JACTICTATION

The Seven Basic Plot Lines

1. Over Coming the Monster.

I first met Eric Brenner at my
job interview for a cashier position
at Home Depot. Eric had been with
Home Depot for 20 years and bragged
about how only the district manager
could fire him, but he could fire me
for any reason.

2. Rags to Riches.

After several years of insults and
sneering hate from Eric Brenner.
I filed a harassment lawsuit against
him and Home Depot. It was discovered
that many complaints had been made against
Eric and the Home Depot lawyers
wrote me a check for $5,0000.

3. The Quest!

Eric Brenner fired me for a shortage
in my cashiering. The store had begun
to accept electronic checks and I handed
an eight hundred dollar check back to the
customer. No one told me that my register
was not excepting electronic checks.
The store took a loss and I got fired.

4. Voyage and Return.

Eric played the Beatles "Nowhere Man"
over the store PA as I was walked out the store.
The assistant manager said, "Don't use us as a
recommendation."
I got another job at better pay and I enjoy
shopping at the Home Depot.
Most of the people I worked with have been fired
or moved on.
The assistant manager got fired.
Eric retired.

5. Comedy.

I think there is humor in most tragedy.
Home Depot has hardly any cashiers and relies
on self-check out. But, they still have cashier
appreciation week. I find that ironic.

6. Tragedy.

A friend of mine, who was a Home Depot
head cashier died from lung cancer.
He was fired for late punches when he
began cancer treatment. His Home Depot
insurance was canceled and he relied on
his wife's teacher's insurance.
It was mean and sad.

7. Rebirth!

I feel confident I will survive
Home Depot.
