butter pimp
Oct. 9th, 2005 10:51 pmUH!
I work for a shitty money-grubbing company. I just realized really how shitty they are today. There was this staff meeting yesterday that I didn't go to. I honestly forgot. But also, we always talk about the same things. Except there was one thing different about this one apparently. We are not supposed to offer butter for the popcorn anymore. If they ask for it, yes, but we are not to OFFER it any longer. Because our butter cost is too high.
What the shit is this shit? The butter cost is too high? WTF?
Honestly. It's F*CKING butter. How expensive can it be? If they didn't spend money on crap we don't really need like a new time clock with barcode readers, digital slide projectors that play video ads so this company can make even more money, and new computer sales systems, then maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal to ask someone if they'd like butter on their popcorn. Not that I'm in concession often, being the one and only projectionist currently (another subject for bitching about), but when I am in concession, I'm gonna be pimping that grease like it's ass at a whorehouse. I'm going to be hollering out if they'd like butter with that. I may even offer butter whether they have popcorn or not. I really need to find another job. That sort of penny-pinching BS goes against my comfort zone. Don't get me wrong. I am all for saving a buck, but this goes beyond being ridiculous to me. I feel like I'm working for "The Man" or something. I can't contribute to that. I'm too bohemian to work for such a place.
