I need you all to pray to your evil and fake Pagan gods

I just got a job working at Toys R Us, I've had two days on the register and they want me on it tomorrow, the biggest shopping clusterfuck day of the year. I have to be there at 4AM and be there until 2PM. A ten hour nightmare shift from Satan's ass. Lets just hope some cunt doesn't flip out on me and hit me or something.

No wait, I'd like that, because then I get to leave and go talk to the police and file charges on the whore. Merry Christmas, bitch.

Atleast you don't have to be nice since people rarely expect or care about good ringers. Last christmas some giant black lady who had frizzed out hair and always wore yellow rain boots started reading books while at the register. I thought it was hilarous, you would see her sometimes in the back of isles reading some art book we had laying around. She quit a couple days after that but it made me smile.

I think i got an appilication for Toys R US a year ago and everyone had a shocked expression on their face as they handed me the form(U WANT JOB HUR?>LOL). Toys R US still gives me the creeps sometimes.

edit: god damnit is that poly shore in your avatar, airsoft guy?

No, he is not Pauly Shore, he is Larrifin, and he agrees.

Fuck, I gotta be up in three and a half hours and my swell guy of a brother is keeping me awake by acting like a swell guy. I may have to kill him in a very brutal and news friendly way.

Perhaps I'll recite a few chants on your behalf. Time and direction matter not at all to Sutekh.

Maybe.

Fluent in reversed Latin ? Most aren't. Even the self professed scholars, mostly. Excellent way to let off some steam, as has been said.

I hope you had fun. Oho.

Ah, I used to work in a convenience store, and the bitch manager was always having me work on Christmas and New Year, and every holidays.

That's what you get for working in retail.

Yeah, but I don't anymore, and now I'm on holiday from December 16th to January 4th. Paid.

Leave it to the decadent North Americans to know no better than celebrate all their holidays with hysterical shopping sprees fueled by loaned money they have no hopes of ever repaying.

Why not be like us decadent Czechs and simply ignore any and all holidays except Christmas (which runs from September to December) and Easter (when the men get drunk and whip their women's asses to hell and back in exchange for hand-painted eggs)?

The great thing about the decay of western society is that library (library being where I work) attendance decreases as everyone rushes into Toys'R'Us. Though fortunately, there's no Black Friday up here.

Incidentally, here's something stupid: There's eight different Black Fridays and every day of the week has been Black at one time or another (Wikipedia).

Hey, just got a new job too. Part-time. I'm now working at a ski station. As the ski-lift guy holding chairs for people and stuff.

Holidays are for pussies, I'll say that much.

Working retail can change you, in the beginning you have high morals and don't agree with most of your works practice then after awhile you turn into a golem and start going to the extreme evil. I had a life altering experience last weekend and I was like "wtf i'm i doing? this is something I owuld never do when I first started here."

I don't get it, what moral issues are there with working retail?

Redeye · Post by **Redeye** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 9:58 pm

I don't know if it is actually a moral thingy, but certainly there
are some work-ethic issues.

After a while you just learn how to slack off/etc.
You learn what corners you can cut, what things you can ignore,
and what things you can leave for other people to do.
The customers can also become an annoying distraction to
your idle daydreaming.
Fuck them.

I remember working at Starbucks long ago, and I guy I worked
with taught me what I think of as "Zen Corners". He took a piece
of paper and said "This corner is Point A, this corner is Point B"
then he ripped the paper in half- "see, now we're at Point B. we are DONE".
We boiled it down to 1. Make it all "look" good. 2. Make the drinks right.
3. Don't get anybody sick. 4. Don't get anybody in trouble.
5. refer to number 1.
That was pretty much it.
We only did more if ordered.

Its pretty much what redeye said. Cutting corners behind scenes that people don't really notice or appreciate. For example, should I build this customer a new desk or one that got returned with a lot of scratches? ya i built the returned one and told the customer that I didn't notice till I turned it over and that I could take some money of it for them. Forcing them to wheel and deal so we can get rid of it. God im so bad, i'm never going to do that again.

Kahgan · Post by **Kahgan** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 11:33 pm

ok...what kinds of jobs are you talking about?, cos I still don't get it

That actually looks to be more work than just giving them a new desk.
