Funny Conversation 3

Customer came into the store.. and asked for the movie “The Forgotten” .. we just got it in .. like a few minutes ago.. and our store manager was setting it up.
He has a game..and asked if he could have it held till Thursday… we said .. sure.. and outta courtesy.. i asked him.. where he is working now.

Me : Where are you working now??
Customer : At Price Chopper… but i don’t want to.
Me : Oooohhh.. How come…???
Customer: No one called me back for an interview from anywhere else, not even here.
Me : You didn’t send in a resume here..??
Customer : I did..! but i didn’t get hired or called ..
Me : Ooopss..!! ohhh..!! Ok.. (could have slap myself at this time) hehe!!
Me : You did.. ??!!??? (looking at store manager & she nodded, so at this time.. i think i REALLY could slap myself)
Customer : Are you still looking.. to hire…???
Me : (walked aside) .. heh!! i think you better ask the store manager.. she does all the hiring.. heheh!! (playing tai-chi now coz’ obviously by now.. there must be a reason why our store manager didn’t call him up for an interview)

Ugly Duckling and a Princess

 

For those who wants to know how MamaBoK look like.. heheheheh!! This was taken when Chloe was born, she was just a few months old.. I didn’t change much.. i donch think anyways. No make up on.. or anything.  I would love to take more pics of me and the brat but since i’m usually the photographer.. i donch get to have my picture taken alot.

We train our employees well

We have several ppl who ripped us off.. by renting console games from us.. and not returning them.. so they are on our Wall of Shame.. on it says.. this jerks ripped us off.. and have been sent to collections.
Well .. one such person is MN.. ripped us off.. 3 new games. .and never came back. Anyhow.. he now gets his sister MC to rent for him.. but before she come to pick up the game.. he would call.. and reserve the game. Our employee.. Minnie.. knew it was MN over the phone… and asked him who he was.. he said he was “Jack” .. so Minnie told “Jack” .. watever game you wanna know if they are in or not.. is not.. so Jack.. watever game you want.. it is not in.
Another such person is Sh.Lt. Today he came in with a new g/f also by the name of Hea apparently.. coz’ his old g/f is call Hea.. and wanted to rent 2 movies. Minnie our employee asked her for a major credit card.. and she got smart with Minnie.. and asked her why is that so..??!!?? Minnie told her.. “yer think we are so stupid to be ripped off twice..??” She didn’t say anything.. and left with Sh. Lt. Boy..!! these assholes think that our staff are stupid or wat..???!!??? that we wouldn’t recognise them..?? or they think that we don’t own the store.. since they don’t see us at the store..???
Well.. assholes.. i’ve got a message for you … WE TRAIN OUR EMPLOYEES WELL..!!!

Role Model

It is very interesting.. when some ppl already know that they are actually in the wrong truthfully.. or that they are the one doing someone else an injustice in truth.. but wouldn’t admit to it…. even if their life depended on it. They would instead .. have to go around.. justifying to themselves.. by telling others… very quickly and dramatically…. about wat had happened to them.. and wat injusticed was done to them. .. when in actual fact .. no one give a damn shit about them or their life… or wat they do.
This is an example of wat i’m talking about.. heheheheh!! Customer : I met so and so .. at my store. It came in for something.
Me : Uh-huh
Customer : So and so.. tot i knew IT quit and i guess so and so wanted to find out wat you had said about IT… to me.
Me : Uh-huh
Customer : Oh God ! So and so talked non-stopped, telling me ITS life stories and then complaining that you had IT life on the internet. And i had nothing to tell IT .. coz’ you didn’t say anything. And i was thinking.. if IT had read it on the internet.. that means IT knows right..??? it’s not like you were sneaky or anything.. duh..!!!
Me : LOL… Uh-huh.
Customer : Oh God! I know so and so from school and as if I didn’t know “IT” and its kind.
Me : LOL. Oh well… we really didn’t see a need to justify anything to anyone.
Customer : Yes and I knew it that IT just wouldn’t be here for long.
Me : LOL .. and you didn’t tell me about it…???!!?? “rolling my eyes”
Customer : I tot ppl might change.
Me : LOL .. Uhhhh.. obviously not.
Customer : I should have known better.. it’s “IT” we are talking about. IT said IT wasn’t gonna step into your store anymore and that you used to be best friends. Well .. save you the effort from kicking it outta the store .. i guess… LOL.
Me: LOL .. LOL .. yer funny.. Oh well… and to set the record straight … IT isn’t my best friend nor friend. IT was a customer .. an aquaintance. If IT was a friend .. i would have invited IT to my new house right..??? And I didn’t… so how can IT be my good friend or friend..??? And friends don’t behave the way IT did. Obviously .. IT isn’t. And go ask IT .. if i ever call IT..???!!?? NEVER..!! LOL
Customer: I wish so and so don’t come to my store either. Boy .. IT talk my ear off everytime.
Me : One way to do it i guess.. LOL !! Ok.. ok.. sick joke.
Customer : I don’t know how to use the computer .. and I no computer too.. if not i will… LOL Anyway IT is not here anymore. Yer’ll be fine now. And i wouldn’t have known anything different had IT not come to tell me its life story.
Me : LOL. .. Yup.
Customer : All i know is that you did nothing wrong.. and you were absolutely the best to IT. As far as I am concern.
Me : I wouldn’t say best but we weren’t bad to IT nor demanded anything spectacular for IT to perform at work, so if IT wants to go and make ITself look politically right, its IT right .. right..???!!?? And i really have nothing to say about IT. Trust me.. not a thing..!! As far as I am concern… i am only too glad… that IT did wat IT did. I thank God everyday.Now.. this is wat i was musing about for a long time now :

I asked myself this… wat kinda role model will this person be to IT kid .. for IT had a kid with IT. Children pick after their parents.. like a magnet to the fridge. I asked myself this ….wat values do i want to impart to my child..??? One that is the way IT behaved..??? at work & socially..??? Would i avoid IT at all cost.. and treat IT like a plague..???!!?? for behaving the way IT did..???

As a mom.. i realised…. that i have such a huge responsibility… to teach and bring my child up the right way. It may not be the best… i may do things wrongly.. but for sure… from now on.. i am going to reflect everytime.. i say something or do something… and remember wat impact it will be on my child, wat do i want my child to become.. when she is a toddler……. a pre-teen .. a teenager… and an adult….. ??

This is wat i wish for my chloe, that she grows up .. to be gentle….. to be kind.. compassionate.. have integrity…. honest… responsible… all the good qualities .. anyone can think of.. have a great sense of humor… i want my child to be brave.. and not be afraid to speak her mind….. but not to hurt anyone.. and be able stand up to wat she believe in… someone that ppl around her would be blessed by knowing her.. and for ppl to be willing to come forward.. and lend a helping hand.. when she needs it.

Therefore…. i’m somewat.. awaken.. by wat IT was doing.. and the conversation above…. wat will i be teaching my child… if i went on .. and stooped as low as IT.. and bad-mouthed her ..??? I would eventually have an adult.. who is always unhappy.. and bad-mouthed everyone.. just because she is not getting her way. Do i want that..???? Do i want.. that my child… to be a little tyrant.. when she is a pre-teen..??? and must have her way…??? I sincerely hope not… therefore….. i am gonna be very careful.. from now on.. and think .. before i say .. or act upon anything.

And how can i achieve ….. bringing up my daughter to be a all the above..? with all the good values..and qualities ??? Everything begins.. with the way .. i behaved.. and act.. and relate to others.. Action speaks louder than words they say.

When i wrote wat i wrote in my blog.. it was not to hurt IT .. and i hardly said a damn thing..!! about IT. Plus I really don’t need to justify my blog to anyone or anything. But one thing for sure…. I’m only too happy .. that we found out wat IT was like before more damage is done… with ITs incessant need to gossip and tell us the life-stories of anyone or anything who walks into our establishment… I don’t want my child to be this way…. therefore I shall refrain from doing the things i don’t want my child to do .. from this day forth. AaaaaMen!

PS:- For the records, this conversation took place a long time ago.. and it trigger me to write it up… because i wanna constantly remind myself.. what kinda role model i wanna be for my daughter.

Congrats!

If i haven’t congratulated our a friend that we know for many years now… congrats..!! for being a new house owner.. How many 20yrs old .. owns a house..??!!!???? I didn’t for sure.. when i was 20..
Sure.. sure. .i owned my first house at 29 .. but that’s still 9yrs after you.. so i congratulate you..!!
I’m happy for yer … because yer are happy..!!
I wanna let yer know.. that yer are the sweetest person .. i’ve known here … and i wish yer happiness. You deserve nothing but the bestest..!!

Secrets

We learnt a secret from one of our ex-employee.. !!! Wow..!! this is SUPER DUPER NEWS..!! I can’t believe it’s true..!!!
Vanguard..Vanguard…!!!! Where are yer…???
Vanguard is our local papers..

Well .. acutally i didn’t hear it first hand.. someone else was in the store at that time… and had overheard it. So i shall not repeat it.. coz’ our resolution is not to listen to gossips.. remember..??!!?? kekekeke!!
But now we know………………… dark secrets………!!! hehehehhe..! just joking..!!

Too normal?

Everything is going too well at the store…!! it’s too norm..!!! Staff in charge for every shift is doing great.. And every employee seems to be working really hard. We are getting alot of application of late… and i donch know why..?? since all position has been filled for a long time now.
My BA man is still working with us… and might i add.. working out real well.. prolly will be raising his pay again next month.
I donch have to go in too much at the store..and can concentrate on my own stuff. The weather has been real good..
Friends has been coming to the store..and offering all sorts of help.. and goodies…
My MIL has been coming to help me alot lately..!!
My best customers are still coming in every other day. Not necessary spending money.. but coming to chat .. and visit. I like tat alot.. most of our customer/s become friends eventually.
Everything is just too norm ..and too good.. !!!
I better start counting my blessings.. and thank someone up there. NO..???

Remittance & Payroll

It was Remittance and Payroll together yesterday. Yes.. we pay our employees every week without fail on a friday. Remittance is done .. on the 15th of each month at the lastest. And with Remittance .. comes Worker’s compensation .. that we have to pay on a monthly basis too.
My spouse has been in business for 8 year this coming August… and i’m very proud to say.. that we have never once missed payroll… remittance or worker’s comp. My spouse is very conscientious about all these.. and never wants to owe the employees nor the government.. and for that.. i applaud him. Every month.. even before the due date arrived.. my spouse has everything ready.
I know .. he tries his hardest .. to do the right thing always.. and for that.. i’m sure .. that’s the reason why our suppliers never wanna lose our business.
I never ever have to worry.. that someone would come and knock at our door for payment of any kind. I am truly blessed.
