Subject: My Confessions... (Hail Sarabi!) Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:57:47 -0600 From: Rindimo Reply-To: TLK-L@lionking.org Organization: L.O.S.T.-- C.A.U.S.E To: tlk-l@lionking.org Welp, For all you Savannah Steakhouse fans out there.... that part of my life was officially over at 4:00 this afternoon. It was getting to be quite a hassle, so I quit. I figured I just couldn't end this day without some real- /REAL/ confessions of all the bad things the little cheetah did. >=} So, without further ado, here they are: 1. Yes, I admit it. I was the one that stole that last cinnamon roll that the manager was staring at. When he turned his back, I quickly took it off the dessert bar, and stuffed my face with its gooey sugar.... I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw! 2. Although no one could see it, I was wearing a necklace that was a cross. The dress code explicitly said no necklaces. It also said no pocket knives, but if it hadn't been for my swiss army knife... There'd still be a broken soda machine, disfunctional toilet, locked bathroom door, and an occasionally jammed soap dispenser. Also, I was crazy enough to see how far I could go without buying a new pair of shoes... Although the soles were falling off, and there were no treads at all... I just burned them, and wore my fancy church shoes for the last weekend of my job. The sad part, was that I went for months with those tatterred shoes. 3. I learned to never again mimmic the manager's voice over the intercom when he's /STILL/ in the building. Although he was rather amazed that I could sound just like him, he strongly advised never to do that again- reguardless if everyone hurries for a meeting, instead of just taking their time. After that, I just mimmiced the voice of another co-worker. What it was, was he was told if he did another announcement with his stupid "radio announcer" voice, he'd be in deep $&!^. I confessed before troubled started... 4. If anyone ever cleans out some cabinets.... They'll find a bunch of caricatures of people that work there. I drew a bunch when there were no crowds, and just placed them in the little storage cabinets when done, or customers came. There are also a bunch of cartoons that held a bunch of "Inside jokes" that only Golden Corral employees can get. Also, there is the "Top Ten Reasons You Know You've Been Working at Golden Corral Too Long" hidden somewhere around there, too. The stupid part, is I signed my name at the bottom of all of those.... 5. Okay, the coup de gracie! In the backroom of the restaurant- where the dishes are washed, the steaks cooked, food stored in freezers, and where managers argue... there is a sink where we wash our hands after bringing in dirty plates to the dishwashers. Beside the sink is a little reminder for the bakery personnel: "Wash Hands After Every Breading. Cross-Contamination Can Cause Illness." I had toyed with an Idea ever since I came to this place, and just recently, I finally did it. Here's the skinny of it all: The background color of the sign matched the color of my name/comment card. So I made some marks on one of my cards when no one was looking- marks that indicated the size of the letters. I went home, cut out the square, and /carefully/ colored a red letter "e"- to where it would match the colors of the other letters. I then took Ticky-Tack to the back of the letter, and stuck it on the oppposite side of my name pin (that I get to keep, by the way.) When I came to work, and noticed no one was looking, I carefully, and quickly placed the letter on the sign to where it read: "Wash hands after every BREEDING. Cross-Contamination Can Cause Illness." Because I chose the colors so carefully, It was almost four weeks before someone noticed, and took the thing down. I'm afraid it was Mr. Barns- The Big cheese distric manager of the southeastern states. He loves to periodically visit our restaurant- and be very noticing of every minor detail, I might add. I never had the guts to ask if there were any repurcussions- I think I'll do it again, anyway, when I visit everybody... Old employees get to walk to the back of the Restaurant... Of course they get a lot of attention.... Well, there it is! I'm purged! I just hope I can show my face in there again... I have a bunch of outstanding coupons to use.... -Rindimo --  The Tiger is made to kill and hunt, The Lion too, but more towards fight.
