Yup, it's pretty fun overall. If you're ever bored, and need money and stories, then I'd suggest being employed by the food-industry for a period of time. It will be hard/tedious work at times, but the experience is well worth it.
Almost forgot these, too:
"Wait, Boss-man has what in his desk?"
This got brought up yesterday. Sharp, Maria, and I were talking, and Maria started joking about using scissors she pulled out of her purse as a weapon (don't know why she had large sewing scissors in her purse, but whatever). I started talking about my martial arts background and Sharp brought up the fact that Boss-man has a semi-automatic pistol in his desk drawer in back-office. Needless to say, my interest was piqued and started asking questions about it given my shooting background. Apparently, in the event of a shooting/armed assault in the store, Boss-man will take care of business. Also-according to Maria-if the pistol malfunctions, he has a big-ass knife, too. Maria described Boss-man as a Ninja Turtle for some reason (lol). Anyway, don't mess with locally-owned businesses, they don't have a corporate pencil-pusher telling you "no employee/employer -owned weapon on the premises". In the case of some family-owned business (depending on one's state), their business is an extension of the home, which means it's protected under the same laws governing the defense of one's home. We even have a can of pepper-spray under the registers, too. They probably need to be replaced though.
Free Buckets
This is just an interesting fact. Well, our jellies and fillings come in these large 25lbs/~11.3Kg buckets. When they're empty, we're allowed to clean them out and take them home. This perk is a lot better than meets the eye. These buckets are unwanted by Boss-man and typically get thrown out or donated to whomever wants them. Well, these buckets have gasket lids and hold a lot of things, and they would typically go for $12USD/per unit in a hardware store We go through these jellies enough that we'll have a bucket or two a week to take home.
"You know what I should do before Halloween, Mother?"
This is a funny one. Mother is scared of horror movies and anything creepy, and we constantly talk about Stephen King's It, in particular how much Pennywise, the dancing clown, scares Mother. Anyway, when I come to work in the early hours, the front doors are closed so I have to knock on the side-door to be let it. I asked Mother, "How would you feel if you heard knocking on the door, went to open it, and I just put a single red balloon out there?"
Her response (without hesitation), "I'll chase you down with hot grease"
