Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happiest of birthdays, Dear lisah!
Yay for dense bones!
Boo for BS bureaucracies and blame-shifting! (Seriously, my blood pressure was rising just reading that, Sophia. Good luck getting through!)
Good luck with continued splatter-avoidance, msbelle!
Hope the tooth pain is NBD, askye!
Gah I remember why I like working with customers as little as possible. And why I'm happy not being at the pick up counter. Besides the mind numbing boredom of standing there is the mind numbing questions from customers. I kept having to tell people I couldn't check them out or do a return because I had no register.
Or having to explain how buy 1 get 2 free works.
And I had to deal with a snotty woman with a Trump 2020 broach on.
And people complaining we have Christmas stuff up. Next week our full display gets put up. Although some people were happy and bought stuff.
We had another new hire flake out and quit after no showing. A full time person quit to move.
Christmas is going to be rough.
Yikes, askye. Yep, definitely a reason I no longer work in Retail - all the *ick* people.
Did I say that our Outlet Sale that has always started 1 week after Thanksgiving is going to start in October this year? It'll make some things easier internally (getting our inventory back into order before the end of the year for one thing, and having the revenue hit earlier will probably be a good thing) but feels deeply weird. The weather will be completely different! I won't know how to dress - we're also back in the warehouse after two years of renting the old Walmart and having heat so my instinct is to bundle up but that probably won't be necessary. Or will it? I don't know! All my experience both working the sale and coming as a customer before I got hired is out the window for this crucial question. If it's actually hot I will be at a total loss.
Layers, -t! Light layers!
I was freed from that and went to filling orders. And discovered I needed to leave 37 mins early to avoid going over 40 hours instead of the 30 mins.
I did have an nice conversation with a woman who was looking at thr Chriatmas stuff and asking ⁰ buy online pick up instore worked. She is just learning to text and she told me about her grand daughter who is in high school and is an artist. So that was nice.
Aw, that does sound like a nice conversation.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday lisah!
Aw, sweet, askye.
It was a highlight of my day.
Which was my dad's birthday and I forgot. Except to call him at 10 pm. I also lost track of mom's and my nephew's and other important dates this month.
And I can't sleep. I am probably drinking too much caffeine at night. I didn't used to have this problem but maybe my tolerance for caffeine is changing.
