Hallmark

I worked at Hallmark for 5 years. And with every passing year, I saw the place go more and more downhill. The owner stopped paying the bills regularly, the store became more and more empty, the merchandise cheaper and cheaper. I had the background fear towards the end that I would go to cash my paycheck and it would bounce. I was talking to Keely today, and she informed me that it finally happened. He had just paid 25 women, and all of those paychecks will bounce because he had been paying people on his overdraft protection and it ran out, I guess. How does he have any staff left? If that happened to me, I believe I would not come into work until I could be paid. And really, who would want to return after that? I hope all of those people can find new jobs, I really feel bad for them. I mean, I hate my job but at least I get paid consistently and pretty well for a retail job. Lately I had been feeling nostalgic for when I worked at Hallmark and things were easier, but this snapped me right back to reality. I am lucky I got out when I could.
