| Are You Looking For a Family | Started by: maxwell on Nov 29, '07 00:34 |

Maxwell sits out on the steps in front of his family HQ in Philly. It's been a slow day for business, so he thought he would watch the action on the streets. He sees a man approaching from down the street. The guy is wearing tattered clothing and looks like he is in need of some food and a job. "Heh, not my problem" The approaching man reaches Maxwell and stops to speak "Can I join your crew?" Maxwell looks to the right and the left Are you talking to me? Look, man. I don't know what kind of business you think I'm involved with, but I don't have a "crew". Even if I did, I wouldn't tell the whole world about it. Let's say I had some shady dealings that you wanted to be a part of. What do you think would be the best way for me to trust you? Surely not walking up out of nowhere like you just did. Tell me what your plans are with my family. Tell me what qualities you possess that would make you a great family member. Tell me your definition of loyalty. IMPRESS ME, DAMMIT! If you think walking up out of nowhere and asking to join me, without telling me anything else, is going to get you a job, you are sadly mistaken. You won't get a job with any factory that way, and you sure as hell aren't going to find a job with the Java Cartel that way. The effort you put forward to get your foot in the door gives me an idea of the effort you will put forward after you are let all the way into the family. Make that first step, your best step. |

Of course, that was all hypothetical. What I meant to say was "IF there was such a crime family fronted by a coffee importer". And IF there was such a family, how in the hell did Submerged get past the front door of the alleged HQ? |

Yes Slevin..yes we do....what? You think those tax returns are just created on a whim, that is fraud sir! A very serious crime. Presently our acclaimed ground roast levels out at... takes out small black book and flicks through a few pages before returning it to the inside pocket of her jacket ...ah, the Windy City..a little over seven grand a pound for our best beans,. Tell you what, I'll knock a bit off the top and bring it down to six five, will even deliver it straight to your door. Whatta you say? |

She watches as maxwell explains things to the new kids on the block and smiles. Please, if you wish to be hired to "sort beans" in our warehouse use some creativity when it comes to listing off your plans for the future, what you can bring our "company", and who you are. I'm growing old of the same old "HIRE ME!", "Can I join your crew?", "hi can i plz join ur crew"... I don't even have a crew. I run a legitimate coffee importing company... She looks around her smiling and nodding at a few police men. All in all... If this is the first I am going to have of you make it worth my while. Make me WANT to get to know you better... If you can't put the effort into asking to be a part of The Java Cartel then I can't be arsed to put the effort into replying to your request or giving you a job. |
