Man, we used to have some great picnics. Sometimes they'd have magicians and clowns for the kids, dunk tanks, and lots and lots of food. You got to know your fellow employees a bit more and meet their family. I'm sure it was expensive, and more work for the managers, but people really enjoyed them. I didn't go to the last couple of picnics. They held them at Wild Waves and they would meet for lunch then everyone would go their seperate ways. Great if you have kids I guess.

Anyway, end of an era. I don't think they even spend any energy hating us. We just don't matter.

At store 175 we had a BBQ this past month. We were told it was for employee week. Now it is to come for the NTDC.
