Sounds like status quo to me.Quoth taxguykarl View Post
Frankly, I would think that it would be a major news story if Irv had not had anyone with an IQ higher than a rock.

Well, today turned out not to be as chaotic as I thought it would be. It was worse.
First, the ad. My wonderful manager scheduled only three people to put up signs, but had them start at 4 this morning. He figured it would take them three or four hours to get all the signs up. Problem; in addition to the Lowest Prices of the Season sign we had all the October monthlies and some others, so lots of backtracking and double-signing. Instead of taking three people three or four hours to set the ad, it took four and sometimes five people five hours.
Then we had a large truck last night and got way behind on that. Hopefully all the freight got filled, but no backstocking will probably get done before the next truck tomorrow. So when I return to work Sunday afternoon, I will have two trucks worth of freight to backstock. That is if that truck gets completely filled.
Then there were the carryouts. First one was a sofa in a large box, to be loaded onto a flatbed trailer. Easy, no? Uh-uh. We're going to shit around trying to put this large heavy plastic bag around the box to protect it from rain. Rain, which I should mention, was not currently falling and did not come until late this afternoon. So it was I and one other person trying to hold up the weight of this thing while the customers tried to pull the bag over the sofa box. For all this effort I got a grunt instead of a thank you.
Then there was the woman with a small dining bench and an SUV to pick it up. Easy, no? Surely you jest. She's traveling and we need to almost completely empty her junk-strewn trunk. And by "we" I mean "I." The woman did give me a thank you, and told me I was very kind, though, so not so bad.
As for further stories--unless I hear any good ones, they will have to wait until the end of next week. I work during the day Saturday, which is the last day of the sale.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.
