  • I will not accidentally electrocute the store owner. (the story behind this is nowhere near as interesting as that makes it sound, basically I had wet hands and turned a light off, some of the water leaked into the switch and when the store owner turned the light on he got a mild shock)

          • I am definitely not allowed to EVER flirt with the liquor boys so they'll give me a free drink later (and I am legal age thank you very much)
            I am also not allowed to flirt with the nightfillers.
            And finally, I am not allowed to make PA announcements about the plastic-bag-free checkouts being just that (plastic bag free...I got told to shut up after the 4th one, but the nightfill boss found it funny)

            • I'm not allowed to hide Whiney Brat's chair or Ann's chair so that they actually have to get up and do something. I'm not allowed to find a techie type of friend to mess up Ann's computer so she actually has to work, instead of surfing the web all night.

              I'm also not allowed to come up behind Whiney Brat, grab her arms, and force her to work a little faster. I'm also not allowed to shove her off her chair.

                    • "because you're stupid" is not the correct response to "why isn't this working?". even if the customer just needs to hit the big flashing "OK" button
