Now with new in-store action
Again with the airbrush case
I swear, I don't know what it is with people that compels them to molest the air brush case, but I can tell you that I am getting sick as hell with cleaning it.... the glass cleaner makes me feel funny
Stop Touching the Paint
All of the model paint was.....scattered....for lack of a better word. We have been open since August and the most I have done to that paint rack is put the new ones in and fix one or two here and there.... it must be because it is after Christmas and Pine Car season. But good LORD nothing was in the right spot I spent over an HOUR putting those evil little bottles of paint away.
Also...on a fun note. Back in September all my model paint went up 20 cents. CW at the time (who was my hobbies minion) was set on the task of repricing all the bottles of paint since I had 18 other pages of change/deletes to do. He said he did... well the day before inventory I was double checking them and guess what... only Half (the half that we have gotten in in the last few months) actually got changed..
Did not make for a good day
Explain this Compulsion to me
I am seriously curious as to why people have to Fsking touch EVERYTHING. I literally have over a thousand items on one side of an aisle and every. single. one is pushed back to the farthest reaches of the shelf. Kinda makes me want to scream.
Please buy it first
I know the gyroscopes/rattlebacks/illusion spinners/everything back in the science kits is AWESOME put please quit opening them. If you want to play with them there are three steps you need to follow 1 take said desired object to the cash registers 2 partake in the process of exchanging monetary funds for said object 3 ONLY after 1&2, now open the package and enjoy your new found glee!
Also...please stop letting your children rip open and destroy those pocket poof planes.... I'm getting sick of writing them off every few days...I almost have the SKU memorized.
Bonus: Shoplifting PWN
Wednesday night was SO SLOW. There were about 8 of us closing and we all had nothing really to do. Until Tweaker and her friends came in. I won't bore you with the long story. but suffice to say she took a wicker basket, put some feather boas in it, filled it with Jewelery and tried to stuff said jewelery up her sleeves. The 6 of us not on register just sort of followed her around for the hour and a half she was in the store... she kept trying to ditch us and stash the jewelery and by the time she made it up to the register she was trying very hard to 'inconspicuously' shake the crap out of her sleeves into the basket since both of my managers were waiting to confront her at the door. She ended up buying $4.00 worth of Jewelery and when we went through the basket she had easily over $500 worth in there.
so WIN for our store for not letting her get away with it
((of course it's not as bad as the 68 year old granny who got busted on Christmas Eve trying to walk out of the store with over $3,600 worth of stolen jewelery at one of our other stores ...she spent Christmas in jail...))
Adventures in Figurines
The last few weeks have been quiet. I'm not sure why. Perhaps they are resting up after the Epic Battle and regrouping. Or perhaps they are simply waiting for me to let my guard down.

The clown fish (all four of them) ended up in with the polar bears. and the chin strap penguins ended up with the baby polar bears. I'm still trying to decide if it was a grave miscalculation on their part or a lucky damn catch for the bears... Either way all I could imagine was papa bear standing up and yelling in his best Sparta voice "Children! Tonight we FEAST!"
-----
I rescued the blue fairy princess from death by shark.
-----
I sold out of the Appaloosas for a while and none of the horses went a-roaming... but now that they are back once again they all keep escaping and appearing randomly around the store... thus validating my thinking that the damn Appaloosas are the ring leaders in this fiendish equine plot.

A cowboy with two pistols was bravely facing down Mega Rex. I had my hands full and thus could not save him... he was gone when I came back. I am not sure if he survived or became a victim of his own foolish error. Whatever the case Mega Rex came out unscathed.
------
Mega Rex was munching on a tabby cat... I guess he got tired of cowboys and Indians.... or they have all gotten smart and learned to stay away from him. Perhaps they learned a lesson from the cowboy?
-------
There was a cowboy with a lasso hanging on to one of the pegs for dear life... I'm not sure if it was a rescue mission gone awry or plain old malicious intent, but an Indian maiden was hanging from the lasso by her neck. This may stir up some unrest among the natives. Only time will tell.
----
Other than that the Jockeys have been behaving and the Blue and Red Knights seem to be getting along for now.... I'm sure this apparent peace will only last so long.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
