| Well, I had very bizarre little day, to say the absolute least... ...I could probably go on for pages about it, but I'll spare you all the trouble of reading for half an eternity, and just give you a few of the highlights/keypoints -I had to escort "Griff" (mascot for the GR Griffins, in case you didn't know) for about two hours. Between the sight of the kids who screamed in terror at the sight of a six foot tall eagle with a lion's lower body walking around in a hockey jersey, and the old people who thought their medication had gone bad when they saw him, I wound up smiling for the rest of the day. -we had a shipment of those electric AMIGO carts arrive at the front of the store, and to get them in position I was given the "burden" of flying through the store in them at speeds in excess of 10-15 mph (which may not sound like much, but when you're in a store like meijers you feel like you're going the speed of light) -While I was cleaning the entryway windows (the first of the three times I had to today), I saw Fred Meijer enter the building. -I met two -relatively cute- girls that made me stand still while they took a picture of myself, while seriously refering to me as a stud. (and I might also add that got a few oddly flirtatious looks from a few other, also relatively cute looking, girls) -I saw two kids between 10-12 years old cussing each other out while leaving the store: "You F***ing b@stard!" "I'm gonna f***ing kill you b!tchy mother f***er!" I nearly exploded with laughter when I saw that one... -I figured out that if I just walk around the store with a roll of paper towel, or with some merchandise, everyone thinks I'm working. In essence, I have discovered the secret of unlimited breaks! -I was given five tasks in less than five minutes, each of which was done by someone else before I even took a few steps in their general direction. In other words, I got a five minute break to walk around the store because the managers had no clue as to what each of them was doing... -I saw Kyle's mom and sister while cleaning the entry way windows (for the third time that day I might add, since apparently the windows get dirty every two hours), and Jennifer while I was escorting Griff... -After I was done escorting "Griff" I wound up hanging out with him and the other mascots for a while. Apparently both he and the guy who wore the Garfield outfit were professional mascots, while the guy who was wearing the Stawberry Shortcake outfit (Yes, you are reading correctly, a guy was wearing the Strawberry Shortcake outfit while he skipped and blew kisses 'til he nearly collapsed in the backroom...) was just another courtesy team worker like myself... -I also heard one of the greeters refer to an AMIGO cart as an 'electric chair'. Just try to imagine how much laughter I had to suppress when I overheard the following sentence: "Uh, Bob, we had an elderly man's electric chair break down at the front entryway, and we need to take care of him." I was quite tempted to walk up to him and say "Just give me a golf club and a bottle of whiskey, and I'll get the job done. It won't be pretty, but it will have to do." Indeed, so that's pretty much everything of real interest from my day (so much for making things short). If anyone wants to see immense grocery store pandemonium, and me stuck in the middle of it, just come to Meijers tomorrow wednesday, or Thursday between 9-5. |

Sike-a-delic_Grasshopper | 08-03-04 9:32pm Wow that's awesome. I thought working at Meijers would be boring but apparently not. One of these days I'll find an excuse to come visit you. |
| 1010101 | Re:, 08-04-04 7:55pm Ooo! Please do! And just so everyone knows, if you find me inside, you can have me "walk you to an item" without me getting in any trouble. So don't worry about getting me fired for talking with friends or anything. |
Shinigami | 08-03-04 10:03pm Been there, done that. My mom and I went there and we had to beat old women with sticks just to make it through the isles. It was so bad. And I was wondering if you were working today, and after I saw everyone in there I figured you did. I can't believe the employees had to park at the high school and take a bus over to meijers. That's the funniest thing ever. |
