  • Former retail worker, current fast food worker

    My internet name is Shotgun Chuck and I hail from giant, beautiful Alaska. I've spent a little time in retail, but I have few stories from those jobs; Alaska retail customers, as a group, seem to be pretty chill folks. I just started working at a national fast food chain, and somehow it doesn't look like that luck will hold any longer.

    If you're reading this, a moderator has probably approved my other thread by now.
    Just stay out of the "workplace memes" thread. Please. I mean it.

      I'm not quite of age for the booze (just a few months now), but I could definitely go for the chocolate. And a funny avatar, as soon as I have enough posts to view profiles.

        Glad to meet you! I spent some time in retail, although I was in California. Never been to Alaska, though.

          Have patience; it will come. It will come.

            Just curious, but do any restaurants in Alaska "rub it in" about a certain other state's loss of its status by describing items on the "for smaller appetites" section of the menu as "A Texas-sized portion of..."?

                Q: Why don't Texans want the state of Alaska cut in half?
                A: Because then Texas would be the third largest state....

                One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

                  Fun (for non-Texans) trivia: Texas managed to lose its distinction as the largest state in the United States to a state SMALLER than itself (California, 1861).
