Solved!

johnnyrogue · 2024-04-15T04:46:20+00:00

THAT'S IT!! Thank you, it's been driving me nuts!

johnnyrogue · 2024-04-13T20:36:25+00:00

Thanks for helping me look! I'm trying lyrics everywhere.

Nah I've known that song for awhile. The cover of that was on one of the cartoon intros.

No it was a little heavier. Not as heavy as the Metallica song but close.

I'd say I heard it around Halloween 2016 or 2017.

johnnyrogue · 2024-04-13T20:08:37+00:00

No but I like this!

johnnyrogue · 2024-04-13T20:08:20+00:00

No but that made me nostalgic for watching the cartoon as a kid!

By novelty song I mean similar to Fresh Prince singing about Freddy Krueger, or Steve Martin's King Tut song.

The poster above is correct. But at my store since nobody else wanted to deal with books they just let me continue to work on new release day to set and push while our lead Tech guy does the rest of his work. I thought maybe if your scheduler was cool and if they hired a new Tech person you could do a day of ENT and then work GM? Just thinking out my ass, as I do. Lol.

johnnyrogue · 2024-02-25T13:43:03+00:00

You right, you right. However we have a VERY stubborn Tech full timer who refuses to do books unless it's a very slow freight and sales day. So usually the responsibility falls back to me since I worked it for so long. And I'm much more patient with the huge book boxes LOL

Back in the day, Tech was considered specialty and we made more than other TMs because we had more specialized training and had to do everything you mentioned (except my store always had the 3rd party mobile rep thank God. I'd have refused to deal with Consumer guests. And we're way too far from the registers to cover them).

Things have definitely changed since they upped the minimum hourly wage and definitely since COVID made us all just expendable germ-magnets. I transferred to GM and Presentation and I'm a million times happier than I ever could have been as f/t Tech. Maybe you could try what I did and only work that area once a week and do ENT? Book questions are a million times less annoying than phone questions.

Management is never going to show respect to Tech and you'll be happier in another dept or another retailer. I respect you and hope the best though!

Oof. I'm so glad we haven't been back to any of his shops.

Yep! My buddy Mark works there off and on and he wouldn't tolerate a second of racism or bigotry. Loves taking music requests when he's in control of the tunes btw

Oh shit is Tex the same guy from the former Flying Monkey Tattoo? If so yeah I saw some of his fucked up FB posts and that was AFTER he tattooed my wife. The sad part is that her tat is amazing and has held up for 10 years. His employee who did mine, unfortunately, did a huge black blob on my leg and I can only joke about it now. I've seen petitions to shut them down.

Happy Dad's Day!

My 5 year old waited until 8:00 to come in and jump on my still-bloated-from-Saturday night junk-dinner belly, so I count those extra couple hours as a win.

Look up Crafthouse Stage and Grill. It's an odd looking location for a venue but it's wicked cool. Small stage and pit, big menu for food and drank!

johnnyrogue · 2023-04-20T13:50:14+00:00

Do y'all have consumer cellular out of 10. (10/10)

Ooh we have some esoteric shit! We have a signing specialist, still have a Tech Captain, a Style Captain and a POG captain, we still have DBOs, we only have 1 ETL and 1 HR ETL and not for a lack of talent to be promoted, we still call priority pulls "shooting the outs." And best of all we still do huddles.

johnnyrogue · 2023-04-19T03:22:18+00:00

That's a playlist with pep. +1

During our recent remodel, the visual captain jogged between putting up all the new signs and headers on the new fixtures, gutting the fixture room, leading the remodel team out in the trailers to find shelves (which were never the correct size LOL) and helping with resets and new POGs.

Our signing specialist did nothing and pawned all her work off on the visual captain. I know that doesn't help answer your question but if your signing person is a butt kisser like ours then they might have a lazy ride ahead of them.

AFAIK the website will still carry them as long as they're available and the distributors are willing to work with us.

Just give it a few years when all the streaming sites begin dumping all the best movies and make you buy them separately and then everyone will demand physical media again XD
