Unnecessary. The second you open an oven in Canada, the oven and whatever's inside of it is instantly cooled to 27 degrees by the surrounding cold weather.

Also, I believe you normally grill moose, so oven mits are unnecessary because you'll never use them. Little known fact: Canadians only eat moose. Only on the Canadian high holidays (like Canada Day, Victoria Day, Remembrance Day, and Boxing Day) are you allowed to eat the other Canadian delicacy, a giant meat pie filled with wolf meat shaped like a hockey player wearing a mountie hat.

This is only true for people who live in Alberta and Manitoba.

You're forgetting Jim Carrey, Terrance & Phillip, Michael Cera and Ed The Sock.

I'm not going to call people a nickname when referring to them. Okay, squirt thugs?

Unrelated to this quote but I miss the old MuchMusic. Especially when they used to play Fromage around Christmas.

I don't even know what happened to Ed The Sock.

Forgetting... intentionally leaving out after being surprised how many funny people came from Canada... pretty much the same thing.

LOL yeah Fromage was great around Christmas

Ed does a B-Movie show on CHCH (Hamilton) that's similar in format to MST3K.

Please do share details.

Here's the main things:

1. My one supervisor (in his 60's) has a really, really weird work relationship with this one kid that works there (19 or 20). My supervisor is a nice guy and doesn't really have anything bad to say about anyone, but the way they act at work is really freaking disturbing. Whenever they're together, my supervisor gets this like...giddy look on his face and giggles like mad. On another note, I'm gonna start calling GIGGAS, GIGGLES. Anyway...

The kid, regardless of which department he's in, follows my supervisor around EVERYWHERE, leaving us with his entire section, and when he doesn't know where he is, he'll ask somebody. They take their breaks at the same time, and this kid get a crap ton of hours despite not really doing his job. My supervisor let this kid go to the eyeglasses store in the mall to get his glasses fixed while he was on the clock (he was gone for nearly 2 hours). He's also really cocky and talks to some of the associates like he runs the place. The one night I worked with both of them, I was on the phone with a customer when I looked over and saw them slapping/tickling each other. The one guy I work with who has known the supervisor for 20+ years has said he's never seen him like this with anybody. Let me add, I view everybody regardless of any of their preferences/affiliations/ethnicities as equal, but two co-workers should not be doing things like this in the workplace.

2. I wasn't there (thankfully), but last Thursday one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard happened. This one guy that works there is on the older side, and isn't quite all there...nice guy, just not all there. He has a history of health issues but doesn't take care of them. I guess he had some sort of intestinal issue and wasn't feeling good, and went to the bathroom for a half hour at a time twice that night. That part is fine, the part that isn't fine is that dude crapped his pants. Not only did he do that, but he was literally leaving a trail of excrement down the aisle of the store. Apparently you could smell him from 10 feet away. He was not sent home and continued to wait on customers smelling like ****, AND the supervisor left the excrement on the floor until the maintenance guy came in the morning. The one guy told me he was gagging the whole time, and the supervisor told him "oh stop, it's not that bad". I would've vomited, guaranteed.

3. This ties into #1 a bit. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with this, but at my store, instead of writing people up and/or firing them, you're punished by getting your hours cut, and not just by like 5-10 hours, but to the point where you're lucky to get a shift. The one guy I talk to there had 12 hours combined in the last 3 weeks and has 5 hours combined this week and next. He does his job and is good with customers, but gets that. Then, there's a lady that's been there for 15 years and constantly gets compliments in our customer surveys. A few days ago she told us her hours got cut drastically and doesn't even have a shift next week. So you have a guy that gets 20+ hours a week who doesn't do a thing, but people that actually do their jobs get punished.

Apparently a few people have gone above our store manager and sent in complaints in the last few days, so I'm expecting the fireworks to start going off shortly.

What a poor way to let people know that milk is homogenized. LOL
