Top Ten sunshine moments...

In no particular order since most events at sunshine were awesome =)

10) Playing the quarter machine
I don't know why, but that damn machine is so fun, and you could spend maybe a buck wasting time losing that whole buck...That's better than gambling, except there's really no payout, those things are made for people to waste their time

9) Shaking up a frat guys keg
So these frats guys came in to get a keg and they were being real tools about us carding them and having to pay so much since they didn't bring in an empty keg to trade out. So I go to the back to get the keg, and drop it once while putting it on the cart, take it by one of the handles and shake it up a lot...and then when I'm wheeling it out of the store I take it down a really big step (the curb) and it totally shakes it some more...now I gotta help this guy throw it in the back of the truck we put it in sideways for some reason and it rolls to the back of their truck...Man their beer was probably so foamy...

8) Night shift/Morning shift (Micky and Dan style)
Midway thru the night shift Todd comes in and asks one of us to come in in the morning to open the store. We agreed to both do it and split the money since that basically meant no sleep that night...I believe it was a spring break occurrence...Anyways, we agree and get the great idea to take with us after work a 24 of a malt liquor (mine was Mickey's of course) and also a sparks so that we could stay drunk and be awake for it when we went to work...The nights goes by, and we decide to go to get donuts before going to work (to keep this short I won't elaborate on the doughtnut shop, but it's a funny ass story) get the doughtnuts and go to work, pretty buzzed, awake on energy drinks and with 2 dozen assorted doughtnuts...also there was a latptop...and we spend 2 hours at work doing almost nothing but being fools and getting paid good money for it =)

7) Anytime we got free food from Alvaro
The manager next door at the jack in the box would just hand us free food like all the time...He started coming in and being cool with us when he would buy 40's of king cobra (and I mean like 3 or 4 for a night) before we clsoed so he could have them for later (only weeks later did we find out he just snuck them into the cooler at his work and would get wasted at work)...And so he started giving us free food like all the time...we came back with like a huge bag full of burgers, chicken sandwhiches, tacos and all that other shitty stuff fro you there...

6) Anytime a customer would buy either steel wool, or steel wool and a tire gauge
So for those of you who don't know you can take a tire gauge apart and keep the metal tube as a crack pipe, using the steel wool as a cheap screen for it...It would especially be hilarious to see someone that looks like a crackhead buying steel wool...

5) The day Chris' car caught fire
I mean that was friggin crazy...cars don't just catch fire...from that day on i thought chris was part of some secret government conspiracy...not really, but who's car just catches on fire like that?

4) The day I tricked that guy into believeing we had a shotgun under the counter
Unfortunately I never knew really how much that actually kept us safe (mostly allison) cause that one customer apparently wanted to rob the place after he had found out that there was no shotgun under the counter...

3) Finding that sweet coke - a - cola workshirt in the washateria
Basically i found this sweet workshirt for cocacola just left in the washateria one night and decided to take it...That's about it...it's a sweet shirt, and the only shirt I ever got from sunshine =)

2) Pretty much anytime someone came in just to visit with us...
Seriously it was our friends that kept us sane at that job...While our co-workers knew what we were talking about if we were bitching about customers, visitors just came in and brought whatever news they had and we would exchange stories and then they would leave...it's like hanging out with your friends when you're under house arrest...but you're getting paid for it...

1) Quitting sunshine
While i do feeel bad about the way i quit sunshine, i still think it was awesome...I feel bad only because the way I kinda left a few co-workers hanging (sorry bout that)...but it was pretty awesome cause we were having this meeting at jack in the box next door with all the employees and holly goes on this rant about us not doing our jobs right, and basically says if we can't stand their new style of work, to leave...and I just asked them "like right now?" and she said yes...so i stood up, asked her when to pick up my last check and walked over to upton to celebrate...by the way that was my first time ever quitting a job, and it was only my second job ever...

I guess that concludes my top ten for today...stay tuned for micky's top ten letter's of the alphabet...

If you have any ideas of top tens i should do then please leave a comment =)
