EADJ Retail Hell!

This week, EADJ fixes its lens on the rich, vibrant culture that is retail. From merchandise to casual and lunchtime dining, we will assess, examine, judge, condemn, and sexually assault.


First up, a café in Midtown. It's just another middling Cosi-wannabe that doesn't offer anything new, but what EADJ found interesting was that the manager had set up his office smack dab in the middle of the dining area.


I'm guessing there was no room in the back to set up a proper desk, but it seems odd that they would actually take space away from customers to run the stupid place. Dumbbbbbbbb.


Adding to the dumbness is how enormous the food preparation area is. One guy working the register doesn't need a train car-sized counter to make a skim latte. Knock that boy down and throw your dumb Dell Computer back there, you dumb dummies.


Not pictured on the far wall (to the left of J'Net) were a few refrigerated displays and another serving counter for sandwiches and salads, separated by a huge OPEN FLOOR. So there's obviously some wasted space, but Sir Dumbalot Mullet Cockhorse Buttnugget decided to put his disorganized managing style in full public display. Kudos, good sir!

Now It's Time To Prepare.

"By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail."
-Benjamin Franklin

Some possible questions that EADJ is going to ask Jerald on Saturday (list is still being revised):

• What's with that photo?
• Which shirt collars do you pop, and which do you not?
• Does your roommate always catch you by surprise?
• Can you be more specific in your interests (art, music & concerts, watching DVD's/Videos)?
• Why would you mop a patio?
• Have you watched "The Incredible Hulk" yet? It's pretty good.
• Why do you only travel to Germany– and no other countries– then back?
• Have you ever heard of "Eat A Dick Joel?"
• How do you plan to prevail?

The planets are lining up for the big EADJ Jerald meeting on Saturday. And with that, an additional variable has been entered in the equation: EADJ Ambassador John Reid has agreed to go with us to MEET JERALD!

What this will do to the delicate political balance of the conference is unknown. Stay tuned for the latest analysis from Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, and Darva Conger.

In related Jerald Lunch news, J'Net not-very-politely declined an invitation to join the group. She was overheard to say, "Whatever."

Success!

Today the salad dressing dude (picture above) called me "Sir!"
