TALES...MILLENNIAL HIGHLIGHT REEL

MILLENNIAL HIGHLIGHT REEL

Knowing that you might have only just recently heard about us OR there was something that you might have not had the time to read OR that there just might have been something that you'd just like to see again--I thought that this week before "Auld Lang Syne" plays for this current millennium that this would be a good juncture to do a quick review of what we thought were some of the highlights and most interesting people of the year just past:

For instance, I started the year in January with some thoughts and wisdom that I extended to those who might possibly aspire to become convienence store clerks as their future careers:

"..Therefore, please find enclosed a few things that any prospective convienence store clerk should know before he or she even decides to apply for that postion:

(1.) THOU SHALT EXPECT to have a lot of problems in talking to Hispanic customers even on a very rudimentary level if you don't know a lick of Espanol yourself.

(2.) THOU SHALT EXPECT about several cars to come ALL AT THE SAME TIME as you are right in the middle of doing a shift report or a task that requires an enormous amount of time and/or mental/physical effort - and, as a result, be forced to literally drop what you are doing to wait on those customers.

(3.) THOU SHALT NEVER even think about going on a bathroom or meal break any time you desire or even getting off on time from a night shift - because there is usually either another customer to wait on or something else that either you or your bosses see that just has to be done right then.

(4.) ThOU SHALT ALWAYS EXPECT customers to complain and be picky about anything under the sun - from not turning on gas pumps at their every whim to not cashing two-party checks or accepting $20 or $50 bills when you are very low on change.

(5.) THOU SHALT ALWAYS EXPECT people to either look at you like dumb sheep that have to be led by a shepherd and told that their gas is on SEVERAL times or like YOU are dumb and that they must tell you the exact type of gas the're getting - even when you could care less and that all you need to know is the pump number and how much they are getting.
