Description:
The ninth job I was fired from.

The Gap. (Winter c.1994)

The whole motive for getting a job here was just to mess with this horrible slave owning world-dominating-style-homogenizing corporation.

I finally got fired for telling the evil obese cheerleader managers that I would show up early with Donuts before a big corporate visit, and didn't. The manager actually yelled, "You knew we had a corporate visit today, and you know how important they are! You have to take responsibility for your actions and you will never work for the Gap again!" in her whiney perturbed ex cheerleader turned 300 pound lunker raspy frat party girl voice onto my answering machine while my friends and I were out skateboarding a few hours after I was supposed to show up.

I also got my friend Adam hired only so he could steal jeans and sell them at second hand stores. He would throw them away in the dumpster and pick them up after work. He told me that he saw it on the Gap's "no stealing" training video and that there was no way that they would suspect someone of using a method taught to them by their own "no stealing" video. He finally did get caught but only after making enough money to buy a really fancy car alarm, a show quality stereo for his car, some super fancy talking radar detector, a custom tint job on the windows, full racing suspension, 17" imported Japanese racing rims, HKS exhaust, AEM cold air intake, a custom Fuba antenna, color matching with shaved moldings, special headlights and he even bought some pimped out tropical style black lacquer salt water fish tank and bed set for his room, so by the time they fired him he didn't care anyway.

At one point I was put in charge of the changing rooms and instantly called everyone I knew, even people I didn't really like that much, to bring their friends and come take as much stuff as they wanted for free while I was working.

I took all of the manager's training manuals and sold them to my friend who wanted them for reseach he was doing towards a business degree.

The managers would search you as you left so it just made this task more fun. One time the manager asked me what the folder was for and I said school even though I am positive she knew it was one of her training manuals. A few weeks after I took all of the folders and videos, she asked me if I had seen them and I told her I had no idea what they were or where they kept them in the first place. I saw her go and ask someone else after that so I knew they had no idea who did it.

I also corrupted another manager at this store by talking him into buying cigarettes with money out of the register and smoking them even though his girlfriend made him promise on their relationship to quit forever. I later talked him into taking lunch on company money and company time for two hours at a fancy Mexican restaurant with multiple margaritas when we had to drive some stuff up to another store in L.A. even though they gave us a 100 dollar bill said to bring back all change and receipts for all the stuff we bought. We didn't bring back change or receipts but we ate three meals, shopped at two different 99 cent stores, bought all the candy we could ever want at a candy store in the L.A. mall and drank a bunch of margaritas in under 8 hours.
