So the area is supposed to get just over a foot of snow in the next few days, and the store was packed all day. I got cursed out with some regularity later in my shift when informing SCs that they had to lift the case of water/soda/dog food/cat litter from the cart for me to scan, I can't reach that far and even if I could my back was hurting from standing behind a register and I didn't want to do anything to piss it off. While I don't have any back problems per se (yet), I do have some posture issues and am too tall to use the keypad comfortably.
We have chicken legs on sale for $1/pound. The DC only sent my store 2 boxes. ASM was letting people substitute anything and everything for sale items that in most cases we were not actually out of, the SCs didn't bother to read or look. We don't do substitutions.
In an 8 hour shift, I only got a 15-minute break (it was crazy busy so the shift lead wanted me to split my break, since we were so busy I wasn't able to take my remaining 15) and wasn't able to punch out for the 30 minutes I was supposed to. If I had punched out, there was no guarantee I'd be able to punch back in. Hopefully I won't get in trouble for that. 15 minutes in 8 hours...yeah (and one of the shift leads told ASM I got my full break). I was not a happy puppy come about 7PM. Somehow I managed not to bite someone's hand off or make any mistakes.
Shift lead wanted to lock the door at 8:55 (we closed at 9 tonight). Usual procedure is to lock the In doors at five of close. ASM flips out, yelling that "we have a snow scare, people need to feed their children and babies!". He also flips out when, due to not locking the doors at the regular time, nobody punches out until 9:15...gee, I wonder why?
I'm not that worried about the snow, after the Uberblizzard nothing under two feet really fazes me.
