Well first off let me just say I had a great time at Poker night and look forward to the next one. For those that read my blog and don’t know what I’m talking about, tonight the community group I am a member of, The Phoenix Projects (http://phoenixprojects.org), put on a poker night as a fundraiser. Anyhow one of the things that makes me happy is the fact that for the past few poker nights we’ve had I didn’t have enough chips at the end of the night to get this little dragon sculpture that I needed to even out my collection. You see on my dresser I have three big wizard sculptures and two little ones and until tonight I had three big dragon sculptures and only one small one so it was a little unbalanced, but now that I had enough chips I was able to get the dragon that had eluded me for months and balance out my collection.
Ok now that that’s out of the way and I still have more words to type I guess I’ll tell another Spee-D-Foods story. This story only involves two other people besides me; my pretty cool co-worker who I’ll call Bruce and a frequent customer by the name of “Wayne”. Well Bruce and I had been working together and closing together for a few months, and he was I pretty cool guy. Well one day he and I were closing and a few punk kids came into the store paid for about 60 dollars worth of gas made a huge mess in the restroom and left, without pumping their gas. So here we had some kids who left without getting the full 60 dollars of gas. Well the night went on and the kids never came back for the money. Well at the end of the night we have to makes sure there is no purchases pending on the register. Well we had to clear out the refund in the register. Since it was closing time and it had been about five hours since the kids trashed the restroom, we decided to accept it as a tip. Looking back I know I should have taken it out set it aside and left a note for my boss, but that’s not what we did.
So at closing time Wayne was in the store and Bruce and I decided we’d spend our tip on some Smirnov Ice. We each got a six pack, and after our work was done we clocked out and while waiting for the registers to produce the paperwork we went over to the tables that were set up for eating hot dogs or whatever and the three of us started drinking and bs-ing for about an hour. Little did we know that this would be Bruce’s last night there. The next day he was fired for smoking weed out the back door. So I guess it was kinda fitting that we did that the night before, after all how many people can say on the last night they worked at a job they got drunk? The best part was the store manager never knew about that night or, if he did he didn’t care.

Wow what a fitting card for the story I just told! I don’t think I could handle that though since hot stuff doesn’t exactly agree with my throat.

A Chapter in the Spee-D-Foods Saga
Well yesterday I had so much fun talking about some of my past experiences that I figured tonight I’d do a different chapter the chapter I will call the Spee-D-Foods Saga since this mainly deals with the year or so I worked at a convenience store in Stow, OH by the name of Spee-D-Foods. Working there was like watching a soap opera and occasionally being sucked into the storylines.
Well first of all let me do the whole disclaimer thing. The stories you are about to read are true to the best of my knowledge and memory names have been changed to protect the innocent and not so innocent. Ok now that that’s out of the way let me introduce you to the main cast of characters. First there is Rick, the store manager; then you have Rick’s wife and mother to their son, also an employee, by the name of Missy; another key player was a fellow employee who became the assistant store manager Stacy. There are other minor characters but for today’s part of the saga I’ll start with the juiciest story of all.
Our story began around Thanksgiving time, I think, well one day when Missy and Stacy were working together a man came in and Missy started to flirt with him. Well this guy, I’ll call him Bill, kept coming in whenever Missy would work, and they would flirt with each other. Well eventually Stacy convinced Missy to ask him out. Bill, seeing that Missy was not bad looking, said yes. Well many nights Missy and Stacy would go out and they would meet up with Bill at one of the bars.
This went on for quite some time eventually involving me to help cover. Yes, unfortunately, I helped out this little fiasco but it was mainly because I had a thing for Stacy but looking back I regret it and would not do it again. I was young, yes early twenties is young, single and had a thing for Stacy I was blinded so get over it. Anyhow back to the story, well helping them out helped me out as well you see I was offered to run a spot light for my best friend Eric at an exclusive New Year’s Eve party for a lot more money than I would have made if I worked at the store. So when Rick told me I couldn’t get it off even though Missy wanted to work it with Stacy I came up with a plan with help from Stacy and Missy. On the 29th while I was working I pretended to be getting sick so sick that I had to be sent home early by Stacy whom I was working with that night. Well I was sent home I went to Youngstown and called off on the 31st. Well the night of the 31st after the store was closed Stacy and Missy went out and partied like they planned.
This kept up for a few more months until one day after Stacy either quit or got fired, I forget which, she came in and told Rick the whole story, minus the whole part of my fake sickness. She told him how Missy and Bill even made out in the restroom and how they would make up stories to tell Rick so that he would watch the security tape of days other than when Bill and Missy would make out in the store. Rick confronted Missy about it and they fought. Missy even yelled at me thinking I told and Rick yelled at me for not telling him. After things calmed down Missy apologized to me and things got back to normal, or as normal as they can be at Spee-D-Foods.

That could be a fun one to do, if you have a working cellphone.
