TracFone Motorola EX124G

Being a newbie to the cell phone craze, I recently became a huge fan of Net10 pre-paid cell phones. When I got my first Net10 smart phone, the LG900, I felt like I was stepping in high-cotton. However, now that the new is wearing off the LG900 with its QWERTY keyboard, my eyes have been drawn to the world of touch-screen phones. It seems that the touch screen phones would be so much easier to navigate and have a better display screen. To get to the point, recently as I was browsing the web, I came across the Motorola EX124G that is currently offered by the pre-paid wireless retailer TracFone. The Motorola EX124G is a touch-screen smart phone that is available through TracFone.

I was excited when I saw the EX124G offer from TracFone, but I was even more excited when I saw reports on the web that this pre-paid touch screen baby is also offered by Net10. When I upgrade to touch-screen technology, I will probably go with a touch-screen phone from Net10 due to their low rates. I do not use my phone much, so Net10's 300 minute/60 days of service is a sufficient amount of minutes for me. I do not know when I will get my touch-screen phone, but the Motorola EX124G has me excited at the prospect of having a pre-paid touch screen smart phone.

Cracker Barrel Cutting Jobs in Lebanon

Cracker Barrel Cuts 60 Positions - NewsChannel5.com Nashville News, Weather & Sports

It would really be interesting to know the positions that have been eliminated and how it will affect the service performance of the home office. Could this streamlining also trickle down to the stores and cause a reduction in management staff? At store 425, a training store for managers there seems to be a steady influx of new managers, with the home office cutting back, will this mean that there will be a slow down in hiring new managers? Perhaps a slow down in hiring at all levels? Who knows? Only time will tell.

The Crack Bar

Not wanting to relive the Crack Bar scandal from last week, but I was thinking. What if it wasn't a member of the Crack Bar that disclosed certain posts? What if somehow Cracker Barrel management has access to the Crack Bar group? That may sound unlikely, but how likely is that someone in the group would share a post from the group that would hurt someones feelings. My point is, be careful what you post. Do not make any posts about managers, MITs, fellow employees or guests that you would not want to share to their face. I know I left the group, but please share this with others in the group. It could save a lot of drama at work, save some hurt feelings or maybe even somebodies job.

Best Dressed MIT

Today Brian Green started his training as our latest Manager in Transition. ZZ Top sings that women go crazy over a sharp dressed man, Brain was a sharp dressed man today. In crisp green, freshly pressed green slacks and dress shirt replete with tie, I believe that Brain was the sharpest dressed MIT that I have seen pass through our training store. Brian is off to a good start; if Brian's managing is as sharp as his appearance today, Cracker Barrel will have one fine manager. Having watched Brian work his way up the ranks through the years, I have seen a transformation in his life as he has grown as a worker to attain the position he holds today. I hope the best for Brian as moves forward in his management training. I believe he will make a fine Cracker Barrel manager.

Goodby Xavier

Tonight I said goodbye to a manager who I have grown to love and respect, Xavier. I believe Xavier and I shared a mutual respect for one another. To feel that another man respects you is an awesome thing, to feel that they respect your skills as a worker is better. In a job field where sometimes you get little recognition for a job well done, it feels good when you sense that a manager notices your job performance. I will miss Xavier as he leaves store 425 in Canton, Georgia to go to the Kennesaw store just down the road. While at our store Xavier tried to encourage the workers to work hard and to do the job right. I hope the best for Xavier, a manger that I consider as a friend.

Proper Tipping at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

While some that dine with us may not realize it, servers at Cracker Barrel make their income off of the tips from their tables. Cracker Barrel pays their servers standard server pay, which is usually eaten up by taxes, insurance, etc.. So if you dine out at Cracker Barrel, please leave your a server a decent tip.

 Cracker Barrel has great prices on their food and even allow adults to eat off of the kids menu, which is an awesome bargain. But just because the food prices are low, you do not have to make the tip low.Take good care of your server when it comes time to leave a tip. For a great article on tipping check out About Tipping on Associated Content.

 If you are not familiar with the concept of tipping, take time to educate yourself, or better yet sign up for a few shifts as a server at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. After a few shifts of serving you will gain a whole new appreciation of the importance of leaving a good tip.

One way some use to calculate how much to leave is a certain percent of the bill, such as 20% for excellent service. That is a good percentage to leave but if you eat a real cheap meal you may want to take into consideration that 20% may not be a lot, so you may want to tip above 20%. The server who serves you a cheap meal may work just as hard as one who serves you an expensive meal.

Great Cooks

I work with some awesome folks at Cracker Barrel Store 425. Today's featured employee is Aaron Putnam, the grillmiester. Here is a little poem about my fellow employee and friend Aaron.

When Aaron is on the grill
Work is such a thrill
The way flips the steaks and drops the fries
 Shows his cooking skill

But the thing I like the most
As Aaron mans his cooking post
Is his attitude and smile
That butters up my toast.

Kudos to Aaron Putnam, my pick for employee of the day on Monday, May 30.

He Just Don't Get It

It seems that Obama just don't get it, we need to delve into the oil here in America and off our shores. Why can't he understand that if we would use the oil here in USA, we would not be held hostage to OPEC nations. Maybe, he dosen't care, maybe not allowing us to tap into our own resources is a way to push the green agenda.

Why Don't We Drill for Our Own Oil

Maybe I am a little ignorant and unlearned, but I have a hard time understanding why we do not drill for own oil in Alaska and offshore as well. Why does some of those in power insist on keeping the United States dependent on foriegn oil? There is a mystery here and I am afraid of what the answer may be.
