Hello all,

I worked for Candor as a Sales Assistant for a few months a few years ago. Around 4pm on a pretty much bog standard weekday, I staggered back from a liquid lunch - which had spiralled massively out of control even by my standards - and I decided to set off round the shop I had come to loathe to have a sort of sarcastic look around.

After having a wander, breathing heavily and laughing bitterly at some of the bike parts on display, I asked the owner of Candor (Randy Teen) if I could have a sweet (there was a basket of hard candies - or "boiled sweets" as we call them in the UK - next to the till). I hope I'm not losing too many of you if I say that, for effect, I asked this in a "Kevin the Teenager" kind of voice.

Mr Teen said 'Are you drunk?' as the ferocity of my breath hit him. I replied that I was and that there was nothing he could do about it. He said "Right, that's it, I don't need this - you're shit anyway, you're still on your probationary period, I'm giving you a week's paid notice as agreed and you can leave now". And - as I left - said 'Don't let the door hit you on the way out, you drunken bell-end.' It did.

I remind you, this was shouted at a grown man of no more than than 27 years of age.

I offer this for your consciences. You decide. Do you want to (do) business with these cyclists anymore?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
