Ansamcw Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 WOW...this minion is bowing once again in total agreement KAndre... Fans are certainly over reaching in this instance...if Clay was put out when a fan told him Invisibel needed work...what do you think he woudl think of fans calling up distributors and practically harrassing stock people... It really hard at times to dispute the stereotypes people have of Clay fans when we hear of incidents like this...sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sometimes I think some of Clay's fans are his own worse enemies! Sometimes?!?!? Only sometimes?!?!? I guess that's just me then. *g* Or maybe not...because as Ansa says: It really hard at times to dispute the stereotypes people have of Clay fans when we hear of incidents like this...sigh There are some fans who think that since "insert company or person's name here is a nincompoop who can't do their job correctly," they must do it for them. Sorry, the business world doesn't work like that. I bet they followed their children all around too, making sure that the teachers gave their kids all A's, even if their work was D level. Let's see...topics du jour for today. I'll take Clay, stubble or no. If he's a hobo, he's certainly a well dressed one lately. Ooooh, I know...a shaving scene. Imagine hot lather...and a shaving brush...and...uh...uh... What was I saying? Claygasm, I agree that he deserves better...but I also know that these things happen. It's just sad that Clay's caught in the middle a bit. But then I tell myself that's Clay's a grown man, and he certainly doesn't need me protecting him. He'll learn his lessons.

bottlecap Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 A big ole WHATEVER, DUDE. Can you see my eyes rolling? Anyway, has anyone ever seen Tyra's talk show? I haven't, but I assume she's a little more congenial than Martha "The Snow Queen" Stewart, who acted like she has an icicle up her butt. Do you think Tyra will teach Clay how to catwalk and strike a fierce pose? Hee. I read a newspaper article once where the author was learning do the catwalk moves. He was told the facial expression to use was a slightly pissed "Where is my car" look. Or in Clay's case, maybe a "What do you mean you have no chicken?" sneer. Okay, if Clay looks better for every show, and he looked almost unbearably handsome for the Martha show (I LIKE THE STUBBLE) maybe I should just go ahead and make sure my funeral arrangements are in place before the Regis & Kelly mid-November appearance.

playbiller Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 OK, Here is where I think it is fine to talk to the staff. I went into best buy and was buying a fan pack for someone. I saw no Clay CDs, so I asked someone if they had any CDs somewhere else in the store, although I had not seen ATDW anywhere. They told me to ask someone who worked in the department. So I asked a guy with a bunch of DVDs on a cart - he said he did not take care of music, although he worked in the department and to ask someone else. I saw a man in a suit with a name plate looking at CDs - tried again. He said the I should talk to a stock person. At that point I went to look for the manager to ask just who worked in this department (it was a biiiigggg department.) the manager was not available,the help desk would not help me. Hence I unloaded to the help desk about the loss of sales because I could not find what I wanted (didn't say what it was ) and that there was no one available to help me. It was a general rant and the person just shrugged. I guess I should write them. And I never mentioned Clay. I also admit writing Walmart when they had the sound check that wasn't. I asked what exactly a soundcheck was since it ws inaudible in the store. I asked if it was really a picture check. Note, it was not on the TVs, just on overhead monitors and inaudible, no one in the electronics department knew what a sound check was. I did not mention who was on the sound check. That is it, that was all, well, maybe writing to Amazon and asking why my CD was shipping in the middle of November - turns out they ran out of a book I ordered (although they said it was in stock when I ordered it) and supersaver shipping means they had to wait for them all to come in. Mind you supersaver shipping is not free shipping. OK, I Lied, I asked a clerk if they had any CDs in the back (not mentioning Clay) in Target and he said they had very little space in back and all CDs were out. - Thus I knew that Clay had sold over 100 CDs that week in that store. OK, I am done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansamcw Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 hey I did check out ANTM because I wanted to check out Tyra and I was very impressed with her. I also saw a clip of Tyra interviewing the kids on So You Think You Can Dance...and she was a hoot. She asked fun questions and seem very interested in them and was very animated...She also danced with Benjie and wow that was totally hot. She seem so tall though she towered over Benjie, Doyelle and Heidi, so I checked her height and she is only 5'10" or 5'11"...so Clay will probably be a bit taller than her. But she is fun, down to earth and gorgeous...Looking forward to that. specially since its supposed to be for an HOUR...cool!!! I need to find it in my schedule though... ...Play...I think it is totally legitimate to look for the CD if it is not there. I always make it a point to ask people in my grocery store when I am looking for soemthing...if they don't have it an inquiry tells them there is an interest in it and they may end up ordering them for you. I do believe store clerks just don;t know how to give customer service anymore. I don't see anything you did as crossing the line...you are just a customer looking for service. But I do get squicked when fans interrogate store managers or even the distributors to get information beyond what is observable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiaclay Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Evening everyone. Waving and waving and waving. I have just been so beat down at work this week with work. It has been a long long week so far and it is only Tuesday. Whoosh!!!. Been reading the boards for the last couple of days and with the angst and hullabaloo going on, I just decided to go into hermit mode and just crawl under some sand. Everybody here is so well versed. I feel at a loss for the written word. I am so tired right now, that I cannot even think straight. Just came out to say HI and again waving to all my friends. I bow to you KAndre.

playbiller Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) Yay, Couchie is here. Hope your Mom is better. Been there. I am sure I never crossed a line, Personally, I think asking for the CD is fine, but I have enough thank you. I bought some K marts for people, but they changed their minds, so you might say I have too many. I also am waiting for a few birthdays to role around, this is by far the cheapest gift I can give I am nothing if not cheap. I don't have a problem with people reporting stock or even straightening up a little, I did move a crappy CD from infront of Clay's once. I think pre-ordering would have been good and assured stock was there, but I guess people didn't do that this time. I know some fans did not buy this Cd, and that is thier choice, I find it hard to believe that anyone hates it, but there is not accounting for taste. My taste is certainly eclectic. I just get really botrhered with people who wave around their connections like it means anything and the experts who make pronouncements to their following. I also am disturbed by people who are still playing the AI card. I am a competitive person, but not with other people's lives. Tyra - I watch tyra - she has a mix of shows - some makeovers, some confrontational. The last one I saw was the Flava Flav show, and was very funny. Tonight, is Ruben on Kimmel Right? I want to see this! If he interviews him, maybe Ruben will be as funnny as on the Oprah after show. Oops, Ruben is on tomorow.

KAndre Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Asking for CDs? Lord, that is a fan's job! Bitching at Wal-Mart? Also a perfectly lovely job. Bitching about end cap placement, how many slots are held, what's the backorder push...that's when someone should gently tell people, "OK, applications to be a stock clerk are in the back...don't call us, we'll call you." play! TWO emoticons?!?!? You're scaring me, chickie! I did say oddly attractive hobo - it probably is the suit - but dagnabbit, the man is just SWEET clean-shaven...I could eat him up. I didn't say I minded the hobo hitting on me now... I am looking forward to Tyra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
