Basically I walk into Gaslight Video in Groenkloof Plaza to have one of my disc polished. I say to the girl behind the counter "I would like my disc polished, please." Now she's got earphones in and she doesn't get a word I say. I hand her the R20 to have my disc polished and she just looks at it and says, "What is this for? Do you want to take a video out? " I feel like wringing her neck, but I take a deep breath and tell her calmly, "I asked if you could please polish my disc." She says "Oh, polish." And she does. After 2 minutes, she hands me my disc back and says "How am I supposed to hear what you're saying if you mumble? "
Well, I guess maybe Gaslight Video is a video store just for youngsters with a bad attitude, it's not for old toppies like us. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go k themselves!
