but I don't really care. We earned this.
It was another large-ish truck today, and we were short a person, yet we managed to get done filling in time. However, the unload crew left us all the paper, detergent and furniture to backstock because they were shorthanded last night.
So while I'm trying to get paper filled and backstocked, the store becomes crazy busy AGAIN, and as usual we're runnign a skeleton crew because corporate still refuses to cough up extra payroll even though we're beating last year's sales to date. They didn't even schedule a carryout guy until 12:45, and he ended up calling out anyhow.
So as a result, everybody's running around all OMG! ONOZ! trying to get their projects done, rushing up to the registers for backup cashiering because they're being called every 5 minutes or so, and doing carryouts. And I end up having to help do carryouts and bring in carts because we're just swamped with people.
So then finally it gets to be 1:25 or so and we're getting ready to leave, but then our manager finds various little bitch jobs for us to do, stuff we would've gotten done had we not had to be running with carts and carryouts. "Oh, here's some folding tables for sporting goods that need to be filled, these patio chairs need to be put away" and so on.
By the time we finish everything and get up to the breakroom to punch out, it's 1:36. Two more minutes and it's 1:38. Our supervisor told us "Go ahead and wait, you deserve the fifteen extra minutes anyway, just don't tell anybody you did it."
And so that's how we all screwed the company out of two bucks and change each. But unlike other people, we earned every cent.
