The Big Visit

December 3, 2010: The Big Visit

So due to our massive sales during Thanksgiving the corporate office has decided to pay a visit to the store to congratulate us on our great week.  The president of the company and several of his peons were set to visit the store this afternoon.  Everyone was scrambling to make the store presentable and beautiful.

Our department was completely clean.  We just have one bad habit of playing trash can basketball when we are too lazy to walk over and throw something away.  Just as I was taking a shot (which went in) who came down the aisle but the president of the company and his lackeys.  I figured I would get a talking to, but all they did was come over to the department and say "Nice shot!"  They went on to praise the work we had done and praise the sales we had made.

"I know it was a difficult week for you all, but your effort truly shows.  You are one of the few bakeries in the entire company that does not bring store sales percentages down.  You are always beating the sales you had from last year and that is impressive.  I congratulate you all for a great year and thank you for your service." - President of the company

It was nice to finally get some praise and recognition.  In this job we usually go day in and day out working so hard and just getting crap at the end of the day.  It may not be a white collar position, but we do our best work for this company.

Until Next Time...

Stay Sweet,
