Scouter Released, Re-signed

-Marina del Rey, Ca.
-Head Scouter Jim Dall said very late Tuesday that a member of the Scouting Department chose to resign, was released from his contract, and then re-signed a different contract ten minutes later.

Pete Chilphingham was "upset with the medical benefits" of his scouting job, and chose to resign Tuesday. He requested his employment with Feast Fest be terminated, gathered his things, exited the door, and drove off at approximately 5 p.m. Tuesday.

At 5:10, the car was back in the driveway. "I thought he had simply left something here by accident," says Melanie Pierce, the contract worker who terminated Chilphingham's employment.

Pierce claims Chilphingham re-entered the offices and asked for his job back, saying that panic had hit him in the car when he realized he didn't know where he would find reemployment.

Chilphingham was not overly lenient, though. He refused to accept his old contract, demanding one that had "better medical benefits."

Chilphingham had trouble negotiating and nearly left the building again, but he was finally given a contract he agreed to at 9 p.m. Tuesday.
