I think the manager was Todd Fischer or Jenny Stahl?? (I think it was Todd at that time) So I’ve got the typical 4 deep customer phalanx in front of me. The last guy in line is this withered, beaten looking, 70 year old man. He is just standing there closing his eyes for prolonged periods of time swaying back and forth. For those unfamiliar, 5422 was a single wide mobile home on a Chevy Dealership. It had a crapper to the immediate right when you entered through the main door. I get through helping the first two customers and begin with the third guy when I look up and see the old timer lean back against the bathroom door. Not a good move. The door wasn’t shut all the way and all I see is this guy flailing backwards into the bathroom, knocking his head into the can full force. Guy had a pretty bad head wound that was bleeding pretty badly all over the bathroom floor. Ambulances showed up, they hauled the guy out on a stretcher, half of admin showed up taking pictures and filing reports. Happy times! |
Actually, I think possession of that branch went Jenny Stahl, Brad Carpenter, Todd Fiscer, and then I think they put Ray Stahl over there, demoting him from being at the airport. That branch was the epitome of ERAC hell and actually made me open my eyes about that company. I remember Brad was trying to impress me and some of the other new hires and he told us that he was making over $50K as the manager of that branch, which means it was really closer to $45K. He was actually proud of this fact and thought it was quite an accomplishment for a 30 year old guy to be making that kind of money. All I remember thinking was, "Wow, this guy is managing one of the 3 largest branches in town and is putting up with all kinds of crap as a result and that is all that he makes?" That was when I knew I needed to find another job....fast.
