So I've decided to write about my store's last two months of existence.
I don't know when it was built but it's been around since the 50s. I just learned about it back in 2007 when I worked for RGIS Inventory. My girlfriend at the time had to tell me where it was. "Right next to the Farmer Jack we go to!" Well Farmer Jack went out of business in July of that year. Anyway, I did the inventory for that store among other JCPenney locations and decided I would apply there. They hired me right away and I took it, even though I had an interview at the mall store.

So, the store closes on December 30, 2010. Which is Saturday of Week 52 of the fiscal year or whatever. Which makes sense to me, but others think they should have stayed open through the end of the lease, which I can't remember. April of either 2010 or 2011 I think.
It's funny, some employees predicted that the store would close when the lease was up because it was also around the time the manager of our store could retire.
Liquidation begins December 7, the typical eight weeks before closing. And I still don't know a damn thing. I thought hours would be cut, but I have 32 hours that week. I guess company sales/prices will be cut, but I have not heard if we are going to stop taking returns or stop getting new merchandise in, and I haven't heard about being transferred.
So I may use this space in the next two months to jot down anything, everything or absolutely nothing about work. haha. So be prepared.
