Carrots

We offer a lot of varieties of everything, particularly vegetables,

and i realized that I can Forrest Gump carrots in their varieties at the store.

(i.e.-Greenwise carrots, mini carrots, canned carrots, salted canned carrots, steamed canned carrots, and so on.)

Then it occured to me that I have not had a single customer request that I have not known where it was in months.

Go ahead blog buddies, ask away.

Hair color-Aisle 7, 1/3rd of the way down on the left

Bisquick, Aisle 6, 7/8ths of the way down on the right

Frozen organic apple pie, Aisle 13, seventh case door on the left (in frozen food)

I think I now know where everything is.

I am freak

My managers dont know as much.

That reminds me, Jive Manager is going to ask about the new store

super excited.

I owe you an explanation

The managers all have nicknames,

Jive Manager is Shelinda Knowles

Health nut is Sarah Feld

Fearless leader is Ray Gritweld

The Assistant is Jim Swords

Hitman is Mr. Priest (don't know his first name)

The Surfer is Clark Kent


Don't worry, these are not their actual names.

and I will never tell their real names.

Otherwise I might have to fear for my job.

(my name is real)

No work on Wednesday

I never work on Wednesday I have availability for it, but I never seem to be in the schedule.

weird.

I have a friend who applied at my store, and I wanted to help him get hired, so I told Shelinda, (one of the cooler managers) about him, and she said "Our store is losing money, and we ain't got hours as is, so Ray (the store manager's first name) don't wanna do any hiring."

So I guess I'll have to pray for a quitter.

They aren't all that uncommon,

people quit because they feel demeaned or like the work is below them, which, it is I guess.
It is one of the most necessary things on earth, and one of the most stressful, but people crack, because customers complain.

I was walking to aisle 5 yesterday, and one of the other cashiers asks me to check a price for them, and as I am doing so the customer comes up and starts on it was in the wrong place, and i get the other price, or get it free... blah blah blah... ( do people honestly think that because they didn't read the goddamned sign it is free) and she gets to the register all mad and demands reimbursement.

We cant do that.

Its the same as being on an airplane, and because you didnt get the seat you wanted you get a comp seat.

it doesn't happen, and if it did our store would hemorrhage even more money.

And besides I control little more than a scale and a conveyor belt.

Sorry this one is a little angry
