In my business we prefer to be paid by cash. However, some clubowners prefer to pay by check. So many times I have heard them say, “I’ll cut a check for you.“ I don’t need a check cut in half. Even if I tape it together it’s still gonna look suspicious. I don’t need that in my life.
I wonder when that phrase was first uttered. Maybe at a place where they actually make and cut checks. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me. Imagine if your employer cut your check in 1 million Little pieces. How would you react? I know I would be pretty ticked off.
Years ago I worked at circuit city. On a Sunday I got a call at home from an employee telling me they had a guy who is really getting out of control because the salesman cut his credit card in half. It was a 45 minute drive so I decided to deal with the problem on Monday.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the knucklehead salesman didn’t understand the difference between “repossess“ and “re-process“. I swear it’s true he swiped the guys credit card in the machine and it said re-process so he took the guys credit card and cut it in half. I know! That customer was really mad, so to make up for it I cut him a check for $50 for his trouble.

I’ve not heard that one before.
Did that salesman make it through alive to the end of the year? Or was he ‘let go’ (and why does the image of ‘from the top of a building spring’ to mind?)

Ah, the notion of self-preservation kicked in…. For those of us willing to listen it is a powerful motivator.
