The Sears career of Leonard F. Shaner Jr. was a brief but memorable period in his life. Summary of Shaner's employment at Sears Shaner was at one point employed at his local Sears. Firsthand accounts paint him as an extremely poor employee known for being "retarded." He was hired only to stock shelves, but was known to ruin the sales of other employees. He was eventually banned from the sales floor when not stocking. He claimed that the other employees were "jealous of [his] technical knowledge," and were out to make sure that he never got promoted.[1] Shaner was so notorious for ruining sales, that co-workers would use him as a "sales floor howitzer" of sorts by sending him over to customers telling them that they had questions in order to prevent other employees from getting the sale. Len was so bad at sales, that he was given an "honorary" sales award, a clip art certificate not unlike one that a child would receive for cooperating with a dentist. Shaner was very proud of this "award" and would show it off to his co-workers as proof that he knew how to sell anything. They would laugh at him, causing him to get angry and storm off.[2] On one occasion, Shaner got sent home for attempting to sell candy bars to children during his shift. Claiming to be attempting to raise money for charity, Shaner simply found a discarded box of Baby Ruth bars in the trash and tried to make a quick buck.[3] Shaner is said to have been a very unpleasant individual to work with. He had at one point developed a crush on an attractive co-worker named Sheila, who was nicer to him than any of his other co-workers. She would go out of her way to help him, and he mistook her kindness for flirting, often addressing her as "Mrs. Shaner," which she would just laugh off. During Sheila's last week before her retirement, Shaner begged her for a hug goodbye as he was about to leave. Sheila obliged him with a halfhearted hug, but Shaner wrapped his arms around her and attempted to kiss her. Sheila wrenched herself free from his grip and punched him in the face, leaving a large purple welt on his cheek. Instead of apologizing, Shaner attempted to get her reprimanded. He was sent home, and Sheila stated that "she didn't want anyone to deal with any shit her last week," so she didn't make an issue out of the incident. On her last day of work, everyone had plans to meet at a local bar for a party. Shaner asked to go not to apologize for his behavior, but because he wanted to talk to Sheila's friends. He was told in no uncertain terms that if he came within ten feet of the bar, he would be beaten up. He begged some more, but was denied, and left the store.[4] Another incident involved a baby shower cake. As a co-worker was due to have a baby, her friends planned to throw her a shower and ordered a cake especially for the occasion. An employee had seen Shaner enter the break room and rip the cardboard box open to grab a fistful of cake. Before anyone could say anything, Shaner blurted out that it was his birthday despite the cake clearly saying "It's A Girl!" on it. The cake had to be thrown out and the manager apologized to the woman having the baby shower, paying out of pocket for a new cake.[5] len shaner jr How to use it? len shaner jr Shaner was frequently late to work, and would have to work after his appointed shift to make up the time. He got away with this due to being friends with a department manager. On one occasion, he claimed that he'd been late to work because of a flat tire. When asked how he got there despite having a flat tire, Shaner said that he'd inflated it as much as he could and made his way to the store. Taking advantage of the store's policy to appropriate tools for store use, Shaner scanned a screwdriver and opened it up. Another employee watched him go out to his car and stab his rear passenger side tire. As it turned out, this was a ploy by Shaner to get someone else to give him a ride home, or to hang out with the other employees after work. This included him begging teenage girls for a ride home. No one obliged, and Shaner ended up calling AAA and waiting in the darkened parking lot alone.[6] At one point, the store held a raffle in which customers could put their business cards into a fish bowl for a chance to win various prizes. Shaner would make fake business cards with various names on them, with his home number written on them. If he found the card of someone he didn't like in the bowl, he would scratch off their number and write his own on their card. Customer Service caught onto Shaner's scam almost immediately and decided to play a prank on him. Drawing one of his business cards, they told him that he'd won a free microwave, but that he'd have to pay to have it shipped to his house. Shaner, believing himself to be a master of disguise, said that that would be fine, but to ship it to his "home address," rather than the one on the card. They then sent Shaner a box filled with trash from the store's dumpster. Days later, Shaner came into the store visibly angry, but would not tell anyone why. The person he attempted to impersonate was later contacted and was delighted to learn that they had won a free microwave.[7] Shaner's train obsession was readily apparent during his time at Sears. At one point, he brought in a scrapbook filled with pictures of trains. Said scrapbook was described as looking like something a young child would make, and Shaner got angry when people laughed at it. He attempted to tell the manager, who laughed at him as well.[8] On another occasion, Shaner brought in a box full of homemade VHS tapes with train-related material on them (at a time when DVDs were more prevalent and VHS tapes were all but phased out). Opening up a combination VHS/DVD player meant for a customer, Shaner played a tape that was described by another employee as "a cacophony of screeching audio and train sounds, intermittently scattered with long winded close-ups of women walking down the street or in yards, going about their daily lives." The tape was shut off after five minutes, but the damage had been done. The tape was now stuck inside the player, effectively ruining it. Given the fact that they couldn't sell a broken player, and they wouldn't be getting any more of that particular model, Shaner had ruined yet another sale. He tried to complain that he'd been owed $20 for the cost of the tape, but was simply told to take his box back to his car and finish his shift. As he got the box, he'd discovered that someone had vandalized it. Looking as though he were about to cry, he took the box to his car and finished his shift in silence.[9] On one occasion, Shaner was assigned to unload a truck with Kiwi Farms user Gook Choy (who worked with Shaner at Sears, and whose stories provided all the information in this section) and a new employee named Eddie. It was a particularly grueling assignment, and after an hour, the men were not even an eighth of the way done. Shaner had already taken two breaks at this point. Hearing the sound of a soda can open, Eddie saw that Shaner had gone over to the store's merchandise computer and began browsing a train website. He went over and slapped the soda can out of his hand and then yelled at him, silencing him for the rest of the night.[10] Shaner was known to soil himself on the job. He pooped his pants on at least two separate occasions while working at Sears. On one occasion, he complained about having to help unload merchandise from the delivery trucks. After he claimed that making him unload the truck was "harassment of a disabled person," a manager called him out on this and brought up the time he showed his scrapbook around. Angered by this, Shaner fell over next to a wall and soiled himself. Unashamed, he said that his back had given out. The disgusted manager sent Shaner home for the day.[11] Shaner was barely capable of doing his job. Anything beyond scanning products with a Telxon would cause him to suddenly have to go to the bathroom and call an employee from the sales floor to do the work for him, which was discouraged because it interrupted sales. Eventually, he was told to stop doing this by a manager, so when he had to sign a manifest, he purposefully soiled himself, and was once again sent home.[12] Shaner's manager friend got fired eventually,[13] and without anyone there to protect him, Shaner was soon given the boot as well. Shaner attempted to smuggle a Craftsman ratchet set out of the store by hiding it under his large gut. He was caught when he tripped the alarms, and was fired on the spot and banned from the property. Shaner angrily threatened to sue the manager and even said he would talk to "Mister Sears himself." He then wrote threatening letters under pseudonyms, pretending to be angry customers unhappy with the store's service in an attempt to get his former coworkers in trouble. The manager quickly deduced who was behind these letters, and went to Shaner's house to talk with his mother about it. It is unknown what exactly happened after that, but it can be assumed that Shaner was punished, as the letters stopped after that.[14] len shaner jr How to get it? len shaner jr References 1.↑ Gook Choy, a former coworker of Shaner's, shares his first story about him 2.↑ The certificate story 3.↑ The candy story 4.↑ The retirement party story 5.↑ The baby shower story 6.↑ The parking lot story len shaner jr How to get it? len shaner jr 7.↑ The raffle story 8.↑ The scrapbook story 9.↑ The train tape story 10.↑ The unloading story 11.↑ The pants-shitting story 12.↑ the second pants shitting story 13.↑ the pants-shitting story mentions this 14.↑ From the first story; It elaborates a lot about Shaner's last night Retrieved from "https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/index.php?title=Sears_career_of_Leonard_F._Shaner_Jr.&oldid=8445" len shaner jr How to dowload it? len shaner jr len shaner jr
