Today's post is ALSO brought to you by the letter "C"

So this dumbshit-no-smarter-than-a-bag-of-hammers-fuck-up girl had her last day at the storeon saturday.
she's going to go work at the French Maid as a "server" to make mo' monies.
but god damn i wanted to punch her in the face last shift. i had no idea a person could degrade herself to such a pathetic state. she was full on embarrassing the store by being there. cuddling up to me like a kitten while i'm trying to serve customers, playing Facebook games while i have a lineup of 4 people while proclaiming "fucking shit, i lost again," and sitting down on the stock cart begging people to pull her around.
jesus christ.

so i got a slip of paper and started writing on it, knowing full well she'd take it from me to see what i was up to.
upon opening it, she found a single bold word i'd addressed to her:

CUNT

not very standupish, but very satisfying when she realized i knew she'd ask for the paper. for a moment, and only a moment, she was actually offended.

Gabriel

So we had employed this DOUCHE of a guy Gabe. Bob did eventually fire him thanks to my persuasion. after GAYbe was gone, he emailed a letter to Bob and Cc'd the District Manager. Bob printed it off for us all to laugh at.
here it is:

Regarding my Dismissal,

It's unfortunate Bob that it has come to my dismissal from the Liquor Depot in Altadore due to what you term as 'attitude'. All I wanted was a fair shake, and the ability to work the hours as they are posted week to week. I feel that my removal from your staff was something that you have hoped for for a while now, due to the many ideas I presented to you that you could not comprehend, and using the schedule as a tool to bring this about is pretty low, as you have shown in the past with previous employees.

Please note that all I ever wanted in the Liquor Store was to make it better. Customers, in any business, have always been my number one priority and ensuring the bottom line is met and the brand enhanced for stockholders is always on my mind. But as you said, you only care about that location, if in fact you care at all. The amount of dust in the store made me wonder sometimes.

Many times I have approached you with ideas to increase awareness and productivity, that have been turned down by you, and two really stick out.

1) We asked for a sign in the empty spot on the Supplier logo wall pointing to the correct door for the beer cooler and your answer was that "90% of the customers know where the cooler is" and to me, that is unacceptable, because the goal of any business should be %100 satisfaction. A piece of bristol board is 3 bucks and a few mins to make a sign could have ensured that the customers don't have to worry about anything except Getting What They Came For. But to you, 90% is good, and I apologize I cannot agree with that.

2) Labour costs are usually the number one cost behind any entity and counting inventory is a large part of that in the LSGP chain. Watching your employees who have been with you for months spend most of the night counting one section led me to offer you a quick cheat sheet type system that would have cut hours from this process and could have been applied to the whole chain, yet you flat out turned it down, citing "I know where every bottle is in this store." That's great that you do, but for the most part, most of your employees don't have that knowledge, and that leads to them calling you at 8pm because they can't find something. When they are spending most of their time counting sections that the Loss Prevention Manual clearly states is a Managerial duty, this takes away from other tasks, such as prepping, cleaning and stocking.

I'm sorry Bob, but it's not about you. It's about the LSGP and the customers who provide the revenue to make it a continued success, and I will continue with that attitude wherever I work.


Regards,
Gaberial

PS. Some of us had talked about the possibility of some overnight hours to give the store the thorough cleaning and re-arranging that would make it better, so please consider that. The floor needs to be waxed and buffed and the display boxes moved to clean under them, as some of them haven't been moved in a long time and things are growing behind them.

PPS I know it really bothered you when I talked about Social Media and how it could be applied to LSGP to showcase the brand. I'm sorry that I ever brought it up.

Infestation

This is where i work.
it's disgusting.

iz disaster.

Break in

So last night my store got kind of broken into. some hooligan punched out the loading dock door's window in hopes of finding a handle on the inside. he did not.
apparently there were security companies and cops involved. no one bothered to call Bob.
here are pictures!

Sanksgivink

so i was the only person Eligible for time and a half pay yesterday; i was the only one who had worked the past five mondays in a row and could hold my breath for over two minutes.
but since i had i dinner to go to, Bob had me open the store instead of him (which subsequently led to Garrett having to close the store and miss his dinner which made me feel like a right asshole).
Bob had to come in for an hour to place the order for wednesday, but before he left, he handed me a bottle of wine.
and not a cheap one either.
he said: "hkere, man. Happy Sanksgivink. Jus' don' tell anyone; i'll get in trouble!"
what a guy.
He stole me a bottle of wine for Sanksgivink.

Mackenzie Towne

so Bob pulled me aside today.
he says:
"Thom, uh, you know Mackenzie? zhey're lookink for a new manager. you vant ze job? i vill talk to Christina [District Manager] for you if you vant."

good gravy! i've been working for the store for a little over four months and Bob wants to give me my own store!
i declined of course, but i thought it was blog-worthy

Like Bear

so Sunday, Garrett and i took it upon ourselves to completely reorganize the stock warehouse room at the ol' LD. i burned through about 9 pallets worth of shit myself and Garrett did at least that much if not more. yesterday (Monday) we got a massive order (7 pallets instead of the usual 3) and i completely finished those as well.
point is, yesterday, Bob was talking about how impressed he was with the warehouse and summarized it as such:

"iz good! HAHA! soon you be like bear! HAHA z'muscles! working feels good!"

Fucklift

i got to use the big electric forklift at work yesterday.
i nearly accidentally a whole pallet of Crown Royal.
i'm a walking fucking disaster. it's awesome.

Hairulo Blogoev

was going to be the title of this blog originally, after our boss, Bob. it was going to be a blog about funny/ridiculous/racist things that happen at work. but what happens when the happy day comes that we don't have to work at the Liquor Depot?
well, no matter what work we do, iz disaster.
i go for smoke.
