So I use to work at my LCS, for about five years, and all but two of the guys that work there are ... let's just say jerks.

So I walked in the other day to pick up a copy of thief of thieves #2 and #3. Now, mind you, the issues has been out for well over a month, and there were at least 30 on the shelf. I noticed a little sign under the issues stating "one one per customer". I thought, cool! I've already grabbed a few in the past month to make runs to put on ebay, I'll grab another now. Now, I know that I had already bought 2 or 3 since it had come out, but I didn't expect them to know that. When I walked up to the counter, the guy ringing me up (lets call him D-Bag), stops and says he has to run and grab something from the back of the store. I'm not stupid like he assumes I am, and I see him talking to another clerk (lets call him FahQwit). D-Bag then comes back up to the counter, and in the MOST awkward way says "yeah, we gonna have to put this one back" referring to issue 2, stating that I had already bought one weeks earlier. I was stunned, because although he had every reason to deny me the book, there were at least 30 copies of it on the shelf - not to mention I had been a previous employee. I know that D-Bag did it because he doesn't like me and he COULD do it, but jeeze, I almost canceled my subscription box and walked out at that very moment.

I totally would have canceled my subscription service, and I would also make sure that the manager (or owner) knows exactly why.

A power trip over a $3 comic book. How effin' pathetic is that...? Loser.

The store is "That's Entertainment"
and the names I used were actual.

The only reason that I didn't cancel my sub is that it really is the only decent comic store anywhere close to where I am.

I do think that I'll have a chat with the manager next time I go in. He's one of the only two decent people that work there. It's a real shame too, I love the store, just not the people that work there.
