AAFES Always Available to Fuck Every Soldier

[JOLLYRANCHER31]

Let me start off by saying I am an active duty soldier. I spent seven years in Germany and one in Korea and let me just say I was happy to go out and pay foreign taxes instead of giving money to AAFES. I think AAFES should be eliminated as a DOD contract. They can give it to WALMART and give the military clothing and equipment issue back to unit supply and or Quartermaster units. AAFES does not care about the military at all in fact I maintain that their initials (AAFES) stand for Always Available to Fuck Every Soldier. All they care about is money. Look at they way they conduct themselves OCONUS.  For example in Germany, Go into any AAFES facility on any day and it is full of non-affiliated local nationals, third country nationals and non-affiliated Americans who have no privilege to shop. And whatever you do don’t get me started on their little black-market operation with fuel coupons. Yes they encourage that. No different in the states go to any training base on family day. This is bullshit AAFES, you hold yourselves up as being a part of our benefits when you would just as soon extend our alleged discount and tax free privileges to any piece of shit who would walk your floors. Now lets get on their employment practices (ESPECIALLY OVERSEAS) between AAFES and MWR that is merely a way for America’s undesirables to remain overseas and homestead be it they forgot how to speak English or they are wanted by the authorities in the states and can’t go back. AAFES will probably not last as the German government is on to them. When the US finally gets wise and leaves Europe they will probably go bankrupt paying fines.

Whoa .... Dude what is your deal? ..... The px is full of LNs , 3rd party nationals and "un affillated Americans" ?( what ever that means).... Look guy here in Europe you cant get on post without the proper I.D or someone with a proper ID to sign you in. OS everyone on this post has the right to be here for whatever reason.And you best belive that most of those LNs you se here are the inlaws of Americans.... I dont know if you have noticed or not but alot of Troops marry Germans......making them ID card holders and Privliged Shoppers as you would put it. unless you are in uniform it is policy to check ID before every purchase .. is it done EVERY TIME .. no .. do we try to make happen  YES.....  I am not sure what kind of black market I am operating by giving you gas cupons but hey could you let me know so I could start getting my cut.... Cause I aint seen Shit from it....   
Oh and as far as taking your ass of post  to shop ... well could you keep it up... I would be happy to never see  your type of attiude in my store..... and if your paying those taxes .. thats your own dumb fault ...

Oh and as far as taking your arse of post  to shop ... well could you keep it up... I would be happy to never see  your type of attiude in my store.....       

It would be hard for you to never see that kind of attitude in your store due to the fact that most of the people working there have attitudes much worse than this Gentleman, and what makes it worse it is directed toward the people they "love to serve"

[Quityerbitching]

Oh before I forget... What are the Germans on to us about?....I dont get it ... If you ETS and stay over here you a supossed to "European out " which is a process that takes about 3 months to complete.. background checks MP and local law enforcement approvals and a slew of other hurdels to jump through. Even if you somehow dodge that .. in order to come to work with us u have to pass another round of background checks and a sign off from the Provost Mashall and get a SOFA stamp on your Passport.....   either way I am thankful for the heads up about the polizei .. I will be sure to keep a look out...
 Quit yer bitching ..... STUPID

WOW, WHAT A 180 I must be in the wrong place. I hope this isn't a pro AAFES website. That is some realistic head bobbing action you are displaying. It is good to know that having your mouth full will not interfere with your typing. PLEASE DON'T CHOKE, I would feel so horrible if noone was there to pull that meat from your throat. My point is AAFES is slimy, They do not care one ounce for soldiers, family members or anyone else unless they are pouring money into them No really what are your plans when the US pulls out of Europe. I don't know if you can get the same deal the Turks get. You can grow a mullet and become a truck driver or you can go to work for B.I.G. at one of those not so reputable American owned and AAFES/MWR supported clubs that everyone knows about. Oh say hi to the ZOLL for me.

Good point Jolly,

The only place AAFES makes money is at their overseas locations, and down range where they are free from any kind of competition.  Without these stores I am sure it would not take long before they are devastated financially by the likes of walmart, target, hell even K-Mart, and in the end they will be asking MWR for some of their money back LOL.

This is certainly not the wrong place, and despite the freak who keeps posting Advertising on here- we are about getting the message TO AAFES that they need "a little work".
We all shop the BX- not by choice- mostly from lack of options- if it is something I need today, I get on my knees and pray to God that they actually have it, then grab my keys to go down there (and my ankles while I prepare to take it in the arse). Otherwise, it is eBay and Amazon for me.
Welcome Jolly.
I look forward to more of your... Incensed and heartfelt posts.

JUST AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE SUCK UP OUT OF HERE WE'LL BE FINE.

[TheFreud]

I have a theory... tellme what you guys think.

Bitching about your service at aafes is like bitching about your food at Denny's.
You aren't there by choice, you just kind of...ended up there- so (thinks the waitresses and managers) we should stfu and eat your crappy food.

Spread the word.
AAFESsucks... and everyone should know.

 Dude hate to call you out like this but that statement couldnt be further from the truth ..... The only place AAFES  LOSES money is overseas..... ALL of our big moneymakers are in the States .. ourlstores in the red ... well they are here ....land by the way we do not make our money downrange .... we lose it there also ...  it is not cheap to run a store in the middle of a war ... granted now that things are friming up a bit , Logistics wise that is , we might start to dig out of the hole down there ...

I have to agree here.  My good friend is a manager here where I live and our stores are all in the red.  I know that Wurzburg is very quickly going in the red.  Most of the smaller installations are way in the red...how anyone can suggest that AAFES makes loads of money overseas didnt take business 101.  The biggest reason is that AAFES in the states can sell merchandise to dollar stores (merch that was clearanced and never sold, ie GumBalls) here they cant do that. They have to pay to ship it all back to the states...money lost. Every discount given is money that they loose.  You cant even imagine how much goes to the Germans.

I am terribly curious about the comments you have made regarding the Money that goes to the Germans... both in the money lost thing, and in wages... Is it at all possible you can elaborate a bit on this?
