So I'm really looking forward to work tonight. Actually, this is probably very stupid of me as we'll be slammed what with all the black Friday shoppers who decide that after spending all their money on sales items and tormenting the poor employees who have to deal with them isn't enough, go to see a movie.
Still, we've got a competition going on right now... and it's more confusing than the last one they had, but it's actually being done by Rave so the prize is much better; it's $25 added to your paycheck for every shift you win, but you can only win it certain times. I'm pretty positive I'll win, despite the confusion behind how it works exactly. If you happen by any Rave Motion Pictures in the country, but especially in Alabama, then you've probably got a bunch of people trying to creep you out. I lie, our initiatives we're working on right now are smiling, engagement and urgency. Yeah, all these sound great and all, 'til you hear that we're supposed to say "Welcome to Rave!" every time, every customer, box office, podium, concession, usher crew... a bit creepy, neh? I don't mind greeting my customers "Hi, may I help you?" but it seems like we're turning into a cult. Not only that, smiling is a given and understandable, but in order to get closer to the results they want I've had to tell my employees "I need you to smile, a lot. Like, try to creep them out with it, but don't make it too obvious you're trying." and then they show me a creepy stalker face and I have to tell them "There ya go, you've got it, keep it up." They want us to smile constantly, even when we're making the popcorn with our backs to the customers and everything. Please, please complain that it's creeping you out. Get your friends and family to, I beg you. Start a petition, even.
The old competition was done by one manager, who at the end of the night would give $5 to the person who sold the most large cups. Out of five times, I won all but two, maybe. And I won three in a row. I loved that competition. I actually used it for my haircut fund. I couldn't afford a haircut without it. This time it'd likely either go to my school fund, which my other paychecks are going to, or it'd go to my "Sadie's first tattoo" fund. Depends on if I start winning it regularly, which'll be hard if I'm scheduled supervisor most of the days it happens, as I have to be on register to win.
On a random note: one of my favorite things is discovering something new about my boyfriend, so long as it's not like "I've cheated on you with twenty people, including one of your family members, one of mine and a dead dog." Never had that happen, I might laugh a bit if it did, 'til I realized he was serious. I totally love finding out what turns him on, especially. I dislike the fact that he lives so far away because I feel I know so little about him sometimes compaired to the people that live with him, but I know so many things nobody else knows, and I love it when he tells me something else.

That's cool. Well, we're going to go, so we'll come back to your rave everytime we see a movie...hopefully when it's less crowded.
