4. We wanted people do something fun, because the place has not been fun for a while
5. Think about this also if we payout a $1600 bonus it would have been taxed at 40% and the reward would have been less

I know this ihateblockbuster.com but I really feel like this was a good program that we were able to offer in the middle of BK. I would have love to do something like this with my store team. I did take them to Dave and Busters once every six months, but that was out of my own pocket.

What about all those raises that never took place. Except for Keyes

Oh well... our entire district used our payouts on giftcards... What're they gonna do, fire the DM? Oh wait... too late...

Well, since the Bankruptcy Court said no that is a different matter. I do love the year long zoo memberships, perhaps some could even have bought a year membership to an amusement park ...

At least for a little bit you guys got to feel what it is like to be Jim Keyes ... lol ...

So we ordered a Hummer Limo to drive us downtown and we went to a very expensive all you can eat steakhouse. OMG the food was sooo good the steak just melted in your mouth and I tried everything they offered I was stuffed. After that we went to see Limitless at tw
he movie theater witch was a very good film.Uj

Was it worth all the sales pressure? No not really it would of just been better if we could just divided the money between all of us.

But I known what corporate was trying to do with the payouts they were trying to get some of the money back if we ended up not spending it that night. But we blew the whole the thing we actually had $160 left witch we gave to the limo driver as a tip.

That's bad ass were you able to get filet minon?

that's actually a great idea. memberships/subscriptions are NOT tangible items.

haha can you imagine how many blockbuster employees would pad their netflix subscriptions?

Our event was last night. We had tickets to see "When Bullfrogs Sing Opera". At eight in the morning, I was awakened by the borrowed manager who was going to do a double in my closing store. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital in the middle of the night trying to pass a kidney stone. So my team went off without me and I did a lonely double. My best friend's store is DYNAMITE team in a Blockbuster box. They go to Universal Studios in Orlando this week. They have enough money to buy a yearly pass, a "Meal Deal" (all food and drink in both parks for a day), a "Dinner and a Movie Deal" at City Walk between the two parks. I am in awe!
