Thrive to spite them
Happy Birthday Atropa!
Cool thing today one of my coworkers let me know her mom became a citizen today !
Not so great our Ops manager/assistant manager is back from medical leave and I already wish he wasn't back. He is a nice guy but not a great manager. So far this morning he told me he would take care of one of my regular duties and to work topstock. Then he told someone else that SHE needed to do the regular thing . Then he told a team lead that coworker and I would be doing both things . And then he pulled ha coworker off the stuff she was working on first to finish up another task for him before she did anything else.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, working under managers like that is rough. Sorry you have to, askye
I was thinking this morning how I've spent the last 40 years intermittently working cash registers (some fairly long stretches where I don't touch one and lately it's once or twice a year with the outlet sales only, but the habits come right back every time) and how the rote things I say to customers have change over time. Just a couple of years ago I had "you can take your card back" burned into my brain as "Remove your card" popped up on my screen but nothing beeped for customers to hear but I hardly ever say that this year, everyone is ready to tap and just needs help finding the right spot. A far cry from actually counting back change and writing DL#s on checks
