Colin and Joanne are Awesome

I was working an afternoon-evening shift today, from two to ten. It's pretty long, but we were busy pretty much the whole time and even exceeded projected sales by three hundred, which is a rare occurence.

Anyways, it's pretty common knowledge among the staff of Little Caeser's that our delivery company, Niteflight, is terrible. Joanne says they're evil. They lie to us all the time, and they're always late.

Tonight, just about the time when Colin was leaving, a Niteflight driver arrived to take a delivery but he wanted to carry the delivery in a Swiss Chalet bag. Colin wouldn't allow it, so the driver angrily returned to his car to fetch a plain red bag. He dropped it on the counter and said something like, "Is this one okay?"

"Yes, it is," Colin replied. "Why didn't you bring that one in the first time?"

The driver just said, almost shouted, "Just give me the food."

Colin doesn't take attitude from anyone. He pointed to the door and said very evenly, "Get out of my store."

The driver put up a bit of a fight, but Colin insisted, "Get out of my store."

"Come on outside, then!" the driver said.

The man just wouldn't leave the store, he kept asking Colin to come outside so they could fight it out in the parking lot and Colin kept asking him to leave. Finally Joanne came around the corner and pointed to the door, "Get out, just get out!"

When the man resisted, she said, "Get out or I'll count to five like I do with my three year old!" And the man left.

Did I mention that there were customers in the store? A lady remarked that Colin and Joanne handled that very well.

Colin and Joanne are Awesome.

Earlier this evening a lady came in while Kerri was on cash and told her, "You guys need a serious attitude adjustment; you're so rude to your customers!"

We get all kinds of weirdos.
