Who is The Anonymous Janitor?

Greetings my fellow internet denizens! The Anonymous Janitor lives and works in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and provides maintenance support and, of course, janitorial services to a supermarket chain. Born and raised in beautiful Southern California, under the smoggy skies of Los Angeles, The Anonymous Janitor joined the U.S. Army after graduating early from High School and served for three years as a PATRIOT missile battery early warning and command and control operator. In the first few weeks of basic training, he suffered a fractured hip during a training exercise. Because drill sergeants are trained to anticipate trainees faking injuries to get out of performing duty, he went three weeks without before being diagnosed with a fractured hip that, by that point, had already begun healing on its own. During the time between initial injury and diagnosis, he participated in every ruck march, physical training test, shooting range, and room clearing drills all with a broken hip. After completing basic training and graduating as distinguished honor graduate from job training, He served until the U.S. Army determined it was time to set him free by giving him a medical discharge. Upon returning to his native California, he dealt with two years of uncompensated unemployment, not even getting an interview due to the sheer number of applicants for the few open positions in his area. In April 2012, he took a leap of faith and moved 2,490 miles to Pennsylvania where he landed a job working as a telecommunications liaison between the Commonwealth employees and agencies and the telephone and data service carriers and as the janitor of a chain supermarket. This blog was created as a way to share my encounters with the eccentric and less-than-intelligent customers who come to shop at our store.
