the day after the owner’s son was promoted to head of operations he started parking in the spot closest to the restaurant, taking a spot that should have gone to a customer. my wife had enjoyed working at the restaurant, but she could see that junior didn’t care about the patrons and gave notice…
Rightfully so. However, employees should be recognized and rewarded for extra diligence in performing their jobs and better parking spaces is a simple, economical and very effective way of rewarding them…..
I once worked as a salesman for the local Sears store. The assistant manager in charge of personnel just happened to own a vacant piece of land right next door. He rented parking spaces out to the employees and then made rules that required employees to not park on the store’s parking lot. The word went out that if you wanted to keep your job, you had to rent a parking space from him. Fortunately for me, my job was only a temp job and only part time and was only for the Xmas period.

Home court doesn’t guarantee a win. Park on his left, as close to his car as you can. Then it becomes a game of “who leaves first.”

I haven’t seen those “vee” shaped cups in years. Do they really still have them?

Well, “Now Hear This!” has to be impressed that Arnie beats him to work, and appears to be the first one in each day…. or not. : )

Poor Arnie. Has to walk the width of a whole parking space.
