Coffee Talk...
So pretend you work at Linens N Things (LNT as they call it in the hood). And they give you this plan that you need to follow as you stock a shelf.
Now on the shelf do you put the Black & Decker Coffee Pot to the right or to the left of the Kitchen Aid Coffee Pot? If you said the the left then you have common sense but according to the designers of LNT, you would be wrong. I don't underrstand it but for some reason when the plan for a shelf says to put something to the left of something then you have to put it to the right. There is no explanaton why that i can find and there is nothing on the paper that even tells you to do so. All I know is that apparently retail=retarded. And I guess after having studied engineering I just expected people to have common sense. My mistake. I had to redo a whole wall of coffee pots because of this. But it was all worth it because today i got PAID.

dude that sucks, but yes, at least you got paid.
me, i'm getting interviewed, and got my pictures taken while doing stuff at the lab, it was pretty cool. i wonder if i got paid...
dude, their system is the essence of douchebagginess.
cheers
1. why does it matter anyway... when i go to the store the last thing i check is if the things are to the left or to the right of something...
2. now that i know this i will question things to the left to a manager when they're to the left and see if they have the same system of putting things on a shelf...
one...
