That whole place seemed a little shady every time i went in there.What are your Ames employer horror stories?
When Campus Book Store was open I was training to be a cashier and they didn't have a POS system so every price had to be manually entered.
I sold a textbook and accidentally typed in $89.99 instead of the price of $99.99. at the time I didn't notice it but later that afternoon the buyer's parent comes in and hands the owner $10 and said he noticed his daughter was undercharged.
The owner screamed at me in front of the entire store about what kind of cheating scam I'm running. It was packed full of students buying books and I was really embarrassed. I walked out right then and there and only went back to pick up my last paycheck, which they refused to handover until my roommate's father (attorney) called and threatened a lawsuit. I think the check was $200 lol.
Anyway, I never went back in there after that. I forget her name, but the owner was not a pleasant woman.
Go on...Do Ev Cochran and Ev Jr count? If so, end of thread.

Ev Jr was in a wheel chair right?Do Ev Cochran and Ev Jr count? If so, end of thread.
I worked at an auto repair shop in the old grain elevator out on Ontario. The owner was making dynamite and growing dope. He paid us in cash.
Wait. That place rocked.
Grew up a few blocks away and never had any idea if that place was actually still in business? Or open? That little area was so strange, like the closest thing Ames had to a ‘rough part of town’
I think former Hickory Park employees could probably fill this thread up. I never worked there but the stories my friends who did work there told me we’re some crazy ****.

I had a couple friends that worked there. Sketchy as hell from what I was told. What was the deal with why they shut down?What are your Ames employer horror stories?
