I got one today: "How come you put the grapes in such big bags?!? I can't eat all these!" He storms off before i can tell him they are sold by weight and he was standing under a bag dispenser. Fuck him and fuck his grapes.
I can relate. I use to work at a Pizzeria some customers I could handle and others I couldn't handle. I use to have this woman call and she was very mean, difficult, and nasty especially if I repeated the order to make sure the order was right to make sure we didn't make a mistake. Plus the phone reception was not good were the Pizzeria use to be.
I was looking at the magazine racks in the back there. The Enquirer mentions Trump and to the right of that is a road Atlas. Anyone old enough to remember those? Those were essential back in the day before GPS and google maps. Imagine trying to drive somewhere without knowing how to get there. You'd typically have to buy an interstate map, then a local map when you got to the general location where you were going.
I still haven't given up on maps. GPS has been wrong on multiple occasions and regardless of that I would still rather have something physical in my hands to help show me the way. Generation x but #boomer
So at this point in the movie Dante is waiting for his boss to relieve him. Veronica knows this as she comments that he was expected to be home by 12. Yet she says "see you when you close then". Even though Dante doesn't find out that he is there til close until the next scene. Can someone please explain that?
Only explanation is that she thinks the boss is lying -- she's rubbing in that he hasn't been relieved yet (which is why she says it twice). Of course, it's actually (probably) a script fuck up, but that is at least an in-story explanation that I suspend disbelief for.
Having worked in retail, I totally understand Randal's point of view. I worked at a liquor store for about 6 months (resumé filler and it was close to my house) and surprisingly it wasn't the occasional drunk guy who'd annoy me the most. It was the fucking idiots who either couldn't read or ignored all the signs I'd put up saying "NO ICE!" whenever we ran out of bags of ice. Seriously I'd put them everywhere. On the front doors, the shelfs, the fridge doors, the snack stand, and on the registers facing the customer. And yet I'd still get people coming in and asking me with a straight face "Do you have any bags of ice?". And none of them were joking. Drove me batshit crazy. So yeah the one thing I never missed from working retail was the customers.
"They never rent quality flicks, they always pick the most intellectually devoid movie on the racks" - and then he later rents hermaphroditic porn, not exactly the stratosphere of intellectual cinematic art, now is it?
Besides, is it not OK at times for us average Joes to rent a silly and entertaining no-great-masterpiece of an action movie from time to time and simply watch and enjoy a movie? Not all the time do we always have to subject ourselves to movies that are important and great works of art. Right?
Thats the only mistake in the entire movie. Dante doesnt realize he is staying to close until after this scene. The next scene shows him being told his boss went to vermont.
The thing that the Randal character keeps ignoring in his constant "You will feel a lot better if you rip into the occasional customer" etc is that, besides it being wrong and not nice of course, there are CONSEQUENCES to such actions and his boss may get the employee in serious trouble for it if not outright lose his job, yet in his argument, whenever the "boss" argument crops up by Dante, Randal just straight ignores it. I mean, OK, maybe you have no respect for others etc but you can have some for YOURSELF and not do certain thinks to avoid actions being taken against you.
I'd agree, but Dante has frequently said throughout the whole film that he hates the job and he hates the boss and that he needs to get out and start his own life. Randal I think just wishes Dante would stop letting the world shove him around and grow a backbone.
I fucking hate Randall lol. As great as this movie is, I loathe his character. I hoped the whole movie that some customer would hospitalize him for running his mouth.
40? Dante and Randal are 22 in Clerks and 33 in Clerks II. Both actors, Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, were 24 at the time of the release of the first movie.
The writing and characters of this movie are genius it just shows you don’t need countless millions to make a great and timeless movie
This movie cost less to make than most people's college degrees. Even adjusted for inflation.
Yes he was.
Ironically cause the movie is actually kinda dated, but in a great way, I love how mid 90s af it is, everything else about it is much more timeless
Clerks 3 sucked ass
When Randall yells "37" I fuckin lost it
Now that I’ve been in the service industry, I 100% relate to Randall
What do you mean there’s no ice? You mean I gotta drink this coffee hot?!
I got one today: "How come you put the grapes in such big bags?!? I can't eat all these!" He storms off before i can tell him they are sold by weight and he was standing under a bag dispenser. Fuck him and fuck his grapes.
I had a customer actually ask me that when I worked in convenience stores lol
Oooo mini trucker magazine!! 😂😂
That was Greg Scarpa before he went into the bathroom
Every time I see Navy Seals on Amazon prime I always say ooh Navy seals
Gross 🤢
I just found out the actress who played Veronica was 33 when this movie was filmed. I would have never guessed her to be that old
She looks like shit now. Aged really bad after all these years.
Really??! Wow I would never have guessed that either! I thought mid 20s
To this day, she doesn't look a day over 37...
Hard to believe she was 60 in Clerks 3. Weird knowing ppl in their late 20s and early 30s during the 90s are pushing and/or are 60+
@@nick56677 there's a clerks 3??????
The most memorable line from clerks doesn't even have words. It's the slurping.
The most memorable line from clerks is, "In a row?"
@@jeffreypelton1260 LOL, IK. But the slurping is a close second.
@@jeffreypelton1260that was hilarious!
I always lose it when Randal says 37?!! And makes slurping sounds LMFAO I love him😂😂😂😂
"He put it into perspective"
Veronica: "What'd he say?"
"At least he wasn't 36"
Veronica: "And that made u feel better?"
Idk but that always gets me😂😂
Slurp slurp slurp
Randy's wavy sing-song voice makes regular dialogues sound laced with sarcasm.
$2 cigarettes... man times have changed
Probably takes a 1.50 nowadays to make a pack, it's all taxes.
“This job would be great if it weren’t for the fucking customers”. Anyone who ever worked retail knows how true this is
If you ever want to make a movie watch this and you will not overthink making a movie. Very inspiring.
Randall is so cool.
*_T H I R T Y - S E V E N ?_*
At least he wasn’t 36.
In a row?
1:26 and thus iced coffee was invented
stupid observation, the price of 2 liters of soda hasnt changed more than 20 cents since '94, but cigarettes have about quadrupled in price.
They haven’t really taxes soda. But tobacco has come under fire heavily by the feds since then. They want that sin tax.
I thinks the price is supposed to be a deterrent.
I can relate. I use to work at a Pizzeria some customers I could handle and others I couldn't handle.

Do you have the one with the guy who that movie that was out last summer.
OOOOO! Navy Seals!

Well it's pretty pathetic to enjoy something dumb
He says NEVER
Hahhaahhahaha. 37!!!
The Milk maid's
I like them. They're quite nice!
Master of my own destiny
Legend says the boss is still in Vermont
Wow look how cheap smokes were back then. $1.68 to $1.95 a pack.
2:12 37! Lol
Truth be told I am a 46 year old dude and I often exhibit milk maid behavior
I've done it too.
1:29 I can’t tell if that girl is trying to sound uninterested or sultry.
This movie killed me back in the day when I went to see it with my video store coworkers. We laughed so much. The third Clerks made me so sad. Jeez
Thats the only mistake in the entire movie. Dante doesnt realize he is staying to close until after this scene. The next scene shows him being told his boss went to vermont.
The boss hasn’t shown up yet he just thought he was running late.
0:43 the foreshadowing of the ending of Clerks 2.
Not really. It was just a gag Kevin got his mom to do.
37!!!
Any job would be great without the customers
Thirty _seven_ ?

I fucking hate Randall lol. As great as this movie is, I loathe his character. I hoped the whole movie that some customer would hospitalize him for running his mouth.
36 is not acceptable
Agreed. I like a woman with more experience than that.
How did Veronica know he was closing when he didn’t know yet?
Legend of Korra brought me here LoL
Dante really didnt deserve Veronica.
Job would be great if wasn't for the fuckin customers.
$1.95 for smokes. Wow.
$1.95 for a pack of smokes? In New Jersey?
It's the smell
$1.95 for a pack of cigarettes
recoveringneurotic
That was expensive. This is North Jersey prices.
1994 1994
Back then minimum wage was like 4.25 an hour so its actually comparable in today's dollars
Thirdddy 7 lol 😂 all the time
o0o0o navy seals!! 😆😆
37

Gods she was beautiful
Sean McManus she really was
37? 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I wish I had an east coast Italian girlfriend like her

What are these 40 year olds doing in college?
