COMMENT!

So what makes a man of 18 stone want to threaten to beat up one of our regular customers who is obviously a very sick man. We have known him for years and he has always been polite and respectful to all of our team and certainly treats his customers with warmth and friendship. He was so upset about the threats of physical violence I was seriously concerned he would have a heart attack. Arlin took more verbal abuse from this fat sod that it is quite amazing a punch up was avoided. The man was suffering from a huge bout of verbal diarrhoea and I am certain he was not a local and certainly earns the award of Dickhead of the Season!

Now I turn to the lady seller of new sandals and flip flops who thought it was perfectly ok to set up stall and get slowly pissed on Cider whilst serving customers then to drive away into Newquay’s busy streets without a care in the world! For two weeks we have had complaints about this lady but we had to witness her drinking before we could take any action and sure enough yesterday she was caught red handed firstly denying drinking but the evidence was on the table with her current half can of Bulmer’s waiting to be slurped! How selfish and stupid she has been in denying herself the opportunity to sell at our 9 locations which I know was her main income! Her actions could easily have caused an accident and you can imagine the bad publicity ‘Drunk whilst leaving a Car Boot Sale’ with the press printing the story locally and nationally!

Whilst sounding off here are two other matters for your attention!
1. Drivers (mainly men) do not allow young children to sit on your lap and steer your car whilst parking up in the selling lanes, this amounts to gross stupidity and could easily cause a serious accident! Team members are instructed to tell any drivers who allow their kids to drive and steer cars at any of our Car Boot locations to do a U-TURN and GO HOME! Bloody idiots!
2. The law is the same law on private land as on the main roads regarding using your mobile phones (mainly the females) whist driving to park up and sell your goods and chattel’s! One lady yesterday got quite indignant because I refused to park her until she had finished her call which was holding up other sellers! NO-ONE is that important to have to believe they must hold a phone to their ears listening to and speaking a load of crap whilst driving at my Car Boots Sales to their selling spaces! Tut-tut ladies! Team members have been instructed to stop your car and you also can do a U-TURN and go home! Five years ago mobiles were a luxury now they are a pain in the arse, do what I do get a HANDS FREE phone so you can talk and pick your nose at the same time!

And finally, Well done to Arlin for being Mister Cool under extreme pressure and I am proud of the way I have trained him, as a gesture of goodwill he can have next Monday off, we will replace him with an extra bollard! Bet he goes to Smokey Joe’s for the day!!
