Franz und Josef Records already got is own thread here: http://www.soulstrut.com/index.php?/forums/viewthread/76096/

Now even German television featured him as the unfriendliest shop owner. They tested him with two volunteers, and the funniest thing comes up at the end.



Best moments:
Volunteer:
Do you have modern records?

Owner:
I have nothing.

Volunteer:
Something like Casper (A german rapper)?

Owner:
I only have shit in this store.

Volunteer:
You only got shit in this store?

Owner:
Only shit.

Volunteer:
Can I listen to this?

Owner:
Pfft, no.

Volunteer:
I just would like to hear it.

Owner:
You dont need to.

Volunteer leaves the shop.

Owner:
And never come back!

--------------------------

2nd Volunteer:
You are not in a good mood.

Owner:
Whats wrong with you? If you dont want to buy anything - just leave

2nd Volunteer:
I wanted to buy something.

Owner:
You dont need to buy anything - where is the problem?

2nd Volunteer:
I just wanted to listen to this record.

Owner:
You asked, you got the answer. if you dont like the answer, dont ask.

--------------------------------------------------------

They interview him in front of the camera.

Question:
Why are you like that?

Smiling Owner:
5 Euro records are not gonna be played to shoppers - enough said.

Question:
Yeah enough said, but to tell the shopper - never come back...

Smiling Owner:
You have to see that in another way. If someone is not willing to spend 5 Euros for a record than he is either stingy or he got no money. If he got no money it is no problem, if he is stingy I cant take it - not if we talk about 5 Euros - than I'll have to drop a punchline.
But this doesnt mean that I'm not happy if I earn 1 Euro, this is no arrogance. I'm really really happy about every Euro I'm earning.

Question:
But thats a contradiction.

Smiling Owner:
No, its no contradiction. I just dont want to be steadily angry or nerved - I dont need those kinda peoples. (Grin)

Overdubed Voice:
But the complaints do not bother him at all, quite the contrary, he is selling a book with all the complaints from the internet for 3 Euros.

The unfriendly qoutes from him are marked in this book..... ;-)

Overdubed Voice:
Maybe he is not the unfriendliest, maybe he is the honest shop owner.

    If Frank owned a record shop and didn't behave like this I think I'd be disappointed. Some people wear cantankerous as a badge of honour.
    :-P

    I'd like to see what would happen if Ginger Baker wanted to buy something.

    Actually this dude doesnt seem so bad - just very particular and picky.

    To me, The Mad Hatter, in Tucson, was not just the most unfriendly RSO I have come across, I think the man was evil.

    Tess watched the Ginger Baker documentary the other day and was talking about how she admired that he just did his thing and didn't compromise himself to get along with others. I contended that he was really just an asshole.

    Well, you know what they say: one man's asshole is another man's goatse (please don't google that if you don't what it is already)

    Google image that shit or your soft like baby thighs...TIP: make sure you do it with a mouthful of questionably old red kimchi...

    I love the German dude and that record Nazi dude.

    Ha, I've been to this shop. There was a younger dude with a beard working there who was more apathetic than asshole-ish.

    They really didn't have shit in there and what they did have was mad overpriced.
