Day 164: $7802
I actually did more sales, but was on Bright's login for about an hour, and Cam's for 20 mins!
Walked into a sh*t show, and it never let up until 8. No staff available to help anywhere, and I think everyone who could operate a forklift went to lunch at the SAME time! Just very frustrating. Did get my 15 min break AND my 30 min lunch, so that helped....then Kelly brought down a trash bag that turned out to be a sheet of plastic, so that amused me:) Had to hop to #2 when #1 tried to eat a check, then went haywire. One of my final customers bought me a candy bar to cheer me up. Returned items to Tools and Paint, then hung up my vest. Clocked out at 9:30.
Loader Dale NCNS again, so he's quit, which saddens me. We worked well together.
Thank god I'm off tomorrow for choir practice!
Outfit: Blue hooded Cabella's sweatshirt, faded jeggings, LJs, small gold textured hoops.
Day 165: $11,770
Arrived and took over for Cindy; Kem had left at 2. Was slightly busy; the IT guy was replacing the internal components on #2, so when I had to ring up the BOGO tools, had to do it on 3. Did get the soda fronted and shuffled and the other prelim duties finished. Alice sent me to lunch at 5:30, and when I returned, things had slowed somewhat. Did my LU and pulled trash at 7:30, then swept the entire area and sanitized the registers. Returned items to Plumbing, Seasonal, and Hardware after HC Brea cleaned me out. Clocked out at 9:30.

Off tomorrow for Thanksgiving!!
Day 166: Black Friday $10,131
Would have had maybe $500 more, but the tools didn't ring up correctly, and ASM G ended up taking them to SCO.
It's official; my new pain meds cause intestinal issues. Arrived and had to run to the restroom, then move the car (I'd parked in handicapped) and bring in my purse and water. I'd also brought in 3 doz choc chip cookies. Jeff even took 2:) The 1st two hours were enjoyable, then at 5, Amy came down and we swapped customers back and forth. I did my LU and my credit training, and brought in the carts from the sidewalk. At 6:30, we shuffled the soda and did the count. I took returned items to Plumbing, Aisle 10, Tools, and Seasonal, then took a pit stop and noted the times of our breaks. Turned out I was supposed to have gone to lunch at 5, and break at 7:30; Amy's was at 7. So returned and told her the plan; she'd get her break at 7, and when she returned, I'd take my 30. So that's what we did, and everything was fine. Returned and pulled trash; Amy swept and sanitized. Nanette and Al came and even went over to RK and brought Loader Aaron a bag of popcorn! Final 2 customers arrived; 1 was okay, but the other was a CFH.
-He had carpet, and I asked it if was all the same. "No" I found the item # and discovered the same one on the top one, so added 13 plus 11. Then discovered the 3rd one had the same item #. "I thought you said they were all different." "They are; one's 13', one's 11', and the other's 10'." I nearly strangled him.
-He had six DeWalt tools, so had to hop to #2 to ring them up. Finally got ahold of HC Brit, b'c they didn't ring up correctly. In the meantime, he goes off to get ratchet straps. I rang up the final customer, then saw ASM G take the tools up front. Guy says he was told to get a free drink; says he wants Gatorade, but got a Body Armour. *eye roll*
Also, earlier, needed an o/r on paint on Reg 1, discounted plywood on #2, and rang up a third customer on #3! Told HC Britt, "You didn't know I could work 3 registers at once, did you?" She laughed.
Also needed an o/r on discounted delivery; took two managers to get it figured out!
Wore my new antler headband, and one customer asked me if I was 'horny'.

Day 167: Small Business Saturday $13,204
Arrived and took over for Marilyn. Was busy for an hour, then did the prelim duties. Was fairly steady the rest of the evening. D came in around 6, but the tools he wanted, Reg #2 refused to cooperate, so ended up sending him to SCO. Amy sent me to lunch at 6:45, and when I returned, pulled trash and swept. Final customer left at 8:50. Locked the doors at 9; Jax took my trash, and I'd already sent my returns with Katy. After HC A cleaned me out, put up my vest. Oh, and got a credit app, so 'punched' the 'Christmas tree' and won a hat. Oh boy....I know what my Secret Santa's getting, ha ha! ASM SC had brought some delicious bread, and I brought him 3 of yesterday's cookies. Clocked out at 9:40.
Outfit: Mama Bear sweatshirt, faded jeggings, LJs, green Santa hats, antler scrunchie
Day 168: Rare Sunday $12,917
Arrived and took over for Marilyn. Was busy for an hour, then did the prelim duties. LG Chris paid for a snack with $100; discovered I didn't have enough $$ in the drawer. ASM CH came down at 5 just after I brought in all the carts from the sidewalk, and let me make a pit stop. Called LG C and he came down just as a customer was paying cash. Gave him his $95 after the customer paid. Started sweeping at 6; Dawson sent me to break at 6:45. Took a dowl rod back, and handed Olivia a screw when I saw she was in the break room:) Returned and pulled trash. Locked the side doors at 7:50, and left the garage door down halfway, lifting it up for Barry, who was getting carts. Final customer was at 8:05. ASM SC cleaned me out; I put up my vest. Found the heater I want on Friday for $25. Clocked out at 8:40.

I only work Tuesday, since am off Mon, then off W-Th for the GSH Vendor Fair, and Fr-Sat for the Kris Kringle Market.
Day 169: $7848
MTD: 126,610
Was scheduled 4-close, but clocked in at 3:30. in order to do my AP4Me and LU, in case there wasn't time to do it. As it turned out, I had a LOT of downtime.
Arrived and met Gabe, who was there til 5, which turned out to be a good thing, since a customer had an insulation machine, but the hoses didn't fit. I turned off my light and went to ask ASM Charlie and Pro J about it. J told me there was a box of brand new hoses in the closet, but I discovered I needed help opening up the door. C cut his lunch short in order to help me, and together, we made the customer happy. I returned to my register. Gabe left at 5 and I was busy for maybe 45 mins. Bit the bullet and brought in a few carts from the sidewalk (it was COLD out there; 33 degrees!). Saw Bonus Child AW, who talked to me for about a half hour, and when I got busy at 7:15, he left. Called HC Bre, since I was supposed to have had my break at 6:45. She came down and sent me for a pit stop. Returned and started sweeping, then pulled trash. Final customer was 9, and locked the doors behind him. ASM Charlie brought in the concrete; ASM Shan cleaned me out; I walked her up front and returned items to Seasonal, Tools, and Electrical. Took the trash down to the hopper, put up my vest, and took a glass tile back to Flooring. Clocked out at 9:30.
Off to the Vendor Fair tomorrow and Thurs, then the Kris Kringle Market Fri and Sat! Probably going to make cookies on Sunday. Or watch more Grimm....
