My brother said they went through 50+ kegs in the first day, tried to sink a boat, and overheated his jetski in the first 48hours. Sounds pretty fun to me .

Congrats on the new job! Looks like a bunch of none stop, hard ***, hot days ahead, but atleast you have a job.
Make sure all your fellow employees know how to lift an F-Body correctly. I took mine to DT last week and some newbie put the jacks in the wrong place, bent both front fender wells out. Now I have to find a body shop. I think it is a simple fix I could do myself but since they are paying for it I may have a body shop do it. Haven't decide yet.

there sure is a bunch of people on here that work at discount. I do too, been there for three years through school. Its pretty fun job but you have to work you *** off all the time. but they pay pretty good for a part time job.

i am an assistant manager at the one on sheldon road. we do not open at 7 that is just what time most of us get there. as far as inventory, it is only the managers that have to stay, techs dont have that pleasure. i have been there for about 3 years total, i took a year off. it is a very great company to work for, hopefully in a few years i will be moved up more.
