Rules

It's been a while since I've posted any rules for shopping at BJ'S. After people watching and being stuck serving these "members", I've decided that you all need to know how to act when you are at the deli/rotisserie.

1. If you are the only member there, don't take a number. We won't push the button to make you feel special that you are next. It's annoying to have to forward through 30 numbers and hear the stupid "ding dong" of the bell when we haven't had 30 people that day or in fact, in two days. Don't do it.
2. When I ask if I can help you, don't say yes and then not tell me what you need cause you haven't decided yet. I probably have other annoying things to be doing and only so much time to do them in. I don't want to stand in front of you for 5 minutes while you try to figure out what kind of ham you want. When you're actually ready, let me know then.
3. I'm going to ask you how much you want and how you want it sliced. Don't walk away after these two questions because after I slice the first slice, I'm going to show it to you to make sure it's the thinness/thickness you want. It's really fucking annoying to turn around and hold up a piece of meat in the air and to have no one there. Stay the fuck there or else I'm not cutting your meat.
4. If you have kids, don't be annoying and ask if I can give them a few "sample" slices. This ain't Wegmans. They are your kids and you know they are going to get hungry. Bring some snacks from home if you are going to be away for awhile. Don't count on us to feed your brats.
5. Don't assume that just because I have to wear a white stupid jacket that I know anything about the meat department. I don't. I work in the deli. I don't know what kind of meat you need to make pulled pork. Especially since I won't be at your house eating it. And don't get all pissed off 'cause you are shopping at 9pm and the butcher's are gone. I could pretend to cut your raw meat for you but I guarantee it won't be anything you will want when I'm done.
6. If there are toothpicks in food and you can reach it...yes it's a sample. No, you don't have to ask me if you can have some.
   
7. But just because it's a sample and no one is standing there while you try it, doesn't mean that you can have 10 pieces. We only sample when that batch is up. I'm not making another 5 pound bag 'cause someone ate all the samples.
8. If you don't see any samples out, that means there are none. No. I'm not making anymore. If you can shop at BJ'S, you have money to buy yourself some fucking lunch. Go away.
9. Just because there are chickens cooking in the oven doesn't make the 4 that are left in the warmer bad. They have a life span of 4 hours in there. And the stuff we demo of that has been there for longer than 4 hours and you eat it anyway. Don't make me throw out good chicken 'cause you want the "fresh" one.
   
10. We aren't Sam's or Wal-mart. We aren't going to discount any food just because it's close to closing time. It gets thrown out if you don't buy it. Nothing you say can change their policy. It's BJ'S. Get over it.

That should help clear up some of the "confusion".

Later.


P.S. Eventually, I will get to posting about what happened on Thursday night. I'm almost over it but still have a few issues with my "past" that I have to work out. Stay tuned!
