The day started off normal enough but it went a little strange from there.
CRAZY GUY
Made the mistake of saying hello to a man who I came to find was at least a little bit off of his rocker. He was standing right in front of me telling me how he was called by the police about a recent missing person, his Mercedes was stolen, he knows Sheriff Gillespie personally, he has a license (not sure for what), and he can dance like Michael Jackson (did I mention he was like 70 and white). I literally told this guy that I didn't give a shit about his life and he needed to get the hell away from me (very out of character for me). I di see him make a buck or two for some dance he did for some tourist. Let's just say it was a 70 year old white guy with no rhythm impersonating Michael Jackson. I did get a good laugh out of that.
SEIZURE GUY
Not long after that a guy came by and had his photo taken. He and his family started to walk off without looking at the photos (no big deal, it happens). A moment later they started back to look at the photos and I noticed a gentleman acting a little weirdly. I didn't know what to make of it at first because we see so many strange people on the Las Vegas Strip. I soon realized that the gentleman was having a full-on epileptic seizure. I couldn't do anything to help catch him. Luckily his wife was right behind him to catch him so he didn't hit his head. I gave the family my margaritaville hoodie so that he wouldn't bang his head on the sidewalk. That hoodie is toast since he bit his tongue and bled all over it. Not a big deal, it was only done so that he would be protected and/or comfortable until the ambulance arrived. The paramedics showed up and got him upright and transported him to the hospital to be checked out. Hope he and his family are doing well.
MAN IN THE BUSHES
Shortly thereafter a homeless guy decided he needed to sleep in the bushes next to our workstation. Had to take a photo. Hoe could I resist.
I titled the photo " What Happens in Vegas, Passes Out in Vegas"
HE was chased away by management shortly after this photo was taken.
RUBY IS A BAD GIRL
Ruby is a Green Wing Macaw. While I was inside the store a grop came up and had their photos taken with the birds. While holding the birds a lady in the group had her finger bitten by Ruby. I felt bad for her until I asked my assistant what happened and he told me he had told the lady to not touch the bird. Guess what the lady did the first chance she got......people are stoooooopid.
SUMMARY
Overall the people on the strip are not the people of old. They are cheap and looking for something for free. Nobody wants to pay for anything or what we offer is to expensive. We are too expensive but a 40 dollar cocktail is okay. Everybody, employees, the birds, tourists, were all annoying today. I couldn't wait to go home today. My new employee, Jeremy, did a great job today and he has been a fast learner. Might make him my new shift supervisor so that I can take some time off and rest.
