Blog Posts That Somehow Didn't Get Me Fired #2

Almost forgot about this one until a reminder showed up in the mail bag tonight. Original air date, December 21st, 2007:

I May Be Single Handedly Responsible For Every Chain Pharmacy In This Country Being Woefully Understaffed

Why? Because Corpo-pharmacy bigwigs know that the very second I am not drowning in prescriptions, things like this start happening to their displays.




The horses have been going at it for two days now. If anyone bothers to notice, and figure out the source, It'll probably make my lobbying for more tech help a little harder.

Does make the 12 hour day go a bit quicker though.

I remember that one. Heh!!!!

Here's hint for RiteAid: Back in the early stages of my career, I worked for a chain about to close all their stores in the area. Losing money is not easy, and one way they tried to save money was by.....turning off half the lights at all times. Yep. No kidding. A non-profitable store and you decide to turn off half the lights, leaving whatever customers left in a half-dim store. When we knew the end-date for the store, the customer service people filled the speakers with whatever music they liked instead of the muzak. Guns and Roses blasted through the grocery store speakers and certainly perked up the workers. The customers had already fled the dark, dungeon-like store, now only filled with non-perishables like canned corn, turkey basters and lighter fuel, so why not get the whole rave experience going?

David,
Please come to Wyoming. We're short. There are quite a few independent pharmacies here. I realize that you're a metropolitan kind of guy, and that small-town conservatives may stick in your craw, but... think about it. The view of the mountains never gets old. The air is clean. There are trout in the streams. You can heal here.

What about the post of what you did with the old auxillary stickers on a roll (rectal use only. At least, I think it was you

It's easy to understand how you got away with that post. It went right over the heads of the executives, Dumb and Dumber.

I spent 16 years in Wyoming. Don't go there.

I couldn't stop laughing!

Saw what I thought was a toddler's shirt in one chain store that read "I love tail" - then I realized it was for a dog -- it was disgusting even when I knew it was for a dog.

The I love tail shirt hangs proudly in my cvs. Walk by it daily!

So, so, sorry to hear you've been fired. If it's any comfort to you, Rite Aid has fired me three times and rehired me twice. (This last time I just went on social security.)
What I find appalling is their cynicism. Or maybe it's a profound ignorance of history. They know that labor is so beaten down that they can post such a sign publicly without arousing outrage in the community. My guess is the signs will come down, now, thanks to you, along with whoever was responsible for posting them, and even the memory of them. Then they will happily rehire you, your firing being just another mistake made by previous management.
