I do not miss working 12 hour days trying to find something good to say about a Fisher stereo system over and over again.

I do not miss the picked over sandwiches management brought in so we did not need to take a lunch during our 12 hour day.

I do not miss hearing all the complaints from the customers about waiting on line at the cash register, then on line at the stock window, then on line at service

See, that's why I liked working in service, because we'd NEVER find ANYTHING good to say about a Fisher ANYTHING! Just make sure you sell them the SC!

The holiday special lunch a Hartsdale was from KFC, buckets of fried chicken, well done outside, raw on the inside. YUM.....NOT!!!!!

I have one fond memory of those Fisher Rack systems. In Hartsdale, they had some of them set up right outside the opening to the Car Stereo room, facing towards it. I used to take the remoter control from one of the systems and when some jedge (I think that's what we called dumb customers) would turn the system on, I would lean on the glass display case in Car Stereo (the one with the radar detectors....Bel 844, Whistler Spectrum 2, Uniden RD-9, etc) with the remote hidden by my arms and hit the volume button. The thing would start blasting out all distorted at full volume and the person would be freaking out trying to find the volume control. They'd finally hit the power button and walk away red faced. Now that was fun!

hey shoof...
i never worked at CE, but boy i remember that KFC that was on the other side of Central Ave. definitely some scary food.

For Christmas day, all non-Jewish employees were asked to work - most did not. However, on Jewish holidays it was considered appropriate for Jewish employees to take off. On Jewish holidays Non Jewish employees worked the store with light coverage. I remember that. Every year we were made to feel guilty for taking our Christmas holiday off. I worked many X-mas Eves until 8 or 9pm.
