I know I've told that story countless times before, but it is a classic.

BB had just opened its first store in Brazil nearby. I went there, and I was looking for "Seven Samurai".
The first time stepping into that, compared to the mom and pops, was a bit overwhelming. So I asked an attendant for, and I quote, Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai".
The person was literally thinking out loud: "Hmmm, Seven Samurai. Is that action? Is that in European Cinema?" (Me, in my head because I can think and not speak at the same time: "WTF!?") "Well, hold on, let me check it in our database."
So I lounge around for a few. I realize there is a Classics session, and I can't see it. The person comes back and (wait for it): "No, we don't have Seven Samurai. Can I offer you Seven Ninjas?"
