Haunted House

So on the mexican radio station that 1 of my crew members listens to was telling scary stories on the air, don't know why, must be because october is right around the corner. I won't repeat back the story that scared him, but he went on to tell another crew member about it and they told him that the store has a ghost in it.

Let me get this straight, some of the crew members of my store think that it has a ghost in it? Why you ask? Well cause they hear noises and also things fall down for no reason.

OK, I call bullshit on this. My store does not have a ghost in it. Why do things make noise, no clue, thing make noise all the time. Why do things fall? Well cause they aren't stacked properly in the first place!!!

Anyone want to invest in another store with me??? I have ideas!!!!

Promotions!!!

Ok, so I don't really promote other blogs, I will make 1 exception. This is perhaps the best blog ever, well not ever, but it comes in a close second to my blog. Please go to it:

Thanks for going to it and supporting it.

Nothing to crazy going on in my life. Hired a smoking hot girl to work at the store. Now now, before you go saying that I can't hire another smoking hot chick, please understand that yes she is the most qualified since she use to work at another store before it closed down. There would be no way in hell I could of pulled this hiring off if it wasn't for the fact that she worked at an old store. She's so fucking hot, oh and she's young too. Tough life I tell you!!!!

I so hope she works out because of the obvious reasons, but there is another reason, well ahhhhhh there is the #1 reason, but another 1 would be cause it would give me some time off. Whoever said owning your own business is tough is right, fuck them for being right.

I am so trying to figre out a way to buy a new house that is closer to the store. Jennifer and I are commuting 45 minutes each way for us. So something closer would be more nice, but would be more $$$. The house is loaned out, my car is, my ass is, but the store has no debt on it!!! Nice!!!

Going to can my accountant tomorrow and switch to someone new. Will be more $$$, but better advice is good for me and will save me more $$$ in the long run and will leave me with less ?'s at the end of the day.

Quiz

Ok, so this is old, but I've been busy.

So here's the quiz:

What wasn't open on sEaster:

1) Fry's, the local grocery store
2) Petsmart
3) Wal-Mart
4) Long John Silvers
5) The Local MAsage Parlor

If you answered Wal-Mart you were right. No idea why Petsmart or Long John Silvers needed to be open, I guess if u needed last minute pet supplies you could get them or you just had to have the plank special at LJS.

Wally-world

Went to walmart last night to pick up a couple of things. I entered the store around 10:45 and wasn't sure if they closed at 11pm or even when they closed. I asked the store greeter what time the store closed. She looked at me like I was some sort of retard freak and mumbled to me that they were open 24 hours. Ok, well that's new, so shut up and don't treat me like trash.

So I'm checking out a couple of minutes later and while I was in line a midget employee was behind me along with another employee. The midget was complaining that she got called in earlier this week cause the store is short on door greeters. She was saying it was a hard job cause you need to keep an eye on everyone.

Now lets see if I get this straight, arizona probably has one of the highest percentage of retirement people in the country and they can't find some old corpse to prop up in the front of the store. Ohhhhh and what's so tough about being a walmart greeter??? Is it the saying hi to everyone, or maybe it's dealing with stupid people asking what time the 24 hour store closes at.

Speaking of greeters, the one at the local grocery store is crazy, she always says hi to me when I am leaving, I in return say bye and then she says bye too.

Also what's up with never being able to find the basket at the grocery store. When I go into it to buy my 3 items, I always either have to search the place out for a basket or grab a cart. Blaahhhhh!!!!

Speaking of 3 items, that's what I always get at cosco, it's sams club-but not owned by walmart, can they please open up a express lane. They say they care about business, but that's BS. Cause if they cared, they would have an express lane ready to go when you need that last minute/gotta have thing right now. Instead you always have to sit behind the family with 8 kids doing there monthly grocery shopping at that exact moment.

Do your job, I'll do mine!!!

I hate when people tell me how to do my fucking job. I know how to do it. Ok, so a little background on how I work. When I work, I work with gloves on. When I work the register, I leave the gloves on, then when I continue with the work I was doing I put on a new pair of gloves. Today I was taking some guys order and he tells me that now that I have touched his cash, I can't use the same gloves that I have on. He keeps on telling me this while I dealt with him and then when we were done, he told to change my gloves again.

Fuck guy. leave me alone. I run a clean place, not some shit hole.

The Deal

Ok, so I don't care how you feel about the whole Terry Schivo case and I really doubt you care what I think, but there is 1 thing I care about.

I don't want her to die on Good Friday or on Easter cause if she dies on 1 of those days then all the religious zelots will think it's some sort of sign and the such.

Back again

One of my crew members just got back from spring break in mexico. He's from there and went back home. Soooo, he was telling me that all he did while he was back home was pund his gf left and right. Ok, that's fine, I can deal with that. Then he starts telling me how they had oral sex left and right. Ok, now that's to much information for me. Way to much.

Every once in a while he will have the mexican radio station, which is ok, the only thing worse then that is when they start playing mexican dance music. I'm not at a fucking club, I don't want to hear it. He calls that kind of music "punch punch" music, cause the beats punch punch. Well tonight I returned the favor for him and turned on the all dance station here in phx and he hated it. Ahhhh revenge, although I hated it too.

Had a girl come into work today and apply and wasn't to bad looking, actually kind of hot, well she would of been hot if she didn't have 4 piercings on her face.

Customer Service!!!

So I was on my way home last night and I wanted to pick up some food. Usually it's a Del Taco that I go to, but since I don't want to turn into a regular I decide to shake things up every once in a while.

Last week I went to A and W, got some cheese curds, since this is the only place you can get cheese curds down here. Of course what's the 1 thing they forget to put in my bag???? The fucking cheese curds. Fuck me in the ass why don't you. So I called and wanted my money back since I paid with my visa. They told me they couldn't, but they could give me a new cheese curds and a soda. Ahhh, no. I told them they are basically stealing from me and that I wanted my money back. Nope, can't do that, but you can have a free soda. I hung up the phone in disgust.

Last night I hit the local Jack in the Box. Ordered my food and went to the drive up window. The guy asked me how I was doing, I said good and asked how he was, he told me terrible. Great customer service there!!! Things must of been bad for him since he was limping around real bad while getting my food.

I just want a correct order, a smile, correct change, and that's all.

I've been screwed

The president of the company told Jennifer that he would stop down to the store again on tuesday afternoon and guess what, he never showed up. I get no love from the corporate people. They go to every store, except this 1. I don't know why, they just don't want to give me any attention.

Hmmmm other then that, I think I got myself in to good with the local VFW since they always want to feed a whole division from WW2 and only pay .10 a person. I did it once, and now they want to do it again. Shit, I know it's nice to do something for them, but at what point does being screwed take effect.

I'm currently looking to hire another employee, but someone stopped into the store today and filled out an application and they are waaaaaay to over qualified. The guy is an accountant and can't get a job right now. The thing is, do I take the chance on him and let him leave after a couple of months, or do I hire another hottie who will be here a couple of months. Decisions, decisions. In all reality, no hottie has applied lately, but this guy is way to over qualified to work here. What's his deal????

Memories

Ahhh remember how hot Punky Brewster was, not the Punky that was on tv, the one that grew up and had a huge and I mean huge rack. Well then she got them removed cause it was hurting her or some bullshit like that. Well once again she is growing up, she's having a baby.

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050322/people_nm/people_punky_dc_1

So while she may not have the biggest rack in the world anymore, she does like to do it, or else she wouldn't be pregnant.

Nothing to crazy going on in my world lately. It's been kind of quiet, but things will pick up today since the president of the company is stopping by the store. He will be there some time in the afternoon, sooooooo, hopefully he will come around 2-ish so I can talk to him and not around 4-ish when I wouldn't be able to talk to him. So with my luck he will stop by at 4:01.

He stopped in on sunday, the only day I take off and he was impressed with the way the store was, since it was the only store he had been to where people where actually in uniform. He's happy, so I will be happy since he won't lay into me.

Advertising

Why does the post office feel the need to advertise? They have a monopoly on the business, so why advertise? It's not like I am going to take my house payment check to FedEx and pay $7 for something I could 37 cents for. Great waste of cash.

Speaking of wasting cash, why does the power company advertise too? It's not like I have a cold fusion machine or solar panels on top of my house. I don't have a choice in power companies, so quit telling me how great you are, it doesn't make any difference to me.

Went to my first spring training game yesterday. Brewers beat the Rangers 8-5. Either Ben Sheets reached his pitch limit at some point in the game, or they pulled him out cause he didn't want to face the next batter, the feared pitcher was batting.

No way!!!!

Ok, so I have been that guy, looking for a job in radio, so......I can make fun of this guy. Does this surprise anyone that this guy works in radio. Look at him.....




Time to cut the hair, get a new promo pic and then, and I mean only then will you get a job. These are the kind of people that give radio people a bad name. Only thing missing from this guy is a hawaiian shirt. I bet this guy wears station gear to conventions so everyone knows where he is from and that he is "that guy"

Court Fun!!!

So Scott Peterson is going to die, who would of thought? Problem is he is in California and they never kill anyone. If he would of been tried in Texas they take you right from sentencing to Old Sparky. They don't mess around there.

Robert Blake pulls the OJ and kills his wife and gets off. I will say this though, he was less guilty then OJ was, so maybe he didn't really do it, but we all know OJ did. Well everyone knows OJ did it except my mom. She's the only white person in america that thinks OJ didn't do it. Whenever I can get a good OJ jab in on my mom I do and it drives her nuts.

BTW Michael Jackson will get off, from the court case that is.

My Final Four on my brackets this year:
Oklahoma State
Wake Forest
Duke
North Carolina

That's alot of ACC teams, yikes. Dukee Vitale would be proud

Smack my B up!!!

What a great song, "Smack my bitch up" by a band called the prodigy. It's a pitty that most people thought the song really was about hitting women, it was really about doing drugs.

Speaking of doing drugs, someone might of been doing drugs in my store tonight, or in all reality they could of been doing an insiline shot, since I found a syrenge in the bathroom trash tonight, not that I look through the bathroom trash, but there it was. After closer inspection it said it was for a dibetic person. So I'll go with that guess.

Also today I had a fund raising thing going on at the store, so a corporate guy stopped by. Well I was showing him a sales chart that I did on excel and it showed 2003, 2004, and 2005 graphed out with 3 different color lines. I told him that the yellow line was 2005. He then reminded me that the yellow line looks like the rest of the lines since he is color blind. Ooooops. How was I supposed to remember that. Oh well.

Holy S#@t!!!

So I was typing up a nice journal yesterday and got busy with work so I just closed my lap top and went on my way. Soooooo I open it up yesterday and realize the post is still there and Jennifer is right behind me. Shit!!! I danced around it since Jennifer doesn't know about this. I doubt she would enjoy the truth that I write about her here. But the post that I did was real nice. To bad we will never see it ever again. BTW I said it was bubble's website and I was posting on it. Ha ha ha, throw him under the bus, thanks bubs

Arizona is F'd

For the last couple years that I have lived here the government warns us that it has been super dry and that Arizona is going to burn up with crazy wild fires since everything is dry. Well what they say happens. Arizona gets torched every year by wild fires.

So this year we get a ton of rain, so we should be saved right? Nope this time around they say we have had to much rain and that things are growing real good and because of that, there will be crazy ass wildfires this year.

Ok, so it doesn't rain and we get burnt down, now it rains and we are going to get burnt down.

Arizona is starting to sound like hell, crazy ass heat and fire every where.

I'm old and have young employees

For some reason 1 of my employees has a thing for Courtney Love. Don't ask why, I can't explain it. I think it is because he thinks she is crazy, well he is right about that. Ok, so I told him how some people say she killed Kurt and stuff. Well a Nirvana song came on the radio and I said to him that this was her husband. Another employee then says that she didn't know that they were married. I told her well they aren't married anymore since he is dead. She didn't know that either. It's not that she is stupid, she is just young and Nirvana, this is so sad to say, was before her time. I'm so old and she is so young, oh and she's hot too.

Annoying

What's annoying me right now:

Jennifer Lopez's new song, Get Right. I want to stick an ice pick in my ear when I hear that trance that is in the new song

Taco Bell: They got rid of the Grilled Stuft Chicken Enchalada Burrito

Crazy Employees: Ask me and I shall tell

My Mom: Calls me in the middle of the day at work, leaves me a voice mail that she has something important for me. Hmmmm, must be important. While it was important, just not to me. She tells me that there was that shooting in Brookfield. Ok, important for other people, not to me.

Michael Jackson: Bubba can drive 92 mph down the freewa and no one stops him. I even think about going 1 mph over and there is 10 cops around me.

Quit asking

Somehow whenever I talk to anyone that I kind of know from the store they always ask me, "So you ready to buy another?"

Everyone I talk to, whether it be customers that I know since they are regulars, or if it is when I call corporate looking for an answer. Hey everyone, relax, I don't have a night crew right now and I need some time to get that figured out. Quit asking, I will buy another 1 when I am damn ready.

Granted I was in talks to buy another store recently, but hey, I have not done it yet, but I want to and will hopefully do soon.

BUT UNTIL THAT TIME, DON'T ASK ME IF I HAVE OR WHEN AM I GOING TO BUY ANOTHER STORE. YES THAT DOES MEAN NO COMMENTS ABOUT IT EITHER, THEY CAN BE DELETED!!!!


BTW....One week into spring training and I have gone to zero games. Damn I suck

6 Minutes

What's 6 minutes? Well it's 300 seconds? But also 6 minutes could of cost Michael Jackson $3 million today for showing up to court. To Michael Jackson, 6 minutes could of been a ton of cash. It could of been him getting prison rapped in jail. It could of meant alot of bad things for him.

What does 6 minutes mean to me? Well it means that at 10:24 I can't get the lunch menu at McDonalds, I would have to wait 6 minutes. They lost my business for the day cause they didn't want to bend on 6 minutes. How many people are driving thru getting a McGriddle at 10:24 anyways?

The judge bent on Michael Jackson and saved him from getting ass rapped, but good old McD's wouldn't bend and give me a hot and spicy chicken so early. Oh well

My Decision

So I got a check at the store with more money on it then I deserved. It was over $300 more then what I should of gotten. Would of been nice to pocket it, but I did the right thing and I gave the money back. I called them up and I think they were shocked that I did something honest. Damn people out there cheating the world.

Now my new decision is to hire a smoking hot young girl or hire an older perhaps more responsible woman. Ahhh decisions. If I hire the smmoking hot girl, I will start a smoking hot precident at my store and while is good, it might not be good for me.

Why does owning your own business have to be so hard at times. I feel your pain Bill Gates. Life is a bitch, but unlike you Bill, I won't have as much money as you, plus I will never give away 3 billion dollars like you did last year. Spread the wealth Bill, I need some love, or is that loving?

Right from Yahoo News:

Bolton Tapped to Be Next U.N. Ambassador


OMG Michael Bolton is going to be the next UN Ambassador for the United States. I guess he is going to give the UN some time, love, and tenderness. Also will draft a proposal that everyone grows a mullet and play softball.


Yeah Michael Bolton!!!!

Rubi

Ok, so my spanish is very limited, but my mexican crew members are hooked on this soap opera Rubi, and tonight is the finale of it. So I am watching it right now, holy shit this show is crazy. Well here is what has happened so far, a woman has screwed a guy to death, this woman, Rubi, has had plastic surgery and is now disfigured and has 1 leg. Then she is stalking everyone and is going to try and shoot her ex while he is in the middle of getting married, but then stops at the last minute. Then we fast forward a few years and she is a new woman (actor) and find out she is fine and back and better then ever. Will the show continue? They tease you to think it won't, but it will.



Now please remember, this show is great and I don't even understand spanish, I can only imagine how good the show would be if I understood spanish.

On a roll...

Most post by me in a while.

People always say that dolphins are really smart and all that shit, well obviously they aren't that smart since like 70 of them beached themself on a beach in florida. How smart can u be that u need water to survive, but u run yourself out of water. It like for instance, I need food to survive, so the last thing I will do is go to Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. I want to survive, not die.

Also if there was ever a movie that didn't need a sequel, it was Ms. Conginiality. Well guess what is coming out soon, Ms. Conginiality 2. Some how Sandra Bullock can't say no to a sequel. First speed 2, now this. When will she learn

Fuck the rules!!!

Well I'm sitting here at the store doing paperwork and we now have wireless internet here so I can scan for porn and read email. Well here's an email I got tonight:

I usually go to Cousin''s Subs because I always receive exceptional food and great service. Unfortunatelly my visit today was quite dissapointing. While visiting today I was helped by Shanna who didn''t seem to know much about good customer service. I often use my "Varsity Gold" card when I visit your franchise, as I do with many other merchants around the valley. I have never had a problem attaining the discount with other companies until today with your store #9921. After ordering three sub sandwitches and two drinks I offered the "Varsity Gold" card to Shanna and much to my dissapointment was told that I didn''t offer it quick enough and I would have to pay full price. The card clearly states on the back that I am to get one free sub sandwitch with the order of two of equal or lesser value. The card doesn''t say anything about the timing of presenting the card. Am I to think that I have a small window of opportunity to attain my discount? Maybe "Varsity Gold" should be notified of your "new, at the counter" rules so they can correctly apply them to the back of the card. Needless to say I am not happy in the least with your store #9921 and the service that Shanna tries to give. I am a business owner and know the importance of good customer service. If you care about your customers as much as I do mine, you can clearly see this is a problem for a repeat customer as myself. I''m sure you aren''t willing to lose a customer over poor customer service. What I would like to happen as a result of the visit to your store #9921 today is the following...

1. Impliment a training course on the importance of good customer service for your emplyees so other potential customers of Cousin''s subs will not have to experience what I did today..

and

2. A full refund of my money to save my future business.




Ok, so here's the deal, she got her sandwiches, then realized that oh shit, I have this card, can I get a discount. Well if u read the fucking sign at the register, it says "PLEASE PRESENT COUPON BEFORE ORDERING"

I guess she can't read. Oh by the way, the service here at this store sucks ass, it only won the best service award for last year. Fucking bitch can't read and that's my fault. I guess we will start the training session right now, oh fuck, no we won't. If there is 1 thing I know, it's that we give great customer service here. Here's another email I got about our shitty service, especially the so called shitty service from Shanna, bitch it's Shannan. Learn how to read and to write. Ok, so here's the email:

About a month ago my co-workers and I discovered this franchise. We have tried others near our homes, but none have had the QUALITY and EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE that this franchise does. Shannon in particular is the best! She remembers our names and favorites. We are now hooked on Cousins and prefer it to Togos, Subway, etc. Please let Shannona and owners know how great they are!!


Once again people can't spell, but we will forgive this wonderful person. The service industry doesn't drive me crazy, just fucking people like this.

Enough store ranting, time to move on.

Can someone please tell former guitarist for Korn, Brian "Head" Welch that he is taking this religion thing to far now. He's dressing like Jesus now

Poor Martha

So martha stewart is out of jail and now is under house arrest. Yeah that would suck to be confined to your house for 6 months, only problem is that her house is on a 153 acre estate. That's pretty much 1 acre a month, she can pick a different 1 to tend to on a daily basis. What a hard knock life.

I'm out of it

To show u how out of it right now in today's world did you know that you can get your monroe pierced??? WTF is your monroe??? That's what I said. Well you know how Marilyn Monroe had a mole right above her lip, well they are now putting a piercing there. Holy shit, how stupid!!!!

BTW the michael jackson trial reinactments on E are great. I think the people actually look like who they are supposed to. I think I am addicted to it. Mindless tv, I love it

Morals

Hmmm do I have morals??? Well I have a moral delemma. See I do business with a hospital and they just accidently sent me an extra $324.

Could I use the cash? Who couldn't?

Will they ever realize that they paid me and not someone else? Not likely since this isn't a local hospital, it's a hospital that is in some big corporate system. That little of money doesn't mean to much to them

But then there is part of me that thinks I should do the honorable thing and give them there money back and hope that they remember this down the line.

I haven't cashed the check yet, so I'm not on the line yet with the cash, but might cash it soon.

Part of me wants to see if I get another check tomorrow and then decide. Ahh decisions decisions.

Any opinions would be helpful, ahhh who am I kidding, I don't give a fuck about what you think. If I did care about what you thought, do you think I would tell you about Price is Right all the time? BTW both people went over in the showcase showdown today, ha ha ha, idiots!!!

My little update

Well I'm pissed cause 1 of my friends can't go to vegas anymore cause he got shit canned from his job. I'm pissed cause I was going to impress him with my new vast knowledge of the spanish language. Oh well.

Speaking of my vast spanish knowledge, I've gotten hooked on this spanish soap opera, but I have never even seen it. My crew tells me about it and then I tell the other members about it and then we chat. This show is every soap opera you could think of rolled into 1. So if u have a chance, please watch Rubi on Univision at 7pm. The series finally is this monday, so tune in!!!!

Random Stupid Rant:

I like to think of myself as a member of the firdt video game generation. I've always known video games in my world. I grew up with atart, then nintendo, then genesis, then n64, then ps2, and with all that I also had PC and arcade games. My early PC games weren't the best since my folks thought buying me an apple 2gs would be a good idea, there bad. So needless to say, I like games, but I jump from game to game. My game last year was Star Wars Galaxies, which takes a ton of time to get involved in, now I will cancel my account in it, even though I have a jedi in game, don't ask. My new latest game is Playboy the mansion, it's a brainless game that is just like the Sims but involves porn. Good mix to me

I can't win

A new survey came out that said that a firefighter was considered the sexiest job. Can you believe sandwich maker wasn't in the top 10, but CEO was ranked #3, so since I am the CEO of the store, maybe chicks will flock to me anyways. Event planner was #6 and I do that too. So shit, I'm damn sexy!!!!

Ever notice how there are now only young hot college chicks that get up on stage for the Price is Right. Yeah Bob's a pimp and all, but they shaft the young girls with shit they don't need. For instance this girl just got up there and she had the chance to win a cabinet, popcorn machine, and cheesy kitchen table. WTF is a young college hottie going to do with a cabinet or a popcorn machine??? Get with the times Price is Right. Hot girls yes, bad prizes no!!!

Fuck You Paris

While yes I would love to get it on with Paris, I also realize I couldn't stand here and the things she has done and more importantly for the things she has started, so people then start doing it. Hey if Paris does it, so will I.

Ok, the difference is that she is super rich, super hot paris and your not.

Why do I mention this, well it seems like ever since Paris started taking her dog everywhere, everyone else is doing it too. I've noticed this every once in a while, but it really got to me recently when someone thought it would be ok to bring there dog into my store. WTF are they thinking??? A fucking dog in a restaurant???? You can take your dog to petsmart, the park, but not a restaurant. Hey I love my dogs, but come on, I even know better then to take my dog into a restaurant. But don't think this person is the only person, another person brought there dog into the store, but it was sealed in a purse and they were getting it to go, so I was ok with that.

DAMN U PARIS, just get naked and make out with chicks
