RE: It's That Good
It's almost over, which is good. And I managed to do three of the places I'm slated to go to tomorrow today, so I'll only have five to do tomorrow. Probably start around 8:30-ish and hope to be done by 2:30-ish, if not sooner. Four of the places I was just at on Monday, so I'm not expected a whole lot to do since most of the work comes after a weekend, but I won't be there again until the following Friday so I need to make sure things are filled and working when I leave.
That sounds great to be able to get off early sir Glen! And if you don't have to do anything on Saturday it will be a nice weekend to rest up and catch up on steemit. Sounds like the first part of the week is the toughest.
Well, Monday and Tuesday of every week are usually the longest days. Every other Wednesday is also included. Thursday just depends on how many ATMs there are to fill and where as to how that day goes, but Friday I try to minimize because it seems to make sense, as you said, to have the long weekend.
When my wife is off, like tomorrow, there's always something she wants to do. :)
Well at least life is not boring sir Glen! How many ATM's do you service and how much money do you have to carry that goes into those? That sounds like a job for Brinks or someone.
I think in a lot of cases, it is a job for Brinks. I know one major restaurant at least has ATMs that got their money through Brinks or the other guys. I was kind of surprised when I found out we actually do that, but they are a vending machine in a sense—more like dispensary—and it makes the company money.
I'm not sure if I should get too specific here about how many ATMs and how much I usually carry. Regardless, anyway, it varies from day to day, and some spots will go through more money than others. I might have zero to fill one day, three the next, it all depends. I think the most I've been assigned in one day is five or six, and they tend to be in places where we have other machines, so I'm also potentially collecting those and filling some of them, too. Except the cannabis shops, where it's always only ATMs.
The amounts make my wife nervous, but if someone were to rob a bank and only get what I carry, it would be pretty pitiful compared to the time, effort, and probable jail time. :) In general, one could potentially have a pretty good time for a couple of weeks to a month or so, depending on how big of a spender one was. :)
Howdy tonight sir Glen! Did you have today totally off work I hope? No vending machines in the cannabis shops. Just because they are not that type of businesses?
Well, we don't have vending machines, per se. Ours are basically for amusement. I'm not entirely sure why we don't have them there, other than space in some cases, and that the clientele is basically in and out.
Since cannabis is not federally legal, cash needs to be used to purchase product, thus the ATMs.
I actually had to go check out a jukebox. Fortunately, it wasn't too far to go and it ended up being a relatively easy fix.
They still have jukeboxes? That's interesting about the reason for cash at the cannabis stores!
Well, yes. The jukeboxes aren't like they used to be, with 45s and then CDs. Just like everything else, it's all digital, and so there's a hard drive where the music is stored, and it's constantly updated over the Internet.
