Jon Smith

MOOD: Confused

When people think of characters they think of Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny. Visually interesting "people" with distinct voices that do or say things that no one else could get away with. I would add Jon Smith to that list. Jon was an acquired taste. He drove customers nuts and at times drove his fellow employees nuts, but he was always someone you wanted around. He made your day much more interesting. First of every month was entertaining. Jon would get upset over the amount of welfare customers in the store. Usually because he had to pick up after them. He would come up to you and say, "You know why the store is so trashed tonight? Because of all of those (looks around as if he cares, gets real quiet), all of those niggers in here." He would always get caught saying this too. Usually by Ky. JON! You cant say that! "I'm sorry Miss Vollmer, but its true, there have been so many niggers in the store today....." And then he would follow her around the store making her wish she never opened her mouth. Jon was always looking out for us boys at the store too. (Me, Kurt, Matt, etc) why dont you go out with (insert name of any girl at TJ Maxx) Hey, if Jon wasnt going to be messing with them, he wanted one of us to be. He liked to share too. I remember sitting in the back talking to Kelly about STD's for some reason and Jon leaned back and said, "I had gonnorhea once." Theres really no follow up to hearing that comment. He always had words of wisdom for Lisa Harveys children, usually involving heavily sedating them. He always told us how hard he would fuck, well whoever you named. Granted, I thought it, but dammit he said it. The Original Shady Old Guy. Jon, thanks for sharing.
