Have I got a mega thread for you all tonight! Phew, no wonder why I am drained!

"Excuse me, do you sell cereal?"
"*notice she's carrying a gallon of milk, blink blink blink* What sort of cereal?"
"Um, you know...breakfast cereal?"
"*wonders how she could have missed the display of cereal we display at the front, as well as the 12 feet of cereal in the food aisle that is RIGHT IN FREAKING FRONT of the milk* Um, if you go back into the aisle with the milk and turn around you'll see it."

So I'm cleaning the bathrooms tonight and New Pharmacy Girl comes in and is a bit upset that I was cleaning the women's room. I tell her to go to the men's room, it's clean, but tell her that Former Manager Turned Technician (FMTT) just used it.
*pause*
"Oh! Wait! Crap! I didn't mean that FMTT was dirty! I meant that someone used it before you! Damnit!"
Potential Hazardous Waste
So I'm just about to clean the bathrooms when I hear "tink crash shatter". I go out and look and see that somehow, one of the replacement fluorescent bulbs that was leaning against the wall somehow fell down and shattered.
Me:
"Mercury! Crap!"
So I ran and got manager A who was...blase about it. "Oh, I didn't know there was mercury in those things! Just sweep it up."
Which is what I did, except I stuck it into its own bag, doubled it and then put it separate from the other trash.

Taking DOWN The Line Cutter!
Haha, a customer actually interrupted a rude line cutter today. Line cutter had the gall to ask, "So what do you want me to do about it?"
"Well moving yourself aside so I can go first would be nice!"
Line cutter glares and then moves for guy to come into line.

"You're So Slow!"
Well, EXCUSE ME for trying to provide good customer service!
Manager A snapped this at me in front of a customer because it was taking me too long!" to put away the books. Sorry, busy night, and there's 15 kakrillion customers in the store. I'm trying to help this woman in photo with a photo and Manager A wants me to DO. THE. BOOKS. NAO. And the same with the jewelery. MUST. BE. DONE. NAO.
Me:

Oh, R...
R, it is YOUR job to do the bathrooms. YOURS. Why am I doing YOUR job? Oh, that's right, because YOU BLOODY DON'T DO IT.
When you clean the bathrooms, you need to follow this checklist!
1. Sweep the floors.
2. Take out the trash.
3. Clean the mirror with "Findex".
4. Clean and wipe the sink with "Findex".
5. Scrub the toilet/urinal with the brush and bowl cleaning fluid as supplied.
6. "Findex" down the handles of the toilets and the seats of said toilets.
7. Mop the floors using soap and water.
Yes. 7 points on that list. You DO NOT simply do only #2 and then tell me, when I come in and tell you I did the bathroom, that you don't do anything else in there except the trash. No cleaning anything, just the trash. :facepalm:.
