The DU Lounge

We didn't have an Atari but we did have a Commodore 64. I believe it was purchased from Target.


I worked at K-Mart from February to August/September of 1994. It was a terrible job and they played favorites with their employees. Also, they paid in cash.

One would think this would be fantastic until one time I was $100 short in my paycheck. What an employee would do is go to the window of the payroll person on payday. They would hand the employees a sealed envelope. I thought my envelope for that week was very thin. I opened the envelope and my cash didn't match my paycheck stub. I refused to initial the paperwork.


The payroll person says, "The payroll came out correctly."


I said, "I'm not sure how that happened when I'm $100 short in my envelope."


I worked later that day and was called into the office. I was young. A few higher ups asked me if there was money sticking together in my envelope.

I explained that for the amount of hours that I worked (summer time) that my envelope was thin. I opened the envelope up and there was $100 dollars missing and the amount didn't match my paycheck stub. There wasn't any money was stuck together. Money stuck together doesn't make the envelope thin anyways."

I didn't quit right away, it was a few months down the road when I put my 2 weeks notice in. I had enough of K-Marts bull crap. For all I know the lady in charge of the payroll could have placed that $100 in her envelope when she counted the money.
