Does everyone have these Liberty Tax offices where they live?  If so, do the ones in your area employ wacko, drunk people to stand outside dressed up to wave to everyone during tax season?

I CANNOT stand these people and every time I see one, I get the sudden urge to sharply turn my steering wheel and take them out.  There are several of these around my office and on my route home.  One office near me has a guy that looks like he is homeless, and most definitely is drunk off his ass that goes onto the median in the middle of the road and tries to break dance and moonwalk while waving.  Twice I have seen this idiot fall into the road causing cars to slam on there breaks to avoid running him over.

The other location that is on the way home rented those Moon Bounce things and had about 20 grown adults in those Liberty costumes jumping in them – I am not exaggerating that number – 20!  That many adults in a Moon Bounce just is not right.

What the hell is wrong with this company that they would think that these people will actually bring in the business?  If anything, I would NOT go there, because of all the freaks they have out front.  I was wondering what these people actually get paid and what requirements they have to meet, so I did some digging and it appears that they get paid anywhere from $6 to $8 dollars.  One ad was requiring that the person be bilingual, although I am pretty sure that a hand wave is the same in all languages.  Here are some of the ads (in case anyone is looking for employment):

If you have not already noticed, I have a WONDERFUL new tenant over there in my sidebar.  Fickle Chick has been a blog buddy of mine for over a year now.  I am convinced that if we did not live on opposite coasts, that we could be great friends and could possibly rack up some arrests together to add to our criminal

record

portfolio.

Please take a second and go tell her hello.  Make sure to tell her that I sent you.
