00:00:16.559 -->
00:00:22.399This podcast does include adult situations and adult language from time to time.
00:00:22.960 -->
00:00:23.679I'm an angel.
00:00:23.760 -->
00:00:24.719I never fucking test.

00:00:36.960 -->
00:00:39.119But you know, that's because I'm a picky bitch.
00:00:40.159 -->
00:00:43.840I'm not, I'm not really picky, but I have to be in the mood for it.
00:00:44.240 -->
00:00:54.159And anybody who would see this setup would be laughing because it's like, why do you have a glass of flavored water filled with ice and then just brewed hot coffee?
00:00:54.479 -->
00:00:57.200Because I how you doing today?
00:00:57.359 -->
00:00:57.920I'm doing all right.

00:00:58.560How are you doing?
00:00:59.039 -->
00:01:04.000So thankful to Jesus and his disciples that I don't have to go to my other job today.
00:01:04.640 -->
00:01:08.000I ran out of Jesus by Thursday.
00:01:08.480 -->
00:01:11.120Not my Thursday, but like the actual Thursday.
00:01:11.280 -->
00:01:12.560So what day would that be for me?
00:01:12.719 -->
00:01:13.680My Tuesday.
00:01:14.000 -->
00:01:16.959I completely ran out of Jesus by my Tuesday.
00:01:17.680 -->
00:01:21.120I had no more Jesus, and the Holy Spirit did not come see me.
00:01:21.680 -->
00:01:31.519And uh I have had more interactions with the local police department because everybody else makes me call them.
00:01:31.840 -->
00:01:38.560That I think I'm having a amentable bro fair with them, like go get them robbers, bro.
00:01:39.200 -->
00:01:40.159Um, yeah.
00:01:40.480 -->
00:01:55.040And what's super funny is the one guy, uh the one officer I looked at him and I said, if I was 28 years old, I would give you a hug, and that way I could defend myself from your wife kicking my ass, you know, because he's a young, he's a young buck.
00:01:55.120 -->
00:01:59.120And but he's not wearing watering now, and I'm just like, I could hug you, but I'm not gonna.
00:01:59.200 -->
00:02:07.120So I like fist bump because I don't find it, I don't want to be on their body camera that this this older lady is so thankful that you caught the robbers.
00:02:08.479 -->
00:02:11.039So yep, I ran out of Jesus on a Tuesday.
00:02:11.199 -->
00:02:13.199Normally I make it to my Thursday.
00:02:13.360 -->
00:02:13.759Yeah.
00:02:14.000 -->
00:02:20.159Normally I make it to my Thursday, and then I get a little Holy Spirit in the on the morning of my Friday.
00:02:20.400 -->
00:02:21.599Did not happen this week.
00:02:21.840 -->
00:02:22.400How about you?
00:02:22.479 -->
00:02:24.000How'd your Jesus hold out?
00:02:24.240 -->
00:02:26.240Uh mine's usually good.
00:02:26.560 -->
00:02:26.960Yeah?
00:02:27.199 -->
00:02:27.520Yeah.
00:02:27.759 -->
00:02:31.759There was one day we're putting stuff out on the floor.
00:02:32.000 -->
00:02:32.319Yeah.
00:02:32.560 -->
00:02:36.719And this Asian lady came over and was digging through bins.
00:02:36.879 -->
00:02:46.800Although this wasn't my bin, but uh she took out a a puzzle and started to open the box, and I was thinking, bitch, I'm gonna fucking stab you.
00:02:47.120 -->
00:02:49.919Yeah, yeah, you know, you kind of have to go, please don't do that.
00:02:50.159 -->
00:02:50.479Yeah.
00:02:50.800 -->
00:03:00.560There was uh you know, I feel really bad because this younger generation that's coming up, they look much older than they are.
00:03:00.879 -->
00:03:02.960Yeah, they're aging like milk.
00:03:03.280 -->
00:03:06.159Yeah, they're yeah, they're spoiled after seven days.
00:03:07.120 -->
00:03:09.759But um, you know, and I feel bad, so I don't want to point that out.
00:03:10.000 -->
00:03:18.319But um I feel horrible in a way because somebody just said somebody put out some kind of a skateboard thing.
00:03:18.560 -->
00:03:23.919It's an adjustable, it's got two parts to it, and it's like a waveboard skateboard thing or whatever.
00:03:24.080 -->
00:03:30.879And this dude who was too old to be on a skateboard got on a skateboard, and I'm like, please don't do that in my store.
00:03:31.039 -->
00:03:33.120That's not safe, that's dangerous.
00:03:33.360 -->
00:03:34.639And I shit you not.
00:03:34.800 -->
00:03:37.280His mom goes, I'm sorry about that.
00:03:37.520 -->
00:03:43.439Smacks him on the back of the head and says to him, How many times have I told you you're almost an adult now?
00:03:43.520 -->
00:03:46.000You need to think before you do these kinds of things.
00:03:46.159 -->
00:03:47.039You could have got hurt.
00:03:47.120 -->
00:03:48.080This is concrete.
00:03:48.319 -->
00:03:53.039When I tell you he looked like he was approaching 40, I actually mean that.
00:03:53.360 -->
00:03:55.120Wow, it's uh yeah.
00:03:55.199 -->
00:04:00.400And his his mom looked well, I mean, she definitely looked older than me, but she wasn't.
00:04:00.560 -->
00:04:01.439You know what I'm saying?
00:04:01.919 -->
00:04:09.599And I was just like, so so my brain, of course, goes, okay, is she just saying that to her boyfriend or husband to be kind of a smart ass?
00:04:09.759 -->
00:04:11.520Or is this genuinely her kid?
00:04:11.599 -->
00:04:18.720And I feel bad if he has like disabilities and that's why, and you know, I run through the gamut and I'm like, thank you, ma'am.
00:04:18.959 -->
00:04:21.839And he no shit, the guy's just like, sorry.
00:04:22.160 -->
00:04:30.800I'm just like, got fucking 30-year-olds at work around me, they're like, my bag's broken, I gotta go to the emergency care facility.
00:04:31.120 -->
00:04:33.360Like, what the fuck is going on?
00:04:33.600 -->
00:04:40.720I did have one encounter, but one thing that I saw that I was like, oh, that's awesome.
00:04:40.959 -->
00:04:49.519There was this lady came in, she had like a baby and a stroller, uh-huh, and then like a five or six son.
00:04:49.759 -->
00:04:50.160Yeah.
00:04:50.399 -->
00:04:58.480Um, and she went over to the toy section, she got some dresses, and then went over to the toy section with her kids.
00:04:58.720 -->
00:05:03.279And her son was playing in the toy aisle and destroyed it.
00:05:03.680 -->
00:05:08.560But she's standing there putting on dresses over her clothes to try them on.
00:05:08.879 -->
00:05:19.279Anyway, when she gets done doing that, because I walked by, saw them doing this, and like then I walked by again as she was leaving, and she had cleaned the aisle.
00:05:19.519 -->
00:05:19.839Yeah.
00:05:20.079 -->
00:05:20.959She had put everything back.
00:05:21.040 -->
00:05:22.560I was like, oh my god, that's amazing.
00:05:22.720 -->
00:05:23.759Please come back.
00:05:24.160 -->
00:05:27.120So, you know, was she a uh Hispanic lady?
00:05:27.360 -->
00:05:28.480No, she was white.
00:05:28.720 -->
00:05:29.279Wow.
00:05:29.600 -->
00:05:49.040So on Saturday afternoon, we had a mixed Hispanic family come in, which is always great because they're always willing to teach me more of the language, you know, because I'm like, look, I I took Espinol in high school, but I also smoke a lot of pot, so I don't I can understand a lot.
00:05:49.199 -->
00:05:55.759Like sometimes I'll be walking by them and they'll be talking and I'll kind of I'll catch myself giggling and they're like, Do you understand that?
00:05:55.839 -->
00:05:56.560I'm like, kind of.
00:05:56.639 -->
00:05:57.680Were you saying something like this?
00:05:57.759 -->
00:05:58.480And they're like, Yeah.
00:05:58.639 -->
00:06:28.959I was like, I'm not trying to eavesdrop, I promise you, it's just I know how you feel about people who won't get the fuck out of the way when you're trying to look at something, or like there were this particular instance, they were talking about this uh older, not their race lady, um, who literally had a handbasket and a shopping cart, and she had items in both, and she was keeping like she was like using it as blockers to keep people out of her, the aisle she was looking at.
00:06:29.439 -->
00:06:42.399And when and I actually observed this because I was actually cleaning up a toy aisle, and I actually observed where this lady uh had seen this particular couple come into the aisle next to her and she raced around like, oh, I haven't been there yet.
00:06:42.480 -->
00:06:43.519I gotta look first.
00:06:43.680 -->
00:06:45.839Yeah, and so she was being pushy.
00:06:46.079 -->
00:06:52.560I mean, me, I picked, I literally picked up the basket and put it on my trolley, and she's like, Oh, that's mine.
00:06:52.639 -->
00:06:57.360I'm like, Oh, well, you have a cart, so why don't we just put this all in the cart then?
00:06:57.439 -->
00:07:00.079Or do you want to put what's in the cart in the basket, one way or the other?
00:07:00.160 -->
00:07:00.720You don't need both.
00:07:00.800 -->
00:07:02.160We have a lot of shoppers who need that.
00:07:02.319 -->
00:07:02.879Yeah.
00:07:03.199 -->
00:07:06.879But so Saturday, it's like seven.
00:07:07.040 -->
00:07:09.839Now you know, because we off mic we talked about this.
00:07:09.920 -->
00:07:20.560Um, the individual I'm having to work with is a low productive, low production, low productive, not very productive member of the team.
00:07:20.720 -->
00:07:23.439They have excuses right now, so we're just gonna accept the excuses.
00:07:23.519 -->
00:07:24.480They are where they are, right?
00:07:25.120 -->
00:07:28.720So I'm cleaning, I've been cleaning for hours at this point.
00:07:28.879 -->
00:07:54.319Okay, and I come around the corner to go back to do the fifth cleaning on the toy aisle, and there is a disaster on the floor, and I'm like, oh, and I literally have this thing that I do out loud where I go, oh, and then I'm gonna go up front because I do not see a parent attending these children, and I'm gonna have somebody call for a parent's attention because now we actually have a physical notice up now.
00:07:55.120 -->
00:08:07.759And we're like, as a management team, the the management team, we're so tired of parents like wanting a break from their kids for an hour or two, they're literally making their children get away from them in the store, and that's not how this works.
00:08:08.319 -->
00:08:12.959Because at that point, you've literally abandoned your child when you're telling your child, get away from me.
00:08:13.120 -->
00:08:14.560I don't want you near me.
00:08:14.720 -->
00:08:16.079Yeah, you're abandoning your child.
00:08:16.160 -->
00:08:22.240So, anyways, I get about halfway to the front register to go tell somebody, hey, I need a parental call, and I hear it.
00:08:22.399 -->
00:08:27.360I deals me, other yelling, including the word fuck.
00:08:27.439 -->
00:08:31.120And I turn back around thinking, shit, somebody's stealing somebody's kid, right?
00:08:31.360 -->
00:08:32.240Turn back around.
00:08:32.320 -->
00:08:40.799And this Hispanic, fixed Hispanic mom is making her two children clean up the mess, and she's literally saying to them, What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:08:41.039 -->
00:08:42.639We this isn't your home.
00:08:42.879 -->
00:08:46.480Yeah, you treat it like we're visitors, you treat it with respect, clean it up now.
00:08:46.639 -->
00:08:52.399Slapped them both on the back of the head, which is something I'm seeing more common now is a lot of head slapping going on.
00:08:52.639 -->
00:08:55.600Do people not realize you can actually cause brain damage doing that?
00:08:55.919 -->
00:08:57.360Breathing can cause brain damage.
00:08:57.440 -->
00:08:58.399So slap them.
00:08:58.879 -->
00:09:01.919Don't deprive them a breath, slap them hard, anyways.
00:09:02.159 -->
00:09:04.720Yeah, uh, so yeah, my Jesus ran out.
00:09:04.799 -->
00:09:18.240It did get refilled a little bit yesterday because I I it it look, I am not highly religious, I am not uh an atheist, I'm just like have my own viewpoints and I leave it at that.
00:09:18.399 -->
00:09:26.159But my favorite thing to make people leave me the fuck alone when I'm doing projects, when they want to sit there and talk, because oh, you've got pretty eyes there.
00:09:26.399 -->
00:09:29.519Oh, hey girl, I love your boobies, blah, whatever.
00:09:29.679 -->
00:09:32.639I don't care what your excuse is, but that's my joke.
00:09:32.799 -->
00:09:34.240I ran out of Jesus.
00:09:34.559 -->
00:09:36.639So I have this lady.
00:09:36.799 -->
00:09:43.440I'm doing my project I'm supposed to be doing, minding my business, and I'm sitting there going, six more hours.
00:09:43.600 -->
00:09:46.960Six doing the chat in my head, six more hours, six more hours.
00:09:47.120 -->
00:09:48.639Hey girl, how are you doing?
00:09:48.799 -->
00:09:49.519I'm fine, man.
00:09:49.759 -->
00:09:50.080How are you?
00:09:50.240 -->
00:09:51.039Ma'am, how are you?
00:09:51.200 -->
00:09:52.320Oh, I'm good, honey.
00:09:52.399 -->
00:09:52.720I'm good.
00:09:52.879 -->
00:09:55.279Oh, oh girl, I didn't know she was your eyes so pretty.
00:09:55.360 -->
00:09:56.240Well, thank you so very much.
00:09:56.399 -->
00:09:57.600I get them from my mother.
00:09:57.679 -->
00:09:58.639No, she's blind.
00:09:58.799 -->
00:10:00.320They didn't get that check, but whatever.
00:10:00.480 -->
00:10:02.399And they're like, So, how are you doing, honey?
00:10:02.480 -->
00:10:03.600You look a little stressed today.
00:10:03.759 -->
00:10:05.120You got that sweat going on.
00:10:05.279 -->
00:10:08.159She goes, but you got this nice glow, and brilliant ass, what's going on?
00:10:08.240 -->
00:10:16.480I'm like, I'm I'm working, and this is what happens when you work hard doing a you know, three-quarters of my job is actually physical.
00:10:16.960 -->
00:10:18.960Like, I got some more guns building up.
00:10:19.039 -->
00:10:20.720Look at all these bruises everywhere.
00:10:20.960 -->
00:10:24.080You yeah, you should see, like, ladies and gentlemen, you should see it under the shirt.
00:10:24.159 -->
00:10:26.480I've got bruises everywhere.
00:10:26.799 -->
00:10:42.480And and I said to her, I was just like, Well, you know, I ran out of Jesus like three days ago, and I was hoping that the Holy Spirit would come see me yesterday, because yesterday, I was like, Saturdays are usually my Fridays, but not this week.
00:10:42.639 -->
00:10:53.519This week, today's my Friday, and uh she was she was so sweet, and she goes, you know, she goes, praise for being honest that you ran out of Jesus.
00:10:53.679 -->
00:10:55.600She goes, I appreciate that warning.
00:10:55.759 -->
00:10:58.240I said, I think the Holy Spirit just visited me.
00:10:58.480 -->
00:11:04.799I thought we were gonna have a church revival in the store because she didn't get that.
00:11:05.120 -->
00:11:10.080I was trying to make the point that no matter how you phrase it, we all run out of patience.
00:11:10.240 -->
00:11:14.799And sometimes we are struggling to get the patience back.
00:11:14.960 -->
00:11:20.159Yeah, but she was really sweet about it because my newest cashier, she gives a pep talk.
00:11:20.240 -->
00:11:24.720My newest cashier comes over, she goes, Hey, so cute, she's down across the aisle for me.
00:11:24.879 -->
00:11:28.159She's like, Hey, I'm like, she's like, How you doing?
00:11:28.320 -->
00:11:30.960I was just like, What do you like?
00:11:31.200 -->
00:11:35.919So I did this thing and it was an accident, and you remember the community, and she didn't say what it was.
00:11:36.639 -->
00:11:39.840And I'm like, Oh, because yeah, I did that thing again today.
00:11:39.919 -->
00:11:40.559I'm like, okay.
00:11:40.720 -->
00:11:41.759I was like, it's an accident.
00:11:41.840 -->
00:11:44.240No, it was like it's easy to do when you get in a hurry.
00:11:44.480 -->
00:11:48.159Because my one cashier, and she is a trooper, she's my newest cashier.
00:11:48.320 -->
00:11:53.360This, this, this cashier did almost four thousand dollars in sales by herself.
00:11:53.519 -->
00:11:55.679Yeah, she did really good, she did fantastic.
00:11:55.840 -->
00:11:56.879So mistakes are gonna happen.
00:11:57.039 -->
00:12:01.200She really follows into that 2% rule that you expect to see error-wise.
00:12:02.080 -->
00:12:07.440And the funny thing about it is so when you're in retail, they expect a two to three percent error.
00:12:07.679 -->
00:12:11.440Fast food is like three to four percent because it's a rushed environment.
00:12:11.679 -->
00:12:16.320Retail is two to three percent error, one one direction or other, either you're gonna be over or under.
00:12:16.480 -->
00:12:22.080And she's actually stayed within like 0.12% error rate at the end of the day, because I fixed the problem.
00:12:22.159 -->
00:12:23.679The problem was a very fixable problem.
00:12:23.840 -->
00:12:24.559No big deal.
00:12:24.720 -->
00:12:39.039Yeah, so but this lady who's been trying to revive my Jesus, giving me some Holy Spirit, says to her, She goes, Once long ago, before you were ever even thought of in your grandparents' eyes, and I'm like, Yeah, this lady is kind of old, but you know, my cashmere is very young.
00:12:39.279 -->
00:12:47.519She said, I worked for this company and I had up in Seattle, and I had somebody come in, and it shows you the difference of the story.
00:12:47.600 -->
00:12:49.679Will show you the difference in business between now and then.
00:12:49.919 -->
00:12:57.200She goes, he came in and he says, I need, I need 18 of these sweaters.
00:12:57.279 -->
00:12:58.799They're cashmere sweaters.
00:12:58.960 -->
00:13:02.639So back in the day, they were like$200 a piece, yeah.
00:13:02.720 -->
00:13:07.519You know, which is like now like$600 or something, maybe$700, whatever.
00:13:07.759 -->
00:13:10.720And he said, Here's my card, here's my list.
00:13:10.879 -->
00:13:15.759I expect it to be all gift wrapped and ready to go tomorrow by three.
00:13:15.919 -->
00:13:30.399She said, Okay, she set about, she picked them, she like literally did every single thing and gets it all together, rings his total up, he picks his package up the next day, he comes back the day after that and he looks her and he goes, I'm gonna tell you something.
00:13:30.480 -->
00:13:31.120She goes, What's that?
00:13:31.200 -->
00:13:32.799And she goes, he goes, You're cute.
00:13:32.960 -->
00:13:35.200And she goes, Oh, well, thank you.
00:13:35.360 -->
00:13:37.360You're pretty good looking for an older guy yourself.
00:13:37.440 -->
00:13:40.159And he goes, You're not$52,000 cute, though.
00:13:40.240 -->
00:13:41.200And she goes, What?
00:13:41.360 -->
00:13:43.519And he goes, You put an extra zero on this.
00:13:43.600 -->
00:13:45.039I do need you to correct this.
00:13:45.519 -->
00:13:46.960She'd receive commission.
00:13:47.120 -->
00:13:52.080Now, this is how it used to be retail sales, you would have a base plus commission.
00:13:53.039 -->
00:14:01.039And so her commission, the store she was working at, was uh 15%, which is very massive even back in that day.
00:14:01.840 -->
00:14:12.159But 15% on$52,000, she didn't think anything about it because they were just like, she just she just like thought she got a bonus or something.
00:14:12.240 -->
00:14:15.279She was telling me, she goes, She goes, I literally thought I got a bonus.
00:14:15.440 -->
00:14:21.120She goes, because it was uh$7,700 bonus to be coming on my check.
00:14:21.200 -->
00:14:23.600It was written on the log and she goes, and the red shirt was great.
00:14:23.679 -->
00:14:25.519It was it was$750.
00:14:26.080 -->
00:14:30.399But uh so so she looks at my cashier and she goes, sweetheart, we all make mistakes.
00:14:30.480 -->
00:14:34.080She goes, it's how you handle it with integrity that makes all the difference.
00:14:34.240 -->
00:14:43.840Yeah, and and I and I agree because it literally had just happened, and I was just like, that's the best thing about my newest cashier, is she does the same thing I do.
00:14:44.000 -->
00:14:46.320If she makes a mistake, she owns it immediately.
00:14:46.480 -->
00:14:49.600Like I did it, totally me, you know.
00:14:49.919 -->
00:14:52.399So I did get a little revival of Jesus, but not enough.
00:14:52.559 -->
00:14:54.159So it's it was it was a long week.
00:14:54.320 -->
00:14:59.519I think I walked an average, which a lot of people are gonna be like, Oh, that's not a big deal.
00:14:59.679 -->
00:15:11.039Listen, Linda, it is a big deal for somebody who spent an average walking 3,500 to 4,500 steps a day to now walking 10,000 plus.
00:15:11.200 -->
00:15:30.399Yeah, it is it is huge, it is a big difference because I know that it is 75 steps from this door to that door, and it's like literally, if I go from one wall of the company's building to the other, I think it's a hundred and fifty five or something like that.
00:15:30.559 -->
00:15:38.480So don't, and it's and it's not because I'm tiptoeing, it's because I have short legs, I have short stride.
00:15:39.200 -->
00:15:41.759So, and I know that I'm doing these steps.
00:15:41.840 -->
00:15:50.320I need to get a new pedometer or whatever, but I know I'm doing them because the person I worked with had their step counter going this week.
00:15:50.879 -->
00:15:54.559And uh she goes, This is really weird.
00:15:54.879 -->
00:15:55.840Like, what's up?
00:15:56.000 -->
00:15:57.919I've been up since eight o'clock this morning.
00:15:58.000 -->
00:16:00.960Yeah, and it's saying I only did 1800 steps.
00:16:01.120 -->
00:16:02.879I'm like, oh, okay.
00:16:03.120 -->
00:16:04.159That doesn't seem right.
00:16:04.320 -->
00:16:09.200She's like, I know you're like running circles around me and everything, but this doesn't seem right.
00:16:09.360 -->
00:16:10.960So of course it was a ha ha.
00:16:11.120 -->
00:16:16.080That's what she'd done on her two days off was 1800 steps.
00:16:16.159 -->
00:16:19.200She'd forgotten to reset it, but thankfully she's got a cloud save.
00:16:19.279 -->
00:16:22.879So when she pulled it down, she was actually at 2800 steps.
00:16:23.039 -->
00:16:23.440Yeah.
00:16:23.679 -->
00:16:28.559And uh, and she's just like, oh my god, you're I said, Yeah, I need to get a step counter going or whatever.
00:16:28.720 -->
00:16:31.519She's like, she's like, you've literally done four times.
00:16:31.600 -->
00:16:36.559It's the only admittance, one of the only two admittances she gave me this weekend that I'd literally been working hard.
00:16:36.799 -->
00:16:39.200And I'm like, Yep, I know.
00:16:39.759 -->
00:16:43.279Everybody's off the chain with I don't want to work anymore.
00:16:43.519 -->
00:16:49.279We had people quit, and then they were offended that we didn't say, Oh, please don't quit, darling.
00:16:49.759 -->
00:16:51.519It's like, bye.
00:16:52.080 -->
00:16:54.080You have been the problem for a while now.
00:16:54.399 -->
00:16:55.600Thank you for leaving.
00:16:56.000 -->
00:16:57.600Thank you for not participating.
00:16:57.679 -->
00:16:58.639Get the fuck out.
00:16:58.879 -->
00:17:04.000And that's actually it actually led to it's thank you, don't come again.
00:17:04.799 -->
00:17:06.480Thank you, never come again.
00:17:07.039 -->
00:17:08.240Don't breed either.
00:17:08.400 -->
00:17:10.640Uh, anyways, my bird.
00:17:11.440 -->
00:17:21.440It's something that we've been taught, like we'd been trying to pin, I've been trying to pinpoint the problem for a while because there's a duality in problems that we've been having at the shop.
00:17:21.599 -->
00:17:21.759Okay.
00:17:21.920 -->
00:17:27.680And that, and it's not, and it's it's you've got one member of the management team that's lazy.
00:17:27.920 -->
00:17:35.920So where you have this trickle-down effect in management, you also have this trickle up effect, you also have this puddling of laziness.
00:17:36.079 -->
00:17:36.400Yeah.
00:17:36.640 -->
00:17:39.359And it really did start with culture.
00:17:39.920 -->
00:17:40.400Right.
00:17:40.559 -->
00:17:46.880Well, it's just like you've got this one particular manager who does like they have a lot of health problems.
00:17:46.960 -->
00:17:48.720So I give them a lot of grace on that.
00:17:48.799 -->
00:17:52.799But it's just like, you cannot get better if you don't try.
00:17:52.960 -->
00:17:53.359Yeah.
00:17:53.519 -->
00:17:55.440It's like, am I a size zero?
00:17:55.599 -->
00:17:56.319Fuck no.
00:17:56.559 -->
00:17:58.160Would I ever want to be a size zero?
00:17:58.319 -->
00:17:58.880Fuck no.
00:17:58.960 -->
00:18:05.680I see them girls come in and they're like, Oh, I'd really love to have a cheeseburger, but I just throw it up.
00:18:05.920 -->
00:18:09.039Like, they're like, I can't even do desserts because it's too much sugar.
00:18:09.200 -->
00:18:11.119I have seen size zero diabetics.
00:18:11.359 -->
00:18:11.680Yeah.
00:18:11.920 -->
00:18:14.400Just because you're skinny doesn't mean that you don't have diabetes.
00:18:14.559 -->
00:18:15.039I'm cold.
00:18:15.119 -->
00:18:15.519I'm hot.
00:18:15.599 -->
00:18:16.240I'm too cold.
00:18:16.319 -->
00:18:17.200I'm too hot.
00:18:17.519 -->
00:18:22.799I literally watched one grab onto her partner because we had a strong wind come through the building.
00:18:22.960 -->
00:18:32.240But, anyways, so apparently this one manager got into this lazy kick because they noticed the store manager wasn't doing blah blah blah.
00:18:32.319 -->
00:18:42.559And it's like it's really interesting because it's like this particular individual does not like the store manager, but they've got a fake game that's strong.
00:18:42.799 -->
00:18:45.680Their fake game is so strong.
00:18:46.000 -->
00:19:00.960I know that this gal has reported our store manager at least three times since I've been there for non-participation of work, for uh non-participation of management and non-participation of leadership.
00:19:01.119 -->
00:19:02.160So, what does that mean?
00:19:02.319 -->
00:19:10.559It basically means that bitch sitting around, she ain't doing nothing, she's nothing, she's not teaching us anything new, and she's throwing everything at us and not helping.
00:19:10.720 -->
00:19:23.680And I can tell when these reports are done, besides the fact of her telling me that, oh, I called redacted and let her know that this bitch is like only at 82% sales score capacity.
00:19:23.839 -->
00:19:25.839And it's like, first of all, you're being petty.
00:19:26.000 -->
00:19:28.960Yeah, you're being super petty, and I don't do petty pennies.
00:19:29.119 -->
00:19:32.000I don't, I can't stand it because it makes me want to be a petty penny.
00:19:32.160 -->
00:19:34.000Oh, you want to play this game, do you?
00:19:34.160 -->
00:19:36.480Well, like, listen, bitch.
00:19:36.720 -->
00:19:41.839Let me illuminate you on how it's I have I have an older sibling who was tough on me.
00:19:42.160 -->
00:19:45.279Let me tell you what, my pity game can be strong.
00:19:45.599 -->
00:19:47.279Um yeah.
00:19:47.759 -->
00:19:50.480I don't she's just she's just a petty penny.
00:19:50.559 -->
00:19:52.160That's the best way I can say it.
00:19:52.480 -->
00:19:53.920She's just so petty.
00:19:54.319 -->
00:19:57.839I and you know, and life just isn't life isn't fair to any of us.
00:19:58.000 -->
00:19:58.319Yeah.
00:19:58.559 -->
00:20:04.880If if life was fair, uh uh one of my parents wouldn't be going through the health issues they are.
00:20:05.039 -->
00:20:08.000My stepparent wouldn't be having to deal with what they are.
00:20:08.240 -->
00:20:15.599I would uh, you know, my I would have siblings that felt at all times good in health physically and mentally.
00:20:15.680 -->
00:20:18.240I I would feel good in health physically and mentally.
00:20:18.400 -->
00:20:27.359You know, I wouldn't be no size zero, but uh, you know, I'd be like a size 10 because I think that's like 10, 12 is like a really good curvaceous size to be when you're short.
00:20:27.599 -->
00:20:27.920Okay.
00:20:28.240 -->
00:20:30.799Uh life's not fair to any of us.
00:20:30.880 -->
00:20:33.759It's how you let it go and and do things to better yourself.
00:20:33.920 -->
00:20:39.279Like, like we all know, they all know from listening to me chatter and you chatter.
00:20:39.599 -->
00:20:42.400Me chatter, egg to chatter, right?
00:20:42.640 -->
00:20:56.240They're they're used to it because you didn't want to give up Losagnians, spaghetti, and meatballs, and all this delicious carb heavy shit that turns into sugars, but you had to for your better health, you had to really change your your game about it.
00:20:56.400 -->
00:21:03.920Yeah, because we all we all let's not lie, we we all know how delicious a uh Carl's Jr.
00:21:04.240 -->
00:21:10.240double bacon cheeseburger is, yeah, which I haven't had for a very long time either.
00:21:10.400 -->
00:21:18.799It's like I thought about stopping and getting a burger the other day, and I told my partner, I was like, you know, I thought about stopping and getting a burger coming home.
00:21:18.960 -->
00:21:20.079Why didn't you?
00:21:20.559 -->
00:21:24.720First of all, just to get a hamburger is a is a minimum of$12.
00:21:25.200 -->
00:21:25.440Yeah.
00:21:25.680 -->
00:21:27.279To get a decent hamburger.
00:21:27.519 -->
00:21:29.839Now, Jack in the Box, I'll promote them all day.
00:21:29.920 -->
00:21:34.559I I loved working for them except for the one manager who was the manager who was stealing.
00:21:34.640 -->
00:21:38.960But, anyways, uh their slider burgers are is is pretty good.
00:21:39.279 -->
00:21:42.640They're delicious, salty as fuck, but delicious, right?
00:21:43.200 -->
00:21:46.160So the partner says, Why didn't you stop yourself burger?
00:21:46.240 -->
00:21:50.400I said, Well, because I didn't want to get myself a burger knowing this was my budget.
00:21:50.559 -->
00:21:56.799Because I'm trying to do really good with my budget since it's full time work, but I'm not working 40 hours a week.
00:21:56.960 -->
00:21:57.279Yeah.
00:21:57.519 -->
00:21:58.079Thank god.
00:21:58.480 -->
00:22:05.200Because I'd be because Should the because I have the like the last three weeks, I've essentially worked almost 40 hours a week.
00:22:05.279 -->
00:22:05.599Yeah.
00:22:05.759 -->
00:22:08.480And it's I don't have a strong enough mental health.
00:22:08.640 -->
00:22:14.400My mental health is not strong enough yet to deal with the public and the personalities that much.
00:22:14.720 -->
00:22:26.960Like if I could do everything that I've been doing in the last week, uh, but just notch it back by 25% on the physicality, because my back, like it's not even my back, it's like the back side of my hip.
00:22:27.119 -->
00:22:32.240Like, you know, when you grow muscles, you feel swole, and then sometimes it pinches stuff if you're already overweight.
00:22:32.319 -->
00:22:33.200Do you know what I mean?
00:22:33.519 -->
00:22:38.640Like on the back side of my the socket for my hip joint is what's sore.
00:22:38.720 -->
00:22:40.480And sometimes it's downright painful.
00:22:40.559 -->
00:22:44.079And what I've been told is like it's really close to sciatic nerve.
00:22:44.240 -->
00:22:46.000So I'm probably out of alignment.
00:22:46.079 -->
00:22:56.240I probably need a chiropractor, but I don't have like all this extra money to go get an evaluation done by finding a new chiropractor and then the$60 of treatment, and I just don't.
00:22:56.400 -->
00:23:02.079It's one of those things where it's like when your knee hurts and it's like you know, you're like, oh, if it if it would just pop, it would feel so much better.
00:23:02.160 -->
00:23:03.759Yeah, that's what it feels like.
00:23:03.920 -->
00:23:05.039Only it's painful.
00:23:05.119 -->
00:23:13.599Yeah, so if I could do 25% less of a physicality, I'd be okay with working 40 hours a week, but I can't because I have to do somebody else's physicality.
00:23:13.680 -->
00:23:16.160And all these people have been like, Oh, why are you sweating today, honey?
00:23:16.240 -->
00:23:18.000It's called work, it's called a G O B.
00:23:18.480 -->
00:23:22.640I had an employee say to me, she goes, Oh, you're sweating.
00:23:22.880 -->
00:23:27.039And I said, Yeah, redacted, it's it's called I'm working.
00:23:27.200 -->
00:23:28.880Why are you working that hard?
00:23:29.039 -->
00:23:30.880They don't pull us enough money.
00:23:31.200 -->
00:23:31.839Yep.
00:23:33.920 -->
00:23:34.559I don't know.
00:23:34.880 -->
00:23:35.680Things are about to go.
00:23:37.119 -->
00:23:42.240Somebody came into work apparently and had an attitude problem because my back hurts.
00:23:42.400 -->
00:23:47.759I've got to go to the emergency room because I think my chiropractor fucked me up.
00:23:48.240 -->
00:23:52.559You went to the chiropractor six days ago, bro.
00:23:52.799 -->
00:23:55.519How are you just now figuring it fucked you up?
00:23:55.839 -->
00:23:59.920My manager also says, Oh, we've also got a call out from redactant.
00:24:00.000 -->
00:24:00.640Oh, yeah?
00:24:00.880 -->
00:24:01.759That's weird.
00:24:02.000 -->
00:24:04.960Yeah, apparently he's shitting everywhere and has to clean up the shit.
00:24:05.039 -->
00:24:08.319And as he's cleaning up the shit, it's making him sick and he's shitting more.
00:24:08.559 -->
00:24:09.759I'm like, what?
00:24:10.079 -->
00:24:13.680Apparently he's had ongoing diarrhea for like two days.
00:24:13.839 -->
00:24:16.720I'm like, oh, well, he's some of that lettuce.
00:24:16.880 -->
00:24:18.960He ate some of that nasty lettuce, I guess.
00:24:19.279 -->
00:24:20.079I don't know.
00:24:20.319 -->
00:24:33.599And then we had another person call out that I actually really needed to work because I was just like, if I've got this individual, I can make these last seven hours of my work week, it'll be fine.
00:24:34.000 -->
00:24:34.799It'll be fine.
00:24:34.960 -->
00:24:35.759It'll be fine.
00:24:36.000 -->
00:24:40.079He couldn't come in because he was having diarrhea everywhere.
00:24:40.720 -->
00:24:42.799Well, I I guess he had two excuses.
00:24:42.960 -->
00:24:44.079I got the diarrhea.
00:24:44.160 -->
00:24:45.599Oh, wait, no, that's not diarrhea.
00:24:45.680 -->
00:24:46.160I'm throwing up.
00:24:46.240 -->
00:24:47.680So I don't know what she was.
00:24:47.759 -->
00:24:51.759Uh if you don't know what it's coming out of, I don't know what's wrong with you.
00:24:52.079 -->
00:24:53.839Got the map the ass disease.
00:24:54.000 -->
00:24:54.799I'm telling you.
00:24:54.960 -->
00:25:09.440But on the bright side, you know, like I wish everybody well, even the employee who just quit with the th of my note, would not give it to the person they were supposed to, because that's one of the things is you're supposed to give it to your store manager if they're there.
00:25:09.599 -->
00:25:09.920Yeah.
00:25:10.480 -->
00:25:13.920I am not in any way, shape, or form a store manager.
00:25:14.160 -->
00:25:21.039I'm an assistant store manager, which means I can help you with your problems, but I have to work twice as hard as the regular employee there.
00:25:21.200 -->
00:25:23.039Don't ask me to produce anything either.
00:25:23.200 -->
00:25:43.680I don't I don't know how people do that because I get instant angry when I touch anything sticky or dirty because we have so many people come in that want to carry around the somebody spilled ice cream on the floor and smeared it into the floor and then use clothes to try to cover it up.
00:25:44.160 -->
00:25:48.720So not only, and this is while our system's down and we can't even fucking mop.
00:25:48.880 -->
00:25:53.680So I had to hand clean it, which trust me, I did not get on my hands and knees to clean it.
00:25:53.920 -->
00:26:04.720I got me a cleaning rag and I got it covered with cleaner and I put it on the ground and I zooshed it about, and that's gonna have to be good enough because it wasn't found until
7:45 at night.
00:26:05.119 -->
00:26:16.160And I've got I have to close this side of the building, then I have to chase all the customers out, and I gotta close out this side of the building because the other manager I was closing with, she she just she can't do it.
00:26:16.319 -->
00:26:21.599She's shorter than me, and so it takes it literally takes her 15 minutes to walk from one side of the building to the next.
00:26:21.680 -->
00:26:22.480So whatever.
00:26:22.720 -->
00:26:26.480So 15 minutes to walk through this part of the building and then another 10 to get to the other.
00:26:26.559 -->
00:26:28.480So it's like a half-hour project almost, anyways.
00:26:28.640 -->
00:26:33.359Uh, you know, but they so the person just I don't wish anybody bad ill will or anything.
00:26:33.440 -->
00:26:38.559I wish everybody well, no matter how, even no matter how you've treated me, I wish you well.
00:26:38.799 -->
00:26:42.079I wish you get everything you deserve and more.
00:26:42.480 -->
00:26:44.240Get a little bonus going on.
00:26:44.480 -->
00:26:48.960So, you know, and the individual can't understand why we don't care.
00:26:49.519 -->
00:26:55.200Like, they really thought, I think they really thought by giving it to me that I was gonna be like, oh, please don't go.
00:26:55.359 -->
00:26:56.559No, I'm like, okay, cool.
00:26:56.640 -->
00:26:57.680When's your last day?
00:26:57.920 -->
00:27:02.960And I love and and I like how they thought they were gonna be assie with me and it's an at we'll stay.
00:27:03.039 -->
00:27:04.000Oh, okay.
00:27:04.240 -->
00:27:13.359And it was funny because I made sure to I made sure to call the store manager immediately and say, um, so this individual just quit.
00:27:13.920 -->
00:27:14.720Send them up here.
00:27:14.880 -->
00:27:17.039Oh, I tried twice, blah blah blah blah.
00:27:17.200 -->
00:27:20.799And that was one of the things, and so so when is their last day?
00:27:20.960 -->
00:27:26.000Um the last yeah, the last shift they were, they called out for their last shift.
00:27:26.160 -->
00:27:27.359Oh, yes, I know.
00:27:27.680 -->
00:27:29.680So they're not coming into their shift today.
00:27:29.839 -->
00:27:30.640No, ma'am.
00:27:30.799 -->
00:27:33.200I want to know why there's not how is this?
00:27:33.359 -->
00:27:34.000I don't understand.
00:27:34.079 -->
00:27:34.880I said, I don't know.
00:27:34.960 -->
00:27:35.759I have a note for you.
00:27:35.920 -->
00:27:38.799I did not read it, and I because it's it's for you.
00:27:39.039 -->
00:27:47.279I said, but what they they told me is this is an at-will state, and at their own will, they're leaving the position, and at their own will, they're choosing not to talk to you.
00:27:47.519 -->
00:27:52.720At-will state does not mean anything other than the employer at any time can take you away from your job.
00:27:52.960 -->
00:27:56.079Yes, you're a human, you have a right at your own will not to.
00:27:56.240 -->
00:28:00.240But here's the thing when you quit your job without notice and without cause.
00:28:00.480 -->
00:28:06.720So without notice, so say you quit because on August 25th, you're starting a new job.
00:28:06.960 -->
00:28:11.759So you are expected today is August, let's say today's August 10th.
00:28:11.920 -->
00:28:16.480You tell your employer, uh, my last day is going to be August 24th.
00:28:16.559 -->
00:28:17.680That is two weeks.
00:28:17.839 -->
00:28:20.799That is what is a general business practice, yeah.
00:28:21.440 -->
00:28:25.200Now, here's what happens if you don't give your employer notice.
00:28:25.359 -->
00:28:32.799First of all, if you have uh a history with the company, you're no longer hirable by them, number one.
00:28:33.279 -->
00:28:35.759Especially in the industry that we're in.
00:28:36.079 -->
00:28:39.519You're you're no longer you're no longer hirable by them, number one.
00:28:39.839 -->
00:28:49.920Number two, and believe me, it gets out there, it you get known in the retail world as not worth your weight in gold.
00:28:50.079 -->
00:28:52.880Yeah, you're not worth your weight in spit.
00:28:53.200 -->
00:28:54.240Unreliable.
00:28:54.480 -->
00:28:55.599That is correct.
00:28:55.759 -->
00:29:10.160And uh, and and even though in our state there's only three questions that can that can be asked about the about the employee, there's one key one, there's one key one that we get to ask, which is a very telling thing.
00:29:10.559 -->
00:29:12.079Would you hire them again?
00:29:12.400 -->
00:29:13.359Exactly.
00:29:13.920 -->
00:29:14.799Hell no.
00:29:15.119 -->
00:29:16.319When did they work for you?
00:29:16.480 -->
00:29:17.440What was their wage?
00:29:17.599 -->
00:29:19.279Would you hire them again?
00:29:19.759 -->
00:29:40.319Now I will tell you, my boss, she does not like she does not like making people to where they are not rehirable because she is very much, just because of her history and background, she's very much a, you know, she doesn't believe in second chances, she believes in three chances, three opportunities to make it right.
00:29:40.559 -->
00:29:47.519And she's going through a little world of her own thing because one of her very and and nobody really knew for sure because it was rumored.
00:29:47.680 -->
00:29:57.839And you know, you don't believe gossip and rumors, but it was actually verified um that her best friend was working for us and then just shit out on the job because of her addiction problems.
00:29:58.480 -->
00:30:01.440And uh, you know, but that was her third strike.
00:30:01.519 -->
00:30:02.559Now she's not hirable.
00:30:02.880 -->
00:30:05.359She wasn't hirable after the last time either.
00:30:05.599 -->
00:30:10.559Because the last time she was no call, no show for the last seven days of her notice.
00:30:10.720 -->
00:30:14.640So, anyways, yeah, it's it's been it's been wild.
00:30:14.799 -->
00:30:17.839Uh yeah, and uh it's it's been crazy.
00:30:18.000 -->
00:30:18.720Well, what about you?
00:30:18.799 -->
00:30:20.319What's the newest thing for you at work?
00:30:20.480 -->
00:30:22.319What are are you struggling with anything?
00:30:22.480 -->
00:30:22.799Yeah.
00:30:23.039 -->
00:30:24.079You like everybody?
00:30:24.319 -->
00:30:25.119For the most part.
00:30:25.200 -->
00:30:30.319I mean, I'm not one of those people that needs to like the people that I work with, it just makes it easier.
00:30:30.640 -->
00:30:33.839So, how many people there just irritate the fuck out of you every day?
00:30:34.079 -->
00:30:36.559I know one manager for sure when she's around.
00:30:36.880 -->
00:30:41.599Well, that I don't see her every day, so it does it's not that big of a deal.
00:30:41.920 -->
00:30:46.720Um Is it the ongoing battles with the boys with the small balls?
00:30:47.119 -->
00:30:50.240Yeah, I don't have any problems with any of the guys that I work with.
00:30:50.480 -->
00:30:53.519Um even when they're fighting amongst themselves.
00:30:53.920 -->
00:31:05.839What literally sometimes I just when I come back there, uh, you know, when I when I come back uh and and look around and and my guys are doing their thing, I literally want to pull up a bowl of popcorn and just watch it happen.
00:31:06.240 -->
00:31:08.559I j I just want to see it happen.
00:31:08.880 -->
00:31:09.279Yeah.
00:31:09.519 -->
00:31:21.039Yeah, and since the one dude who I almost had a problem with quit, um I think I think everybody there likes me, which is always weird to me.
00:31:21.359 -->
00:31:30.880But uh one other co-worker that I have that works in my same area that I can like I can take him or leave him.
00:31:31.200 -->
00:31:38.000Um even he seems to like me as much as he likes anybody there, because it doesn't seem like he likes anybody there.
00:31:38.400 -->
00:31:39.279Yeah, yeah.
00:31:39.440 -->
00:31:46.079Um so he he does I I'll I'll tell you just from first hand knowledge he likes you.
00:31:46.880 -->
00:31:48.000It's disgusting.
00:31:48.400 -->
00:31:53.359It's it's look, I've known you almost 17, almost 17 years.
00:31:53.759 -->
00:31:56.960You're so old, you're so decrepit, bro.
00:31:58.160 -->
00:32:06.559It's it's not surprising to me because you take things um kind of like with a with just a glancing blow.
00:32:06.720 -->
00:32:10.640Like you're just like, you're like, yep, I can see being angry.
00:32:11.200 -->
00:32:12.640I I'd be frustrated too.
00:32:12.720 -->
00:32:13.119Yep.
00:32:13.359 -->
00:32:30.960And I think because you have that ability to uh be in other people's shoes, I think that makes you more likable because it's just like you don't sit there and say, Oh, well, Jimmy John told me A and and Dingledork told me B, and Mickleboo, you know, like you don't sit there and throw your being in the West.
00:32:31.119 -->
00:32:32.960You're just like, okay, that's what I was told to do.
00:32:33.039 -->
00:32:34.640If that's not right, tell me what to do.
00:32:34.720 -->
00:32:35.039Yeah.
00:32:35.279 -->
00:32:43.440You're very, you know, you're very uh flexible with with, I mean, now you're not always happy about it, and I know you're not always happy about it.
00:32:43.599 -->
00:32:44.160Yeah.
00:32:44.480 -->
00:33:00.400But you are you you're you just you just have a calmness about you, and that's exactly what your coworkers need is is that calmness where it's like, yep, once upon a time I'd have been mad too, but it's not worth getting that angry about it's a job, we do it, and then we go home.
00:33:00.480 -->
00:33:01.119That's how it is.
00:33:01.599 -->
00:33:09.759Three of them have a tendency to get really riled up and then like you stepped into my pod square.
00:33:10.000 -->
00:33:14.160Why did you cross my you bastard?
00:33:14.319 -->
00:33:16.640Why did you touch those keys?
00:33:16.799 -->
00:33:32.880I mean, uh, and then you ever notice, you ever notice, and you know, you ever notice when they're uh one of them's not missing, two of them are ganging up on the other, and it doesn't matter what combination is, if A and B are there, they're talking shit about C.
00:33:33.039 -->
00:33:35.440And if C and B are there, they're talking shit about A.
00:33:35.519 -->
00:33:35.759Yeah.
00:33:35.920 -->
00:33:43.759But the biggest thing I've noticed and I laugh about, and I actually saw it this weekend, uh, because I don't always get to be part of like production huddles or whatever.
00:33:44.319 -->
00:33:46.720Uh, so I actually saw it, I think it was this weekend.
00:33:46.799 -->
00:33:47.839Was it Saturday?
00:33:48.000 -->
00:33:49.039No, Thursday.
00:33:49.200 -->
00:33:50.559Yeah, no, it was Saturday.
00:33:50.720 -->
00:33:52.480It was part of the production huddle huddle.
00:33:52.640 -->
00:34:01.359I got to see it where person A, who I think uh I I go youngest to oldest when I say ABC.
00:34:01.519 -->
00:34:01.680Okay.
00:34:01.839 -->
00:34:03.839Okay, so now you got that in your mind, who's what?
00:34:04.240 -->
00:34:15.039So A says when when when the managers come in, we're doing this meeting and everything, and they're like, um, they're like, Oh, I I literally like, hey, do you guys got anything?
00:34:15.199 -->
00:34:16.880And my co-manager's like, yeah, is there anything?
00:34:17.199 -->
00:34:18.239It's like, come on, we're here.
00:34:18.320 -->
00:34:22.320We're we literally had seven minutes left on meeting time, you know, like what the fuck?
00:34:22.480 -->
00:34:27.199And they're like, no, because B's not here, and B's the one who makes everything run over.
00:34:27.360 -->
00:34:28.800If it ain't B, it's C.
00:34:28.880 -->
00:34:32.960And it's it's like I'm like bust turn under.
00:34:33.679 -->
00:34:34.239Yeah.
00:34:34.480 -->
00:34:38.239It's it's I'm not gonna say though they weren't wrong.
00:34:38.480 -->
00:34:38.719Right.
00:34:38.800 -->
00:34:41.920Well, they're not completely right either because they're chiding them along.
00:34:42.079 -->
00:34:42.400Yeah.
00:34:42.639 -->
00:34:51.679But what I what I find interesting is person A and person B and person C, I have had this observation when they ask Dagda for help.
00:34:52.320 -->
00:34:54.719They're like, hey Dagda, can you give me a minute?
00:34:55.119 -->
00:34:55.679Please.
00:34:56.079 -->
00:34:58.000I actually hear them say please to you.
00:34:58.079 -->
00:35:00.239And thank you so much for your help, Dagda.
00:35:00.400 -->
00:35:01.039I appreciate it.
00:35:01.199 -->
00:35:02.320Yeah, thank you, Dagda.
00:35:02.719 -->
00:35:04.480They're very pleased and thank you with you.
00:35:04.719 -->
00:35:05.039Okay.
00:35:05.519 -->
00:35:12.239I've heard them ask uh old goat who worked who worked crosswise.
00:35:12.320 -->
00:35:13.679Okay, I I I adore him.
00:35:13.840 -->
00:35:15.360I just I adore him to death.
00:35:15.519 -->
00:35:18.800Uh I've heard them say, Hey, old goat, come here.
00:35:19.039 -->
00:35:20.320You need help with this.
00:35:20.480 -->
00:35:26.239It's two different actions and reactions, even though that individual is a very polite individual.
00:35:26.559 -->
00:35:34.960Yeah, I mean, he isn't like I tend to say please and thank you a lot, even when it's they're just doing what they're supposed to be doing.
00:35:35.199 -->
00:35:35.679Right.
00:35:35.920 -->
00:35:46.159Um but the thing is, if like one thing in particular I always thank them for is when they uh take my gaylord that's full away.
00:35:46.559 -->
00:35:46.880Yeah.
00:35:47.280 -->
00:35:50.159Because if it's full, then I can't put it in the room.
00:35:50.320 -->
00:35:52.719You've got to you gotta stack your own shit up on your thing and put it in.
00:35:52.960 -->
00:35:54.159Um or I have to do it myself.
00:35:54.239 -->
00:36:00.960I have to leave my pod and take it out and put it in the and fucking with them gaylords, let me tell you what, I don't like fucking with them gaylords.
00:36:01.039 -->
00:36:02.320I actually like doing that.
00:36:02.559 -->
00:36:03.119Oh, really?
00:36:03.280 -->
00:36:07.840Yeah, it's and it's it's different from what I'm normally doing, so it's and it's not that big of a deal.
00:36:07.920 -->
00:36:09.599It only takes like five minutes or whatever.
00:36:09.840 -->
00:36:13.119So the next time a router position opens up, that's what you should go for.
00:36:13.280 -->
00:36:17.039It would probably mean changing your schedule, but just remember that position's called a router.
00:36:17.360 -->
00:36:17.760Yeah.
00:36:18.000 -->
00:36:22.800Um, so anyway, whenever one of them does that, I thank them for it.
00:36:23.039 -->
00:36:23.519Me too.
00:36:23.599 -->
00:36:24.480High five.
00:36:24.800 -->
00:36:28.320Uh even though it's like that's what they're fucking supposed to be doing.
00:36:28.480 -->
00:36:29.119Yeah.
00:36:29.679 -->
00:36:37.760I think that's the thing, is that you know, it's really funny because um our problematic manager.
00:36:38.559 -->
00:36:40.719Why are you thanking them for doing their job?
00:36:40.960 -->
00:36:42.639Because it's a thankless job.
00:36:42.880 -->
00:36:46.880I was just like, you never know how far a please and thank you will take you.
00:36:47.039 -->
00:36:47.360Yeah.
00:36:47.599 -->
00:36:56.559And old goat looking at me the other day, and I I don't know if he actually, because he's not he's not the first one, and knock on wood, I can continue the trend.
00:36:56.719 -->
00:36:58.480But he's like, there's my favorite manager.
00:36:58.559 -->
00:37:07.679And I was just and I don't think he's fucking with me, but I think I am one of his two favorite people because I don't do this hyper yell thing.
00:37:07.760 -->
00:37:20.880I don't do what my favorite coworker does, which is when she gets riled up after the bot, it's trickle-down effects, and she's responsible for making sure that pod is clean and tidy, and she just starts yelling and throwing.
00:37:20.960 -->
00:37:23.840And I'm just like, damn, yeah, I don't do that.
00:37:24.000 -->
00:37:27.119I just I believe in gentle, like, hey, it was a great day.
00:37:27.199 -->
00:37:27.840We got through it.
00:37:27.920 -->
00:37:31.199You're still kind of messy, so let's we got like make sure to clean it up.
00:37:31.360 -->
00:37:34.000And if you need help, just ask.
00:37:34.239 -->
00:37:37.519And I don't know if that's the difference, the reaction I get from the employees.
00:37:37.760 -->
00:37:39.519I'm like, if you need help, ask.
00:37:39.679 -->
00:37:40.000Yeah.
00:37:40.239 -->
00:38:01.039I don't, I don't know, because I'm not as jaded as the rest of them are, because I refuse to let it is an effort of will, it's an absolute effort of will to not let somebody who literally gets their jollies off of being cruel and condescending and as mean to people as they because they do it to everybody.
00:38:01.119 -->
00:38:01.519Yeah.
00:38:01.920 -->
00:38:04.639Especially to myself and my one co-manager.
00:38:04.880 -->
00:38:23.760Nothing brings them more joy than to try to show their intellectual intellectual superiority, which they have none, by going, I've been doing this game a lot longer than you, and you can't come in here with a try to have a positive attitude and bring everybody up and make them more positive.
00:38:23.920 -->
00:38:24.239Yeah.
00:38:24.480 -->
00:38:29.920Because let me tell you what, they've already figured it out by now that we work really close proximity, right?
00:38:30.000 -->
00:38:30.559Everybody knows.
00:38:30.639 -->
00:38:32.559Everybody knows we're not fooling anyways, and that's fine.
00:38:32.639 -->
00:38:40.000And I don't really fucking care because none of our coworkers, none of them listen because I refuse to give them the name of the podcast.
00:38:40.639 -->
00:38:44.800And it's not because I don't want them to hear A, B, C, or D.
00:38:44.880 -->
00:38:45.599It's not that.
00:38:45.760 -->
00:38:50.719It's because this is my therapy, this is your therapy, this is our therapy.
00:38:51.119 -->
00:38:55.599This is this is what we do to have a good time and is we talk a lot.
00:38:55.840 -->
00:38:59.039And yeah, like fucking, it's it's yes, I get it.
00:38:59.199 -->
00:39:00.63980, 20, I get it.
00:39:00.880 -->
00:39:02.159Shut the fuck up.
00:39:02.559 -->
00:39:08.079Um, but our our big boss, the the big company boss in our building.
00:39:08.719 -->
00:39:11.440Yeah, have you noticed what she's been doing the last few weeks?
00:39:11.599 -->
00:39:16.719So since I've been there, she's she asked me the first two weeks I was there, she asked me, she goes, So what do you think?
00:39:16.960 -->
00:39:26.719And I looked her dead in the face and I said, the lack of accountability between regular employees and management is astounding to me.
00:39:27.039 -->
00:39:33.360I watched this individual and that individual and this manager do these things, which is against company policy.
00:39:33.440 -->
00:39:37.119And when you asked about it, I was like, they didn't just say, hey, I did it.
00:39:37.199 -->
00:39:38.480It was an easier way to do it.
00:39:38.639 -->
00:39:39.280Unbelievable.
00:39:39.440 -->
00:39:41.039So yeah, did I have a rough start with them?
00:39:41.199 -->
00:39:41.440Of course.
00:39:41.519 -->
00:39:50.159And I don't really care because don't tell me during my interview and when you hire me, I want somebody who's gonna be fucking honest in here.
00:39:50.800 -->
00:39:55.280I want somebody who's gonna hold my team members, our team members, accountable.
00:39:55.519 -->
00:40:04.079The other manager that was there, who is not, it's not the manager I don't get along with, it's one of the two I get along with, the older of the two that I get along with.
00:40:04.159 -->
00:40:04.320Okay.
00:40:04.559 -->
00:40:07.119Um, she was just like, I'm gonna be honest.
00:40:07.199 -->
00:40:08.960She goes, I lack accountability.
00:40:09.039 -->
00:40:12.559And she goes, and it would be refreshing to have somebody who can be honest about it.
00:40:12.719 -->
00:40:17.519She goes, it's gonna suck for a while until we get used to how honest you are, but I think it'll be good.
00:40:17.920 -->
00:40:24.079And it could implement some positive changes and maybe weed out some of the problems that we've been trying to figure out how to get rid of for months.
00:40:24.239 -->
00:40:24.639Yeah.
00:40:24.880 -->
00:40:27.119So I knew that that was my job coming in.
00:40:27.280 -->
00:40:31.360I knew my job was to continue to maintain brutal honesty.
00:40:31.519 -->
00:40:34.559Now, have I softened up the edges a little bit since?
00:40:34.800 -->
00:40:35.599Absolutely.
00:40:35.840 -->
00:40:36.400Absolutely.
00:40:36.559 -->
00:40:55.119I've softened up the edges, but it's really, you know, when you come into a company like this where you have multiple assistant managers and the type of industry we do and all of that, it's it's overwhelming because you've already got these two managers going, you have to watch out for this individual, and this individual going, oh, these individuals are lazy liars because they're under the age of 50.
00:40:55.360 -->
00:40:59.119So you have to work out the truth for yourself and you have to do observations.
00:40:59.440 -->
00:41:07.599So I had a conversation about six or seven weeks ago with the boss at our store.
00:41:08.559 -->
00:41:14.239And she was just like, What concerns this, that, and like just like a whole gamut of things.
00:41:14.320 -->
00:41:20.159And I said, Listen, I was just like, I don't know if you figured me out yet, but there's two things you ought to know by now.
00:41:20.320 -->
00:41:21.920One, I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:41:22.079 -->
00:41:23.199I don't see a point in it.
00:41:23.360 -->
00:41:34.239I was just like, if you don't want me here anymore, if I'm not working out as your employee and as your assistant manager, being honest and doing all these things, you let me know and I'll give you notice.
00:41:34.400 -->
00:41:34.960Number one.
00:41:35.119 -->
00:41:48.639I said, number two, if you want to know why all these people, except for the two people closest, the three people closest to the manager who keeps attacking me, observe.
00:41:48.880 -->
00:41:53.840Pay attention to what's going on because I observe and I listen and then I react.
00:41:54.159 -->
00:41:55.920Am I a sensitive individual?
00:41:56.079 -->
00:41:57.360Of course, I'm a sensitive individual.
00:41:57.679 -->
00:41:58.800I'm very sensitive.
00:41:59.039 -->
00:42:04.320You know, when you're when you're not sure about your position and everything, you're very sensitive.
00:42:04.559 -->
00:42:08.960Um, so she's been observing more, and she's seen exactly what I said.
00:42:09.199 -->
00:42:15.519This father and this son, and this other individual, and one of the individuals that's now gone, right?
00:42:16.000 -->
00:42:22.559These three people, she keeps telling them things that aren't true because she's working off of policies and procedures.
00:42:22.639 -->
00:42:32.960From you want to know why individual B is the way he is with C and A, is because years ago the company used to have another form of management.
00:42:33.360 -->
00:42:33.679Yeah.
00:42:33.840 -->
00:42:40.400And they don't do that, they gave it all to the assistant managers because they weren't gonna put in another price, they weren't gonna put in another pay tier in there.
00:42:41.039 -->
00:42:42.880And and that's the thing is like so.
00:42:42.960 -->
00:42:48.639They've been thinking if they just step up and put everybody in their place, they're gonna be like this, but they can't be accountable.
00:42:48.960 -->
00:43:09.760So redacted started noticing that oh shit, our new employees, you and the two other individuals, the the the gal and old goat, I should just call him goat because I just he's just every time I see him, he reminds me of Billy Groat Gruff, and he don't even have a beard or nothing, just the like the way he walks around.
00:43:09.840 -->
00:43:11.840Like when I was just like, hey, guess what?
00:43:12.239 -->
00:43:13.199What are we gonna do?
00:43:13.280 -->
00:43:17.119And he's like, the way he stops when I call recovery.
00:43:18.480 -->
00:43:28.880But so, but if you notice, you and Goat and our little angel, all three of you, are are you guys as fast as they would like you to be?
00:43:28.960 -->
00:43:30.719No, but you're putting out better quality.
00:43:31.599 -->
00:43:35.440So there's that, and so then and then we also have our newer cachers too.
00:43:35.599 -->
00:43:38.159So she's been observing where are our problems at?
00:43:38.400 -->
00:43:41.920Our problems are with the people encircling this one boss.
00:43:42.159 -->
00:43:49.599So, what did she say a few weeks ago when when B and C had their big argument and they were just fuck you, fuck you going on?
00:43:49.840 -->
00:43:50.800I don't remember.
00:43:51.039 -->
00:43:55.760If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
00:43:56.000 -->
00:43:59.760You're not here to make friends and buddies, you're here to do a job.
00:44:00.480 -->
00:44:04.159So instead of talking to each other, call a manager.
00:44:04.559 -->
00:44:11.920And I and it's funny because so I'm the very that's exactly the way mommy, hi mommy.
00:44:12.159 -->
00:44:12.800Hi mommy.
00:44:14.239 -->
00:44:22.400Um, that's exactly what mommy would say when I was kid, is if you girls don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything at all.
00:44:22.639 -->
00:44:32.960And you know, the wisdom from somebody who like only had the example of her parents, which was a very overprotective mother and a very strong-willed father.
00:44:33.440 -->
00:44:35.199And then, of course, her older brother.
00:44:35.360 -->
00:44:39.440There's like 10 years between them, 10 years difference, I think, maybe 11, I don't know.
00:44:39.679 -->
00:44:48.320Um, but literally, so B started saying something the other day, and I just looked at him and I said, I'm sorry, what was that?
00:44:48.559 -->
00:44:54.320And he goes, Oh, he goes, Sorry, I'm kind of wound up from this thing that happened earlier.
00:44:54.480 -->
00:44:55.440Did it get resolved?
00:44:55.599 -->
00:44:57.360Well, you know what, Laura says, I do.
00:44:57.440 -->
00:44:59.760If you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all.
00:44:59.920 -->
00:45:02.079And I said, So, did you need my help with something?
00:45:02.239 -->
00:45:05.039Or I just want to know how you're doing today, Miss Jen.
00:45:05.760 -->
00:45:07.119And I said, Well, Mr.
00:45:07.199 -->
00:45:08.639Redacted, I'm doing well.
00:45:08.800 -->
00:45:09.679Thank you for asking.
00:45:09.840 -->
00:45:10.719How are you doing?
00:45:10.880 -->
00:45:11.599I'm doing great.
00:45:11.679 -->
00:45:12.400Is it your Friday?
00:45:12.480 -->
00:45:12.719Yes.
00:45:12.800 -->
00:45:14.639Well, hallelujah, isn't that a blessed?
00:45:14.800 -->
00:45:15.679Blessed thing.
00:45:15.840 -->
00:45:22.239I don't like you because you stood there and like, dude, the day I caught him in the Y and confronted him in front of everybody.
00:45:22.480 -->
00:45:32.480I thought our boss was just gonna die laughing because she was just like, because I told her I was just like, oh, I haven't even thought I got really sick.
00:45:32.719 -->
00:45:37.440I was really sick, and then I was back for a week, and then I got sick again.
00:45:37.599 -->
00:45:48.079And it's not that I got better for a week, it's that I had a double ear infection, a sinus infection, and trying to turn into uh like an upper respiratory infection.
00:45:48.639 -->
00:45:51.599So I just needed a lot of drugs to get me through it.
00:45:51.840 -->
00:45:56.960So yeah, the the three days I was there were days he didn't even work, and then he tried to blame me for some.
00:45:57.119 -->
00:45:58.320Oh, game on.
00:45:59.039 -->
00:46:02.239So I don't, I just don't play that game.
00:46:02.400 -->
00:46:03.119I just don't.
00:46:03.280 -->
00:46:03.519Yeah.
00:46:03.679 -->
00:46:15.360And I and I think because you are you actually have a lot of individual friends that like run through the spectrum of personality and moral compass.
00:46:15.519 -->
00:46:18.480Like I've had a lot of assholes for friends.
00:46:18.960 -->
00:46:29.039And you you have a lot of assholes for friends, you know what, and I would honestly say that the one friend that everybody claims is an asshole, I'm gonna say he's probably not an asshole.
00:46:29.119 -->
00:46:30.880He's probably just likes things his own way.
00:46:31.280 -->
00:46:32.079Very particular.
00:46:32.320 -->
00:46:38.480Well, yeah, but I mean, like, I mean, but you have you have a huge gamut of friends, so it makes it to where like friend types, yeah.
00:46:38.719 -->
00:46:51.280And me, uh I can't do that as much as you do, um, because inevitably it ends up being that person A hates person B, and why are you talking?
00:46:51.440 -->
00:46:59.519Or I gotta listen to it from other sources, and it's just like, you know, I'm I personally am very happy having a very small circle.
00:47:00.159 -->
00:47:12.320I love that in my private life I've got you and Bogey I talked to and a few other people, but like it's not an immense I couldn't keep up with a circle like yours.
00:47:12.719 -->
00:47:14.159My circle wasn't that big.
00:47:14.400 -->
00:47:17.440Well, your gaming group is a big portion of your friends.
00:47:17.599 -->
00:47:18.079Yeah, yeah.
00:47:18.239 -->
00:47:22.239And so I couldn't if all if all 12 of you were together at once, I couldn't.
00:47:22.480 -->
00:47:23.440That would be overwhelming to me.
00:47:23.519 -->
00:47:24.639It'd be too much for me.
00:47:24.880 -->
00:47:32.960Because I'd be like, ladies, I'm sorry if the dudes are being asses, dudes don't be such asses to the ladies, you know, because you know what I mean?
00:47:33.039 -->
00:47:38.400Like, I don't know, it's just weird, and then your one friend and your other friend who don't work.
00:47:39.360 -->
00:47:45.519Yeah, but mental health is everybody's got issues, yeah.
00:47:45.760 -->
00:47:49.760You know, but you definitely have one friend who's an asshole for sure.
00:47:49.920 -->
00:47:51.039Oh, yeah, at least one.
00:47:51.280 -->
00:47:53.039At least one, and he admits it.
00:47:53.280 -->
00:47:54.079And you know what?
00:47:54.159 -->
00:47:57.920That's a step up from when we met him what 12 years ago.
00:47:58.079 -->
00:48:00.000That's a huge step up from where he was a couple years ago.
00:48:00.079 -->
00:48:01.280He's just like, I'm just a private individual.
00:48:01.519 -->
00:48:03.280Now he's like, Oh no, I'm totally an asshole.
00:48:03.360 -->
00:48:05.519It's like, no, spraw grass, anyways.
00:48:05.679 -->
00:48:08.639So work the work's going, it's going well for you then.
00:48:08.800 -->
00:48:09.280Yeah.
00:48:09.519 -->
00:48:14.639I I still am in a we're doing this transitionary thing at work.
00:48:14.880 -->
00:48:28.000And I am still 100% in the boat of making you changing your position, even though it's a little more uncomfortable for you because you'd be dealing with the public a little bit more.
00:48:28.480 -->
00:48:34.719I think it would be the best thing for us to have you do like the organizations and running on the floor.
00:48:35.440 -->
00:48:45.280Because you've got, oh my god, we have this little uh little little Taiwanese lady who or Vietnamese, Vietnamese, I think she's Vietnamese.
00:48:45.360 -->
00:48:54.639We have this little Vietnamese lady, and I can't tell if she just doesn't like the one manager or what, but I definitely know that bitch knows English.
00:48:54.880 -->
00:48:59.119She a hundred percent knows English because she had her kids in the other day.
00:48:59.199 -->
00:49:02.320I'm like, girl, you can't have your kids run around, you know that.
00:49:02.559 -->
00:49:04.639Oh, I know, but I just wanted to break.
00:49:04.800 -->
00:49:05.760Isn't that what they always say?
00:49:05.840 -->
00:49:10.159So tell me you don't know Englishman, you're telling me shit that you hear the customer saying.
00:49:10.320 -->
00:49:11.360Come on now.
00:49:11.599 -->
00:49:20.639Um, her idea of putting things up in an organized fashion is if she sees something like it on the shelf, slapping it down on top of it.
00:49:21.360 -->
00:49:26.880Somebody got into her bins yesterday and it was a Korean lady.
00:49:27.920 -->
00:49:33.599Yep, and it was like I was I liked Asian showdown.
00:49:33.760 -->
00:49:48.880It was like great, but uh on the on the work note of things, I keep getting emailed from I wouldn't say it's a competitor because charity is not the same as just a general thrift store.
00:49:48.960 -->
00:49:49.519Yeah, yeah.
00:49:49.679 -->
00:49:52.480A certified charity is not the same as a general thrift store.
00:49:52.960 -->
00:50:02.400Um, but what I will say what I will say is like so from the one email I got a week and a half ago from you know, like I'm listed on indeed.com.
00:50:02.800 -->
00:50:16.719Because it's like you, you know, you need to to help with your to help anybody with their own peace of mind, they should stay active on the and just have their shit listed because you never know what opportunity could come that could be a life-changing opportunity.
00:50:16.880 -->
00:50:17.679Yeah, right.
00:50:18.400 -->
00:50:28.719And um, so anyways, I started getting emails from this other company, and it was just like, hey, you might be interested in this job, you know, and it was just like, yeah, okay, no, thanks.
00:50:28.880 -->
00:50:43.840Uh no, I mean, if I if I literally worked a half mile away and not three miles away, I'd be like, I could do minimum wage and be just uh, I don't, I don't, I don't want responsibility, but I don't not want it.
00:50:44.000 -->
00:50:44.400Yeah.
00:50:44.639 -->
00:50:51.199It's like at least if I have a responsibility, at least then I can listen to all the employees and what they're saying.
00:50:51.360 -->
00:50:54.079And like my big thing right now is pushing accountability.
00:50:54.239 -->
00:50:54.559Yeah.
00:50:54.719 -->
00:50:56.559You know, the boss is just like, can we correct this?
00:50:56.639 -->
00:50:57.280Can we correct this?
00:50:57.360 -->
00:50:58.320And I said, Yeah, we can correct this.
00:50:58.400 -->
00:51:03.199I said, but uh, believe you me, I don't think it's right to keep, they're gonna keep doing this.
00:51:03.440 -->
00:51:08.159We have A, B, and C who keep fucking shit up on purpose.
00:51:08.400 -->
00:51:14.000And now D, he is starting to do it too because he's tired of taking metros out.
00:51:14.079 -->
00:51:15.440He doesn't want to take his metros out.
00:51:15.519 -->
00:51:16.639He hates being on the floor.
00:51:16.800 -->
00:51:17.039Yeah.
00:51:17.199 -->
00:51:26.159And I was just like, all it does, it started out with individual B and it moved on to C because now nobody's got areas of responsibility because I'm not producing.
00:51:26.239 -->
00:51:28.239Why should I have an area of responsibility?
00:51:29.280 -->
00:51:33.760And uh then it was uh, yeah, you are because you're responsible for this.
00:51:33.920 -->
00:51:36.559Just because you do that, you're you're still responsible for this.
00:51:36.719 -->
00:51:37.840And then it went to A.
00:51:37.920 -->
00:51:39.840So all of them doing it, now we're on to D.
00:51:39.920 -->
00:51:41.039So we got A, B, C, D.
00:51:41.199 -->
00:51:44.239And I'm like, you need to hold these people accountable.
00:51:44.480 -->
00:51:49.679And I was talking to another manager who I worked with yesterday morning briefly, or yeah, early day.
00:51:49.840 -->
00:51:52.239And I said to her, and I was just like, Oh, I'll fix it if you want.
00:51:52.320 -->
00:51:57.679I was like, but believe you me, these people need to do it right the first time.
00:51:57.840 -->
00:52:03.119And you need somebody needs to be out here with them doing it right and correcting it every time.
00:52:03.360 -->
00:52:05.840Because I I flat out told her straight to her face.
00:52:05.920 -->
00:52:09.039I said, I would call it to their face, and I'm telling you to your face.
00:52:09.199 -->
00:52:13.440This individual and this individual, they both like to just shove and go.
00:52:13.599 -->
00:52:24.000I've literally seen D take stuff over to sporting goods because he was just he couldn't make any room in electronics or whatever he was trying to drop off.
00:52:24.239 -->
00:52:31.360One of them was a stereo, there was no room there, so he literally just sped it down in front of the bin that holds the baseball bats.
00:52:32.320 -->
00:52:38.239And then it was face like like face creams or something that belongs in health and beauty.
00:52:38.880 -->
00:52:41.440He hung on the rack in linens.
00:52:42.559 -->
00:52:47.199So don't tell me I'm not fucking seeing it, because I'm fucking seeing it, but that's my thing is I'm pushing accountability.
00:52:47.360 -->
00:53:10.239So, anyway, so a week ago, so apparently this this other thrift store is cleaning the house, which does not surprise me because I've had some of their employees come in and go, like, yeah, like they're like, what was the one the one lady was telling me that they have a really big problem with their production crews uh stealing shit and nobody was getting fired.
00:53:10.320 -->
00:53:10.880Well, guess what?
00:53:10.960 -->
00:53:13.760They're they're cleaning house, they've got tons of position opens.
00:53:13.920 -->
00:53:17.599So I started a week ago with getting that, and I'm like, oh, okay, good for you, whatever.
00:53:17.760 -->
00:53:22.239And then like four days ago, I got an email going, This person is interested in you.
00:53:22.400 -->
00:53:23.920Would you like them to email you directly?
00:53:24.000 -->
00:53:25.280And I just don't answer it.
00:53:25.599 -->
00:53:33.599Because what I noticed between four days ago and then yesterday is the bare bare minimum you're gonna earn went up.
00:53:33.760 -->
00:53:35.920I think it was 21 cents an hour.
00:53:36.159 -->
00:53:36.320Okay.
00:53:36.559 -->
00:53:37.920And I'm like, well, we'll see.
00:53:38.159 -->
00:53:53.199Once once you reach that top end number, because they have sent me emails for cash hearing, which I could do, you know, as long as it was the same for a don't ask me to go after shoplifters or whatever, it's bad enough that I'm the designated shoplifter monster now.
00:53:53.840 -->
00:54:09.679Look, can you explain to me how I've gotten two of them arrested in being there less than six months when the other managers have all been in that store for at least two years or more, haven't been able to get the two most prolific man and woman arrested?
00:54:10.000 -->
00:54:10.559Got how?
00:54:11.360 -->
00:54:11.920Good question.
00:54:12.079 -->
00:54:14.239It's called doing your fucking job, bitch.
00:54:14.480 -->
00:54:20.400It's you know, but that's the thing is that they're all there it's a lack of accountability and a lack of drive.
00:54:20.559 -->
00:54:21.760So, how do you change that?
00:54:21.840 -->
00:54:27.360You show them results, and I don't sit there and say, Well, I did this okay, because I was paying to I don't do that.
00:54:27.599 -->
00:54:45.760I say it took the whole team being observational for us to find this in because if you give credit to your crew, even when they don't necessarily deserve it, when you say it's a team effort, yeah, it makes them it empowers them more because now I've got two of my cashiers when when they're like, Hey, come pay for that here.
00:54:45.840 -->
00:54:46.880You need to pay for that merchandise.
00:54:47.519 -->
00:54:54.960I literally walked up the other day, and my one guy who didn't hardly say he's been there almost two years and he hardly talks to nobody.
00:54:55.199 -->
00:55:00.880And I saw him telling this lady, if you're not gonna come back here and pay for your shit, then don't fucking come back.
00:55:01.039 -->
00:55:12.880And I didn't have a problem with him talking to a customer like that because she was, she was, oh, she was calling him the n-word and not like uh friendly hood type thing.
00:55:12.960 -->
00:55:19.119It was yeah, you're just she literally said, You're a dirty ass n-word working for white people.
00:55:19.280 -->
00:55:21.199I was like, Oh shit.
00:55:21.519 -->
00:55:23.199Sip my tea and watch what's gonna happen.
00:55:23.280 -->
00:55:28.639No, and I and he was just like, he called her a dirty ass because she was stealing.
00:55:28.800 -->
00:55:30.239And I'm like, okay, stop.
00:55:30.400 -->
00:55:32.320I'm like, ma'am, you don't need to talk to him that way.
00:55:32.400 -->
00:55:33.199You just don't need to come back.
00:55:33.360 -->
00:55:34.000Why, bitch?
00:55:34.079 -->
00:55:34.400Why?
00:55:34.639 -->
00:55:36.079Because you're stealing.
00:55:36.320 -->
00:55:38.639And that's not something I usually don't say it that way.
00:55:38.800 -->
00:55:39.760And she goes, No, I'm not.
00:55:39.840 -->
00:55:43.519I'm like, lady, I can see the pro I can see the tag on the bag.
00:55:43.679 -->
00:55:46.079And the other cashier is like, well, she did pay for her snacks.
00:55:46.239 -->
00:55:47.039Did she pay for that bag?
00:55:47.119 -->
00:55:48.000Did she pay for the shirt?
00:55:48.079 -->
00:55:50.000Did she pay for any of the shoes that she put in her bag?
00:55:50.079 -->
00:55:51.039Did she pay for any of that?
00:55:51.199 -->
00:55:53.599Oh no, she just paid for a bag of chips and a drink.
00:55:53.760 -->
00:55:55.280She goes, I paid something.
00:55:55.440 -->
00:55:58.000And the shit part about it was it was actually a brand new bag.
00:55:58.079 -->
00:55:59.360So we get new goods that come in.
00:55:59.519 -->
00:55:59.920Yeah.
00:56:00.159 -->
00:56:07.119So, so, anyways, so I'm waiting to see what this email is gonna say as far as pay goes.
00:56:07.199 -->
00:56:13.199Because I'm like, if you get up to a dollar more an hour than I'm making, I might actually consider that a seven-mile drive.
00:56:13.360 -->
00:56:16.159Well, because it's a whole different ball.
00:56:16.559 -->
00:56:21.039Working for charity is a whole different ball game than working for an average retail store.
00:56:21.119 -->
00:56:21.599Yeah.
00:56:21.920 -->
00:56:27.199And you know, University Place is, you know, not not too far.
00:56:27.519 -->
00:56:30.639And it's a very nice town with a very low crime rate.
00:56:30.800 -->
00:56:31.119Yeah.
00:56:31.280 -->
00:56:35.920I think the only one that's got a lower fire crime rate in Pierce County is like Furcrest.
00:56:36.639 -->
00:56:40.000You know, because it's it's only like six blocks by ten, you know.
00:56:41.840 -->
00:56:47.760There is the three generation to live there.
00:56:48.800 -->
00:56:54.639But you know, the sad thing is Fiore's uh Fiori's isn't there at the deli, the delicatescent that used to be there.
00:56:54.960 -->
00:56:55.599Yeah, I don't know.
00:56:55.679 -->
00:56:58.239I've never really hung out over there, I just drove past it.
00:56:58.559 -->
00:57:02.559They had this fantastic family-owned uh delicatesscent there.
00:57:02.800 -->
00:57:04.960They had the best pastrami sandwiches there.
00:57:05.679 -->
00:57:09.039But here's the thing about it, it was so fattening.
00:57:09.199 -->
00:57:11.840You you would put a pound on just eating their food.
00:57:11.920 -->
00:57:20.880So you could only go like I would go once a month, like because when I used to work uh for True Grain and I was doing a lot of physical work, I was walking nine to 14 miles a day.
00:57:20.960 -->
00:57:23.519Yeah, I was just like, Oh, it's my Friday.
00:57:23.599 -->
00:57:25.599I'm actually not working this weekend.
00:57:25.679 -->
00:57:26.800This is crazy.
00:57:27.119 -->
00:57:32.000Me and a buddy of mine who was, and it's so funny, he was the tree guy for the area.
00:57:32.079 -->
00:57:34.639His name was Joe, um, you know, R A P.
00:57:35.199 -->
00:57:39.599It was Joe, and then I go and we it via force.
00:57:39.760 -->
00:57:41.199It was via force, not Feroni's.
00:57:41.280 -->
00:57:49.119Uh, it was via force, and we'd go there and we'd get a sandwich, and we'd have their homemade uh whatever their daily salad was.
00:57:49.280 -->
00:57:53.280Most of the time it was like um like a dill potato salad.
00:57:53.599 -->
00:57:54.400Oh yes.
00:57:54.559 -->
00:58:00.320We'd go get a sandwich, we'd get a side, we'd share the side, we'd have chips, we'd do that like once a month.
00:58:00.960 -->
00:58:04.960You know, but um, best for strommy because they did it all in-house.
00:58:05.599 -->
00:58:07.119But they don't have that there now.
00:58:07.280 -->
00:58:10.559Now it's like a feronies or whatever.
00:58:10.639 -->
00:58:12.079It's the I don't know.
00:58:12.320 -->
00:58:13.599Anyways, so we'll see.
00:58:13.760 -->
00:58:19.599University of place isn't that far away, and you know, it is a nicer, it's a nicer part of town than the part of town I work in.
00:58:19.760 -->
00:58:19.920Yeah.
00:58:20.079 -->
00:58:26.320Uh and even the part of town I don't the even the part of town I work in is actually considered better than a half mile away.
00:58:26.559 -->
00:58:26.960Yeah.
00:58:27.280 -->
00:58:39.920And you know, and um it was really interesting is so when I talk to the police force, because it was me that got these two, and it and again, it's a team effort because if nobody had ever pointed it out, I would have never known that they were problematic.
00:58:40.000 -->
00:58:40.239Yeah.
00:58:40.400 -->
00:58:50.159And if I didn't have the support from my team, when I'm like, keep your eyes on this individual because I have to track where they're moving, but there's so many moving parts in any given day.
00:58:50.320 -->
00:58:53.280Yesterday I was having a conversation with somebody and they actually did this to me.
00:58:53.440 -->
00:59:00.000And I said, ma'am, I'm having a conversation with you, but you have to realize I don't need to look at you to have this conversation because I'm watching seven other things.
00:59:00.159 -->
00:59:01.840I'm sorry, was that rude?
00:59:02.400 -->
00:59:04.559In my face is really fucking rude.
00:59:04.800 -->
00:59:05.199Yeah.
00:59:05.360 -->
00:59:05.920Yeah.
00:59:06.239 -->
00:59:08.079So I don't know.
00:59:08.320 -->
00:59:09.760But I'm gonna make one condition.
00:59:09.840 -->
00:59:19.840If I ever if I ever go to that company, I'm gonna make one condition that you work the same shift as me and you work in production that and that they pay two dollars more an hour than you're making right now.
00:59:20.320 -->
00:59:21.760That's my condition.
00:59:22.480 -->
00:59:24.159Well, I have to have my pit bull.
00:59:24.320 -->
00:59:26.639I have to have my pit bull, anyways.
00:59:26.880 -->
00:59:27.440Well, good.
00:59:27.519 -->
00:59:33.679I'm glad that you feel things are going really well on the job side, but I'm pretty sure you'd still rather be doing something else.
00:59:33.840 -->
00:59:34.320Yeah.
00:59:34.559 -->
00:59:36.000Besides video games.
00:59:36.159 -->
00:59:38.079Oh, yeah, sleeping.
00:59:38.320 -->
00:59:48.079Hey, speaking of which, so I started uh a new Seven Days to Die map, and I'm super excited because I named it after one of Harry's names.
00:59:48.639 -->
00:59:52.880And all these stars are all different towns, so most towns I've gotten yet.
00:59:53.119 -->
00:59:53.440Nice.
00:59:53.679 -->
00:59:54.639Super excited.
00:59:55.039 -->
00:59:57.920I'm only like an hour, two hours into that map.
00:59:58.719 -->
01:00:06.719I'm trying to find a map that when Bogey and I get a chance to get together and do a seven days to die day, uh, that that it'll be fun.
01:00:06.960 -->
01:00:08.400So I got a lot of work to do.
01:00:08.480 -->
01:00:10.000But I'm anyways.
01:00:15.280 -->
01:00:16.000Yesterday?
01:00:16.159 -->
01:00:16.960Yeah, yesterday.
01:00:17.360 -->
01:00:18.880Total Warhammer again?
01:00:19.199 -->
01:00:19.360Yeah.
01:00:19.840 -->
01:00:23.360Did it have updates or new assignments or just getting back into it?
01:00:23.679 -->
01:00:31.119Yeah, it has had some updates since the last time I played it, but also there's like something like 40 factions or something like that.
01:00:31.280 -->
01:00:34.559And I want to play like five or six of them.
01:00:35.360 -->
01:00:42.480Two I played till I won the main campaign, although you can continue playing after that.
01:00:42.719 -->
01:00:43.039Yeah.
01:00:43.440 -->
01:00:50.960Um the rest of them I played like I started playing, and then I'm like, this is too difficult for me for my skill level right now.
01:00:51.199 -->
01:00:55.519Because that game is fucking it can be super ridiculous.
01:00:55.760 -->
01:00:56.239Yeah.
01:00:56.480 -->
01:00:59.039Um, because it's made to be that way.
