it wasnt ment to be like that

i forgot to add that the actually act of skateboarding isnt accepted in my school but the companies are. i just found it annoying...annoying enough to start a thread on it.

that happened a couple years ago when high schoolers started sporting Spongebob Squarepants backpacks.

I went into a Zumiez a couple days ago cause the girl at the register looked hot from afar. 

When i actually went into the store i found out the girl was a dude.

Oh, and the only videos they had for sale were the Ice Cream video and that 411vm bails video.

Go to the local park and wait for one to get in the way. When he does, take his board and just throw it really hard or something.

i made the mistake of going into one in a mall when i was in colorado. i knew that the place was filled with dweebs but i wanted to check them out just in case they ever came to the boston area so i would know what we were up against. it was by far the lamest "skate shop" i have ever been in, and mind you i am from an area where blades, boards, and skates existed. i walked in and the only two things i can remember seeing were yellow visors and a lifesize bam cardboard cutout with a zumiez logo on it. i took two steps in, then i walked right out and made sure no one saw me go in

i stole 3 tools from them once ha.
zumiez is so easy to steal from.

a lot of there pants dont have tags on them, so you can just go in the fitting room, and wear them.

but yeah i know what you mean.
if you walk into my school, you see DGK ALL DAY everyfuckinghwhere.

Half the people that work there don't even skate. My friend bought a board there and the guy was fucking up the most obvious shit. He put his trucks on backwards the first time around and got confused when we pointed it out. I was trying so hard not to laugh.

I went back to my hometown to visit my parents. It was the weirdest thing. For some reason, I thought the whole town had started skateboarding. Everyone was wearing the newest shit. It was just the West 49 and Boathouse in the mall that had been there for a year.

Why do these supposed 'skate shops' hire a bunch of people that don't know a damn thing about skating? Do they think someone who skates can't ring up a register or help someone find the perfect pair of skin tight pants?

like any real business, they hire people based on their resume/qualifications.  just because someone skates doesn't mean their qualified to do the job.  most skaters aren't exactly the crispiest chips in the bag so to speak, plus its not like skaters are know for being dependable. 
for the most part, if the weather is nice, everything else takes a backseat.  i have had many friends that have quit/lost their job so they could go skate.

Working a register isn't exactly brain surgery. A monkey could do that job.

i'm not saying someone has to be a brain surgeon, just qualified but more importantly dependable and trustworthy which are qualities that are very hard to find in one individual.  whatevs, i'm just stating a possible reason why they hire people that have no idea what skateboarding is, thats all.  i've never even seen a zumiez let alone been in one.

i hate saying anything negative about any one particular skateshop but i was in a zumiez last week and it just sucked.  from the totally cracked out sales chick who was trying too hard to be down ("hey man are you sponsored?") to the kids in the back bragging about their tricks ("yeah man i could totally do it backside, i have my backside tricks wired better than my frontside ones"), i was bummed on the whole experience.

I went there back in the day when they had $89 dollar completes and $30 sale shoes.  Tried to get a girl to grip the complete and the bitch said she couldn't do it.  In retrospect, I should have made a big deal about it.  What clown at a "so called" skate shop doesn't know how to grip a proper deck?   At least fake it ho!

I'm all for skater-owned-skater-opperated local shops but I back Active jeans... Reasonably priced, a couple good cuts, and made in the USA.
