Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
If you have been in the Burke Safeways recently, you probably noticed that the cashiers are being required to get on the PA and yell "WOOHOO" whenever they get a donation for breast cancer. It's gotta be a human rights violation to force a bunch of people with shitty jobs anyway to do something that dumb. Knock it off.
It's no more obnoxious than the bartenders at TGI Friday's ringing a triangle bell everytime they get a large tip, which seems to be every thirty seconds judging by how many times they ring it.
It would be one thing if they wanted to do that, but for stores to make employees yell such utter nonsense, is well nonsense. Geez, and also forcing employees to force charities on people. I feel sorrier than ever for the cashier and employees at these grocery stores. Ya'll are good peeps, and what your company's are making you do, bullshit.
There at Safeway yesterday, about made me have to check my drawers with that unexpected yell? Can I just purchase my oatmeal and Raisin Bran without this type of thing please?
Hey, if you're having trouble controlling the bowels, may want to cut back on the fiber there, champ. Did the rest of your shopping list include dried prunes and cabbage?
Although it is for a good cause it does cause embarassment to the employee and the customer. Kind of like the intercalm announcement for a "price check" on Depends or other personal sanitary product.
My mom had breast cancer and we dislike the pink ribbon compaign. So many items with a pink ribbon give nothing to breast cancer research. Enough. Give if you want but why do you need to buy shit for a cause. Why not just give a flat out donation.
I can't wait till the pink ribbon and breast cancer go away.
