Run in with a Walgreens Mgr over some Swedish Fish (1 Viewer)

[Angry Beavers]

Ok - This is fishing? Right? Has to be. I can't imagine going apenuts over a $2 box of candy AND the manager tried to give you the discount. Should I pretend the manager is other than a white male or not?

 

[T Bell]

WTF are Swedish Fish?

Somehow, this is the most unbelievable post in this thread.

Indeed.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

The guy is some poor schmuck working a bunch of hours for not a lot of pay. His life already sucks. Then he has an area manager working him over on whatever silly ####### rule they have today that pisses off customers. He has no real power and he tired to give you the discount despite that obviously being a corporate rule issue. Of course by then you were in full high dudgeon and couldn't accept that you already won. So yeah call whoever, make the guys life worse because he gave you what you wanted but you were too high and mighty to take it.

This, exactly. Basically, MOP, people like you are the worst. And the sad thing is, I think you get a hard-on acting like this, as if it is a badge of honor or something.

You only know what you read on here. I don't post up every time I have a good experience. How many of these have you really seen in the last 4-5 years in here? I've cut way back. I understand why you say this Ghost but what is the alternative? To just take it? To accept below level competency every single time? I usually do but sometimes I just have had enough and considering I had/have bronchitis and was running a fever, it is possible I just had enough at that point. I venture to guess a lot of you live in areas where white people are still the majority in the area...I think it has a big impact on what I have to put up with vs what some of you in the more rural parts of the country ever have to experience. I've been to the MidWest and there are sections where you can go a month and not see anything but basically caucasians. I can go several days around here in Miami and not see another caucasian. You might not think it matters but it wears thin and whether you believe it or not I experience reverse racism a lot more than I ever care to share in here. Well i guess I just did but you all are the quickest to make judements on people who share in here. I'm amazed anyone posts anything anymore in here.

Relax Ghost, we bump into each other in real life and I doubt you would say I am a hot head.

I don't understand why racists live in areas with so many brown people.

Codependence.

At least we finally figured out his craving for Swedish fish when sick. You'll note they're not Cuban fish...

What's interesting about MOP's constant threads of this type is that he never learns from them. In all of these situations, there is one common denominator, one thing that is the same about each of these stories... MOP. You'd figure, at some point, he'd realize this and understand he needs to change, or at least have some self-awareness about the root cause being himself, yet, he continues acting the same way, oblivious to the truth.It's like the old adage about the definition of insanity... it's MOP.

Well, it's also all made up. All of them are. MOP moved from poster to fisherman long ago and his unique brand of weird stories continues to rile up the masses and feed his needs. It's very bizarre and nobody will ever fully understand why he does this, but he keeps churning out multi-page threads with this fabricated nonsense, so he's doing something right(?).

I can pour hours into a football thread in the Shark Pool and be lucky to fill up a full page, meanwhile my trashy novels go 5 pages with very little effort.

Psshht. Everyone knows if the manager was a white male he would have immediately given MOP the discount followed by the secret white guy "head-nod-wink" of the brotherhood.

Nope, rings too true consistently to be made up.

I liken MOP to Costanza during the first Yankees' Board Room scene in 'The Jerk Store' episode. So while the scenario at the Walgreens (having a problem getting 3/$4 for mixed products) probably did happen, the confrontation didn't. Why it didn't happen can either be chalked up to dimwittedness or spinelessness. To be fair, the likelihood of it being a combination of both is prevalent. So on the way home, MOPey replays the scenario in his head. Finally, he realizes that it would have been cool 'if I had responded with this' as he sits in his car, stewing about what happened, while waiting for the stoplight to turn from red to green. So he comes home and glamorizes what was really a mundane occurrence for the FBG masses to compensate for his shortcomings IRL.

 

[Ghost Rider]

you are a very odd man, but you know how to reel them in.

In a sense, MOP is the Skip Bayless of FBG.

It doesn't matter whether you like the RB thread or any thread I put up in the SP brother...post count. I get one of the highest post counts and views of any of the folks that put up weekly threads in season. Shick even pointed that out to you when you were railing on and on...you should be embarrassed not gloating.

This was by far the most underrated post. Took me a couple seconds before it hit me.

[Novice2]

I really want to call corporate and roast this guy but what is it gonna solve? He might get a slap on the wrist but he marches on.

Or they could fire him and then he and his kids get to be homeless. He stirs his anger rage and hate toward one man and finds out where this rich ###### that ruined his life lives and we read the rest on the yahoo homepage.

Let me tell you.... I had to dig pretty deep in there to remember that MOP liked to brag about the traffic his RB threads generated.

Story would've been better if more about the "pretty lady" and less about MOP

I was sick the other day. I had some chicken soup and a lot of orange juice.

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! GIMME MY SWEDISH FISH AND MY GOOBERS FOR $1.33 A BOX. I GOT A RUNNY NOSE OVER HERE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? I HAVE BRONCHITIS. I DON'T HAVE TIME OR THE ENERGY TO ARGUE OVER TWO BUCKS!

I didn't know you could pull form other boards or 6 yrs ago. He and others like him are part of the reason most of the staff doesn't even bother with the forums. Garda almost got his head chopped off the other day for WR Dynasty rankings, serious business,
