  • First Day Back at the DT

    First day back at the Dollar Tree went pretty fast.

    I saw some of my former customers and talked to them a bit.

    Saw a little girl (around 8 years old, I'd say) wearing a t-shirt stating "Looking For Mr. Right Now!"

    HUGE Order came through and I was lucky enough to get it (I love huge orders). Nice couple, not a suck among them. Wanted to pay with a check. Okay, no problem. Guy fills it out and messes up the signature (Perfectionist to a degree, I've run into the Check Perfectionist before) so he writes a new one. Scan it in, terminal refuses it. Try again. Another refusal. TRY AGAIN. The terminal hates my guts (it's my original terminal, after all ). Couple more times and I'm about to become the definition of Insanity. Finally I give up and type in the numbers manually. Doesn't like it. Try again. Nope, not doing it. Figure out I'm missing a digit ( ) and it finally asks for a cheque number and authorizes. I celebrate with shouts of "HA! BOO-YEAH! I BEAT THE SYSTEM! SUCKER!" Nice couple and SM Cathy laughs their heads off and a pleasant evening is had by all.

    So glad I'm back.

      Yes. Yes, I did. And I didn't have any help from my meds, either!

          VERY MUCH SO. I had doubled up on my meds while at the Chinese Goods Store. That made me act wonky (just like you can't just STOP, you can't just double up on them all of a sudden) but at least I could act happy while I wasn't.


          You just wait, the first SC I get I'm gonna go Sociopath on their fannies. It was made into an artform right before I left, might as well make use of it while I'm here (IF I get sucky customers).

                You have selected the correct option to activate Señor Feesh's INSTA-RAGE MODE.

                God I hate parents who dress their children like that.

                Also the reason I loathe anything to do with the Bratz brand. "Hey, let's all dress like hookers before our age even hits double figures!"



                Oh, congrats on getting your...old...job?

                    Everyone at my store knew exactly what I thought about those little slut dolls.

                    Best ever: My coworker and her daughter:
                    CW: *mentions Slutz dolls while standing in doll aisle*
                    CW's D: But Mom, they're a bunch of hoochies!

                    Classic. I was so proud that her daughter wasn't going to grow up stupid and slutty.
                    Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

                      Thank you. I'll let you know Wednesday Night what my next shift is like. Might get some scrappy ones that don't know I'm back yet.

                          That's sick.

                          And so very, very wrong.
