Since the weather has cooled down and the price on the Nestle Water will be going back up soon, we will no longer be placing weekly pallet orders.

Subject: NO MORE WATER PALLET ORDERS

Date: Thursday, September 27, 2007, 10:25AM

A lot of you have already responded to me ordering pallets of water this morning. PLEASE RE-READ THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE….. WE ARE NOT PLACING ANYMORE WATER PALLET ORDERS.

So we sell split cartons at our store. That is, you can get 5 of one kind of cigarette and 5 of another kind (has to be the same brand but can be a different flavor) and it will still only be the carton price (which is significantly less than buying 10 individual packs).

The point of that statement is this: I had a lady come in today and buy 3 bronson menthol light 100s. her total was 8.90 after tax.

To keep up on the math here, a single pack of Bronson cigarettes is 3.32 after tax. There is a discount when you buy three (3 packs for 8.90) and then a carton price (more discounts) of 25.08 or something. If I mis-remembered the carton cost, it is by pennies.

ANYWAY, back to the story. So she bought 3 bronson menthol light 100s. then she hands me the same credit card again, and (for a friend or something) buys three packs of Bronson light 100s and three packs of Bronson menthol 100s. the total on that transaction was 17.80.

17.80 + 8.90 = 26.70. As I stated above, a carton is 25.08. she spent 1.62 MORE for 1 less pack of cigarettes. I told her that if she had bought a mixed carton, she would have saved money AND gotten an additional pack of cigarettes, but she told me that since the other 6 packs were for a friend, that’s how it had to be.

Look, you moron, why don’t you divide 25.08 by 10- that will get you 2.508. let’s round it up to 2.51. your friend would pay you 15.06, and save almost three dollars (compared to the original purchase of 17.80, the friend’s new cost is 15.06) your cost would go up slightly (the majority of the savings is on the friend’s end, not the purchasers, if you do this fairly)- you would spend 1.12 more, BUT get another pack of cigarettes out of the deal!

Or you could simply tell your friend that it was 17.80 (which 6 packs DOES cost), and keep all of the savings to yourself. You’d end up getting 4 packs of cigarettes for… 7.28!

But NO, that’s how it has to be.

These kind of people should NOT be allowed to go into convenience stores, let alone spend their own money.

Tracy! Check this link out! Scroll down until you see where it says “predecessor?” what does that say? :)

Re: Recent Inventory & Subsequent rearrangement

John,

I haven’t seen anything on the whereabouts of pallet 14993 since we recently rearranged the warehouse. It has some important and time-sensitive cargo that I really need isolated, if someone was to just to stumble over it there could be a potential incident. Please assign several people to find pallet 14933. when they find it have them report back to me and make sure that they don’t. Touch. Anything.

Subj: Recent Inventory & Subsequent rearrangement

Director Burke-

Several people have reported missing items since the last inventory. It’s a little strange because the majority of these items were accounted for at the time of the inventory, but seem to have disappeared since. Several artifacts recovered from sites 2 and 3, which were supposed to be routed to Delta, have disappeared.

Alpha logged a report stating some of the items had turned up there, but that shouldn’t be possible. The distance, number of clearance checks involved, and time frame should make it truly impossible for anything to get from Sites and Research all the way back to Alpha Labs.

Strange stuff has been going on, but this one really has all of us in S&R scratching our heads.
