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

    SC

    Blindness

    "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."

    Brain Burp

    Nasty Girl

    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.

    Sightings

    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.

    Morons in Management

    "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: *pulling on ignore hat and going back to the register*

    Cursing Out Coworkers

    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:.

            Maybe hang one of those sign off sheets in the BR, so the person doing the bathroom has to initial that they did it. When obviously they dont, and the sheet is signed, take it to management.

                You are much, much better off and safer using the same cleaner on everything in the bathroom. Mixing chemicals is dangerous.

                As for Mercury, I don't know the guidelines for cleaning it up. The other janitors have dealt with it, but I have not.

                    Eh while its recommended to not mix different cleaners (as you don't know which ones might react) some places do have slightly different cleaners for different things that are chosen specifically because they do work together safely.

                    Woithe the mercury, as long as you don't let the mecury touch your bare flesh you should be ok, I'm sure there are a million and one precautions H & S say you should take, but don't let it touch you, clean it all up, double bagging it should be reasonable, just be careful.

                    I hope you next shift goes better Ralerin

                        WHY did I get the feeling Sheldon would pick up on that?

                        And to whoever asked: I don't mix the chemicals. I make sure that "Findex" is kept far away from the toilet bowl cleaner. I always scrub the toilet and flush it before the "Findex" even thinks about touching the toilet. So, the chances of me killing myself in there due to chemical reactions are really low.

                        Maybe not so for my coworkers....

                            Mercury is hazardous waste and needs to be treated as such.

                            You should wear gloves when cleaning up mercury to keep it from coming into contact with your skin.

                            Air out the room before cleaning so people don't breathe it in, for at least 15 minutes (yes, it is that dangerous)

                            Use a stiff piece of cardboard to scoop up any mercury from a hard surface like your bathroom, and place it in a glass container with a metal lid (mercury is liquid at room temperature and can run out of a plastic bag). Use duct tape to pick up glass powder or fragments. Place in the glass jar. Use a wet towel or disposable wipes to clean the area and place in your glass container. Do not vacuum. Wash your hands when you are done.

                            The glass container should go to a recycling center, not in the regular trash.
                            They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

                              Oooh, oooh, I know which movies the sharks with laser beams are in!

                              The first one has them mentioned and the third film actually has the sharks with laser beams on their heads!
