Cash For Gold

So Nicole might better be able to elucidate the details of a woman who I simply refer to as Cash For Gold. As I understand it, sometime ago she started a business which is pretty much the same as the real Cash For Gold scam. It must be doing well though, because she's part-time now and wears gaudy clothing.

From our desk there are two visible entrances to the studios and offices. Both require keycards. However one working the front desk can press a button which automatically buzzes and unlocks either door.

Once upon a time Cash For Gold used to be like everyone else. CFG would carry a keycard for entry but would offer a kindly word of appreciation if buzzed without request. Since the business-on-the-side took off though, no keycards have been carried by CFG and she will wait with her hand on the door until you buzz her through. Sometimes not even having the decency to look at you. And also without regard for what you may already be busy with.

Today I was roaming one of the office areas, running an errand of some kind, when I passed Cash For Gold. She was clearly on her way from one side of the offices to the other which would require the use of a keycard. Upon seeing me she slowed her walk to a snail's pace, waited for me to finish my errand, re-enter the reception area, and get to the buzzer buttons, all the while her hand at handle of the opposite door.

Not always saying thank you is really no biggie. Forgetting your keycard is understandable. It's pretty shitty to silently demand you are buzzed through. But it takes real gall to wait until the receptionist returns, so you can be buzzed through and then not even have the decency to show any kind of appreciation whatsoever.


At the moment, I'm trying to learn the timing of the buzzer, so I can unlock the door only to have it re-lock as she reaches for the handle.

Victory will be mine, Cash For Gold. Victory. Will. Be. Mine.
