Continuing my series of formerly work related memes:

If you’ve frequented any of the “dollar stores” I’m sure that you’ve noticed that they’re regularly understaffed–sadly, it is by design–and as such, see their fair share of shoplifting. I cannot remember what exactly had been discussed in the group chat, but I would imagine it had something to do with one of us attempting to thwart a shoplifter, or having made the discovery of any number of empty packages on a shelf somewhere.

At one point in my career with the company, I found myself in an awful location where I could not keep any help, nor find any help worthy of hiring. Prior to moving into that store, I had been promised the help and support of my fellow managers and their crews, as that store in particular was known to be one of the more difficult ones in the district to run, and was the district’s top grossing store.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find myself receiving much assistance. It was actually this store that started to turn me a bit bitter toward the rest of our district’s management team, and gave me the inspiration to start start sending memes to the group, as I had grown very tired of the regular, proper and professional memo or message, updating everyone to my needs and status.

I was told by a couple of managers that they actually liked the image above and the one below, and that they felt sympathy for my struggles. 🙄

I did manage to keep myself more-or-less in check, however, as I know I never sent this one–though I was tempted:

In the previous post, I said that I would frequently share different images with my peers pertaining to the job in some fashion or another–usually to try and release some tension, emotions, or just to try and be a bit comical. Sometimes, what I would send would simply be a reply to something that our district manager had said about the business–more often than not, that reply would be reflective of myself being a bit of a smart-aleck.

I cannot remember what I would’ve sent this as a reply to, but given the date I have for the image–December 18, 2018–I would guess that it has something to do with the shopping season, or the delay of store deliveries.

---

Obviously, this would have been in response to my agreement with whatever had been said in the group; no clue as to what I would have been replying to.

---

I’m fairly certain that I sent this in response to a reminder or announcement of a follow-up conference call.

And I think I’ll wrap up this post with this image. The story on this one is I wanted to express what I felt my district manager felt of me and my varied responses and comment in our group chat–Hank Hill’s favorite thing to say in response to his son’s odd behavior’s came to mind. To make things seem more fitting, I attempted to color Hank’s hair grey, and have Hank’s shirt colored and patterned like that of one our DM would wear. I doubt anyone really appreciated it, but I thought it was funny.
