Strews

So in working in the elegant community that I am so fortunate to travel to every day. Our guests come up with their own terms for items. One of the most common is the strew. Of the odd names people come up with its really not that far off from its actual name of screw. But its kindof funny when you are spending your day working in the screw aisle to get a chuckle when someone calls you ignant for not finding the screw for their babies crib that they bought out of a back of a truck with no hardware.

Working in the screw aisle is one of the most miserable things to do at my store. Some people like it because its a time waster, but I see it more like serving time. There are over 3,000 different screws in the aisle, each put out of place. It like a lego set without the instructions, or mixing 3 of those 10,000 piece puzzles together without having the picture of any of them to figure out which way is up. It gets frustrating trying to find the stuff, then add of the stupidity of people coming to purchase screws.People are under the impression that we will have every screw ever made just for them, and it will be cheap. They bring in broken pieces of Chinese made crap and think through the power of hardware I can solve their problems for 15 cents.
