Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:56:29 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/merchandiser50/bad_haircut_day.html I'm off to the Poconos from our Long Island home for two nights in our home there before taking our daughter to Suny at Binghamton where she is a sophmore and working as an RA-(resident assistant) so has to be on campus two weeks before other students. Anyway-went for a haircut two days ago-in a bit of a rush too. I like two of the 10 hairstylists or so, One was out. My barber was there. Place was empty so I waited.One other customer waiting for my barber too-middle aged guy-a bit older th ... Mon, 4 Aug 2008 16:15:40 GMT http://greasy.com/merchandiser50/parking_ticket.html I am boiling mad about an undeserved parking ticket I got with my wife a couple of weeks ago. Our NOT guilty defense on line already was responded to with no reduction of an outrageous $165 summons. We visited my wife's uncle at a nearby nursing home where he was on the rehabilitation floor recovering from a fall at his apartment. I parked on a residential street to avoid the $3 parking fee. Upon our return was the familiar New York City orange summons envelope. I supposedly was parked blo ... Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:44:13 GMT http://greasy.com/merchandiser50/car_anyway.html Here's an odd but true tale. My wife and I came home to our home in Queens, NY after picking up our daughter from Binghamton as her freshman year is over. We live in an attached townhouse. I told our next door neighbor we were picking up our daughter but we have a neighbor across the street take in our mail. Our next door neighbors are not reliable as we have learned from experience when it comes to taking in our mail. Anyway-We came home on a saturday afternoon. We left on a thursday. My ... Tue, 20 May 2008 01:24:58 GMT http://greasy.com/merchandiser50/supermarket_adventures.html I don't know about where you live, but in the Long Island/New York City area,it seems every time you know where to find an item in a supermarket,it gets moved again to another location. The repetitive,insane,pointless,unnecessary, and frustrating relocating of products is happening again. AND I should know. I work for a national sales and merchandise company and my team of workers move the merchandise constantly from shelf to shelf or aisle to aisle...for no reason except to disrupt the sh ... Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:38:37 GMT http://greasy.com/merchandiser50/icecream_nightmare.html My wife is tired of me complaining about work so I've decided to complain here. I work as a merchandiser in supermarkets in the NYC/Long Island area mostly working with a team doing resets.Basically we move items around in sections of stores according to asinine plan-o-grams made up by imbeciles who have no concept of what the sections look like after we implement their plans. Well today was icecream. My partner and I rearranged 7 doors of novelties like pops and ices and sandwiches. The h ... Wed, 9 Apr 2008 01:25:30 GMT
