All right, Mojo on the Morning Show. So I feel like we need a segment on the show for Shannon's son, Smith, because this kid is the greatest. And he gets himself into a little, you know, trouble every now and again. But he makes for great conversation on the radio.

00:02:16 - 00:02:50 | Speaker 7:

He is five now, five and a half almost, if you ask him. His half birthday is quickly approaching. He keeps reminding me. We were at Michael's yesterday grabbing a few things for I'm trying to, you know, get ready for Thanksgiving, but also decorate a little bit for Christmas. So my house feels cozy when everybody comes over on Thursday. And so if you've if you've ever been to Michael's, you get into the line and this time of year, it's a longer line and they it's like a maze of crap. OK, it's just like HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls. You get in the line.

00:02:50 - 00:02:51 | Speaker 4:

All at child's eye level, too.

00:02:51 - 00:04:04 | Speaker 7:

Yes, it's so much crap that you didn't anticipate needing, but all of a sudden you think you need it. And at Michael's specifically, it's all of, like, the holiday candies, the stocking stuffers. I mean, it's, like, good crap. So they have this humongous bin. And, Mike, I know you know what these are of squishmallows. Yes. They're, like, these really soft stuffed animals, okay? And they're, like, bigger. You know, like, they're a good size. But they had it piled so high. It was about as tall as me. I'm five feet tall. So Smith and I are chatting as we're getting up closer to the cash registers and of course he goes to pull one from the pile, the middle of the pile of squishmallows and the whole tower goes tumbling into the checkout line. And thank goodness there was this sweet mom with a baby who helped Smith and myself clean it all up and I really just want to give her a shout out right now because she then DM'd me on Instagram and said she was too chicken to say something. but she was the one who helped us put all these back. So Rebecca L. Ellert, you are an angel. Thank you so much for being so kind and not judging me as you helped my child and I pick up all of these squishmallows.

00:04:04 - 00:04:05 | Speaker 4:

What did the person behind the counter do?

00:04:06 - 00:04:06 | Speaker 7:

Nothing.

00:04:07 - 00:04:15 | Speaker 4:

Because I have to be honest with you. I've been to Michael's maybe five or ten times in my lifetime. Usually when the kids had a project to do, we had to go there.

00:04:16 - 00:04:16 | Speaker 7:

Right.

00:04:16 - 00:04:23 | Speaker 4:

Not a fan of the store. Not a fan of it because I feel like the people that work there just seem like they're miserable.

00:04:23 - 00:04:54 | Speaker 7:

Well, and there was only one cashier. I was just going to say, every time I've been in, one cashier. There were probably about, this is not an exaggeration, 20 plus people in line. One cashier, but they also do have the self-checkouts. Well, the problem was people were having trouble with the self-checkouts. And so that was causing an issue. And I wasn't checking out. I was actually returning some stuff in this particular trip and buying some stuff. So I needed to see the live lady who was there, poor thing, struggling. Live lady. The live, like the real in-person lady.

00:04:54 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 4:

Who, by the way, is not really, not always really alive. Like, let me tell you.

00:05:00 - 00:05:08 | Speaker 3:

about the people that work at that store. The people that work at that store are usually, it's usually like, you know, an older or middle-aged woman.

00:05:08 - 00:05:09 | Speaker 4:

This was an older woman.

00:05:09 - 00:05:13 | Speaker 3:

And then a teen kid who could care less about being there. This was so spot on.

00:05:13 - 00:05:41 | Speaker 4:

This poor woman, I felt bad because if you've ever seen Zootopia, I've referenced this before. You know the scene with the sloths. I have to walk out of the room when that scene comes on, because... This was this poor woman to the point where the two little old ladies Who were in front of Smith and I The lady was taking so long She finally looked at me And she looked at Smith And she goes He can just have my change When she finally manages To get it out of the drawer I said okay thank you Smith was so excited

00:05:41 - 00:05:48 | Speaker 3:

Could you imagine if she had to pick up The squish balls on the floor The whole display She would have still been working on it right now

00:05:48 - 00:05:53 | Speaker 2:

I mean they must not pay What everyone else pays Because I've noticed since the pandemic They literally only have one person Working on that stuff

00:05:53 - 00:05:58 | Speaker 4:

And you feel so bad for that person Right I mean we're laughing But I really did feel bad for her

00:05:58 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 2:

They're doing the best they can

00:05:59 - 00:06:02 | Speaker 4:

And everybody's impatient in the line. And yeah, and she's doing the best she can.

00:06:02 - 00:06:02 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah.

00:06:03 - 00:06:05 | Speaker 4:

Very slowly.

00:06:05 - 00:06:48 | Speaker 3:

I'm going to go on record and I'm going to say that that store is one of those stores where it's like that. And then the other one is, have you been to a Staples or an Office Depot or any of those places at all in any time recently? So I had to go there because I wanted, I'm very specific. For those that don't know this, you may see it in the videos. I have a new Sharpie that I use pretty much every week. I use a Sharpie to death, okay, to the point that I go. So I like Sharpies. So I was contemplating, do I just order them on Amazon or I drive by a Staples store every single day on my way to and from work? I'm like, you know what? I haven't been in a while, and I used to love going there for office or for back-to-school stuff.

00:06:48 - 00:06:55 | Speaker 2:

And let's be honest. They employ our neighbors, so I could rather go in a store than buy on Amazon. Well, I don't know if these people are my neighbors,

00:06:55 - 00:07:21 | Speaker 3:

But let me tell you, the people that work at that store are also interesting, too. It's just an interesting thing. And I don't know. I'm going to throw this out there. I'm going to ask you this question. What store has the most interesting people working there? And then tell us about what they're like. Because there are certain stores that you go into, like Michael's, you're right. The old lady sloth that's there, you know, working.

00:07:22 - 00:07:37 | Speaker 4:

Slow as hell. So, you know, I'm going to give a shout out to my favorite employees, Trader Joe's. Oh, my gosh. Make you feel like you're beautiful. Make you feel like you're buying the best. What aisle did you get this in? This must have just been put out today. Oh, good choice.

00:07:37 - 00:07:38 | Speaker 3:

They fake the funk very well.

00:07:38 - 00:07:44 | Speaker 4:

Good. I don't think it's fake. I think it is genuine joy. Do you need help bringing this out to your car? Can we do this?

00:07:44 - 00:07:50 | Speaker 3:

Can we ask the Trader Joe's people to get a part-time gig at Michael's just to kind of change it up a little bit?

00:07:50 - 00:07:57 | Speaker 2:

Because it's the culture Trader Joe's. They take care of their staff and they seek out those people so that it adds to the experience.

00:07:57 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 4:

They gave me a bouquet of flowers for free one day because the guy just said I looked like I needed some flowers to brighten my day.

00:08:04 - 00:08:28 | Speaker 3:

Can I say this then? Who are you? Then can I say that maybe Trader Joe's needs to have like, I don't know, Craftsy stuff in the back of the store. Do some other stuff. But it is wild. And then the Apple store is an interesting one. I'll give you, because we're doing positives, the Apple store is another one of those stores. Greatest people. They must pay those guys a million dollars a year because those people all seem like they're really happy and everything's good. But let's focus on the bads.

00:08:28 - 00:08:29 | Speaker 4:

Okay, all right. Let's go on the bad.

00:08:29 - 00:08:58 | Speaker 3:

Oh, and also, you cannot tell the difference between the people that work in the dispensary or the people that work at, what's the t-shirt shop in the mall? Hot Topic. Hot Topic. That's a great one. Hot Topic and dispensary. As a matter of fact, I think they almost kind of work together. It's like I'm annoying you. I just want a Nirvana t-shirt. Stop being so angry that I'm there. What's going on, Sarah? How are you?

00:08:58 - 00:09:36 | Speaker 1:

Hey. Hey, guys. By the way, I listen to you guys like every morning, and I love you guys so much. We love you, too. I love you guys. I'll see you at the Jingle Ball, too. Yes. I'll see you there. So something I want to comment about, I used to work at a Kroger, and you know when you're at self-checkout, you just want to go in there, buy your stuff, and leave? Well, there's this lady who I used to work with, and she always checks out, like, what I'm buying. It's like, I just want to buy my stuff and leave. Like, I don't want to talk to anybody while I'm there. But she's like, oh, you're buying this stuff. It's like, yes, I am. I want to leave.

00:09:37 - 00:09:46 | Speaker 3:

I get it. Sometimes in self-checkout, I go there because I don't want to talk to anybody. But they're nice if anything gets rung up wrong. They're right there to reset the whole system.

00:09:46 - 00:09:50 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, like, if I stand, like, wine or anything, they're, like, right there. I'm like, thank you.

00:09:51 - 00:09:51 | Speaker 3:

Yeah.

00:09:51 - 00:09:52 | Speaker 1:

Although I look like I'm 18.

00:09:53 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 3:

I will say this, that, and listen, I don't speak poorly at all about Kroger because I'm

00:10:00 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 4:

I love them. I put my voice to their announcements and stuff like that. They have had some of the best people working at the one by me, the union-like one. It's unbelievable lately. I don't know if they just did a rehiring or something like that. Yeah. But I was having the hardest time finding things because I wait until the last minute to go do the Thanksgiving shopping. And it's unbelievable. And this kid was like a – I'm telling you, he was no older than like 17 years old. This kid He found I had to describe to him the onions that you put on a green bean casserole What they look like This kid was like running up and down Every single aisle And got it for me What's up Tony

00:10:41 - 00:10:44 | Speaker 3:

Hey good morning love y'all

00:10:44 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 4:

We love you too what's going on Tony

00:10:46 - 00:11:05 | Speaker 3:

Alright so I would say Home Depot they're the greatest Because it's like if you need electrical work They got electricians and no Pay work it's like they have professions That actually done the stuff And me, actually, been an employee a very long time ago when I was in high school. They have, like, classes called PK where they actually teach you. Only problem.

00:11:05 - 00:11:13 | Speaker 4:

I got a problem, though, Tony. They make me feel inferior, though, when I do ask a question sometimes. Sometimes I get the eye rolls from those guys.

00:11:14 - 00:11:14 | Unknown:

Really?

00:11:14 - 00:11:38 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, sometimes. I feel like Lowe's gives less of an eye roll, you know, maybe because it's more of a bougie Home Depot, right? Okay, what about Menards? Menards is elite. First off, Menards, I get lost in the place It's so big You can go in, if you wanted to You could go into Menards And every season you can actually live in If you want to It's crazy Have you looked at their Christmas stuff?

00:11:38 - 00:11:45 | Speaker 6:

I've never been in a Menards Okay, but I'm scared for myself Because I know me I would need two cars

00:11:45 - 00:12:10 | Speaker 4:

And they always have a nice little old lady At the Menards by my house That works up in the front That's always so sweet just greeting you Yeah, that story Oh, yeah. Mike, when you go into Menards, do you ever go in there and you don't remember what you were trying to buy because you get so caught off guard by the end caps? Yes. Yeah, I was supposed to get a toilet seat, but I ended up with eight different projects that I'm still working on. Jordan, who are you calling out?

00:12:11 - 00:12:42 | Speaker 2:

Hey, I am calling out Dollar General. I don't know how it is in different cities, but apparently my city, they are all very interesting employees. and my husband is not from around here and he never knew why i didn't want to go to dollar general i needed like something quick and he finally went to one by me i live in muskegon and he realized very quickly why i never want to go there they are sweet people but very very

00:12:42 - 00:12:47 | Speaker 4:

interesting well they got to deal with some interesting people too i'm sure i'm sure that

00:12:47 - 00:12:57 | Speaker 2:

that's fair as well but i did go to a really nice one not in muskegon i was like oh this is what a normal dollar general should be like yeah so uh i think going to any store in muskegon you might

00:12:57 - 00:13:04 | Speaker 4:

00:13:04 - 00:13:33 | Speaker 1:

00:13:33 - 00:13:38 | Speaker 4:

00:13:38 - 00:13:42 | Speaker 7:

00:13:42 - 00:14:04 | Speaker 4:

00:14:04 - 00:14:20 | Speaker 7:

understand it's like two miles away from each other just management different culture in the store yeah there's a store in somerset called aritzia which is a woman's clothing oh my gosh They had an army of women working in that store. We were in there. It's locally owned, isn't it?

00:14:20 - 00:14:28 | Speaker 5:

It is not locally owned. It's a Canadian company, but that is, I think, the only Michigan location. So people come from, like, everywhere to go there.

00:14:28 - 00:14:31 | Speaker 7:

Oh, my gosh. I can't believe how awesome this staff was. And they had so many people.

00:14:31 - 00:14:33 | Speaker 5:

And they have a coffee shop inside the store. Oh, I know.

00:14:33 - 00:14:47 | Speaker 7:

That's where I sat and smelled all the coffee because I didn't want to look at women's clothes. But then you go right down the street. I was in Dunham's, and I couldn't find an employee. I'm like, hello, hello, hello. Anyone, anyone. I'm like, well, I guess maybe I should stock the shelves while I'm here.

00:14:47 - 00:14:55 | Speaker 4:

All right, so here's the deal. We're going to do some new staffing here on the Mojo in the Morning Show, and we're just going to hire nothing but Chick-fil-A and Target workers. Like, can you imagine?
