Well, I just got our ol' buddy John (KayakinBoy) hooked up with a job with me at the Tinder Box here in Chattanooga! I start training the little newb tomorrow :p

I figure since I sit up there long enough and smoke, I might as well get paid for it! I can't wait. I'll let ya'll know how my first day will go. I figure, it'll be like any other day up there, just getting paid to smoke this time. :D
 
Dang, I need a job in a smoke shop... free samples, right? I mean, how else are you gonna know what to recommend to all the customers? :whistling:
 
Eric has definatly made me a happy customer! I can't wait to start. I figured I'll be jumping into the pipes soon too. my friend says "John, just plan your death, cancer awaits!" :D

Pros:
-Guaranteed to get the hard to find stuff before it sells out
-Most of the customers are cool old guys who will sit and talk to you
-I can smoke in the store
-All of the vendor reps bring free stuff for me
-Busting people with Fake ID's (I used to bartend, don't even try)

Cons:
-Sometimes business is really slow and it gets boring
-Stupid underage punks trying to buy cigarettes/cigars
-The same aformentioned punks asking "You got any Blueberry Blunts?"
-Punks asking "Where are your glass pipes?"
-The fact that everybody assumes we have a stash of Cubans and they spend 10 freaking minutes trying to talk me in to selling them some
-John won't freaking leave me alone :p

Another Pro is that I'm a notorious people-watcher. Being in the mall I see all sorts of crazy people walk by my store. I realize that at the ripe old age of 23, I already don't understand the kids these days . :p I see at least 15 guys walk by the store every day wearing bright PINK polo shirts with the collars flipped up. I swear it's like being invaded by a gang of gay Elvises.

What about all the HOT chicks :thumbs:
 
ROTFLMAO

Don't feel to bad, I didn't understand half that fonny fashion crap when I was in school, much less now. Just give me a pair of Levies and a T shirt, simple and basic. :cool:
 
congrats on the new job, k-boy.
will you two ever work the same shift?

jeez...when "work" is a daily mini-herf that you get paid to attend, you know you've got it good! :thumbs:

now, what sort of employee discount can you guys get for me?

:sign:

We actually worked the same shift tonight and every night next week. I'm training him.


A few weeks ago, he was an ordinary customer...

And now he has been transformed into an...ornery clerk!

Very cool pics! I told Eric I was gunna bring a good stick tommorrow, so more pics to come. It's a great job I think. I'm a little disappointed with my girlfriend for dragging me to see "Be Cool" (which sucked) and her aunt for not recording the tribute season for Jerry Orbach. Anyone see it?
