True Porn Clerk Stories seems to have drawn to a close, sadly but appropriately. Ali, who described in both hilarious and poignant detail her life as a clerk at a video store with a large adult movie section, has gone off to new employment, and has written her “valedictory address.”
To everyone else, I’d just like to say this: Be nice to your video clerks. Rewind, take your late fees like an adult, and keep the spooge to a minimum. Better yet, be nice to anyone you meet in a customer service position. Odds are very, very good that they’re having a rougher day than you are, and it’s easy to become a store favorite just by being The Friendly Guy Who Never Yells.
Like a long-running show on closing night, we draw the curtain and turn off the lights. Good stuff.
