UN-LUCKY STORES 

Some material on this page may be offensive.  This page is recommended for adults only. 

I had a lot of unethical behavior directed towards me while working with this chain of stores because an atmosphere was created by upper-management that indicated it was OK to cheat Frank Nordby or treat him with disrespect and nobody had to answer to him. 

I caught a Gemco store manager Homer Herod cheating me on an annual employee evaluation.  When I brought his deceit and dishonesty to his attention he got upset that I would go into his mail-bag and review the (lowered) evaluation he was sending to the main office-a written evaluation that was not what he verbally told me.  A few days later he approached me while I was building a holiday display and told me he was going to get back that evaluation and make it right with me....he never did.  I remember building a massive Coca Cola display for Herod located on the side of the checkstands so that when you looked at the back of the display,  the word "Gemco"  could be seen using the different colors of the coke containers. I busted my ass for this guy and then he would cheat me in a personal evaluation.  

Dale Wolfe did a similar thing with me in an annual evaluation...These guys had no ethics at all. Well actually, they had ethics, but what they had was bad ethics. 

It was common for managers to slander me while working in their store.  Manager Tom Keorner would suggest to his buddies working in his store to slander me in front of the checkstand registers, with customers around, saying things like I was the uncaught free-way sniper shooting at cars in Roseville and laugh about it in front of customers.  And I would have no recourse because Keorner was doing it to appease his buddies in supervision, probably like Jim DeAngelis.  They were trying to get me to quit and used these kinds of demeaning slandering techniques to do it.  This is what I had to endure working for a company I busted my ass for almost 30 years. 

I had a young African American employee, who was also known to belong to a local gang, indicate to me while I was checking out customers at the front of the store "if you say another word I am going to knock off fucking head" (where other employees and customers heard him say this to me), and when I went to the assistant manager Shelton Campbell to complain, he turned a deaf to it.  Campbell came to me and told me that the young man said I called him a "homeboy"-I had never even heard that expression until Campbell brought it to my attention.  This young man was heard by other employees threatening me, should have been terminated and yet nothing was done to him.  Anybody could get away with doing anything to me and I had no recourse. 

I know what you see below might be too-much----but what is too-much in today's world?
I guess you can say this is 'Juggler on the roof' instead of 'Fiddler on the roof
The pay stub above is from 1980. Thanksgiving week.  A year and a half after Lucky was soo lucky to hire me.

How and the hell does a Lucky representative by the name of Rick Henshaw (who doesn't even know me) talk to me with such disrespect over the phone as you can hear him talk on this web-page?  I probably worked harder in one month at Lucky Stores than he did for his entire career at Lucky's. 

Lucky Stores payroll messed up my w-4/exemptions and with-holding on taxes three different times and this cost me substancially in IRS back taxes and penalties and nobody at Lucky stores payroll was held accountable to this costly error. 

Then Lucky Stores Loss & Prevention Manager Bob McConnel (the top security guy)  appeasing the dishonesty of a family of theives named the Pappadopoulos'....what was his payoff for that?  Lucky's wanted to cheat me any way that they could, an honest and hard-working employee and then cater to those who would cheat them.  And to think that shoplifting report would disappear from the Lucky Store after he and a private investigator hired by the Pappadopoulos family came to this Lucky Store.  A shoplifting report I made a copy of the day before. The only reason why they came to the store was to retrieve the store's copy of the police report. 

This Demetri Pappadopoulos (son of a prominent wealthy family) not only was caught trying to steal an expensive steak from Lucky's, but he also destroyed $80 in Lucky store merchandise while in the process of trying to run out of the store. The arresting police officer told me he didn't think anything would happen to this guy because the family had friends in the sheriff's department.  I had never even heard of the name Pappadopoulos until the police officer told me who this thief was.  And as time went on this asshole name McConnel would lie to me over the phone stating the DA dropped the charges because he didn't go past the checkstands----I knew that was total bull-shit when I heard it.

I caught this guy named Pappadopoulos stealing this steak while on my lunch break - and these assholes at Lucky's would cheat me in the many ways that they did. 

Only one manager working for Lucky Stores showed me any kind of respect and that manager was Matt Van Airsdale. And I thank Matt for being there for me when I worked in his store and he is the only Lucky manager that deserved me working in a Lucky store. 

There was once a Christmas candy display contest for all Lucky stores in Sacramento during the holiday season.  I built one for Van Airsdale and my display was one of a few that won.  Matt received a $50 award-I believe that was the dollar amount.  Matt had the decency to offer that money to me.  I don't believe any of the other store managers would have done that---they would have kept the money for themselves even though I built the display.....bunch of fucking assholes.

If anything below, such as animations or whatever offends you, sorry. 

Lucky Stores Inc. was involved in just about every unethical employment act possible in its pursuit to make sure I did not have the ability to redress my employments complaints.  Lucky Stores was guilty of violating the confidentiality of my medical records and top management freely revealed the contents of my medical records in an effort to belittle me, demean me and make sure I never had any credibility to what-ever I said. 

Lucky Stores was operated by just a bunch of immature and incompetent people who in most cases weren't qualified to get a job picking lettuce.  Lucky Stores made it easier for dishonest wealthy families to protecting their dishonest children who have been caught shoplifting at Lucky Stores than for honest employees who were trying to resolve  a number of unfortunate bad-faith employment acts. 

If it sounds like I am repeating myself then I guess I haven't gotten it out of my system...I might even repeat it further down a few more times.

In the audio you can hear when you enter this page, Lucky Stores representative Rick Henshaw can be heard telling me "I am not going to play your game." 

The mere fact you can hear his rude conversation with me surely indicates one thing:  Rick Henshaw played my game....

American Stores buying Lucky Stores 

Below is the original "radio writer" (which was technology similar I guess to a fax machine) announcing that Lucky Stores was purchased by American Stores out of Utah.  Dick Goodspeed was the top dog at Lucky and  was the guy who sent it.  In my opinion Goodspeed was also another unethical guy working for Lucky Stores.  I sent him a personal letter and later he sent a letter to all of Lucky employees that kind of reflected portions of my letter to him.   

This is probably the only record of his announcing the sale of Lucky Stores that is still around. I wonder if there are any laws on the books that prohibit the sale of a chain of assholes?
