Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
Very true.
I also like the comment from "Esther" about alphabetical order not being of use to many custys.

I thought the pawing-through was part of the Five Dollar Movie Experience. Anyone can go and select a fourteen or a twenty-dollar movie from the neat shelves, but you pay for that nice, convenient shelf sorting. A willingness to adventure a little and paw through a bin for awhile gets one a better deal. (And the movies in the bin are often older or otherwise miscellaneous, but there it is.)
Just don't ever take a female friend or roommate up on the 'I have $20, the box wine is $13.50, let's watch whatever we can pick out of the $5 movie bin with our eyes shut!' game. You never pull out anything suitable for Box Wine Sleepovers when you do that, and the one time you do, it will be 'Steel Magnolias' and you will be crying in a pile with four other girls. (We gave our wine money for the next three months to the Kidney Foundation just to make the sad go away.)

Same reason that our children's picture books are in NO order, save that we try to keep the various series together; the chapter books are filed "All the A's mostly together, all the B's... etc." Only the teen books manage to stay mostly alphabetical.
People won't let you keep them any other way!

Putting the movies in the $5 bin in alphabetical order would last all of five seconds, tops.

I agree, I thought the big bin of $5 bin movies was part of the experience. Digging for gold, so to speak. The problem is the twits who put full price movies in that bin, making those who dig think they've found gold, only to find out we paid full price anyway.
