thursday at work, we got a call from the store in Boston. they said there was a guy in their store that day who ordered and ate a whole bunch of food, and then asked to see all kinds of merchandise and took off without paying for any of it. they said he had tons and tons of pins that he was looking to trade, and that his next destination was niagara falls. so after we got the call, this guy in a boston celtics shirt was in, and nick was all like oooh maybe that’s him! keep an eye on him…it wasn’t him.
well…he came in today. this guy took the table right next to the host stand, and was bugging us all about trading pins blah blah blah. and he had TONS. it was unbelievable. but immediately, this set off signals in my head. so i told donna about it, and i told the retail girls about it. the guy went up to the retail counter and was asking to see stuff, and i watched the girls…they kept all the pins in their hands, and told him that he could have his server pick them up for him when he was done. he sat at the table eating for a while, and then packed up his stuff to leave. i watched him put his receipt in his bag, and i figured he had paid. and he leaves. and the waitress runs out to find him once she realized he didn’t leave her any money. it was the guy. luckly he didn’t run off with any merchandise. i really don’t know how people do it. i guess i just don’t have a criminal’s lack of guilt.
anyway. work sucked. i had to stay til close because…because the cuts weren’t fair, and yeah. blah. i have a massive headache from not eating. i know i shouldn’t complain about next weeks schedule but i still want to. it’s better than it has been the last 3 weeks…i don’t have multiple days off in a row (which is good, cuz that means i don’t have to work 5 days in a row), and i don’t have 3 closing shifts during the weekend. off mon, 3-close tuesday, 5-close wednesday, off thurs, swing friday, 11-6 sat, 12-6 sun. now my complaint is that nick wanted to go out on a day where we only work til 6…and the only day that is, is saturday. which is a long way off. and i’m impatient and lose interest in things too quickly to wait a week. but i guess things could be worse. i have no right to complain because i’ve been getting the days off that i need for my toronto excursions, and tool etc…
this week went WAY fast. i can’t believe it’s saturday already.
i got called in to work at 12…i told her i’d be there in an hour, since going in early means i can leave first haha. got out of the shower and got uncalled in to work. she said i could still come in now if i wanted to, or i could just come in at 5. so i was like, well i want to get cut first, which is why i said yes i’d come in. brooke’s housewarming party is tonight. so she said since i was going to do them a favor i could leave first, and leave all the guys there all night (i’m the only girl working tonight haha lucky me…it’s nick, jack, and allstar (allstar is the new name for the beautiful asshole) lol) so now i’m going out with eric, work later, then out again to brooke’s party. no hard rock afterhours for me tonight. haha maybe i’ll invite nick to the party too, if he could get cut along with me…not likely.
and now for my latest commentary on music: 2 things
1. this guy at work last night started talking to me about led zepplin…as if i know anything about led zepplin. then he left. then he came back, because a video by blind melon was on, and he said “the early 90s had some really great bands” so we started talking about that a bit, how everything me and my friends listen to is about 10 years old. and we talked about wtf happened to modern music now etc (i feel old), and he’s like “i’ll tell you what happened, hip hop. eminem and elton john performing together? it’s the end of the world” hahah i laughed.
2. there’s this big bru-ha-ha about the new disturbed video. disturbed – not my favourite band. but as a music conneseure (can’t spell that to save my life) i looked into the video. it’s all controversial because it apparently is too close to reenacting sept 11th. i watched the video on launch.com. ok no. i don’t get it. i mean really, i don’t get the video. some buildings fall apart, wow. david drainman plays jesus, outstretched arms while some weird light effect comes sweeping over him. wow. i’m so offended 😛 mtv banned the video. oh please. the video is boring. the song is boring. boring, boring, boring. when i was hearing that it was too close to sept 11th, i’m thinking DIRECT REENACTMENT or something lol. not even close. play the damn video.
*fin*
made out like a bandit at frizbees. got myself the u2 hold me thrill me kiss me kill me single from batman forever. got korn’s life is peachy, and the nine inch nails import closer single disc 2 (i had disc one, then bought the domestic rerelease so never was in a hurry to pay 15$ for disc 2…got it for 2 dolla). got my friend Em in Utah a special gift too hahaha. she’ll love it.
so now i just get to go to work.
mhmm cut at 8 or 9 my ass. got out at 20 after 10. ug. it was crazy. we were waiting for tables for 4 hours. but i had fun, me and the boys. we stuck allstar at the door, so he wouldn’t be bugging us all night. it was fun. now off to brooke’s party.
switched shifts with nick on thursday…working close thursday, he’s working my swing friday. so that’ll be nice. then going out saturday.
