This was written by my friend and co-worker Dave, as a memoir of sorts of his time spent as a front end supervisor.  Below is the exact list he wrote.  Note how somehow I am involved in most of these.  Coincidence?

Top 10 Big Y Memories by David C.


~"Have a happy SEXgiving"
    -This was the response giving to Alicia and myself while in the service desk, after wishing this woman a happy Thanksgiving.  Over the past year, this word sexgiving has evolved to have multiple meanings to myself and Alicia. *

~Alicia: What town do you live in?
Caravan Crew: Mill Plain Rd
Alicia: No, that's your street.  What town do you live in?
Caravan Crew: Massachusetts
Alicia: No, that's the state.  What TOWN do you live in?  Do you live in Whatley?
Caravan Crew: ?????
Alicia: You live in Whatley, that is what town you live in, Whatley.
Caravan Crew: OK, 20 dollar phone card please.
    -Exchange between a member of the caravan crew and Alicia while she was trying to figure out what town this guy lived in so she could send his money to Jamaica.

~Rocking out with Alicia in the safe room

~Friday nights of Dave and Sandie teaming up to send out 29 Western Unions in 55 minutes.

~"Yeah I want to return these diapers and other stuff that my baby really needs so I can buy cigarettes for myself"
    -One of our weekly dealings with our local neighborhood crackwhore.

~Having cigarettes thrown at me by and 80 year old man, after I asked for his ID**

~Being bitched out by a customer for moving a carriage to get by and not moving it back in its place for the customer (this is a longmeadow story)

~"Wow all the managers in one place.  One hand grenade could take all of them out"
    -Comment overheard, spoken by an irate customer while several supervisors and managers were standing next to the booth

~"It must be the ass"..."Did they just play what I think they did?""Did they just say it must be the ass?"
    -Big Y played the unedited version of J.Lo Ja Rule Ain't it Funny  for about a week, before they realized the problem.

~4th of July BBQ in the Big Y parking lot with the best group of FE supervisors in the Big Y chain.

~Any story, rumor, encounter, or observation involving anyone of the employees of the Frozen Food/Dairy Dept. (especially management)***

*None of these meanings have anything to do with me and Dave having sex.

**It's store policy to card absolutely everyone, no exceptions.  So Dave wasn't being an ass.

***Me and Dave added this on after, once we realized that some of the best stories involved employees of said dept.  We could name names, but we won't.
