Looking back I should have walked in on my crutches and let him settle it.   I don't care what kind of day you are having if you are tainting customers and calling them names you should not be in contact with those customers. There are consequences, Karma, for being an ass.

What burger king was it? And if you want pm me the managers name. I enjoy making myself a pain in the ass. I bet he only invites me inside once. I can't stand rude people, especially when they are the ones in the wrong. You should went in like you said. Maybe he woulda heen stupid enough to hit you and then you could own a burger king.

Bull++++ .. if you mess up.. you say you are sorry.plain and simple You have problems at home.. dont bring them to work.. plain and simple. We have our own problems.. but we dont let them out on other people.. plain and simple. he was rude and wanted to fight my husband.. thats a big no no.. what kind of mananger does that?  I dotn need to walk in anyones shoes to know that you dont treat people like crapp when they are in your store..   You dont treat people like that.. period!!!

An Ellisville school teacher called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.  The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring.  Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:   1 . The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel chain and collar.     2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.     3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.     4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.     5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.     Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.     Thought you'd like to know.

If you can't afford to save, then you AREN'T living within your means no matter how much you think you are. The reality is that most folks don't have as much means as they think they do. As far as social security goes, just because person A stole from person B, it doesn't justify person B stealing from person C.

Sometimes it's best to just let it go. This is something I am still working on myself, but I think it'll extend our lives to not get our blood pressure up about small things. :lol: I feel ya, though.

So... you're saying that $15/hr may be a little much to pay the BK and Walmart crowd as a minimum? :) You can have cheap, fast, and good, but you can't have all 3.

Idiocracy is coming true.

Keep your cool, and keep your mouth shut. (you don't work for them anymore)   And don't be surprised if you are prevented from accessing your <former> office.

Saw this coming from a mile way. Was planning on placing my resignation on Thursday to give them two weeks to hire a semi decent replacement. Well they beat me to the punch. Where not too happy when I outline the faults with the management and the awful record of employment selection. But now they have their wish with getting rid of the last original.  Good thing I have another opportunity lined up, and am grateful for it.  But I cannot wait to walk in there tomorrow, drop off my shirts and walk out with my binder full of sales leads and plans.  And when they ask me "whats in there and what are you taking", I will tell new the "manager" my sales and customers that will not be going to your store.   Oddly enough. I feel great. I never said no, covered shifts at locations that where over 100 miles round trip and havent had a vacation in three years. Hell, I will go shooting tomorrow to celebrate. And enjoy my last day of fall break.

  If you're working full time and unable to save, you're not living within your means. Sorry.    I agree, we should help folks who fall on though times; when we choose to, and not through the government. The .gov stealing my money through the tax system to give it to someone else is not helping the less fortunate, it is theft. Help should be (and is) available to people through a large variety of charities that rely on voluntary donations from people, and a lot of those donations would be a lot larger if we weren't already forced to 'give' to the less fortunate by way of government thuggery.    By my logic, folks on SS are leaches because they depend on the government to retire.    Yes. That is correct. I'm sorry you chose not to save money or decided to quit working at 60 years old, but it's not my job/ duty/ obligation to support you for a decision you made just like I didn't expect anyone to come swooping to my rescue when I quit my job.   I really wouldn't feel bad at all if the government stopped sending out checks to everyone other than employees who actually show up and work tomorrow; and those employees should get nervous because a large portion of the beuracracy would be unnecessary with no more entitlement programs. "Oh, but what about the so-and-so group who depend on those checks?" Private charities will fill the gap.    Will it ever happen? Nope. Not a chance. Too many people are too comfortable with big daddy government there to hold their hand, or they get scared when they see the hard times that will have to come before things can be fixed. We'll never see the US Federal government shrink down anywhere near what it truly should be, but just because it won't happen doesn't mean that it shouldn't. 

I spoke the company that manages that particular Burger King. They manage the BK as well as several other restaurant chains that are a much higher quality. The guy I spoke to even said that if it is remotely close to how I explained it the manager will not be there the next time you step foot in that burger king. He was very apologetic for what happened and said there is no excuse for a manager trying to taunt a customer to come inside or to call a customer stupid. He was going to have their store manager call me, it was an assistant manager who did this. The person I spoke with said they do not have audio on their phone systems when I asked them to check but he did say that there is video all over that store. He took the time we placed the order and assured me he was going to check the video. He said it will be obvious from his demeanor what happened as well as the fact there is at least one employee who will be willing to tell the truth with regards to what happened.   Trust me when I say I will hold him to his word and will follow up to find out the final outcome.

sorry to hear about the loss of your 'friend'.  I've been there several times and it is never easy. "The flaw of loving a dog is him dying so soon.  But if he lived twice as long, his death would be more than most of us could bear." - Sir Walter Scott

It's a shame but quality customer service is now the exception, not the rule.

I have BK9 (Barking Dog) security.  She isn't monitored but she sure is loud and I don't have to worry about power outages or wires being cut disabling her.  She is a mixed breed but I think there must be some kind of hound in her woodpile as that is what her 'serious' bark often sounds like.  As I indicated before, having monitored security wouldn't do me any good, anyhow and would probably just be a waste of money because, as the old saying goes, it would all be over but the crying by the time police could arrive, anyhow.

I saw an interview with him several years ago. He said he didn't consider it dangerous because it's so big under those spans with plenty of room to fly through.

Model 1879?   I don't think there's a lot of them.

I ALWAYS make sure I have my cell phone right next to me at night. Funny thing is the last time we had too call 911 my wife brought her cellphone to bed but forgot her glasses so she could not see to dial 911. Make sure you have everything you need right next to you and that you, and your family, have a plan. I have a plan and the final part of that plan involves patching hundreds of holes in the drywall if we have an intruder wanting to do us harm.

Anyone who has met me or who has talked to me will say I am the nicest guy and go way out of my way to help people out. I am never looking for a fight, either verbal or physical.   My phone call started with me asking for the assistant manager's boss. I was nice and polite until he said the only person I am going to talk to was him. And even then I did not cuss, yell or do anything other than ask for the number for his boss. Had he done nothing wrong he would have gave the number out willingly. But when I was unwilling to accept the fact he was not going to give me the number he began telling me to come inside to settle this and when that did not work he began the personal attacks by calling me stupid.   I know a lot of people have reasons to have a bad day, I have plenty, but you will NEVER hear of me ever taunting people to fight or name calling.

I really have thought long and hard why Buds opened a shop in that area, because the likely consumer that knows about Buds.com, is already a serious gun nut, and won't bite on the storefront guns due to the sales tax thing.  Tourists passing through Sevierville or coming out the SMKW store, likely will stumbled upon the gun store because of the word "guns" in the name, not necessarily "Buds".   Unless Buds is trying to become a destination spot which I think they are too small for that, I don't really understand their business decision to locate in that location and to have a super nice indoor range, unless this is a beta test store.  Sevierville locals and that side of Knoxville is not well known for having large populations of large disposable income (I am from Sevierville, I know).  It would have made better sense for Buds to have located next to Gander Mountain or somewhere similar to take advantage of the large disposable income in that area.  Since likely the bread and butter of Buds will be that nice shooting range, they would surely have more participation from West Knoxvillians vs. Kodak citizens.  Separately, I did read somewhere maybe in the SMKW product catalog that the owner of SMKW and the owner of Buds were best of buds (no pun intended) for a long time.  This is likely the real reason, since both stores are in close proximity of each other.

  And the next Ahole in line for that position will take his place. Having worked on that side of the counter for a short stint, that kind of sorry attitude is the trickle down effect. Sorry manager, leads to sorry staff. I would just mark that location down as DONE and move on. Much like I have many places in town, food or otherwise.

I do believe they send you a notice that the new permit will be coming that you can use in the meantime. My permit was so close behind that it made no different though.

  You should have went in!   Every single time I *think I have met the most incoherent, rude, narcissistic employee out in the "world", I find someone to outdo the last person.

I bought a Glock 27 back in July from another TGO member and I also got a LW 9mm conversion barrel with it. That barrel is excellent quality and very accurate. Hope that helps you out.

  Cartridge consolidation and moon clips.   If Ruger would have cut down the cylinder to fit the 9X19 and added extra barrel in that space to pick up a little velocity, I probably would have bought one.

I would imagine its similar to how S&W amd others did their guns. Some guns that old were made before they had model numbers, such as a S&W pre-29 .44 Magnum. When you went to buy or order one, you just said, a S&W .44 magnum, because they only made one kind, then later, companies gave their guns model numbers or names. But that is just a guess

Success! Thanks everyone for your solid information.   It turns out I may have corrupted my copy of the Safari Web browser perhaps due to my using a hard drive "file cleaning" software program to create some extra disc space. Got to be careful using those.   Thanks again!   ps - My first photo posting was in the General Chat section whiskey & spirits thread!   :yum:

It’s called States Rights; we fought a war over it. The Feds can say you have a right to keep arms, but until they are responsible for law enforcement they can’t say you can bear arms. I don’t want federal law enforcement and I won’t turn my back on states right just because it’s convenient for this issue. We had an opportunity the last time this came up, but I saw where some of the pro-gun people said it’s better to do it in “baby steps”. I don’t know how many more small steps we need.

It certainly wasn't the green stuff that made this kid did this! Maybe he got his tuition bill from Belmont.

Doing Tagalog cause I've been married to my wife for 4 years now and only know about 10 words of her native language.

My method to understanding these Amendments is simple.   - If the Tennessean newspaper is for it....., I'm against it.  :down:   - If the Tennessean newspaper is against it......, I'm for it.  :up:     This personal voting guide based on the Tennessean's endorsements has been near 99&44/100% correct for me ever since the Nashville Banner ceased publication in 1998.  

The fact that the government gets a portion of the entitlement funds from businesses doesn't make it any less of a government program.

A bit surprising that he got in by breaking a window and didn't wake anyone up.  I've got two young kids and I've been surprised by the relatively small noises that wake me up.  Not to mention the dog that would be going completely bonkers.

  not picking but why is seeing a lawyer a fast option?   Sounds to me Dude works at an auto parts store or something.  Not a life long career and the departure is satisfying to everyone involved.   Just saying...   In TN you can be canned for much of any or no cause at all.  You can collect unemployment.  Life goes on.   I got canned a couple of years ago.  Came out of left field.  I sort of laughed when it happened.   I was lucky to have another place to apply to. Missed one day of pay in the big picture.   In the big picture things could not be better.   One door closes, another door opens.  Or some such....

  You might be surprised. 400 yards is a pretty long trip to the target. 

Which reinforces that some things, perhaps, should be scanned and kept digitally before you need them.

  Glad you have a backup plan.  A lot of people would be in trouble in the same situation.  The most sage advice I ever received was "the best time to look for a job is when you have one," and it seems like you had that in mind.   Just be careful with what you try to walk out with.  A lot of places have it built into the employee agreement that whatever you do/develop/invent for the company or on the job is no longer your stuff but their property. 

It really is sickening that this amount of time has passed and .22 ammo is still this ridiculous to find. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything in that caliber since this crap started getting nuts-o. Leave what I have in the ammo can and if I happen to walk in somewhere and there's a box there, I'll grab it. Chances are I won't even notice since I'm out of the habit of checking for it to be there.

statistics= Start with the answer and work backwards until you find what you are looking for.

I have been fishing before and had to use a pair of pliers to remove a hook from the mouth of a fish. I held the fish up and tossed the pliers overboard.

  you can't do that right now.   Look at your load data, memorize the 10 or 15 powders (or make a list of them for quick ref) that work with 9mm (for example) --- when you see one of them, buy it.   It all goes bang.  It may not all be the best possible bullet you can craft, but passing up a vat of AA #7  because you wanted win 231 or power pistol is silly when the shelves are bare. 

I'm just glad you weren't showing him your carry gun.

if the south is so bad why do they retire here. i am 77 years old and cannot remember anyone saying they are retiring and moving north. i have NO tolerance for people that move here and try to change it into the crappy place they left. that goes double for immigrants from any where in the world.

Will we ever see Beth alive again?

  My take: if it causes any legislative change, it will be to amend 18USC 922 to make it clear that trusts and corporations are also banned.   I doubt there are 25 Republicans in the House or 10 in the Senate that would vote against that. Maybe if it includes raising the NFA permit to $5K or something instead of 200 clams, but I'd doubt even that having a chance.   Or just another "interpretive" Executive Order as stop gap measure at the least.   Hell, we haven't even been able to get federal switchblade law overturned - think they're gonna let everybody and his brother have an inexpensive tommy gun?   - OS

I wouldn't throw it away if it was given to me but I have zero interest in owning the gun simply on the basis that it was used in a mass shooting.  IMO anyone who would want to own a gun simply because it was used to kill people is sick in the head.  I would have no issue owning a gun that was used to take a life, but the fact that it did so would not add any appeal for me.

12 guage slug will turn his lights out quick if placed in a critical spot.....  :)  A black bear was killed near Marquand, MO a couple of years ago with .22 long rifle.  The bear was eating dog food from storage shed and home owner feared for his life.  Conservation Agents ruled it a good shoot... No charges filed for taking the bear.

According to my mom, you should plant most any sort of typical decorative plants...  daylilies, liriope, hydrangeas, ... the deer will eat them to the ground every night.
