All DVDs and videos in stores include the bar code on the actual DVD so
they can match the box with the DVD and so people can't leave with
them. It's pretty common.

Um, why else in the world would they greet you?

But you just said when someone greets you, it makes you feel all warm
and glowy inside because you're 60! So now you're saying you ignore it?
Which is it?

Whoopie! So what you're doing then is hoping you can make that extra
dollar. That's wonderful and I wish you the best with that.
As for the cockiness, I was referring to my saying "no 18 year old
knwos more about film than I do" and you made some stupid comment knock
off to my comment about 18 year olds making you feel great because they
say you're name. Maybe I misread it as cocky or condescending - that's
how it came across.
