Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher Welcome to it. It is Fat Pile Friday here on Chewing the Fat.

You know, every week I talk about the fat pile getting fatter and fatter. You know, really the fat pile, not me. And, well, and I, seriously, it's amazing to me how many stories we have every day, let alone every week, that I just can't get to.

But when I start going through the stuff on my show sheet, it's just, there's so many great stories. Like this story that I'm going to start with today for you on Fat Pile Friday. Now, I'm going to need you to dry your eyes when we're done, okay? But we have the Emmys this weekend, which I know you're excited about. And me too. Man, I can't wait to see Cedric the entertainer. the Emmys. But Jennifer Aniston, who, you know, should be there. She's in a show that's

nominated for two or three Emmys. She's not going to be there. She told her friend, Jimmy Kimmel, that she can't. That's after during the pandemic and being around people, she just, the Emmys she can't do. Aren't you at the Jimmy Kimmel show telling him this? Yeah, but I know we're all vaccinated and friends. I just can't do the Emmys. I just can't. We're baby steps. Baby steps.

It's been 18, 18 months since, well, you know, the outside. We'll say a couple of years, year and a half, couple years of the pandemic and the lockdowns and the social distancing and the COVID-19 rules and regulations, requirements, mandates, whatever you want to call them. If you are still living in fear, oh my gosh. Jen, baby, you look great. Seriously, you do.

But she is out of control, man. Out of control. You can quote me on that. Hey! Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, so the first story, I got so many great stories today for you. I will try to get to them for you. But this story, I just found that a bottle washed up after 37 years.

A glass bottle released into the sea 37 years ago by high school students in Japan was found on the island of Hawaii. And even make it here. It's in Japan. It runs into an island. island in the middle of the Pacific, it doesn't even make it here, you know, to the real United States. So, students of the Natural Science Club at the Chosy High School, it's Chossi, C-H-O-S-H-H-I, however they pronounce it. High School, and it's in the eastern part over there, released a bottle in 1984 as part of the project to investigate Ocean Curse.

How's that investigation going? Are we still investigating it? Is this a bottle that was marked so we know exactly it took 37 years to get to one island in the middle of the Pacific? You'd think maybe. I mean, it'd be something

if one of these bottles washes up in, I don't know, Texas. It makes the rounds. It went all the way around, all the way around, and then back up through the carab. It maybe runs into, you know, it's found in Haiti. I'll give you, that's something. But Hawaii?

That's not. Sorry, no. According to this, though, 750 bottles have been placed into the ocean near this Japanese island in 1984 and 1985. Oh, okay. They haven't found one since 2002.

All right. Where did that one? wash up on. I washed up in Japan. I could have just been sitting there. We'll pretend we put it in the ocean and we'll find it. Okay, great. All right. So since 1985, the bottles released have been found in 17 places. One was found in the Philippines. One was found in China. of the U.S. So one did make it to the real United States.

The others just floated around and went backwards. What is that? I don't even go out there. That's why I said we need to get yourself a bottle, write a letter in it that says hey,

FU, Japan, 1984 on it. And say you found it, say, you know, off of Clearwater Beach. in Florida. Now that's news. That's news. You'd be you'd get on the, you would definitely get on the news for that. Great. And you might actually get to say, I heard it on the news and I said it was ridiculous man. I mean, you wouldn't say it was ridiculous

though. So bad. If you like Linda Hopkins finds the bottle or at least is told about the bottle. You may say what Linda said. I heard it on the news. And I said it was ridiculous, man. That's it. Yeah. You may consider what Linda said, but it wouldn't be. You'd be out of the news and you'd be all the talk of the town, finding a bottle thrown into the ocean from Japan 37 years ago that says, F you, Japan, love Japan. You know you'd be in the news, you would. So I know you people are going, what are you talking about?

Hawaii is the United States, and it's 4,000 miles from Japan to a Hawaii. So that still didn't reach the real United States of America, okay? They're lucky, you know, I love you, Hawaii, okay, I do. Nobody loves Hawaii more than this show Chewing the Fat. No one. and who's the only show and person that knew who you're, you know, great star. What's her name again? Oh yeah, Bet Midler knew that she was from there.

Me! Me! That's right, I knew it. I know that Don Ho is from there. Rest of Soul. But, because my mom's favorite song was Tiny Bubbles. So I was forced to. Listen and love tiny bubbles for many years, many, many years.

So I still do. Anyway, I love Hawaii, but it's not the real United States. So we have the world looking for Gabby, and the story is fascinating, right? They were traveling and the boyfriend, and now he's not talking, and she's disappearing. Everybody thinks that she's, you know, the family obviously doesn't think that she's left. the earth. They don't want her to have left the earth, you know, by his hands. But it's looking like that actually happened, right? Maybe we've watched too much TV, but they still have been found her and they're searching for her. Well, maybe they'll find other bodies while they're

searching for her because I see where they were looking for someone at the Grand Canyon and they found somebody else that'd been missing for six years. So, I mean, we'll find more bodies out there. We have bodies buried all over this freaking country. That's incredible to me. Every time we turn around. Well, you know, we were out looking for this one guy and then, is that another body? It is.

And now it's believed to be this guy who was last seen in 2015, stepping off a shuttle bus at the park's south rim. And so the next time we find him is. He's just out there in the Grand Canyon. We're looking for somebody else. But oh my gosh, that's him. Okay. So maybe, you know, maybe this is when they're out looking for Gabby,

they'll find more. More bodies out there. That's what, sadly, that's the way I'm looking at that story. All right, we skit these stories every so often, and it kind of confuses me. I'm, you've beaten the man, and then you're going to give in. an Australian man who has been a fugitive for nearly 30 years has not turned himself in.

I mean, he was, he'd beaten the man. He'd been out there. He broke out and they were done with him. But he turned himself in. So he spent 30 years on the run after allegedly using a hacksaw blade and bolt cutters to escape from prison. Okay. So he's good to go.

the man escaped from a correctional center during the night of July 31st, 1992. At the time, they looked for him and said, nah, we don't know where he is. I don't know where he is. We'll find him later. He'll turn up. And he did 30 years later.

So apparently, well, he's surrendered now. I guess he's been working with, he's been working under obviously a different name. and I guess since the pandemic and Handyman odd jobs are kind of I mean if you're working handyman and odd jobs in Australia work is kind of slow they're not letting anybody out and about

so they somebody saw him sleeping in the sand dunes that doesn't even have a trailer or something in 30 years, you're sleeping in the sand dunes? So anyway, he decided that since somebody's, you know, seeing him laying in the sand dunes, he's going to turn himself in. I don't understand. Now, he claims he broke out of jail and escaped because they were going to deport him back to Yugoslavia.

And at the time, Yugoslavia was, you know, there was a little turmoil. going on. They call it a civil war, whatever. And I'm sure it's fine now. I'm sure there's nothing else happening in the eastern block. So he's good to go. But so now I guess he goes back to Yugoslavia or they put him back in prison and say, you have to spend a little bit of time in Australian prison before we send you back to Yugoslavia. I'm just, I'm not sure what's going to happen to him.

he's been charged with, I mean, that can't be right. According to the story, he's now been arrested and charged with escape prisoner from lawful custody. That can't be right. If that's right, just shut Australia down right now. I mean, I've already shut Hawaii down. Well, I haven't shut them down. I'm just telling them that, you know, be thankful we're saying you're part of the U.S.

You're Those people in Hawaii are so pissed at me right now I was talk about one of my other favorite states Michigan, my home state actually You know, you look at it When you hold up your hand, this is Michigan Looks like a mitten Anyway, I'm just helping you out

Just look at it Of course they can see me If you're listening, watching live On the 17th of September 2021 Look at it, I'm holding out my right hand And you see it at the palm That's what Michigan looks like. And I was born and raised right here.

All right? And what we're talking about now is in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, which is right about, not far. Not far on the hand. It's almost like my finger would cover up where it's at. That's where Central Michigan University is. And it's also where this Gaynard Elementary School is. It might be Gannard.

I don't know how you pronounce it there in Mount Pleasant. G-A-N-I-A-R-D. So, apparently, this man wants a million dollars from the school district. Wait, what? Now, usually I'm all for it. If you can get money out of school districts, you might, and it's all government money. Oh, yeah, it's tax dollars. Never mind.

I shouldn't be for it. But I am. I'm saying, if you can get it, get it. You can quote me on that, too. If you can get it, get it. but this person, the father of a seven-year-old girl, is suing because his daughter got her hair cut by a teacher without his permission. And he's suing the school district and two staff members for a million dollars.

Now, on the surface, you think, well, yeah, what the hell are the teachers doing? They shouldn't be cutting the kid's hair like that, especially without the parents' permission. Are there teachers asking parents for permission to cut the kid's hair? I find that one hard to believe, but they did this time. However, what happened was the daughter is coming home from school one day on the school bus and was, I guess, attacked or at least held, I don't know what kind of fight happened I wonder if it was for real and the daughter said,

sure, go ahead, cut it. But one of the kids cuts this girl's hair. And so she's, she, you know, it's cut. So the dad cuts it a little bit, cuts the rest of it a little bit with another hairdresser to make it kind of, you know, he says, asymmetrical, to make the different in length, not look so bad. I mean, first of all, first of all, children,

not adult hair, but children's hair grows back in a heartbeat. You can screw up a kid's haircut, and, you know, a month later, it's fixed. It doesn't, it's no big deal. So the kid goes to school and comes home with, the haircut again. And he thinks that, oh, you were attacked again on the school box? You're letting these kids cut your hair like that on the school bus?

Nope. It was a teacher. The teacher was like, oh, that needs a little help. The teacher was just trying to be a helper and make it look better. The dad was not happy. And he cut her hair to even it out and didn't even ask for permission. Okay. So he wants a million dollars for that?

Well, as well as violating the child's constitutional rights, shut up. The law statute also alleges racial discrimination, ethnic intimidation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and assault and battery. I will say I do like this guy's attorney. That's a good move right there.

So according to the suit, the district failed to properly train, monitor, direct, discipline, and supervise their employees. And knew or should have known that the employees would engage in the complained behavior given the improper training, customs, procedures, and policies and the lack of discipline that existed for employees. Wow. All that for the teacher cutting the kid's hair? That's incredible. But I would say he settles for a couple hundred thousand. School district says, get out of here. There's a couple hundred thousand.

We're sorry. And we'll train our teachers not to cut kids' hairs without asking permission. Wow. And we'll make sure that we monitor, direct discipline, and supervise our employees. and we'll make sure that they knew and know that you are going to engage in the complained behavior. What? I don't. Wow.

But if he gets a million bucks, man, we have got to talk about finding a way to make some extra cash. Because if this guy gets a million bucks because his kid got her haircut, first by a student that we're, I guess we don't care about what happened to her on the bus. Oh, she was attacked on the bus.

Ah, we don't care about that. She let that happen. It's okay. But now we're going to be angry at the teacher. And I can understand you being angry at the teacher for cutting your kids hair. I get it.

A million bucks, though? Man, if he gets that, we are going to file a lawsuit somewhere because I need a million bucks too. I'm not kidding. And if anybody needs a haircut lady, it's me. I've let myself go to,

well, just look. You can see for yourself. If you go to the heading under my crime stories, I have boy showed killing a family on social media. I don't know that I'll ever get to that story, but I mean, the guy had all, the kid, and I think the kid ended up committing suicide, as well.

So he kills the whole family. This is a horrible story. And he posted on social media, his followers alert the police. They find out where he is. They go to the trailer that he lives in. And he's in there. And then he commits suicide

when the police are trying to take him in. That's incredibly sad. Reputed New York mob boss arrested, charged with shaking down a labor union. Oh, you think? Oh, man. The guy, the British guy that got busted in the Netherlands because they thought he was a reputed mafia boss from Italy.

So he's eating dinner with his wife. And the police come in and arrest him. And they say, his wife says, what are you doing arresting my husband? We're here on vacation. And they say, well, he's so-and-so, this reputed mob boss from Italy. And she just starts laughing at the police.

So the Dutch police say, well, we've got an agreement with the United Kingdom or with Italy. And when they say that where they want to arrest someone, we help them out. We get the warrant. We help them out arrest person. So once they start interviewing the guy, they realize he's got an English accent. He's got all the paperwork. They're there on vacation. They went to some special show there and decided to stay for a couple of days.

longer. So now he's been released. Took him three days to release the guy. Three days. It took him that long to actually put their tail between their legs and realize that they screwed up. And they still, he's still under fire because they haven't officially closed the case on that. So when asked, my favorite part of that story, speaking of lawsuits and being worth the money, at the very end, they ask if he's going to sue for financial, gain was the actual question. He was asked whether he would seek compensation. The answer was,

they will look into it. So he's going to make a little bit of extra cash on that, no problem. He's the one that should get the million bucks. Then we have, I mean, we have so many great stories. A woman A woman finds a burglar napping in her bed when she comes home.

A guy broke in, fell asleep on the bed. I mean, you got to find a place to sleep. We have, oh, the guy that stole the boat. The sailboat, they think he's dead too. So the Coast Guard sees, they get a warning from a sailboat because there's a sailboat heading into Hurricane Larry.

I think it was, I think it was Hurricane. Yeah, it was Hurricane Larry. You remember Larry. Brought to you by me. Okay, so you remember Hurricane Larry. So they call the guy and say, hey, is your boat supposed to be out there headed toward the hurricane? The guy goes, no, it's tied up at the club.

I don't know what you're talking about. It's all taking, no, no, it's not. So the wife goes down and checks it out. The boat's gone, stolen. Now they figure out who the guy probably is. And they've, since the hurricane went through, and they've just given up. We don't know where the boat is.

We don't know where the guy is. Maybe it'll show up. Maybe it won't. Oh. Okay. So I'm sure that it couldn't have been an insurance scam from the guy. I'm sure it was completely coincidental. Right?

Right. All right. That may not be going on. And then we have the South Carolina case. The Murdaugh's? That case is unbelievable. So Alex Murdaugh has his wife and son murdered. He didn't have them murdered,

or at least we don't know that he had him murdered. They do get murdered. They are murdered. The wife and son. He has another son. So then he is apparently addicted to opioids and losing his mind and stole some money from the law firm that his great-grandfather started. And so he says to himself, you know, I think what would work is I have a $10 million life insurance policy. So I'll hire this guy to kill me.

and then my son, my only living son, will get the money. So he hires a guy, a former client to come and follow him and shoot him alongside the road changing a tire. The guy shoots him, but doesn't kill him. He's still alive. And so now it all comes out. He hired this. He tried to commit insurance fraud.

He's been addicted to drugs. He stole money from the law firm. We don't know who killed. the wife and the other son, because that son was on trial for drunk boating and had killed someone at the time that they were murdered. So they think that the son got murdered because of that case, and the mom was just collateral damage.

She was just there, so we killed her. Then there was another murder three or four years ago, up the road from their farm, and I think the lady used to work at the house or whatever. She had some arm's-length relationship with the family. and the mom of that lady has been saying all along that she wasn't hit by a car by

it wasn't an accident it was she was beaten and murdered well now since all this is transpired the police are going you know we ought to look into that case again and take a look and see if that had anything to do with these guys just time to close up that family

it's time to shut that family down just joking though I'm not I'm not part of the Murdof family and I don't want anything to do with it. But incredible. And now the guy says that he realizes that it was wrong and it was the addiction talking and was it? Was it?

All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So good. When you say to yourself, what movie needs to be remade? I mean, I want to see a movie so bad and they need to make a new one of. Which one comes to mind? Right, the bodyguard.

There you go. I knew. Me too. Why? I mean, Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner were great and it was made, what, back in 1992? But Warner Brothers said that, you know, we're reimagining. Are you going to do? Is that what that is, reimagining?

We're reimagining of the romantic thriller is in development. Oh, okay. It's going to be penned by American playwright, Matthew Lopez. So it's going to be great. You remember, Lopez. No?

He won an award for the inheritance. You know, the two-part drama about gay men in New York. A generation after the 80s AIDS epidemic that opened on Broadway in 2019. You remember that? It was huge. So his reimagining of the bodyguard is going to be good. You can count on it. Okay, so this must have been what Chris Bench talked about from the Toy Hall of Fame yesterday.

Yesterday I had a chance to talk to the Toy Hall of Fame, and they've got new toys that you can vote on and go to them. You know the website. Museum of Play.org, duh. So you, he talked about the pinball auctions that were going on and how expensive they had gotten. Well, then I see the story last night about the pinball museum, I'm sorry, the museum of pinball that has closed up

and they're auctioning off all these pinball machines that are going for, you know, way too much money. But the story about the museum of pinball So it opened up in 2013 And it closed earlier this month And apparently it was a tourist destination For pinball fans Who could play and they'd pay

And they'd play all the hundreds of machines It'd build itself as the world's largest collection Of pinball machines And a Guinness world record was set There must for the most people playing pinball at once. 331 players is the record. That's pretty strong.

So the thing that strikes me weird about the Museum of Pinball is that it says here it was only open for nine days a year in pre-COVID times. But when it was open, it glowed like, well, an arcade and its neon lit heyday.

Now, there's no mention of how many pinball wizards were there. But you'd think perhaps it could still remain open had it opened up for more than nine days a year. So, I don't understand.

I don't understand. It was in a warehouse in Banning, California. And who doesn't want to go to Banning, California. If you look at Banning on a map of California, it's right there. You can see, you see this is California. If you turn your hand to the right and you, actually you should turn your hand. You look at upside down because you want Baja down here. And you look at California here and banning is right there. And you know, who doesn't want to go to Banning, California? However, I guess, you know, if you're a pinball wizard, one, want to be, you know that that's where the pinball warehouse is, right? The Museum of Pinball. But you'd think that it would want to be open more than nine days a year. Maybe it's just me.

And everyone's going to be paid $18 an hour. Incredible. And Amazon also plans on opening the 100 new logistics facility. and that's going to be for the airport hubs and warehouses. And, I mean, those are at least, those are thousands of jobs there alone.

It was amazing. I mean, so they remember what was the quote, one in every 153 workers in America are employed by Amazon? I mean, there's a reason Jeff Bezos is worth a couple of bucks. It's just a thought. But then I see a story where Sam's Club, says it's going to set its minimum wage at $15 an hour. I'm surprised they haven't done that already, really.

That's kind of weird. And I see where Kroger, CEO, you know him, you love them. I think it's a him, I can't remember. And he said the company is desperate to fill 20,000 jobs. 20,000 jobs at Kroger. Now, I drive by one of their distribution facilities, warehouses, when I'm out and about it's in my neighborhood, not far from my neighborhood.

I mean, today's a big day. It's Friday. They're getting ready for the weekend at the warehouse. They have got semis backed up tractor to trailer along that road. Yeah, I was going to say, you know, I was going to use the phrase not to butt,

but I didn't want to use that because they're cars and semis. So there isn't really a, well, with driver. Anyway, you know, you get the point. But I mean, they are bad. backed up. It's amazing. And they still need 20,000 workers? Wow. Now, I realize that Kroger is talking about you want me to use two plastic bags or not? Or they need one person to oversee the half a dozen self-checkout lanes. Everything okay? You need me to put the code in? Yeah, it says I've got to be 18.

Do you need to see my ID? No. I mean, probably legally you do. But, No. Some of those places, that takes me to, like Walgreens. You know, this girl at Walgreens the other day really ticked me off. And it was just, I know that she was just doing her job. I know she was. I understand. But it's just frustrating because it makes things more difficult than they have to be.

Okay. So I'm buying a pack of cigarettes. Not for me. and don't look at me like that or not for me so I'm I'm buying a pack of cigarettes now the main counter is two people are there waiting to get checked out right so they've got that little middle counter there's no cigarettes on that counter and there's just a checkout right so the girl says I can take you right here and I was like well all right I need cigarettes and you know they have to run around and they have to get them or the girl the other big counter has to bring them over so it's

kind of it's almost easier just to wait in line at the main but so the girl says oh i can get them what do you need so i was like well i just need i pointed to the ones i wanted and i had my hand i said just give them to me i'm right here the girl's right here out you know we're done no we can't give them to an customer to go that's holding his hand out here that's going to pay for him here it's company policy so don't don't don't just shrug your shoulders like oh so that's company policy Oh, it's company policy, then we all have to live by it, right? Oh, okay.

When it would just be as simple, just give me what I want. I'll give it to this girl here. She'll scan it and we're out of here. But no, you've got to wait until you finish with this lady, then bring it all the way around because this girl has now helped somebody else so she can't come back around. It's just, sorry, just got a little ticked up. And the problem is, is that,

People are like you. They just shrug their shoulders. Like, whoa, that's company policy. And I'm there with my youngest son. I mean, he's not a... How old is he now? I don't know. And he's like, oh, dad, why are you getting so mad?

And I'm like, because... It's just, it shouldn't be that hard. It just shouldn't. All right, that took that... All right, I've got to take a breath for a second. All right, just play some kind of breathing music or something. So remember... remember the uh and i want to i keep calling him banks bank i can't even say his name

banksy banksy is the artist i keep calling it bansky bansky is not correct it's bansky okay bansky right what is it's bansky bansky banksy banksy is how you say his name why are you i can't i was i'm not even to do the freaking story anymore. The girl in the balloon painting that shredded and they're going to put it up for auction again and it's going to be worth a bunch of money. They're going to,

a guy bought it for like a million four. Then it got shredded and Bansky, no, Banksy. Banksy said, yeah, that's what it was supposed to happen and nobody knew about it. So now the guy's putting it on tour and he's going to put it up for auction

and they're saying it's going to go for like five to ten million. Incredible, that's a good investment. For a couple of years, yeah, 1.4 mil, I'd donate 1.4 mil to get 10 back in two years.

So I'm not sure what to make of the Howard Stern, Joe Rogan, horse dewormer from Howard Stern, calling people who aren't vaccinated S heads. I'm trying to be nice. You know, you know what word I'm talking about. And then he said that he took, and then he takes another shot at Joe Rogan saying, you know, taking horse dewormer from a doctor isn't,

for a cure. I mean, I thought Howard was at least a little bit smarter than that. Now, maybe he's just trying to start a war and get some publicity. He claimed he was, you know, I was stunned over the slew of publicity over this, right? I haven't seen anything like this ever. Shut up, Howard. You forget your life? You're Howard Stern.

Oh, I haven't seen anything like this ever. Really? Really, Howard. but I just don't understand what he's thinking about. He said I heard Joe Rogan was saying what do you bust in my balls for? I took horse dewormer and a doctor gave it to me. Well a doctor would also give you a vaccine so why take horse dewormer? Well first of all Howard

let's stop right there for just a moment shall we? A doctor won't give you the vaccine because they made it impossible for doctors to give you the vaccine. You can go to your doctor. and have the doctor say, you know, you should get the vaccine. But go to Sam's Club or Walgreens. Yeah, you could go to Walgreens. And don't even get me back started on Walgreens again, man.

I'm already, I was starting to breathe a little bit easier, but now I have to mention them again. And I like Walgreens. Can't they just hand me the vaccine? I mean, I'm right here. Now, see, I would understand that. I would understand that. You know, really all I want to talk about is company policies from businesses.

It drives me insane. When I hear employees, sorry, company policy. And I know I've talked about this before. I know because it drives me insane. So as soon as I hear, oh, it's company policy. I'm supposed to say, oh, okay, then. I'll let you ram this rod up my rear end. No problem, that's company policy.

Oh, okay. Go ahead then. Let me bend over. No. Just because its company policy doesn't make it so. It does to be, Jeff. I work here and that's the way it is. Sorry, I could lose my job. Well, first of all, in today's world, you're not losing your job.

You have to do a lot. People are hiring everywhere. Kroger's looking for 20,000 employees to stock shelves and pick. I see Walmart. I mean, I don't know what kind of place Walmart is to work for, but the neighborhood Walmart in my neighborhood, I do see them go through a number of employees. So, you know, the regular, the cashiers and the, you know,

counter people seem to be pretty stable. But the guys that get carts and the, you know who they go through a lot, which must be a crappy job. And I'm going to have to get my son. job there, is the people who go through the aisles and pick out the orders for people that pick it up. Because that's the new job at the grocery stores. Kroger, I'm sure, is looking, that's probably a big chunk of their 20,000, is the people

that are going through shopping for you when you order online and you come to pick it up, which I don't mind, by the way, except that it's frustrating when they don't have your product and they substitute and then if you don't want to substitute, it's just, just let this hand it to me. let me hand it to me and let me hand it to the lady I mean it's frustrating but I do like the process of not having to go in if it's just a few things you just pull up

they bring it out to you and you're gone I like that a lot but those are the jobs now I see those a number of people different doing that so I'm guessing after about a month of picking out other people's shopping lists maybe you've had enough or you're not doing it fast enough

I don't know if they expect you to, you know, how long it's supposed to take you to do somebody else's shopping, but could be a time limit on that. Like, you're not done with that yet? It's only a $50 order. You're supposed to be done with that by now. And if you know where everything is in the store, oh my gosh, get it done. Put it in the little blue box and go. But my point is, is they go through a number of employees. so I can understand

it's company policy we've got to do it's company policy we have to do it that way you don't really have to do it that way you don't really fine fine be that way
