Hey, old man! What's in the bag? - Trixine

OK we’ve all called it “RAINBLOW”. We’ve all
griped how they never have anything “good” in stock,
but they “will order it in for you”, and if you’re a club
member, you’ll save 20% off of $20 disc, and its
only 5 bucks for a out of style keytag to an out
of style store, but guess what? I’ve seen
all you poser chumps, with your
runny noses and pink assholes
stopping on by, if for
nothing else, a glance at
my sweet ass. I understand
the heyday of locally owned
music stores is dying. Without
grunge, what’s the point in
going on? But for those of us
who didn’t think big, weaseled our
way through high school, can’t kiss ass, and don’t
understand algebra, Rainbow was good a job as any.
Yet my real dislike and distrust has nothing to do with
the kids who would rather spend their parents hard
earned money elsewhere on J. Lo & P. Diddy’s newest
contributions, it’s the management.
They have been so busy breast feeding the Newark
store all these years that the rest of the stores went
malnourished. And when they decide to close those
stores, they don’t even have the decency to give the
employees any notice. “Sorry”? Fuck
you, we have cats to feed and
a healthy drinking
habit to support.
So
when
they close the
stores, where does all the
stock go? Obviously not to
Kirkwood, a.k.a. the red-headed step child
store. Don’t bother trying to use your gift certificate
there, because with what little stock they have, it
might as well be a paper airplane.
And isn’t it nice that as the other stores’ stocks
deplete, the owner will continue to keep Newark afloat
out of their own pockets?
If you’re so broke, admit it!
“Would you like the book or the music department?”
Department??? It’s more like cd’s on the left,
books on the right. Stop trying to be Borders!
Give it up, it’s over!!
Claim bankruptcy. Claim insanity, claim
lame-ity, but never claim you ever gave
a shit about any employee that worked
or works for you. I guess the only
Newark employees that remain either
fucked or sucked for their job security.
All I know is that those old men should be grateful
I didn’t complete my wicca training or they would
be in big trouble...
At least this is all behind me now and has freed up my
schedule, giving me more time to perfect my modern
dancing and homemade chai recipe.
What a wonderful world when you’re unemployed.....
Editor’s note: Don’t worry, Rainbow, I’m sure we all still
appreciate the local Christmas CD, I know I do.
Got Beef? If you’ve got something you need to get off of
your chest and you think the public should hear about it, let
me know, and I’ll see what I can do. Legitimate inquiries
only, please. Opinions of this page do not necessarily reflect
that of the editor, but maybe they do...
