Eagle Scout Who Became a Corporate Puke

Back in 1980's when Mall's where all the cool thing I was called as President of a local mineral collectors  The Pittsburgh Mineral and Lapidary society group  a now defunct group and asked if we could put on a display at the mall while a large vendor who put on mineral shows was  there. Sure no problem I arranged to get stuff there and told them I would be there after I finished my work shift as a guard that morning as I had a pick up truck and could bring all the cases over. So members could fill them. I needed to be there set up and out by 9:00 am when mall opened which should have been no problem but guard who was suppose to relive me never showed up.
So I had to wait for replacement to show up and I was late getting there ad at 9:00 am I am on the top floor
of Century III Mall  no ones around and finishing things up. At 9:00 am the malls 3rd level is empty at the time many of the spaces where empty as well. But no matter one of the guards comes up and asks how long I will be I said about 20 more minutes, OK he says since there was no public on floor . but this was not good enough for a corporate puke for the mall  Dave who was a manager of the mall and fellow Eagle Scout he starts his horse shit I need off the floor period never mind I spent my time my gas to come put this display on and I had been delayed setting up being loyal to my job theirs no one on floor and I would be done in 20 minutes.
So I packed up and left and told big Man Dave to F-off  I don't Bowell down to corporate pukes .

So as I am on my way out the door on my last trip some bigger bosses come on floor and want to know whats going on I said ask your boy Dave and left. I get a call about 2 hours later asking me to come back the higher ups said Dave exceeded his authority.  So I did go back and they even had a mall janitor who helped me bring things in  and it was a good show for Mr. Freeland and all vendors he invited to show their gems and minerals.
for sale. the mall has been thru several owners and management company's and Dave is long gone .
 to e an Eagle Scout and act in such a manner you get disciplined by higher ups in unconscionable he is one of many eagles I have run across who need to turn their badges back in.
