Having to install 2 RTD systems on 2 laptops this morning. Should be easy right? Just install the software and drivers for the peripherals. Yeah, no problem. Uhhhh... no. This is a bare bones refurbished PC with Win 10 in S-Mode installed.

Here's the process I've developed for these pieces of ****:

1. Kill ALL downloads (may have to wait a minute or two)
1a. Go to Store and click upper right bars to find them

2. Sign in to Microsoft Account

3. Go to Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation

4. Update Store

5. Repeat #3^

6. Click GET

7. Activate .NET 3.5
(TURN OFF WINDOWS UPDATES!)
7a. Type: appwiz.cpl (or type Windows Features)
7b. Click on Turn on Windows features (may have to wait a minute or two)
7c. Select .NET 3.5 (includes...)
7d. Select "Let Windows..."

8. RESTART

9. Change Account settings to Local Sign In

That's just to be able to install the RTD software, and most of the time the system just hangs. These are systems that are put in place into $300k+ facilities, so spend the extra $200 on a new laptop with a full OS installed. Son of a bitch. I'm so ****ing done with these things.

wtf

I am 100% turning into that record store guy who is grumpy...BUT...only when faced with stupid people who can't take hints or assh*les who can't take 'no' for an answer. I'm not a snob. I'm not scoffing at peoples music tastes or sh*tting on opinions but the day to day grind of running a business like I do is starting to take effect in some ways. It mostly comes down to me not having a higher up manager/corporate overlord to answer to when something goes awry. I can deal out my own decisions and carry out conversations how I see fit. To date we have 90 Google reviews and a 4.9 out of 5.0 with pretty much everybody stating how down to earth and chill my partner and I are so I'm not worried about any sort of decline in business because I can get moody with jerkoffs. It's just that when you buy things from the public, you end up running into scenarios like the following...

These happened in the last four hours mind you. It's been a frustrating day and is the reason I'm making this post. I'm venting.

I had to explain multiple ways to a woman that we do NOT get new releases and that we are a used store. She could not grasp the concept of 2nd hand and was upset we didn't have the new Chance the Rapper album.
Another weekly occurance of a dude thinking his Beatles stuff is worth thousands even after I physically show him the same items I am selling for $10 and under.
I told a guy multiple times over the phone that I'm not buying CDs at the moment. He comes in an hour later with 300 CDs "just to see if I want any" and is suprised when I tell him I'm not looking at them.
Another weekly occurance of "Do you buy X?" with me kindly saying "no" and then they ask me if I would just take it. No, dude, throw your own garbage out.

I haven't told anybody off yet but I'm getting close to it.

Dig deep for this dude even if he’s annoying; when you’re broke you pretty much have to try.

I’ve done this at bookstores. I get they have limited space but sometimes I’m thinking but this is really worth reading. It’s sad.

Not the same with a Bon Jovi record or whatever you’re describing.

Get em Exo! Don't let those ignoranuses push you around.

OccultHawk · 08-08-2019, 03:38 PM

Poor Exo has to listen to jazz all day in an air conditioned record shop.

~~jwb~~ · 08-08-2019, 03:47 PM

I bet Exo is passive aggressive as ****, based on the grievance list

Just go with aggressive every one in a while, Exo. Feels good man.
