Ok so I suck at trying to keep up with my blogger, but this last week has been so full of humor and adventure that I simply HAVE to record it down before my poor memory kicks in and I forget the hilarious details.
So, back up about a month ago to when our beloved boss Shelby gets fired on the spot (for literally no reason other then the company trying to save a buck) they give her no notice, pay her no vacation or any sort of payout at all...just leave her jobless.
As you might imagine that kind of pissed us off at the store....ALL of us. So we figure if the idiots were so stupid as to fire her 3 weeks before Valentines day (bigger for us then Christmas) we wanted to punish them: hit them where it hurt....their money.
Not petty stealing, we wanted to lose them money legally...
So we all just stay put, act like nothing is amiss make the district manager think everything is hunkydory, then a few days ago on the 11th....MASS WALK OUT BABY!!!!!
Every. Single. Employee
(except gary, but due to personal financial reason, we understood his situation)...other then that, they had NOBODY left for Valentines day weekend. Not enough trained employees in the valley to borrow from other stores (They obviously need them for their own stores for Vday) and not enough time to train anybody new.
So as a united show of defiance (Plus we needed to see the madness and pick up our paystubs) we all met up together outside of the mall and walked into Godiva together. Naturally being the gigantic nerds we all are, we couldnt just go in there looking normal, we thought it would be freaking AWESOME if we wore cheesey fake mustaches and went "Incognito"...Hahahahaha
As we hoped, it was absolute chaos...everyone was running around frantically, there were lines that were taking upwards of an hour to ring up and even longer waits to build custom chocolate boxes and not to mention the girl they got for dipping was gross, wearing no gloves and touching her hair as she dipped....one of our numbers with us (Vicki) actually had a Strawberry order to pick up, but upon seeing the state of the girl dipping and the look of the berries, she got her money back.....here is a picture of her "Elegant striped strawberries"
Wow...
Annnnnd heres my typical wedding berry order....
But it was a total madhouse and work just how we wanted it to, in the end it wont make much of a difference in the company, but to us it meant very much and made us feel good!
Then pink insisted we ended our adventure filled day at BJ's and got mountains of "Happy Fries"...yes....Happy Fries....hahahha
Twas a Good day. :)
