get into a possition where your in charge of stock control or throwing out old or damaged stock.
thusly you can thief lots of stuff, just declare stuff bust or out of date and take it home and either consume it or ebay it :)
that and work out how to slack off whilst making it look like your doing a good job.
remember most places have camera's in the main part of the store but not in the warehouse so it's better to thief from there.
not that i encorage stealing because it's wrong, unless you either dislike the management or work for a faceless corporation.

congrats on the job by the way, sux but money is a necesaty.

It's a home decoration store, I don't think anything goes out of date. You know the worst part? THE CONSTANT FUCKING CHRISTMAS MUSIC. I've told Nick that if I go into a homicidal rage after going mad over the constant xmas music, that he has to come on here and inform you all. Hey, would that make me the first homicidal F'er?

Well the Christmas music is going already. I just sat through three hours of it earlier today. I showed superior self control in not killing anyone :D.

People add the sounds of thousands of slot machines going off and finally stop playing the christmas music in march. Yes, it started in september.

I remember going to this aquarium restaurant that recently arrived here in Nashville. The waiter that came had to give this little speech about the water tanks and the variety of fish, sharks, and rays they have here, referring to clownfish as "little Nemos." She was smiling while she said it, too. It was a few days after the opening in the mall, so it was jam-packed.

I can't imagine having to do that every single day, every time you go to a table, for a living. They have to deal with the screaming children and stop them from pounding on the (hopefully) sturdy glass, too. They're all going to go insane, free the sharks, and kill everyone there someday...

...but at least they won't be having to hear Christmas music.

I tend to take over that duty for pet store employees when I'm in a pet store. If there's children tapping on the glass or cages, I simply inform the child, "You're killing the animals by doing that, you know. That one's name is Spot. Do you really want to kill spot?"

I usually avoid parents while doing that, though.

Now imagine making $2.15 and hour (in TX) with no benefits and being tipped based purely on an arbitrary (usually low) percentage of a random number: the amount of the bill. Imagine doing that for a bitch of a mother mother and her screaming child, and an hour later they leave with a couple of quarters on the table as a tip, which technically was a pretty good tip in terms of percentage. Imagine, if you will, why waiters may not give you the time of day if you fit into a category of people like that in some way.

Yeah ... man, they really really don't get paid enough for all that bullshit.
