JeepcoMJ Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 ha, so I work at menards, and it's black friday. work actually wasn't that bad. it was made all the better when I found out we are selling these http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Remote-Control ... dZViewItem just a little different graphics. $9.95 minus my 10% menards team member discount later, and I have a mini RC helicopter that fits in my hand. it's reheally sweet I already flew it into things like; my face my cat my dog's face a tree (inside tree) a few walls a doorknob ...and finally, my saltwater fish tank . :D just barely touched down and I powered her back up enough to take off so I could catch her. no damage whatsoever. but, money well spent for a cheap thrill...I will enjoy it for awhle :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Are they incredibly hard to control like I've heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Helicopters are inherently unstable. They don't acually fly, they just vibrate until the earth rejects them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Are they incredibly hard to control like I've heard? extremely. once you learn to fly them though, you can do anything you want with them.. just need a BIG space to fly them in.

whowey Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 When did Menard's stop calling you 'associates'?? Which store you stuck at???? I worked for them 15 years ago, first as a yard 'associate', then as store set-up. Lots of fun, but never home...... I met John, one time while I was yelling at my boss for not having all the pieces we needed to complete some shelving at Indy North... I was in there yesterday, did some returns out of my project leftovers, and bought a bunch of stuff for my 3 year long bathroom remodel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at the burlington store, it's kinda crappy how I'm always at work or school, but the pay is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at the burlington store, it's kinda crappy how I'm always at work or school, but the pay is OK. For a college kid, it was a GREAT job. Worked around my schedule, and pay was pretty good for being retail. During the summer being allowed to work as much as I wanted, and the instant profit sharing was definately a HUGE positive...... Extra buck an hour on Sundays, and 10% off on everything.(My dad actually yelled at me when I quit because of this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't make instant profit sharing this year because I fractured my ankle in march and was out of work for 2 months...I'll be 82 hours short of the 1000 hour minimum :mad: but oh well.
