Stingy

To Kim: If someone can disrespect Big Ralph then they are a jerk, especially if we was wearing his sad old man glasses.
===============================================================

Today I went to Subway in Grand Falls-Windsor for my lunch. It was busy as is usually the case around lunch, and as a result the owner is usually working there on the cash. To give you the background on the type of person she is before I get into the story, the rumor is that she has her closed caption security cameras sending a live video feed to her house so she can monitor her employees when she isn't in the store.

So anyway today I ordered my sub and everything went smooth with me, however I noticed something weird with the person behind me's order. The server had put a handful of napkins, maybe 5 or 6 in with the girl's sub, but apparently the owner of Subway thought this was too much. In front of me and the other customer, she put her hand in the girl's sub bag, hauled out the napkins and removed all but two of them, and then shot a hard look at the employee who was obviously new. How stingy are you that you can't afford to give up 3 or 4 extra napkins? It's not cause you're poor, because a) you franchised a subway and b) those ridiculously white dentures you have in your mouth probably cost a quite a bit (you know the kind I'm talking about, the ones that are so white they can't possibly be real unless your Bon Jovi).. I always thought the management at that place was a little tight because they don't take points cards because that would mean giving out free subs eventually, but when I saw that it really kicked in for me. Quite ridiculous. Next time she is working I'm asking for extra napkins!

In other news, kudos to Wal-Mart employees for verifying signatures on credit card invoices. When you pay now with a credit card they hold the card and compare your signature on the back of it to the one you just put on the invoice. I don't know if they'd actually call you out on a difference, but it takes the whole squiggle your name out of the equation, unless you squiggled on the back of the card. However on a go-forward basis I suggest Wal-Mart starts using the machines that allow you to just put in your PIN number with your chip card.
