So last night Jaylynn didn't work at Meijer, but she was in there shopping when we got into work, and she was talking to Elaine when Elaine was pulling out my skid of blankets onto the floor for me to stock. I got to my area, and this lovely message was written on the boxes of my skid, in Jaylynn's handwriting:

Comments

I want to be shocked that people like Jaylynn exist, but I read troll comments on Internet blogs. I also want to believe that Internet trolls don't go around leaving trolly comments in real life, but I know Jaylynn exists. Hope for humanity meter: approaching critical.

I also really hope you get to have a productive conversation with your new manager, but I totally understand that Meijer has a track record of running in the opposite direction of "productive" while waving its hands over its head and screaming like its ass is on fire. :/ Keeping my fingers crossed.

The best (read: worst) part was once the GM Nick came back from vacation and heard about this, he questioned me and I told him what happened, and said it's just lucky that a customer didn't see it, and he said "Especially if the customer were African american," because white people aren't ever offended by the N word.

This woman is unbelieveable. What a nightmare, I'm so sorry.

[malakijr]

She is a nightmare. I'm pretty sure she was one of the plagues that God released in the Old Testament. That would explain her staying power when she breaks every rule Meijer has every day yet still manages to keep her job.

(Found on the forums at manboobz.com, and I immediately thought of you and your infinite love for trite cliches.) :D

The more I hear about the girl, the more I hate her. I don't even know her and I hate her.

Even her name irritates me.

Stupid bitch.

[malakijr]

Even her name irritates me.

I love it! "Jaylynn" is such a lazy, stupid name. "We're going to name the kid Jay if it's a boy. Damn, it's a girl? Well...Jaylynn, I guess." Parenting fail. Also, if you think HER name is bad, her two daughters are named "Orieanna" (pronounced "Ore-eee-on-uh) and Harmoney. Seriously, Harmoney? Every time I see that and realize the dumbass can't even spell HARMONY correctly, I want to scream.

Wait! She actually reproduced!?!?! I weep for humanity!!!

And yea those are awful spellings. You can tell she's really intelligent.

I'm sorry that things suck so hard.

I just read an article about hope that made me think of you. It's from a guy who I think writes a lot about peak oil and things like that - but he has a good description of how people make hope out to be shitting imaginary rainbows when it's really about finding a way to make the best of a horrible situation. Anyway, I thought it might make you feel better to read something talking about hope that's not completely antithetical to what you live every day.

I love you.

I love you, too. Thanks for being encouraging. You always manage to find articles and posts that are uplifting without being condescending.
