I booked a week holidays....went to work to get my groceries and double checked the rota while I was there....guess what...scheduled to work saturday. Ummm? why? cause although our working week starts on a saturday our holiday weeks start on a sunday. I'd love to know the logic behind that one. Ok it's an 8 til 2 so I can live with that, still not a cheerful person in a tent but I'll do it.
Get to work, fill the tills, fill the scratch card dispensers, put out chocolate (trying not to eat any) fill out the drinks coolers and generally tidy up. So far so good.
Customer one: This newspaper has no magazine with it (some of our papers come with free tv guides) Yeah, sorry the depot didn't send any today....customer has bitch fit.
Customer two: 10 pack of mayfair menthol (brand of cigs for all you guys across the pond) Yeah, sorry we don't actually stock 10 packs of those can I offer you....Interupted by customer having bitch fit.
Ok, it's only 8.30am and already out of maybe 10 customers we have two bitch fits..the day ain't looking good people!
For the rest of the day I was yelled at by a little old lady because she picked up the wrong perfume and because my psychic skills weren't working I didn't know and sold it to her....(I have to admit I was rude to her but she was yelling at me for no reason so when she paused I said "Are you done? You're yelling at me because you purchased the wrong brand of perfume? How the hell did I know what you wanted to buy, who do I look like bloody Mystic Meg?"
Guy brought back a tv said it went on fire....maybe had something to do with the candle wax spilled all over it..
Smelly man walks in smoking....pounced on him and informed him no smoking....for god's sake where can you smoke indoors these days...not a damn place....he thought he was funny...you sell cigarettes (I have read the next line somewhere and have been dying to use it for ever) "Yes Sir we do....we also sell condoms but we don't let you have sex on the floor"
In all honesty I have to say that it was one of the most suckiest (and I know that this is awful grammar) days I have ever had to endure....Oh and as a last little tidbit
Today is 11th November and in the UK it's armistice day...the country stops at 11am to remember the dead and wounded of two world wars (my mother's uncle was killed in world war two and I always get tearful because his bravery was always talked about in my family. When his body was recovered he had a photo of my mother in his wallet. We still have that photo today) So half way through a two minute silence Miss I don't have to wait for anything comes in...the entire store is silent, customers, staff even little kids (for a change) she barges up to the desk, stares for a few seconds and shouts (yes shouts) 'Why is no one serving here, what the f**k is going on?' Every person in the store just turns and stares, I think it was then she heard the last post being played over the store tannoy......and yes, we made her go to the back of the line.
Sweet heaven....one whole week, no sucky customers!
