I thought the Travis Tritt video was a joke or spoof but it was serious, and I quickly turned it off and eliminated it from my mind.
You sound like a politician at a town hall meeting.
I was 16-17, it was perks. besides, i felt like robin hood.
No wonder sales are down.....quit wearing those tights already!
Those people at the Country Club I deliver to want to make three stops out of me. You need to drop that at the pro shop, that needs to go to the club office and no that can't go here, take it to the kitchen. Uh..Ma'am...You need to distribute it, you sign for one-you sign for all...buh-bye!
Sheet it up as three stops. In the consignee area type Pro Shop, Kitchen, Club Office, etc... Oh and btw, my whole family loves your new avatar.
holy crap, ease up. yes, i STOLE BEER when i was 17 because no one would sell it to me. you know what, looking back, i really don't feel bad about it. a few dozen beers from the 500 case stockpile they had was not a big deal.
you old men used to drink at 18, so kiss my butt.
i sucked at golf, so I would steal the second hand balls by the bag load...that I would fish out of the lakes as part of being paid minimum wage by a club owned by people that had to pay a $100,000 initiation fee to join. i hit most of them back into that lake anyway.
i'm going to go out on a limb and say most of you are very unhappy with your life and love knocking people who wear a tie.
So when you steal something at 17 it's okay? So because I was born before you and was able to drink alcohol at 18 and you're not, that makes it okay for you to break that law also? Minimum wage is a valid reason for theft? Why do you assume that most of us are unhappy with our lives? You sure have a lot to say, but none of it sounds like it's thought out very well.
this post makes me feel even better for my acquisitions. you can speak in hypotheticals all you want, but I was 17, didnt want to work at a grocery store (allthough, they had more beer there) and DID make minimum wage.
was it wrong? yes. do i feel bad after all these year? no. they treated employees like crap. black people wernt allowed in the dining room.
Will i let my kids get away with it? hell no, they are going to get a woopin, just like I would have.
and i didnt get a raise this year.
All of us were 17 at some point in our lives.
The reason it wasn't longer because I told the bartender that I don't have time for this. (I was in a good mood that day and the route was on the light side). I informed him that I know the pro shop won't sign for it and that if he wanted it today that it would be in his best interest to sign... or wait till tomorrow. The idiot golfer scowled at me and the bartender signed.
The point of my brining it up was the lack of courtousy from these people. So in short when someone tells me they are a golfer I immediately drop my respect level for them because I've dealt with enough buttheads. In fact I lump them right in with people I don't like dealing with like insurance agents, real estate people, lawyers, car dealers... etc.
Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Jews and let us not forget the Polish.
Man, don't try to throw that in anyone's face. We didn't pick your job nor do we make you stay.
BTW, Ghost......I'm a golfer so I guess any respect you may have had for me is completely gone now. You really shouldn't generalize how you feel about groups of people. Us plebian golfers are nothing like the elitist that you are trying to link us to.
I just lost respect for you when I found out you were from PA.
From another ordinary golfer, I agree.

danny, quit trying to make me out to be a bad guy. beleive it or not, I am cool as anyone else on this board, sure I STOLE a few brews and the only reason I would ever admit it on here is to sympathize with the people bitching about delivering to a country club! you call me a putz? grow up.
you know what really ginds my gears? retired people on a pension paid for by others that think they have earned a right to be a dick. good luck finding happiness on a message board that all you do is complain.
and boy have I kept my mouth shut about not getting a raise...that was in response to the person responding to my post....all in good fun. have you ever been worried about losing your job and then being happy to not get a raise? welcome to march of 2009.
You could be right and that might be the politically correct way but I've had enough bad experience with them to see a trend that has jaded me. Call me an anti-golfite I guess.
Had more evidence that golfers are worthless today... truck wasn't fueled up and the route has no diesel fuel-up spots except near the center so I had to fuel up before heading out and our air was late so that put me 25 min behind from the get go. Btw, I left it fueled up the day before he drove it. Lets see, the bulkhead key was missing off the key ring and not in the bulkhead door either. I found it during pre-trip left in the back door. So that means he had driven around all day with the bulkhead door open. Then there was that send again beater stop he said dumped in the back of the truck... turns out it was just a single metal part (overweight) in a box. So I'll say it was a combination of him not wanting to drive the distance to deliver it and not wanting to actually pick it up (overweight). He said he couldn't fuel up because he wanted to get to his golf event... whatever!! Oh yeah he was running late and skipped most of his lunch too.
Do you get paid while you fuel up the pkg car, wait for customers to sign, lug stuff around for customers?
Was sent to the country club to do a pick up. When I deliver to this Country club, I always Deliver to the main office. I was sent to the rear of th club where the pro shop is located. No way to drive there. Had to walk around the entire building down 1 1/2 flights of steps and around the back. There were 4 huge boxes of next day air (vlubs being shipped to a resort in florida). The "pro" treated me like a slave. I asked if he could drive the packages up to the truck in one of the 100+ carts parked outside the pro-shop. Answer "no". My reply, "ok, but next time don't be surprised to see a UPS truck coming down the cart path next time I am sent to do a pick up". I was pissed.
Every time I am at one of the several clubs I deliver to, I always day dream about driving the truck all over the course. Tear it up doing donuts and just going wild. Would love to see their faces.
You get paid by the hour, baby, so lug those things up those stairs, one at a time and as "carefully" as possible. My experience is so far removed from the bad ones expressed here. My pro shop and golf maintenance people are sooo nice. I even flag them down outside of the country club so they can grab the pkgs earlier than I would have delivered them.
