  • First day on the job... **sigh**

    It's not really too bad, but it did stick out:

    SC: Do you have those poster size singing cards?

    Me: I'm new but I can ask.

    Me to store associate "Do we carry those big poster sized singing cards?

    Store associate: "No we don't."

    SC: "Okay, thanks."

    We leave the card department

    On the way back to the front, SC says to me: "Do you mind if I leave these? (She shows me the basket of deodorant, soap, and hairspray, on her arm.) I'm going to Walmart to get them, because I know Walmart would have them."

    I take the basket off her hands, a bit perturbed, not sure what remark to make, that she should purchase said items. I tend to get timid and shy at new jobs, not liking to be pushy, because I don't want to get fired on my first day.

    Evil of me to think this, I know (surprise surprise) but I hope Walmart didn't have her precious cards, either! And I'm sure she didn't say that in the least polite tone, either! Ugh!

      The regular sized singing cards at wally world are somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-$6 here. I can only imagine what kind of small fortune she would be spending on a "poster size" singing card! Dang, that'd be a small paycheck for me!

        At least she said "thank you" when you helped her and asked if she could leave her stuff, rather than stashing it where it didn't belong.

          Don't feel to bad.

          My little sister got fired as a cart pusher on her first day for telling a dick head to fuck-off.
