I am not a tree hugger, never was. I am also not an owner of a 1-ton Hummer, with a fuel gauge that moves faster than my speedometer. I don’t deliberately support the killing of whales, nor do I own a fur coat. I am pretty sure that the only thing I have ever deliberately done to support my planet, is recycle.
In the grand scheme of things, it really aint that much to ask. If you don’t own a blue bin, or you don’t use one on a regular basis, I would love to come to your home and beat you with said blue bin.
So I just don’t get the whole ‘return your wine bottles to the beer-store’ initiative. I was quite happy taking them to the curb every week, and did so religiously. I havent met anyone who didn’t do the same.
But now we truck the goddamn empty wine and cooler bottles to the beer store, which in and of itself should not be any hardship at all. But hold on a sec, clearly the hard-working folks at the Beer Store have a real fucking problem with the whole program.
Go on – see if I aint wrong on this one…return some bottles sometime, and see how the magic wheels of efficiency spin at your local government-funded beer store.
I am pretty sure these Mensa-club fellahs are deliberately attempting to fuck the customer. If they weren’t, then maybe they would perhaps SORT THE BOTTLES IN THE BACK ROOM, instead of while you watch.
I get that they have to be sorted, I really do. They’ve been sorting shit at the beer store since god was a boy, but holy fuck, do they HAVE TO SORT IN THE LINEUP when the lineup (to return the shit we used to gladly send to the curb) is 20 customers deep?
There is always a tune-box playing in the back. It’s a damn party back there….but If they aint sorting anything, then what the fuck do they have to do all day? Stack the shit? Why does it always sound like there are half a dozen staff in the back-room, but there is only ever one lone surly, slow-moving asshole manning the cash register?
Want to bypass the asshole at the Beer Store? Do you chose to value your time more than the measly $3.25 you get back from speedy Gonzales? Fuck the Beer Store man, I’m gonna simply put the shit on the curb! Well, that’d be foolish, for then the dude with the bicycle and the enormo-backpack ends up stealing your money. Yes, these dedicated souls bike around in the early am, rifling through your recycle bins on garbage day, to cash-in your deposit, and earn about 1/1000th of what the unionized staff at The Beer Store take home.
I would love to think that maybe these folks just aren’t that enlightened. Perhaps maybe it never occurred to them to focus on the customer, and devise a simple method to make returning crap and buying more beer easier, and quicker.
Don’t fool yourself folks.
When the plan to take back the damn empties from the LCBO was tabled, the Beer Store Union demanded that they put a Fuck-The-Customer clause into their collective bargaining agreement.
Please dear readers – enlighten me – what other motive can there possibly be, for this massive cluster-fuck of organizational behavior?

you know...by happily allowing the pickering elite to sift through your blue bin to get that 3.25, you could more easily drive by the squeegie kid with no guilt, knowing that you have already done your part for humanity.....
