people would rather describe, in detail, a cookie instead of read the sign with the name of it
so many people say "i want that one right there. the ones that's brown with the 3 different chocolate chips in it" (sign reads "chocolate lovers') or "that yellow one there with the colorful candies on it" (sign reads sugarbutter w/ m&m). i didn't know it was so difficult to read
when working for 5 hours alone with no chance of a bathroom break, drinking water isn't a good idea.

yeeeeeah...i tend to drink water when bored. and work is usually very slow. so...i stand around and drink water. and today, i was there for 5 hours. by my self. with no bathroom. it sucked
my boss...is a doodoo head
he's a cheepskate. and i think a bit lazy. we have a soda machine out front and an ice trough in front of it. there's a drain for water when the ice melts. and it's been clogged for a week or so. there's around 6 inches or so of water in the bottom of the thing. his solution? just keep it full of ice and no one'll see the water. awesome. don't know why he can't get a pipesnake. not like they're expensive.
in the back, we have sinks for washing dishes in. we also have a sprayer head. small problem with this sprayer. when turned on, it sprays water all over the place. there are no screwdrivers at work. i've mentioned that i'm going to bring in a set and some other random plumbers things and fix the damned thing and his response? "no, i'll get to it eventually." ...suuuure ya will.
we bake cookies. we have ovens. it gets hot. it's also july and was almost 100 degrees outside today. tad warm. our thermostat is busted. there's a note on it that says "do not set thermostat to below 79 degrees. it will freeze up!" that's...pretty warm. warm enough to make a gal thirsty, but that's besides the point. apparently it's been like this for months. the thermostat itself is 5+ years old. so...why hasn't he had it fixed/replaced? to expensive.
i worked for the store for 3 years before i moved to virginia. i had a set of keys and a code to the safe. now...i don't. and as i previously mentioned, i was alone for 5 hours. at one point, i had no $5 bills, no quarters, and close to $75 in ones in one of the tills. and i couldn't do jack diddly about it because hey! i don't have a code to the safe. i called up my boss and mentioned it. his answer? "uh...yeah. i'll see what i can do." i know it's not difficult to set a new code for the thing. but i have a feeling it'll be about a month before i get one.
bonus!
playlists
so this has nothing to do with work. but i found it funny.
i was taking my dog for a walk this morning, like i do...and i overheard a conversation between a husband and wife that went something like this:
h: husband
w: wife (listening to mp3 player)
w: did you put a playlist on here called "now playing"?
h: uh...no, why?
w: cuz when i go to look at the playlists, it's at the top. and whenever i select it, it just goes back to what i was listening before. i think it's fault or something.
at this point i was out of hearing range.
...i have a feeling she was one of those people that had "12:00" blinking on her vcr for years.
