Not feeling too good today and am snuggled up in bed with Loki curled up next to me. My day has just got better with a KCC video to cheer me up, thank you, Rob.
I no it’s been a couple of days since you’ve posted. I hope you’re feeling better! I know that when I listen to these stories it makes me feel a little better I hope you have an amazing Tuesday😻🥰
Rob... I disagree with you on your last point. OP in the last story was upfront with all of their customers... that's what the e-mail, catalogue, and I assume in this day and age, it's an online catalogue are for. Yes, what OP did was unethical... but, from the sounds of it, this customer was a huge pain in the company's ass and those changes and cancellations the customer was doing for years have been costing them money. So... OP decides to rip this annoying customer off. Yes... that's why OP got warned "unconvincingly".
I used to love to play Chess. I once put a friend in Checkmate in 5 moves twice in my life. I suck at Chess but I know enough to not just sacrafice everything to try to win. I can't remember how I did them because they were both random games years apart. It wasn't pure skill but chance as the people I played against moved their pieces and I somehow got them in Checkmate. I've also had long drawn out matches where both players call a draw because we're just chasing each other around the board. I'm joining - not literally but figuratively - the commenter above me who's feeling under the weather and is curled up in bed as I feel crappy. A daily dose of KCC may be what I need. Either way, I need a reason to smile today. Much love to Rob, The KCC Crew and all the KCC friends fans and fiends; Stay Awesome and Frosty my friends!
It's the "low man on the totem pole" who is actually the most important because they support everyone above them. Think of a cheerleader pyramid. Those on the bottom have to be the strongest because if they collapse the whole pyramid falls. 😾 =^..^=
Don't play chess with someone who doesn't want to. Don't say you want everything removed unless you mean it. Don't forget to bring down the dishes to be washed. Don't forget to read the newest information from a supplier. Don't tug on Superman's cape. Don't spit into the wind. Don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger. Don't mess around with Slim! Thanks to all OPs and KCC for this episode.
@@vagrantmessiah , No, lol. I was calling myself young (only a few years younger than you)... as I remember that show when I was a kid before satellite was affordable... I didn't know they were still on as I haven't seen my sister's kids watch them... perhaps they are too young or not available in my area...
@@aralornwolf3140 My youngest sister (30) is showing her kids the shows so watched as a kid, not sure what she's watching them on but then she has apps I've never even heard of. The kids love it though, except for Barney, they can't stand him lol
@@vagrantmessiah , Teletubbies are worse. Much Worse. I suppose you haven't had the misfortune of your nieces/nephews watching Lambchop's Play Along. It was iconic in the late 1990's before the actress, and creator of the show, died of cancer at the young age of 40. Other shows I remember the name of when I was very young were Mr. Dress-up, Mr. Roger's Neighburhood, Pokeroo, Reading Railroad, Thomas the Tank Engine (still on TV), Magic School Bus (still on TV), Arthur (still on TV)... Still, none of them were as iconic as Lambchop's Play Along. :D
Dishpit Disaster Story: If I were the General Manager, I'd have given a VERY Stern Written Warning to the Back of House Manager and put him on Probation for Gross Dereliction of Duty and kept a close eye on his performance and the next time he screwed up, he'd be instantly Demoted out of Management and a note would be placed in his File Stating he's NEVER to be Promoted to Management again!
Yeah, if I was in the General Manager's shoes I'd want to know what the Back of House Manager was doing for the three hours that 30+ carts of dishes were piling up that prevented them from noticing that and correcting it. Either the BoH Manager didn't care about the dishes specifically, wasn't doing their job at all, or wasn't even there for most of the shift. None of those options look good for the BoH Manager and I'd definitely make it clear that they were on thin ice at the least.
About the first story, they guy must have had other arguments, because his personality sounds to have been such a crap! Last story, email to an end customer may be too much, but email to a distributor (Ana had their display stands), a professional, is legit.
i was not shocked to hear op staying w that weird guy for a couple of years - it must’ve been the reason why she mentioned her dad being a narcissist in the first place. hope she is happy w her hubby now.
the OP saying they got forty minutes in by the tenth move. If OP was only taking 3-5 seconds per move, that means that their opponent took, on average, three minutes and 50 seconds to *pretend* he was thinking while humming and rubbing his chin. Per move. Who in their right mind would be able to sit through that for so long on the first three moves?
Brass works: How much do you want to bet Anna from Montana doesn't disclose her prices to her clients and seeks these discounts to pad her personal bottom line.
They both sounded pretentious and the story may fall into ”sure, that really happened and everybody clapped” territory. There are several more big brains in this comment section who also claim their abilities are so superior that the world should be grateful that they simply aren’t interested in playing certain games.
Chess story. My ex, thought she had a superior intellect to my own. She had gotten a teaching degree, I left college due to sever learning disabilities (dyslexia and ADHD). Well, she started pressuring me to play chess. What ex didn't know was that my Mom taught me how to play chess when I was 6 years old, and I was a member of the chess club in HS. I, of course informed ex that it's been years since I played. Ex actually seemed to delight in this. A victim of her "superior intellect" for the taking. I won the first game. Ex's game style was essentially "bloodbath ". Now knowing what her "strategy" was, I quickly mopped her in the next two games. Needless to say, she was pissed. Oops,LOL!!
I had a similar thing as OP...but with darts, Snooker and Pool...I'm not bragging ( much ) but I was GOOD...the thing is I'm just not particularly interested in 'competitions'...which leads to a few situations. I was away backpacking with some friends one w/e and we stopped at a pub for a bite to eat and a drink. While there some of the locals...no doubt seeing three guys from London as a 'easy mark'. One of them challenged me to a game of darts...my friends just laughed and told the guy that that was not a good idea. Now one thing about me you should know...I'm a packrat for weird information...ever heard of something called 'Kinaesthesia'? Well basically it's 'muscle memory'....and you can use it in different ways. Well my turn to throw arrives...I'm already fed up with the guy I'm playing...he's a loudmouth and a show off...and he's not particularly good at darts either. We've already played two out of three...and I'm fed up with his snarky comments...even his friends look fed up with him. So...I'm looking to finish this game ASAP. We're playing 401...so...first three darts 180 ! Second three darts 180 ! The other guy is looking really pissed of and said something ( cant remember exactly what ) that really annoyed me...so I said something along the lines of. 'I've not even been concentrating...you know what? Screw this...I've had enough'. Remember what I said about Kinaesthesia ? I held the three darts in my left hand by the points, grabbed one and threw it...instantly grabbed the next one and threw that and then the third...OK...what's so unusual about that ? The first dart went straight into the treble 20...the second dart went into the back of the first dart...and the third dart went into the back of the second....all three darts are just hanging there each, each into the previous one...if you get me. The way it works is ( if you can do it quickly enough ) is the muscles 'remember' the movements you just made and repeat the movements...exactly. I must have spoken louder than I realised 'cos the pub just went silent. I turned to my friends and just said 'You ready'? They nodded. We grabbed our stuff and left...just as we got to the door one guy that was standing there just looked at me and said. 'Holy SHIT mate !...that was awesome'. We got out of there pretty quick lol

I hope you're feeling much better now.

Better to leave him late than never.

people forget that, way too often
I wonder how much essential information was in Boss A's desk, computer, and any filing cabinets in that office?
It's the little people who make or break a business, not the managers
Don't play chess with someone who doesn't want to. Don't say you want everything removed unless you mean it. Don't forget to bring down the dishes to be washed. Don't forget to read the newest information from a supplier. Don't tug on Superman's cape. Don't spit into the wind. Don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger. Don't mess around with Slim!
Thanks to all OPs and KCC for this episode.
Anyone else hear "Ana from Montana" like "Bananas in Pajamas"? lol
You're that young?
Also... Hannah Montana was a Disney show ~15 years ago.
@@aralornwolf3140 If you consider 42 as "that young" then yes, I'm gonna guess that you don't have kids around you. lol

dumped him **years** later??
Yeah, she seems to have been a bit slow at getting rid of the fool, no?
Should of made the banquet staff do the dishes themselves.

Why is management so freaking useless!!!!!

That’s the way it works and they all do it.
Great stories!
Thanks for listening
Chess player BF would have been better off saying. "Teach me"

Good afternoon Rob
Have a great weekend everyone
Good afternoon

The I don’t play chess OP and the boyfriend sound insufferable.
