Northland Prophet.
I didn't know what to write about so God is like just write about your Northland rapport which is a suburban area near the main airport that I ride the bus to the movies at my mostly not remodeled backup AMC (despite corporate being in Kansas City) and I cross a very heavy traffic intersection twice for my routine.
I kept the same routine from when I was working to where I just started going every Friday when possible even immediately after helping with dry truck on my day off (I had every Friday off before I got fired and a good portion of them I was manipulated into work which messed up my routine to where I had to go to my main AMC by default which is crazy because I did keep asking for weekends off for that exact reason but my du***ss Dollar General (DGX) managers used favoritism when I was there the longest and I was the most available) and knowing myself I wasn't really trying to "bond" with my backup rapport which includes some of the same places at my main rapport like AMC Theatres, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks as I think I was trying to be more of the "under radar hey it's my day off please don't bother me" type but God had other plans as they know to expect me as we now know each other whether by face, name, or both.
The locations on Barry Road are the main source for my God inspired Chick-fil-A video (9K FB Views |

As you can see I'm generally a happy person that nowadays I like to make people smile (even when it's above 10 degrees outside on a Friday morning but I still got a Frappuccino when I would usually get a hot latte when it's that cold but it would spill everywhere) and there is a reason the enemy likes to attack me a lot which despite my growth has caused me to act of character, not caring how I affected people, when I do care.

Starbucks Movie Prophet.
I'm known by most of my immediate rapport for going to Starbucks and AMC Theatres and some people that personally know me in real life if they still follow me on social media can see most of my posts.
One of my favorite transit drivers has known me probably since the KC Streetcar started but we have gotten more acquainted during nearly my entire 2 years when I was at Dollar General (DGX) on my coffee breaks.
She called me "(Mr or The) Starbucks Man" now she calls me "The Starbucks Movie King" or something like that and God has me reflecting on how He works in mysterious ways because I know I need my community even when I want to stay to myself.
I go to the movies using my AMC A-List at least twice a week on average between 2 locations and I believe God makes sure that I'm getting out into the trenches to face my community despite what's going with me that it helps me improve myself and not just hide at home.

God prompted me after this recent workplace violence.
Dollar General Express (DGX Kansas City).
I'm the main person on that block that's in danger the most not the women it's me.
I play their fu***ng security, manager without a register key, restroom keyholder, etc as a Sales Associate and I'm not there for that.
They endangered me, my coworkers, my customers, City Club Apartments, Crossroads Arts District, my church, my transit peeps, my inner circle, and rapport.
I still blame the City, Crossroads Community Association, and Downtown Kansas City for not providing CID Security in the KC Crossroads Arts District.
Come get these fu***ng bums and homeless people that mean us "harm and disrespect" out of my fu***ng neighborhood.
Dollar General Express (DGX Kansas City)
I'm a threat too especially when I'm a sales associate that plays security, manager, etc.
Every retail worker is a potential threat to their coworkers and customers and I'm the one who is more likely to try to play superhero like I do in real life willing to risk my own life for the sake of my coworkers and customers.
Corporate doesn't want to hire security that's fine but watch the lawsuits pile up when employees like me are harmed or killed.
As a prophet I have discerned different strategies on how to defend myself when the environment allows me to use whatever is around me.
I don't stay near the front of the store for safety reasons and I need a moment to breathe in between customers so if I miss a customer coming in and out nowadays unfortunately I don't give a f**k especially when I'm doing a task.
Corporate never made sure we had a loud bell or something to let us know 2 separate doors were being used at a certain time or a bell at the register for customer assistance.
I have always been the most endangered worker at the store and I don't have a key fob because I don't drive so if I had to escape through the apartment complex I would have to think fast and try to break the glass door or make my way to 2 other exits.
This new me doesn't mind sending a threat to the hospital or to the grave and I want to see you bleed.
I have been a voice for Kansas City since 2011-2012 and what you see me doing is my community advocate work making it known of our issues.
Mary started it and I'm helping finish it and I will drag corporate with me.

Dollar General needs their ass whooped too especially Connie when you visited Store 21919 because we are a Downtown Kansas City specialty DGX that deals with a huge homeless/bum/transient population and we have always needed security from Day 1.
