Brilliant Minds Of Tomorrow

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Today was yet Another Fucking Half Day. Lots of pre-pubescent miscreants milling about and getting in the way of people actually wanting to buy things. Some shoppers actually complained about their presence.

The same group of girls had to be kicked out of the store twice. They got kicked out once and then came back in later. As they were being escorted out the second time, one of the girls asked me "Are you really going to follow us all the way to the door?"

"Damn right I am, and if you come in here again I will follow you out again."

Oh well, at least this time they didn't steal any seeds.

In a possibly-related incident, I noticed a pile of random squashed produce out in the parking lot as I was leaving for the night. Some broccoli, half a carrot, a couple as-yet unidentified citrus fruits.

Is this a new pre-teen activity I haven't heard about? Stealing seeds, squashing produce...? Another wild and crazy Friday night, eh?

[Mr Hero]

I don't want to alarm you, but one day these kids will be seniors. And watch out when they come back to your store for another senior day.

I'm pretty sure Irv is hoping he's long retired some place relatively nice by that point, Hero.

Or dead.

Either would be preferable to serving those girls as they become elderly when pushing 100.

Considering that ridiculous thing of destroying large bottles of milk some time ago, I'm afraid the answer is probably - yes.

Give me satisfaction or else.

Heavenly Blue morning glory seeds comtain a useful level of hallucinogens... (testimony of friends who ga-ga-gagged the slimy mush down... and kept it down long enough.)

Looks like they were trying to embarass/shame Irv from saying anything. Luckily Irv has a backbone and wasn't intimidated and answered them right back.

That would mean that Irv is human. And we all know people who work in retail are robots, so he'll be around when those kids become seniors.

I wish some customers would say that to an employee who's "outside" activity is fencing - at a championship level. Note that, in days gone by, "demanding satisfaction" was a challenge to a duel.

Accompanied by a glove slap?

Accompanied by a glove slap?

Shut your big yap.

[freespirit114]

Apologize in advance but I've been dying to say this since I first read your handle Irv.
9 9 9 for a lost god and 10 10......
