A whole lotta movies
Nov. 26th, 2007 10:02 amMy god, I watch a lot of movies. ( ::cut for sheer volume, not spoilers:: )
As long as I'm updating, I thought I should mention my run-in with one of the most annoying grocery store employees I'd ever seen. I'm fond of stopping into King Soopers on my way home from work in the morning, where I'm free of the burden of other shoppers, but frequently have to deal with palettes of food from the backroom and of course the shelf stockers, sometimes a loud raunchy lot who aren't accustomed to seeing the public while they work.
This one guy really took the cake though. In the brief amount of time I was inside the range of his voice, he must have mentioned the fact that he was working on his day off at least three times. That's okay, people can't get enough of hearing THAT. But then he uncovered a pile of boxes that incited a tirade that he tried to drag anyone who would listen into (names changed because I don't remember them exactly).
"Look at that. Lady asks for two cases, we order six. That's just great. Perfect. Whaddya think, Gary? Lady orders two cases, we get six. Doesn't that seem like the thing to do?
Silence. Gary had either taken a break or Christmas had come early in the form of blessed hearing loss. Not that this deterred the lout in the slightest. "Whaddya say, David?
"What's that?" David answered, though it seemed inconceivable that he could have missed the previous, very loud exchange (although I know what it's like working in different aisles and tuning everything out). The outrageous scenario was repeated anew, adding "We'll be trying to sell mincemeat until Easter." David's response was a noncommittal sort of grunt. I've rarely felt this sorry for a group of coworkers in my life, and will certainly think twice before stopping at THAT King Soopers for awhile.
Butchest thing I did this Thanksgiving: Fixed our leaking refrigerator.
Butchest thing Tery did this Thanksgiving: Fixed our partially flushing toilet.
Repairmen? We don' need no steeenkeng repairmen. : )
