Post Flu Blues

I've spent the past 5 days riddled with the flu and today was my first day back at the shop. Its fair to say that I'm not completely recovered... i've got a residual cough and I'm still kind of scattered and not quite "with it". Getting out of bed was difficult this morning but I pulled myself up and got my ass to work. Unfortunately my morning routine was bungled by a random bloke... one of those "WTF" customers that any video store geek will instantly recognise. 

Before I even had time for that crucial first cup of coffee some guy wanders up to my counter. Far too cocky for this time of day, without even looking at a single movie he asks "so whats good?". Here we go. My eyes wanted to roll to the back of my head and my chest wanted desperately to exhale an almighty sigh... but alas Im a nice guy. I've never seen this guy in my life. I have NO IDEA what kind of movie's he's into or what he hates. He hasn't even bothered with a dialogue to allow me time to gauge him. And so I started with the As and worked my way to the Zs. I recommended at least 20 films to this guy... titles including Hitchcock, The Hobbit, Wreck it Ralph, Savages and even fucking Pitch Perfect. All the while he just kept nodding, giving me no indication as to whether I was on the right path. It was like a goddamn lucky dip and by the time I had exhausted myself and was  murderous for that coffee... he finally made his selection.
