Back to work tomorrow! Spent a lazy day around the house. Got a few things done, but it's HOT 🥵

Exactly 3 weeks from right now, I'll be on my way to Los Angeles 😁 I absolutely cannot wait. Definitely looking forward to this trip.

Dinner tonight is a home made lunchable 😁 I got extra lunch meat at the deli, so I'm having some smoked turkey, pastrami, Genoa salami, and corned beef with some cheddar and Swiss on Ritz crackers with some spicy brown mustard 😋

Got a lot done on a day off! Got ALL the boxes finished! So pay attention to your DM's, box people!

Not a lot other than that. Just making progress as my vacation crawls closer and closer 😁

Dinner tonight is fried chicken cordon Bleu 😁 I took some chicken breasts and pounded them flat into cutlets. Then seasoned and breaded, then shallow fried. I took some grated Swiss and made a mornay sauce with a roux and some warm milk. Then I took some deli ham and warmed it up in some dill butter in a pan. Then piled it up! Fried chicken, Swiss cheese sauce, then ham on top 😁 added some green beans and potato wedges on the side

A video while I'm making dinner 😁 an appetizer before the main post

Shitty way to end the week!! Had 2 call outs on a day we had 104 donors and $3700 in sales. I never stopped all damn day.

I did, however, get to witness EPIC simp karma, however! 🤣😂 So my annoying former coworker had one guy in particular that would follow her around like a puppy. This is the guy that got incredibly, over the top mad when he figured out she didn't work here anymore. So much so that he called and complained 🤣😂

Ever since, whenever he's drug his loser ass in, he asks us about the annoying one, like any of us knows or cares. Then he proceeds to bitch about how the store isn't as "fun" without her. Every. Single. Time. Today was no different, skip for one thing!

Today, the doofus lost his motorcycle key somewhere in the store 🤣😂 he spent the last 2 hours we were open crawling around on his hands and knees, searching under the clothes racks. Going into near hysterics over it. Spazzing out more than I've seen someone in awhile!

And the single biggest fight of my life is occurring at the same time.

The fight to keep myself from laughing so hard I piss myself 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

545 comes. The 15 minutes till closing announcement. If I thought he was panicking before, boy was I wrong! He whirled around the store like a tornado 🤣😂

10 minutes till closing. He's near tears at this point 🤣😂 how this grown ass man has no backup key is a testament to his uselessness.

5 minutes till closing. He starts screaming "FUCK!!!" over and over again and throws a literal tantrum. Stamping his feet, jumping up and down, throwing his hat, cursing in no particular sense or order, just a full breakdown. He does this all the way out the door.

Then he stands in our parking lot and starts screaming at his motorcycle like it's a person. Like it's gonna answer him 🤣😂 then he slams his motorcycle helmet on the ground, and walks away towards the gas station.

So I go about closing the register and everything like normal. It takes about 20 minutes to close, turn everything off, and get ready to leave on a Sunday. So we finish up, turn on the security system, and leave.

He's still in the parking lot. He hasn't called anyone. He's just sitting there, staring blankly out into the distance.

And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asswipe.

Dinner tonight is air fryer corn dogs 😁

Had an average day. 92 donors and $3300 in sales. No real headaches, though. And the new registers seem to be settling in just fine.

Now! Onto what we found in a purse! 😂🤣 Along with Aerosmith concert tickets and various receipts from 1992, we also found a long forgotten stash of booger sugar 😂🤣

That smell is UNMISTAKABLE to anyone who has. I have a pic if anyone would like to see! DM me, because I'm positive the auto remove will not allow it on the post.

Dinner tonight is a classic from my time in Buffalo. I've been craving a sandwich so epic, so absolutely complete and perfect, that I'm actually quite shocked it hasn't become more popular everywhere outside of New York. I'm making a stinger tonight 😁 a stinger is a classic cheese steak, then topped with Buffalo chicken fingers and ranch dressing, then lettuce, tomatoes, and peperoncinis 😋😋 I'm using the same sandwich steak from last night, only adding American cheese, fresh air fryer chicken fingers dunked in Frank's red hot with some butter melted into it, home made buttermilk ranch, and all the veggies 😁

🤣😂🤣😂🦖🦖🦖🦖

All will be explained in the post tonight....

Had a busy Friday. $3400 in sales and 94 donors. We had our safety inspection. She was mostly happy, so I'll take it. Now this Thursday comes my store inspection. So a lot of hububbery over the next couple weeks.

I'll be solo in charge literally right up to my vacation. Then right back to it when I get home! At least the BIG checks will continue awhile 😂🤣

Tomorrow I have a bunch more paperwork and prep before next week, so I'm hoping for a slower day.

Dinner tonight is steak grilled cheese sandwiches 😁 I got a pack of sandwich steaks on my way home, then seasoned with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and granulated onion and sauteed in a pan with butter and a sprig of rosemary. Then I used the meat in a grilled cheese with tomato. I mix finely shredded Parmesan into the butter, so the outside gets all cheesy as well 😁

What a day. Another 112 donors and $3600 in sales. That's the good news. I had so much paperwork, so many tiny headaches, and so many annoying customers today. It's the first day of school around here, and I guess all the Karen's in town didn't have their kids to bother today, so they all came into the store.

I swear before all that is holy, if I hear one more complaint about the dressing rooms, I'm going to rip them off the wall with my hands. I have worked here for almost 3 years now. NEVER has this issue come up so much than it has in the last couple months.

And I know it'd be practically impossible to enforce, but I'd LOVE to ban resellers from buying books, toys, and kids items. The local book reseller bought a cart full of brand new kids books. I had a friend go check his shop later. The markup he applied is DISGUSTING. I'm going to bring it up in the next meeting. If nothing else, I'm going to shame the ever loving fuck out of these people.

Dinner tonight is popcorn shrimp out of the air fryer with lemon and tartar sauce 😋

We got new cash registers today. The new system is a PAIN, but I think I have it mostly figured out. We had an incredibly busy donations day. 142 today. And everyone seemed to have a full car load. Only $2800 in sales, but we were BUSY.

The pancake also nixed our 930 clock in, 615 clock out. We have to go 945 to 630 now. Annoying.

Had a couple homeless weirdos today, plus a couple mentally ill shoppers. Only had to throw one out. And LeRoy Brown came on Pandora as I was doing it again 😂🤣 it's like I'm getting a theme song.

Dinner tonight is leftovers. I'm made a fresh batch of my pimento noodle salad though!

Had a partially successful day at another Verizon store. At least my brother's old phone is working again 😂🤣

Back to work tomorrow! Hopefully for my last solo week finally! They finally hired a store manager for the other store!

Dinner tonight is Coca Cola Chicken 😁 you'll need:

Dry Rub: 2 tsp. kosher salt, 2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. cayenne pepper, Freshly ground black pepper

2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Glaze: 6 cups Coca-Cola, 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp. ketchup, 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar, 1 lime, juiced and zested, plus wedges for serving, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

In a large bowl, mix salt, paprika, cayenne, and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub the chicken in the spice mix until coated.Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Next, in a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring soda to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally and watching closely, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk in soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, brown sugar, lime zest and juice, and salt to create a thin glaze. Next prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes (or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat). Brush grates or pan with oil. Using tongs, arrange chicken on grill. Brush exposed side of chicken with glaze. Grill the chicken for 4 minutes. Flip, brush with glaze, and continue to grill for 4 more minutes. Flip and brush one more time. Continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°, about 4 minutes more. Then transfer to a platter and let cool 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges alongside and a frosty can of Coke 😁

It's finally cooling a bit. Only high 80's today. Had to go to the Verizon store today, and it's STILL not resolved. Annoying fuckers.

I'm working on the boxes tomorrow, so hopefully, a lot of y'all will be getting DM's in the next couple days!

Dinner tonight was supposed to be the best burger joint in the area, but they still haven't reopened. There was a wildfire only 4 miles away less than a week ago, so it's understandable. Instead, I'll be bbq'ing something! Probably chicken legs and some asparagus 😋 I have a bottle of Basque seasoning/marinade I've been waiting to use, so tonight sounds like a good night!

I never got a notification of shipping, but these 2 both arrived on Friday!

I think today was punishment for something in a past life. Or the universe is trying to find out exactly what it takes for me to start choking customers.....

First we have a guy so impatient to donate, he almost runs over one of my employees because he drove around the barricade. And he was all eager to give us......a bag of stuffed animals, which we don't take.

Next up, as we're opening the store, of all, ALLLLLL, the insanity from this place, THE single craziest interaction I've ever had here occured.

The old goat bastard reseller, That 70's Man's crusty friend , came in. Nothing unusual about him being here crack of opening. Then I came down from the office. I smelled something horrible that I couldn't place. To the point where I started asking other people. This is an old building, and I was starting to think we had a sewage leak. But nope. He heard me, and proceeded to tell me how he and his dog got sprayed by a FUCKING SKUNK about 15 minutes ago....🙃🙃

So I call the pancake, ask if I can throw him out for obvious reasons. She has to ask HR. Fucking hr droids say nope! Can't unless a customer complains......🙃🙃

He's wandering the store for a good 30 minutes before finally leaving. When I turned on the security system and locked the door on my way out, I could STILL smell it....

Then we have a group of idiot middle school kids who decide it's funny to try on in-line skates in the store, despite not knowing how to skate. One of the little dipshits knocked over an entire pitcher and glasses set fucking around.

The urge to give these brats the beatings their parents clearly should have been giving out was STRONG.

We ended up doing $3200 on 91 donors. Never been more glad a weekend is here 🤣😂

Dinner tonight is meat and cheese pasties from an Australian place that opened recently 😋

Insanely busy day. 131 donors and $4100 in sales. Non stop today. We filled up 8 black bins and 3 gaylords today. I'm pooped 😂🤣

I wanted to absolutely murder 2 skanks today. They were literally laughing and giggling about how big of a mess they were making. In the end it was 2 FULL carts of clothes and shoes. They never even bought anything in the end. Just made a MASSIVE mess, then fucked off. I'm SO HAPPY that one higher up had to stick her flat pancake nose into this....

Other than them and the one homeless guy I mentioned in the video post, we had a pretty calm day. Saw a couple more of the kids today. Still weird they're all back in school Monday.

Speaking of which! My high school Spanish teacher is now a principal at a local school, and I'm working on a student run radio station program with him! We might even be able to get it going this year, so that'll be fun 😁

Dinner tonight is shallow fried chicken breasts, some Stovetop stuffing (sage flavored), and my pimento noodle salad 😋

So this song came on JUST after I was done tossing out a drunken/wasted homeless guy 😂🤣 I'll have to start wearing a GoPro part of the day 😁

Just another walking around before we open video 😁

Pretty slow Friday. Only 51 donors and $2500 in sales. Had another mountain of paperwork to do as well, with also being down my main cashier, who's on vacation. However!! That 70's Man came back 😁😁👹👹

I roasted that boomer asshole like my Christmas ham. Brought up each of his infractions, explaining to the fucking dinosaur that it's, in fact, NOT 1975 anymore. Nobody thinks your racist, sexist nonsense is funny, you don't make the rules here, and nobody wants you here anymore. Banned his reseller ass on the spot.

So that was fun 😁 his crusty old friend, another scumbag reseller, tried to open his mouth in his buddies defense, and I told that geriatric waste of Medicaid if he likes, he can join his friend getting banned. That shut him up.

Monday starts school around here, so a bunch of my broccoli haired kids were back in buying stuff for the school year. One young man finally ditched the broccoli cut. He received a firm handshake and a welcome to the the Man Club. Hopefully his cohorts will learn from their friend 🤣

Dinner tonight is leftover pizza from work 😁 I bought Round Table for the crew today. King Arthur's Supreme 😁

PS - if anyone wants to see the surprise under the barrel in the last pic, DM me 😁🤣😂🍆

Had another slow-ish day. Only $3k in sales. 90 donors still, though. We're still getting a ton of donations. I think the schools going back early this year is cutting into people's spending. They go back around here on Monday!

Only one real asshole today. Guy tried to drive through the barrier we have set up when we're unloading the warehouse. Almost had the front of his stupid little car smashed in by a full clothes gaylord. He was told to fuck off, basically.

Pretty decent other than that. Grandma skank, Slagathor herself was getting arrested for im assuming drunk driving as I was leaving, so at least one more loser off the roads.

Dinner tonight is chicken fried rice 🍚 I had some leftover rice and a chicken breast from last night, so I chopped up the chicken and tossed it in the pan with rice, egg, peas, and some soy sauce 😋

I was stuck in paperwork hell today 😂🤣 at least the heat finally broke. Not nearly as bad today. We were busy too! 112 donors and $3200 in sales. Not bad to start the week.

Had a couple of rude tourists today. You can throw as big of a tantrum as you want, I'm NEVER letting these people use our restroom. These filth pigs destroy the store, I'm definitely NOT giving them access to anything in the back.

Tomorrow I have a bunch more organization crap to get done. Office work annoys me no end!!

Dinner tonight is ceaser chicken cutlets 😋 you'll need:

6 (4 ounce) chicken breasts cutlets, patted dry

1 cup (3 ounces) seasoned croutons (I'm using cheese and garlic), crumbled

1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning mix

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground mustard

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup creamy Caesar dressing (I'm using Ken's), plus more for serving

1 cup whole milk

Process croutons in a food processor until finely crumbled, about 8-10 pulses. Next, prepare a dredging station. Stir together crumbled croutons, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon pepper, oregano, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Whisk together Caesar dressing and milk until smooth in a separate shallow bowl, then set aside. Now preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees for 2 minutes. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Next, working with 1 cutlet at a time, fully submerge each cutlet into the dressing mixture, shaking off excess. Dredge the cutlets in the crouton mixture, pressing firmly until evenly coated on both sides. Place on a plate in an even layer. Finally, working in batches, add 2 cutlets to the air fryer basket in one even layer, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a serving platter, and repeat with remaining cutlets. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese and dressing. I'm also having some rice and a garden salad with it 😋

Back to work tomorrow! I spent today running errands and working on boxes. I genuinely apologize for how long this batch is taking. There is a LOT happening behind the scenes, but I'm gonna have them all done and sent before I leave for my vacation!

On a seperate note, the man cave is getting closer! There's been nothing but interruptions, but progress is being made!

Dinner tonight is BBQ'ed bacon cheeseburgers, corn on the cob, and air fryer onion rings 😁
