I WORK AT PENCILS: February 2013

YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTING ME!

It's the start of my 2nd week as an associate in OS and my lard ass GM tells me I'm now in charge of cleaning the bathrooms. This was no joke, and I flat out told him, "I don't clean fuckin' bathrooms at Pencils." He then told me he was going to write me up. I told him to clean up his own shit, and quit. I only make this point because the customers at Pencils can't seem to use the toilet in a normal, civilized way. Why? Can anyone enlighten me on how people can shit everywhere but in the actual bowl? Is it Pencils, or other retailers too?

Mission Statement

I don't have a MBA from Harvard nor did I attend the Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania. In fact, I barely graduated from high school, but I would like to meet the genius at PENCILS who came up with this business plan: Sell laptop computers and other high-end merchandise below cost to generate floor traffic, then rely on low paid, part-time employees to sell customers crap they don't need (expensive anti-virus software, Microsoft products, 3 Year Extended Service Plans and other add-ons) in hopes of generating a profit. These are my stories.
