Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

evening from Salida, Colorado! Tomorrow Quiz and I are running a 5K in which we are both going for a personal record. Will let Lodge know if we succeed or not.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Launch Crew rep has been sent. Cutter crew rep will go out at 13:45 tomorrow.

You guys haven't started a new rep routine have you? I mean... after all, aren't we all at max rep? I still have not recovered from the last one.

I'm not one to usually ask for thoughts/prayers/what-have-you, but my best friend's nephew was born at 28 weeks last night (for those not in the know, human gestation should be about 38 weeks). He's in the NICU and is touch and go. The brother-in-law suffers from severe attacks of MS. Any good thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Prayers and thoughts sent....

Just got an email nobody wants to get. One of the fellow cadets here was working on his car this afternoon/evening, and apparently something happened and he has passed. I didn't know him, but the cadet regiment is sort of one large fraternity, you all have each others back so to speak. Gonna make for a downer weekend and next week, I imagine. Send some prayers to NYC for his friends and family if you can

More prayers and thoughts...

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

They did it because they know you won't tell them to go to another line.

Oh, I would, but as someone else said, I can't. But boy. I wish I could.

Possibly...I know we're going to have all new shelving stuff. It's only going to go about 4.5 to 5 feet high like at a gas station. Food Ave is supposedly going away in favor of a Starbuck's and we'll be carrying almost all food items a SuperTarget does (which will take up half the store) not including fresh produce/meat/cheese. Clothing section will be a bout 1/4 the size as it is now...

The Walmart that I work at just opened two months ago (updated from a non-Super to a Super). One of the largest in the country and the second largest in Michigan. Why Walmart thought we needed the second largest store in Michigan located in Sault Ste. Marie is WAY beyond me. Then again, it IS Walmart.

We do get a lot of Canadians, though. And 99% of them are idiots.

A lot of the departments are smaller now that we're a Super, and boy do people b* about it. Have fun with that. It's great to have a customer come up to the register and say, "How do you like the new store?" and when you reply that it is nice and the skylights are fantastic, they tell you all the reasons it sucks and the old Walmart was better. I really just want to look them in the eye at that point and tell them to shop at K-Mart

You should tell them "Dude, you're at Wal-Mart. What do you expect?" Worked for me when I worked at Meijer during college summers.

Good thoughts being sent. nmu_27 was also born 10 weeks premature. Aside from a lazy eye, he turned out fine I hope everything goes well for your friend's family!

Evening Lodge!

Been a bit ill since Wednesday. Sneezy, scratchy throat, mild fatigue. I doubt it, but I kinda hope it's H1N1, because if that's all it can do, it isn't that bad and I'd be immune afterward.

(Or not, because that would mean the Cheyenne VAMC is now piggy flu central.)

sounds familiar. I've had similar symptoms since last Saturday, developed a bit of a cough/congestion recently. Nothing too alarming though really, just more of an annoyance.

I thought I was coming down with a cold, but that was more from me leaving the windows open in the house when it's getting into the high 40's at night than anything else.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Hi winger. Welcome to the board.

It's never a good idea to start college with a bf (if that's what this is in reference to, if not, oh well...I'm still gonna ramble on). I ditched the HS sweetheart before I went away to college. Maybe the long distance thing factored into that. Too many options at college, who wants to be tied down to just one (especially if hundreds of miles away)?

Thanks!
And I opted to go the whore route in college. I should consider that again.

Hi Winger!

Who is this Winger whom everyone is saying "Hi" to?

Left over from a very bad hair band.

Some n00b.

Can we discuss the Big 10 Hockey league?

Hey lodge. I'm in northern kentucky, just across from cincy. We're on our way to drink, just like we did in college. By the way, being in kentucky is like being in a huge wal-mart.

I have been to northern kentucky, I can verify this statement as true.

Hi kids. I'm not getting all caught up here but the interview went very well today and it turns out I may be a wanted man at Sirius because if I don't get the particular job I interviewed for they want to get me in there with a show somehow.

Hooray!!!!

That stinks. My thoughts and prayers heading your way.


Man it is really hard to follow this thread if you are not in here often.

Well how 'bout that, eh?

Awesome news! Best of luck, GLM!

Hi my name is winger and I am new to the board.

Hi winger!

Sending plenty of good thoughts that way!

Evening, Lodge! Boring day at work. I'm still wondering why we need people to demo Snuggle...

And as of today, one month until the Grand Rapids marathon. Got a 16 mile run tomorrow, and a 20 miler next week.

No, just doing this in honor of the 2 year anniversary of reaching max rep, considering that I haven't handed out much rep in the last 2 years either, I needed to get back on Ralph's list.

The Walmart that I work at just opened two months ago (updated from a non-Super to a Super). One of the largest in the country and the second largest in Michigan. Why Walmart thought we needed the second largest store in Michigan located in Sault Ste. Marie is WAY beyond me. Then again, it IS Walmart.

We do get a lot of Canadians, though. And 99% of them are idiots.

Up until the day I left Grand Forks I still heard complaints about Target moving...7 years ago. It added a minute of driving time, two if you got caught at the light. They also thought our store was too big. When Wal Mart became a SuperCenter those stopped though. People just like to complain.

FWIW...I've had Ontarians and Albertans apologize on behalf of Canada for the dooshbaggery of Manitobans while at our store. Be happy you don't work for tips...they think 10% is a good tip.

I've wanted to tell people to take their *** to Wal Mart on a daily basis...(no offense)

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

I have no desire anymore to watch D-2 football. I just got the lawn mowed (I didn't do anything last night, either) and came in and flipped on the Clinton game. 21-0 late first. Great *ing league.

Eh, I figured as much about the Ferris game.

Clinton 47, BD 14 I'll take it.

I swear to Christ.

What possesses a person to come through an express checkout with SIXTY-FIVE items?

I mean, really. It doesn't even have to be 65. How about 49, or 35? Because that all happened today. And I wanted to kill all of them.

RAWR. My GOD are people stupid.

Honestly, people like that should be taken out back, tied up, and shot to wound, left there and then shot again in a week. The only excuse you should have for that is because you're legally blind with a seeing eye dog.

She can't. If she does they get irate and ask to speak to a manager...and she gets in trouble.

Apparently someone called the store today saying she lived a ways away and had 5 of our carts in her backyard and wanted us to come get them. After she was told she needed to bring them back herself since we don't have the resources and they are not supposed to leave our parking lot she got mad and demanded we do it. The person that took the call then informed her that the carts were around $400 a piece and she was looking at a felony possesion of stolen property charge if she did not return them...

I think I would have said, "Sure! We'll send somebody right on over to pick them up from you." And then called the cops on here for it. She wanted somebody to come pick them up right??

We could be shipping stuff out next week for that. IIRC it was something like 1000 line items (as in, each particular product, no matter the quantity, counts as a line item). We've had one of our guys put in about 6 hours a day on it all this week, and we're about 1/2 done.

Edit: and it's not the orders that * me off, it's the fact that each pallet has to be laid out EXACTLY the same, including labels on the shrink wrap on each pallet. And there's usually around 60-80 pallets. Yeah.

Oh quit whining that you gotta get off of your forklift.

Thats a bummer dude.

I thought I was coming down with a cold, but that was more from me leaving the windows open in the house when it's getting into the high 40's at night than anything else.

Yeah, lately the lymph nodes in my neck have been a bit swollen, and sinus have been kinda feeling funny. Could just be some residual thats left in my neck from when the horse about took my head off as well.

Oh, and some more good news. I did catch that cat that bit me Wednesday night this morning and he's going to have a nice ten day stay with the Lenawee County Animal Control.
