  • No putting codoms on the valentine's day display. Even though everyone who bought something from that display also bought condoms.

    • What was on the display edible?

      And my additions:

      -If I feel a yawn coming on, the correct procedure is to wait until AFTER you've yawned before you make a PA call, NOT before or during.
      -No barnyard noises over the PA. Even if we're closed.
      -When your register is being closed for a drawer count, you are meant to be doing something productive. Flirting with your potential boyfriend who works at the butchers nearby is NOT productive.
      -Doing the "iggity aggity oop" dance from a Bugs Bunny cartoon is not appropriate. Nor is shouting "Hassan chop!" to the butchers. (for the uninitiated, the dance is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImPtxXjhN9M )
      -I am not to walk past the butchers mentioned above and hum "Entry of the Gladiators" (the circus music)
      -No telling off my idiotic coworker when he doesn't follow the correct procedures.

        • *not allowed to look for the watermark and/or security strip in large bills.

          Yes, I am serious about that.
          I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

          Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

            Valentine's cards and chocolates. The kind of stuff people who didn't plan ahead buy from the convenience store early on Valentine's Day morning while their SO is still at home asleep.

            • For me, from Thursday night...

              -For the millionth time, stop staring at the butchers!
              -We do not have parties in the liquor section after close at work. So stop telling it to customers.
              -No juggling the shopping dividers (but only because the paper kept coming out)
              -I am not to take whatever is covering our EAS gates and wrap it around myself to promote said sale/event. (Theoretical, haven't actually done it, they're cardboard)
              -No chanting "moooo" "mooooo" to customers who don't know if I'm open or not.
              -It is generally not polite to make animal noises in the meat department and scare the crap outta customers.
              -Stop attempting to set up current manager with former manager.
              -Am not allowed to hum songs over the PA so customers have some form of muzak.
              -The broomhandles are NOT weapons.
              -Cannot suggest we keep said broomhandles on checkouts for self-defence.
              -bratwurst is not dried-up turd.

                Really. that's all I can say.
                Any day you're looking down at the dirt instead of up at the dirt is a good day.

                • I'm not allowed to crash my boss's Porshe.

                  Drive it, sure. Just not crash it.

                  When someone comes to test our fire alarm, I'm not allowed to go on the intercom and instruct everyone to run around their desks screaming that we're all gonna die.

                    That's what I said.

                    Becks says I should inform the boss about my theory of the markers.

                    Their asses, not mine, if/when we get some fakes.

                              The sports media relations department are not incompetent morons.
                              Even if they don't return our calls.
