    We’re in the red zone again. Can Greg deliver this time? Or just settle for a field goal, and move on to another story line? Will Ann learn respect for people? Will TJ take any pride in a job well done? Will there be a moral to this story?

    Manager Ann wants to keep profitability. Boss Ann is conflicted, whether to leave TJ fired or swallow her pride and re-hire him (so hard to do!). TJ just needs to follow through for once, and Annie Eiffel the Awful Eyeful will be well and truly defeated—maybe forced by TJ to apologize to Brad and Toni!

    Maybe this plan had a little more thought than his previous fiascos. Obviously, just upsetting Ann with being snide would only succeed in getting him fired. He needs to stay working to continue to bother her. But now it appears to be her falling under his spell.

    Let TJ GO.

    Let TJ walk out the door wearing that Weenie World Vest.

    Then Call the Police and have him arrested for stealing Company Property.

    And on the day of the Trial, tell a weeping Ole Smiley You’ll Drop the Charges if he becomes Your willing Counter Jockey and Love Monkey for the rest of the year.

    Later, when He has doubled Your SALES and Satisified Your Perverse Desires, FIRE him again.

    Some have complained TJ’s catch was so disappointing, but what else could it have been?

    If TJ owned WW they why didn’t he step in when Anne was mess with his roomate?

    No, Greg is setting up this storyline and there was no fumbling in his part.

    The questions are:Is Anne going to keep him because of the sales and try to pump him on his process? OrIs she going to have to cover the register to learn his secrets?Or Will she discover TJ was simply buying extra food on his dime to bring up his totals?

    Keep at it Greg, it’s fun to watch a bad boss get shaken around for a change.

    In real life Ann Eiffel might have grimaced at the report, but she would have let TJ continue walking. TJ committed the ultimate sin in a business organization – he disrupted it, or at least the equilibrium of the administrator.`Here’s a thought: how about having TJ somehow take over the management of Weiner World and deal with the drudges he currently works with. I’m rather confident he won’t like it.`Additionally, I’d really like to know how he managed to double sales over the others. Personally, when I go into a fast food restaurant the last thing I want to hear is a sales pitch from the counter help. (Asking if I want to Super Size is rather pushing it.) Just take my order, receive my payment, give me my food, and I’m out of there.

    How does it get back at her? If he stays fired, not only is she without the additional revenue he brought in but she has to pay unemployment since he didn’t quit and her ‘cause’ of firing doesn’t qualify for exemption.

    Ann kinda reminds me of Heather Locklear, or was it Morgan Fairchild, from Melrose Place? Anyway, the Hot Boss who would do ‘anything’ to be on top (* pardon the pun *). The next step would be for her to try and Seduce TJ {Hey C’mon folks, I’m trying to keep it clean} but this isn’t that kind of strip.

    Based on some of the comments related to revenge, seduction and humiliation “Luann” – the comic strip – could easily be adapted to the Silver Screen, or made into a HBO series. Can see it now – “Luann SVU” taken from from the sordid tales found in the funny pages of your local newspaper.

    I still thinks TJ been discounting meals, then paying for it himself. But another thought came to mind. If the other employees don’t like Ann, then they might be funneling their sales to TJ. As you remember, when Ann called TJ, he said he was with a customer, when he was standing alone.

    So, Ann is actually a businessperson who prizes profitability over power and pride. I’ve got to give her more respect. Let’s see if she can salvage any of the three “P’s”. Who knows, WW might expand and open other franchises.

    I think TJ will make Annie dear squirm a bit, teasing her own self-centered needs, and then drop her like a cold turd, the way she did to Brad.

    And to all those think TJ’s somehow “cooking the books” - it’s cash register reciepts from WW it’s not quartly reports of Goldman Sachs, either the money is in the drawer to prove his claims or its not. Plus it’s WW not the Four Seasons, the cliente would overwhelming be teenagers who, either male or female, could be attracted by TJ’s personality thus stearing toward his cash register.

    1. To increase productivity over others at a fast food place, TJ would have to take orders more anyone else – others were probably goofing off and letting TJ take orders. I worked at McDonald’s in my teens – they don’t give identification codes for employees (they do at grocery stores) when they have their cash register rotation so I AM wondering how that works where TJ can show he was more productive than others._____2. I wonder if the surprise he has in the bag is that the tally sheet actually belonged to Brad. A sweet and nasty slap in her face.

    3rd. down and Greg has the ball. And, he’s the only one who can score by resolving this story line with a classy move. There is no honor in revenge. You can’t beat a dog and expect him to become trusting and friendly. Ann and TJ must both learn the “team” concept, that what’s good for one is good for the other. TJ has to get serious, and Ann has to get less serious. Unlike a “real” office, there has been no attempt to sit down and air their problems. Of course, TJ’s reason for being there in the first place is to hurt Ann. Maybe he can tell her why.

    My daughter worked at a Burger King in HS; I worked at an independant hot dog store before I could leave my kids for even a 1/2 day, We had exeptional products; I put buckets of premium potatoes into the tumbler and peeled and diced a gallon of onions every day as well as sorting and making sure the lovely beefsteak tomatoes were always at prime condition when I sliced them. My boss did the one really nasty job of cleaning the friers every week with lye, I even did extra work of drawing flyers and coupons per his marketing, I only worked there for a year (until all my kids had all day school) but even there, I learned new things. I think that one should always take every opportunity to learn! I learned that fries should be by double process, should always have clean oil (or lard-which he preferred). The fries at our store were fabulously popular and so were some other items. If he had just relied on the quality instead of gimmicks he would have succeeded, but many do not understand that concept.

    Ann needs to attend a few managerial seminars. Granted, many of her employees see no future in working at a Weenie World so motivation is a problem. Some kids are great, but in general, I think they come up short on work ethic, so Ann has to establish some kind of authority. No doubt corporate puts pressure on her, so throw in a few irate customers & and she’s under a three pronged attack. I wouldn’t want her job. On a positive note, I’ve had drill sergeants that were worse than her & and they didn’t have such a nice cleavage. Enlist, Ann. You’d look great on the obstacle course in a sweaty T-shirt.
