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.

You might want to check out the DMV in Clinton (Charles Seviers Blvd). I went there last year to renew my CDL. Try to go when school is in session so there is not a bunch of teenagers getting permits.  

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.

check out berry's pawn in madison. they usually have a good selection of long guns. pistols and revolvers are hit or miss. nicest pawnshop in middle tn.

There is one at the intersection of Bell Rd and Murfreesboro Rd in Antioch. I believe the name is One Stop Money Shop. I replaced the glass counter tops there a month or so ago. They even had a Glock 42.

A fish rots from the head down, this guy is about at the bung hole level in the fish.

There are reasons some people have dedicated careers in fast food.  Nothing wrong with that, but some people are just destined.  Just saying.........

Not trying to be ugly, but maybe I am old school, but I thought losing ones job other than a bonafide layoff, was sort of taboo, and not to be shared?  Definitely not to be worn on ones sleeve. 

Wow, first problem ever reported from ProMag magazines. ;)   - OS

  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.

  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.

Good news! Still bet you don't do that again :)

If you really want to pick nits, did you notice that the AK47 that rick captured from the Termian had an AK74 butt stock on it?

Report back on the process if you don't mind.

Thanks for the link.  Info with facts and background on who is pushing what.  Hard to find these days.

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.

Nor is it automatically warranted. Sounds like the gentleman that started this thread has new employment lined up anyway and didn't plan on filing for unemployment. How sad is it that our society has been conditioned that if you lose your job you have to immediately jump at the chance for "free government money" and lawyer up if you think they'll make it difficult to get your handout? :(

I have the CD version (Latin American Spanish), but have only made it through Lesson 1. I ended up having a pretty busy summer, so it put stuff on hold. It is a great program compared to another program I completed for another language years ago. Like anything, if you don't use it, you lose it. I had Spanish in high school and college, so going at it from this angle reactivated stuff in my brain which had been long forgotten. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  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.

  Yes most sales oriented positions will restrict the removal of any documents, paper or electronic, by refusing you access till it's checked.   Not saying that will happen, but it is a possibility.

  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. 

Sorry, dealing with life insurance blood work/physical, someone hitting and running my Cadillac while at the doctor for life insurance and a neighbors down tree. I am going to have a drink now. I will verify all the material and send it to you.

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.

Will we ever see Beth alive again?

  I'm in agreement with TMF's post and likely would have done the same thing as the OP.  Call me a hot-head if you want, but society has gotten to where it is because good people have been told not to turn the other cheek, but to cower in fear of society's turds, savages and primates.

I think he would have a better chance getting the NFA pecked away at with SBR's and suppressors first by challenging with them as specific items.  With the widespread use and sale of those two items, along with states that have no state level precondition to ownership, you could argue that the federal government has no legitimate need to regulate them as an NFA item, that it should be a states issue and the 10th Amendment applies.  The current Supreme Court tends to like those kinds of limited rulings that aren't too overreaching and dramatic.   We're probably a long ways away from having anything automatic being legal, even with this gun friendly Supreme Court.

   LOL well first you go past farmer Johnson's black tobacco barn and when you get to the bed Red Oak tree head 20 degrees West until you come up on a small waterfall. Go through the water and into the cave and at the other end of the cave you'll pop out in "the" spot. ;)

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.
