walk away but i have nowhere to go three two one when you work in an office meeting the public whether it's in person or by telephone is an important part of your job it can be pleasant like this i know this is going to end with sexual harassment isn't it it's 1958 so yes [Music] madman season 8. it's like the peter botanicas it can be like this still for sale if you really hate trees sammy's starting off big so roger rito all you have to do is make fun of the movie and it shows up on screen and people can vote for you [Music] no just got here golly you look tired don't you feel well barbara i feel terrible where's my baby what's the matter you think no it isn't that i've decided to quit my job oh what happened is it your boss oh no you know i like him well then the company no the company's all right it isn't that it's the people that come into the office they're so rude and inconsiderate it's just more that i can take day in and day out why meeting people is the thing i like most about my job it's always the best i think it's fun having new people come into the office all the time i'm a woman we don't belong out of the kitchen just can't stand mooring though meeting the public was pleasant because she enjoyed people and greeted them with a smile for barbara meeting the public was tiresome and unpleasant because they're absolutely cold and uncooperative sometimes even antagonistic you know when i first started i felt like you do barb but i found out how wrong i was what do you mean i found out it wasn't really the other people i was seeing it was a reflection of myself i was crossed with them they were crossed with me oh it's not as simple as all that you'd be surprised i found out that if you're nice to people they're usually nice to you too well the people in my office are different and i'm simply not going to stand for it any longer they're all out now barb i know just how you feel let's talk about it again later on it's no use ruth really i've made up my mind i'm going to start looking for a job tomorrow i've got the table oh here i'll do it everything else is ready why don't you go in and sit down and rest for a few minutes no thanks i think i will if you really don't mind what you need is some good hot food in you to make you feel better oh it's not that ruth i know i'm tired but it's more than that i said they were all [ __ ] a reflection of myself i don't see how it could be so where's the man of that i expect i've got my work to do i can't stop and pass the time of day with every person who wants to strike up a conversation what's up i ski-doo [Music] it doesn't matter what year is it i'm going to look for another job we got a game guys we got a game here we go [Music] how much longer are we going to have to wait there's no place like home see that man he's one of mr thompson's biggest customers i have an appointment with mr franklin dressed like that yeah do you well i doubt if he'll be able to see you at all i see she's brushing him guess his shabby clothes have a fool [Music] i wish he'd answer that telephone it makes me nervous to have it ring come to think of it i let it ring off [Music] hello yes who yes this is mr franklin's office no he's busy bobo i love your profile picture now no i don't know who's in charge of that [Music] oh yes i suppose so ah if you want to [Music] have a seat we're in the middle of watching uh psa got a game going enjoy yourself thank you for the raid yeah i see mr franklin please what did you know about i'd like to discuss that with him if i may is it about a job no i represent the bragging company you selling insurance we're one of your company's suppliers well sammy is triggered see if he'll see you she should really find out what his business is but not like that's a dalton she should do it tactfully well i guess those questions were kind of blunt do you think she'd know who the bragging company is mr franklin isn't him he isn't i said he isn't in thank you he is a man well then why has she got me sitting here waiting there i don't think she told that man the truth well i'm gonna find out whether she told me fight fight fight get lost mister [Music] the plot thickens it is me i'm darth vader [Music] directed by m knight shama llama ding dong [Applause] you know what you said before about seeing the reflection of ourselves yes well i think i'm going to try it that's fine barb i know you'll find that if you're nice to people they're usually nice to you too and you were there now how about some dinner in the days that followed barbara did her best to acquire a genuine interest in people for she found that smiles are effective only from their genuine wait is that we practiced the first basic rule in meeting the public remembering that's receiving just a moment oh yes mr borden i'm sure that mr thompson will be glad to see you of course mr farnsworth i'm sorry mr pratt she formed the habit of tactfully getting the name and business of every visitor and introducing him in a pleasant gracious manner mr thompson this is mr markham of allied manufacturing company she learned to anticipate mr thank you for the bitties and they have ready for all materials you might require during an interview when it became necessary to interrupt that's oh and by the way that coat doesn't look like you bought it on sale at burlington coat factory at all well done mr thompson however actually liked not having to talk to any of those people and promptly fired her that it's a mistake to argue with visitors you have an appointment at 10 30. mr thompson should be with you in just a few months with your mind waiting over there as different kinds of situations came up barbara discovered the proper way to handle them one of these was the inquisitive caller i suppose you girls managed to keep busy yes there's always enough work to do there's a rumor that the firm closed a big deal with marshman company is that so yes know anything about it i can't say that i do however if you'd like to see mr walker perfectly all right it's not that important yes barbara let's be on guard against the visitor who asked too many questions roger you almost made me spill up my wine i literally almost spit took she learned how to turn away a visitor firmly without making an enemy of him can i make an appointment now for some time next week anytime i'm free any time well perhaps i can phone you when an appointment would be more convenient i have your number well all right that's fine thank you thank you you have such a pretty mouth [Music] she learned good telephone matters like answering promptly using the caller's name mr thompson's office yes certainly mr hunt she got into the habit of using a [Music] [Laughter] [Music] that's that's a vote for both of you because you came up with the same [Music] above all what barbara acquired in the days that followed was a real understanding and liking of people she found that smiles are contagious the courtesy begets courtesy and because of her changed attitude the duties which had once been a nightmare for her became instead the pleasant and exciting experience of meeting the public people really got too close in the 50s she soon gave her away her murdering tendencies [Music] all right good job guys well done well done beautiful beautiful work okay so it's my fault for watching about five minutes of that thank you for the vote for watching like five minutes in that and not realizing the the lesson she learned is because she went on a bad trip she had some mushrooms earlier and then she

let's just try it congratulations for being at the debut of team mode in mystery pinball theater let's let's play the feud do it you ever seen a grown man naked oh yeah tell me something get down i'm the scat man oh excuse me oh thank you oh hi is this paris i didn't see you come man i haven't seen you in a week or so have you been out of town or something oh no our vcr was just repairs again it was awful can you imagine trying to make conversation with mr harris well anyway it's back now good you know we have a lot of different movies you might not have seen before can i help you find anything in particular oh thanks i'll just look around i'm sure i'll find something you get frizzy hair too team one is already on a freaking tear come on team two it's yo marie hey let's wake up who are you my name's buster buster sales uh our trailer tape must have jammed i am no tape see all the money hey and on video cassette this guy is weird eugene levy what are you doing here i am a professional opportunist that doesn't sound very nice no no not that kind of opportunist John Youssi i'm one of the world's greatest authorities on opportunities i find people who need help i help them and clearly you need some help especially with finding opportunities i know an opportunity when i see it sure by the time mrs harris's son brian asked you out and you turned them down to go to jane allworth's stupid slumber party shh not so loud god his mother is right over there and anyway how was i supposed to know that huh i can help you with your hair the beautiful eyes and the tickets to the bon jovi concert i don't want to discuss that don't worry she can't hear us and it's a good thing last week you had an opportunity to rent mrs harris a blockbuster vcp oh while hers was being fixed yeah but she doesn't need one now she needed one last week so you had an opportunity to tell her about your rental units two weeks ago then she'd have known she could rent a vcp from blockbuster when she needed one oh video cassette player you can go tell her now good idea oh and ask her how brian's doing while you're at it you might still have a chance with him we'll talk more about opportunities later thank you hawkeyes i wanted to remind you that we have video cassette players for rent so if you ever have to put yours in for repair again you can just stop in here and pick one up well good i'm glad to know that i'll do that next time well you're out of the new releases i wanted oh i'm sorry what movie did you want well actually i wanted to see sean connery in the hunt for red october but you're out well i'm sure we have some copies coming in later today and we probably have some other sean connery movies by the way how's brian oh he's fine actually i thought he might be meeting me here he has some friends coming over tomorrow night and i guess he's counting on mom's delivery service to pick out the music videos will you help me here what do you think i should pick out um how about a sword no yeah i think i'd go with those two plus plus this one i'll tell brian i said hi okay and i'll see you when you bring those back team two coming back and you think you can spot an opportunity now what i told her about the vcp rentals and i helped her pick out the tape and that's fine but didn't you miss something what like a chance to meet right now no no look at it this way you have sean connery you add mrs harris's interest and what do you get you get more rentals and a happy customer i told her we had other country movies what can you name could you have placed the connery tape in mrs harris's hand i guess so but sometimes i forget the titles look at it this way there's three basic steps remember to listen to your customers because they're giving you clues about their needs second think how blockbuster can solve those needs third act with good customer service stop drop and roll get the picture look at this list of 50 best videos and commit them to memory get to know popular actors in all their movies oh that's a great idea i'll go tell brian's mom i mean miss harris don't be pushy just be helpful i skidoo okay i have this back saturday night before midnight okay thanks bye bye blockbuster hi kristen how's it going pretty bogus actually i may be sitting again this weekend maybe he's hitting such a drag i know how you feel so you ready to check out sure what now you want to keep an eye on this i see an opportunity coming hey are you okay you look a little freaked out huh oh yeah i was just checking the monitor that's all now um let's see oh oh i see see what what just the voice is like am i on hidden videos or something no no the voices they won't leave me alone kristen haven't you checked this video out several times before yeah at least five times i mean i could have bought it by now you know why don't you buy it you know all our tapes are for sale 79.99 that's great i'll take it oh and you know what else my little brother spike has a birthday coming up he's a regular star trek maniac he wears spock ears to school and everything but if i only knew which show he wanted i could buy it for him now hey hey why don't you rent a tape now and then see if he mentions one of his favorite episodes to you he gets beat up oh geez that's a great idea now i don't have to give him a vulcan mind mud or something hey where are your star trek videos oh break and show you where thanks and i'll just hold these for John Youssi you kristen i want you to hold it between your legs so how was that not bad hey joe one out of two it's not bad what do you mean one out of two well you rented and sold kristin all the tapes she wanted and that was great but what about spike oh that oh don't worry she'll be back she just wanted to figure out which tape you wanted she does we're doing team mode joe we have a great solution for customers that aren't sure about the perfect gift oh you're right i always forget about the gift certificates until after they've left i should practice that listen think act right it's as easy as one two three team two's coming back excuse me is there something i can help you find oh i doubt it i'm a 60s movie buff and i've been to eight video stores in the last three days looking for the last movie i don't know the name that had both peter sellers and and woody allen in it he went to eight stores and couldn't figure out it's a spoof on james bond film yeah yeah that's it i always wear my bow time all i have to do is find it oh i don't know that's a pretty rare title let's take a look oh great buster what's up blockbuster carries thousands of titles but they're not all in every store you could make this a lot easier on yourself plus show your customers how to find almost any movie they're looking for got it got it you got it where no i mean i've got a great idea have you ever seen our gigantic catalog called video log it's you mean there are more titles than what you have here that's right come on i'll show you what was he doing down there like just listening oh here it is casino royale you know if you ordered this today it would probably be in by the end of the week and i could call you and you would be the proud owner of the last movie with sellers and alan fantastic uh that's just what i need for my collection oh what movies do you collect the comedies and i'm just starting a peter seller series i really don't know much about his films oh he's one of my favorites especially in the pink panther words um why not consider running return of the pink pants ah more scary words i haven't seen that in years great idea okay i'll go get your copy okay all right i think she likes me i want to see my pink head there oh my god ball is good how many times in my pants i'm just trying to get your attention well if you don't mind i'd rather you stick with the whistle what is it this time i found the man his movie yes and you're still batting 500. how so you remember listen think act right peter sellers comedy movies for red that was terrible now think again pbt tapes that's right pink panther babies are for sale there you go so maybe you could show him the pvt tapes right what what what is it what is it pv okay here's your tapes and your popcorn and your raisins you'll be a real hit with brian and all his friends oh and don't forget have these back saturday by midnight okay thanks oh and if John Youssi brian tell him mom's delivery service has him covered previously viewing your house oh team two is coming back oh no team one what are you doing come on t1 you'll be a fat ass by saturday night everything's fair hey what's the big idea oh you again look i haven't missed an opportunity in at least 15 minutes no you've been doing great but there's a real challenge coming your way this isn't going to be your ordinary opportunity well i'll be fine it's just a matter of listening thinking and acting on it there's nothing to it good and remember anything a customer says or does can be a clue and sometimes you have to listen very carefully to hear an opportunity thanks but i think i'm getting the hang of it yeah we'll see here comes marge simpson you know the one that keeps trying to introduce you to her son doug doug's a nerd yeah maybe so but mrs simpson is an opportunity if you can find it remember guys this is a training video hi marie marie have you ever met my son douglas hi doug hello marie so looks like you have everything you wanted yes but sometimes i just can't make up my mind you have such a large selection i know we have over 6 000 titles in our store problem is my husband richard he just goes bananas if i spend more than ten dollars on movies of course he spends that on fishing lures and never thinks twice about it and her husband's a real two more tapes 10 limit no really his name in the store more often you get two or three more tapes each week that way you stay below your husband's 10 limit and you'd get to see more movies each month well you are so helpful and clever doug isn't she sweet she's she's sunshine on a cloudy day right is there anything else i can get to you uh we have a special on microwave popcorn no i don't think so besides honestly i don't think that little clunker of a vcr is going to make it through all these okay the picture just isn't clear anymore don't even think about it well i don't think about it marie but it really is getting bad have you cleaned your vcr heads recently no come to think of it i don't think we ever have well they say you should every 20 hours or so this is what we use on ours here in the store oh i think it does a really good job scary words well maybe i'll give it a try i can come over and clean your hands that'll be taking a shot right 15.84 here goodbye marie parting is such sweet sorrow he has a way with words doesn't he bye bye don't forget saturday before midnight the training video just made fun of the customers by the way guys how was i you were terrific now you ready to go out on your own honestly i'm not sure i mean i almost missed out on that opportunity with mrs simpson but you didn't so tell me what have you learned well to listen to the customers very carefully and to think because anything they do or say may be signs of their needs and to act on the opportunities okay hot guys i got you and then to give the customers the kind of service they expect that's fine i stand corrected well that takes care of that i guess now i'm the opportunity expert okay okay okay already i should have told him about the vcp rentals and cables joan oh marie have we found a little friend to talk to oh friend oh no i was right right hi marie oh brian brian harris uh you just missed your mom but i helped her pick out some great videos i hear you're having a little get together over at your house just remember listen think and act and uh tell buster i said hi sorry let me show you that was a training video like a real
