Mindless Babbel From a Mindfull Artist....
The Crappy Job Dream...
Published on January 3, 2004 By Does it matter In Blogging
We have all had crappy jobs at some points, before landing a career in our profession. If you haven't I point my finger, and snobbly ask you to pull it. I have worked shitty jobs from a Laundromat to Taco Bell, but in return I have had some pretty awesome jobs.

The one job I never minded going to was when I was a cashier at a grocery store. Food Town was (hence I said was) a local chain to the Toledo area. After high school I moved to my grandparents (from Chicago) for the summer in order to work and help them out around the house. I met new friends and continued the job during holiday breaks from school. Upon my 3rd year at the chain I decided I was going to leave due to having a full work load at school and another job.

Walking into work, in a fairly good mood, I swipe my badge for another eight hour shift. Heading to my registar I was stopped by the manager asking to speak with me about something. Hesitating to go, I asked him what it was about. He refused to say because it was in front of customers. So I followed the large man, in pit-stained shirt, who I called my boss, back to his office. On the way be grabs another associate, who's hair resembled Davy Crocket's hat... otherwise known as a Femullet.

At his office he begins to tell me about this customer who e-mailed Spartain Corp. about a girl who fit my description. The lady said I told her and childern to: "Lick My Balls." Now, I know I appear to be a bitter person and a rather smart-ass in my articles, but I would never say such a thing to children or anyone of that sort. First of all it is anotomically (sp) incorrect, and second of all it would be more along the lines of "Suck my Tits" (joking). After I explained this all to him and asking for a copy of the e-mail, he refused both the explaination, e-mail, and my union rep. At the end of this fiasco, I was suspended until further notice w/o pay. Well Christ, there was 3 weeks left until the school year, and Food Town was some mad cash for a college students at $8.50/hr. I told him he should do what was right, and I would do the same.

So, I did... Ummmm.... I walked up front to where my till was and presented on the intercom the following:
"Attention Food Town Customers, have I got a deal for you. Here at Food Town the customer is always right... so in that case you can all lick my fucking balls, because I quit."

I then swipe my badge and left for the day.

Oh, your are wonder if anything happend to me? Mmmm... let's just say that I was never aloud back into any Food Town again. That's alright, because within a year Kroger took them all over.

Nice. I don't know that I'd recommend that particular course of action to others, but I most certainly would have wanted to be there when it happened.

Dan,
LOL, I know a few other employees that were absent that day wished the same thing. I know not a smart thing to do, but we are learn. I have to say it is an experience that I would not change, but in the end never do it again.

LMAO----I only wish I could have done something similar at the daycare I quit from---I just didn't want to be a bad influance on the children--Toni had done enough of that already, and she was the reason for my departure as well---I give you KUDOS for you (ahem) balls.
