  • Spring break + prom= I wanna quit

    Most of my customers were surprisingly nice tonight, but the ones I never saw ticked me off. I went to help cafe girl for a bit and found straw wrappers everywhere, even on top of the trash, but not IN it. There were unused straws flaoting in seas of melted ICEE and popcorn all over the floor. So I was told to go to break & I did, and needed to stop in the women's room, which I really didn't want to do. Trashed. Packaging from pantyhose on the floor, paper everywhere, trash overflowing (our fault, actually). I was just so mad at the current mess, but remembering all the past Saturday ridiculousness made it worse. So I went out to tell supervisor, who was looking for a size mark on some shelves at the front lanes. There were a bunch of prom kids to our right, honestly not in anyone's way. CW and I were blocking an aisle, but it was leading to a bank of registers that weren't open. So of course I hear an SC complaining about not being able to get through because of "giant skirts or employees." The way she wanted to go didn't lead to any open registers so she went around and cut in line. I need a vacation!

        Someone who got a run in their pantyhose and didn't buy a spare?
        Seshat's self-help guide:
        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

          Okay, but taking them out of the package and (presumably) trying them on?

          That's a new one on me.

              Just a guess.

                She put them on in the bathroom and left the package on the floor. (The little trashcan in the stall must have been too full of pregnancy tests--I find them constantly). Who knows if the nylons were adtually paid for.

                  Why should they have to pay for them if the results are negative?


                  C-store had it right... Put the pregnancy tests and the condoms together at the registers. Big Boss once complained "people will be to shy to ask for them and not buy them"... If they are too "shy" to ask, they will be too "shy" to pay. Since, my sales of those items were 2x that of the other stores, they stayed put. Though, we did always seem to sell way more magnums when the girls worked a shift together...


                  P.S. At grocery store, we sold $1.00 pregnancy tests. They were always bought in sets of three. Why is that?

                        To use one per day, until you're sure you are past the "can't trust the results yet" stage.

                          People in areas that are in the middle of nowhere. The first night I took my wife out was to prom as friends, we met while working at a McDonalds. After I picked her up we made a quick stop there to say hi to our coworkers. in 12 days it will have been 12 years since that night. And yes we are in the middle of nowhere.

                            There are some women so interested in getting pregnant they keep track of cycles, they know approximately when to start testing, and will test day after day, and will continue to test as they want to see the lines darker. My wife has been on one of the websites that does this, they even take pictures of completed tests to have others analyze them, they invert them to negatives to check for lines, and lots and lots of other stuff. Good thing that is long past now, and I don't see that on her pc now.
