    They sent you to CLEVELAND?

    You were a vendor for the Brownies? For Modell's Meatballs?

    That explains a lot. Quite a lot. You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies.

    Yup, I was the guy who came in early, took responsibility and stayed late; never cared about the score, only what inning they were in so I could out my bank. More times than not, I didn't find out the score until I got home.

    All I have to show for it is a Gold Wristwatch.

    "What inning they were in?"

    When the Browns were playing?

    All righty then. Nothing more need be said.

    Well, OK, just one more thing. I am reminded of this dialogue from Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

    [a baseball game is on television]
    Ed Rooney: What's the score?
    Pizza Joint Owner: Nothin' nothin'.
    Ed Rooney: [not really listening] Who's winning?
    Pizza Joint Owner: The Bears.

    Let me help you with this, from April to September (61 home games) in Great American Ballpark, I managed the In-seat Service Pantry for the season ticket holders. Starting in August, lasting until January, I performed the same job at Paul Brown Stadium. The servers equipped with hand-held Point-of-sales units transmitted the orders back to the pantry where Cooks grilled, Runners assembled the orders and, delivered the food to the seats; from Hot Wings and Hot Bratwursts to Ice Cream, Salads and Sushi. Alcohol and Beverage service was available.

    I came in early because, I took inventory and received the "Bank" for the Servers. During the game, I managed the kitchen/pantry and, at the end of the seventh ending or the third quarter, I closed down sales, ran the DSR for each Server and collected the monies and balanced my bank. I oversaw the clean-up and closing, did a final inventory and dropped of the bank at the cashier window. The game was long over when I left.

    When bused to Cleveland ( Detroit and St. Louis) we were all Beer Vendors; sales of alcohol stopped at the end of the third quarter.

    Ron, I remember see somewhere that you were once employed in the Fast-Food Service, Burger King I think; if so, you know the drill. Remind me to tell you about some Fast-Food management nightmares.

    I see the humor in my previous post went right over your head.

    The Browns.

    What inning.

    Never mind. If you haven't gotten it by now...

    And yes, I spent 3 years as a Store Manger for a BK franchise. We can trade war stories sometime, but in another more appropriate thread.

    That's because you threw a ball that was high and away from the strike zone or, maybe it's because I'm vertically challenged.

    Whenever I see the title of this thread pop up, I alway hear that Guns & Roses song in my head, "Welcome to the Bunghole."
