Day 184: Cold; 15 degrees; 85 t/a
Was slightly irritated when I arrived, b/c Marilyn complained about me 'always' being 5 mins late. It clearly states we have a 5 min window of arrival. *eye roll* Anyway, took over for her and was busy the 1st hour. Learned Pro Kathy made the Million Dollar Club! HC Kay sent me to lunch at 6:30 and when I returned, swept, sanitized the coffee bar, and tried to stay warm. Did my LU, AP4Me, and my PCI refresher. Locked the doors at 9; Loader Joe brought in the concrete and took my trash...then I realized I'd missed the trash can at the far end, UNDER MY COAT! Joe took it also. Put up my vest and returned items to Tools, Paint, and Toys. Clocked out at 9:20.
From The Stupid Files.....
1) Customer had a cut sheet of plywood, and when I went looking for the tag, realized the rest was on another cart. "Oh, I have to take the whole thing?" Ummmm....yes, yes you do.
2) I mis-heard Pro Ian....thought he called me 'grandma'! Nope, he'd asked, "How are you doing?" Geez.....
3) At times, words failed me. Could not remember 'Are you a rewards member?" It came out, "Are you a........(brain fart)" Wanted the customer to hand me the toilet connectors...."Can you hand me the doohickey?"
4) I was also amazed at how many parents brought their small (5 and under) kids out in this frigid temps.
Outfit: B/W fleece shirt, black vest, black l/s tee, new dark jeggings, fair isle leggings, red headband, and fleece jacket.
Day 185: Frigid, 6 degrees; 74 t/a
Arrived in a crabby mood, due to the cold temps and the knowledge I forgot to take my meds. Somewhat snippily told Marilyn I'd attempted to be more punctual (arrived at 3:01), to which she thanked me. Was busy for a half hour, then did the prelim duties, and was busy until 5. Fronted soda and tried to stay warm. Swept entire area, mucked the mats, and did my LU. HC Kay sent me to lunch at 7 and when I returned, pulled trash and sanitized the coffee bar. Final customer left at 8:50; locked the doors at 9. HC Kay cleaned me out; Loader Brighton brought in the concrete; put up my vest and clocked out at 9:20.
Outfit: Blue crew Cabela's sweatshirt, white turtleneck, new dark jeggings, fair isle leggings, red headband
Off the next two days!
Day 186: Cold, 20s; 100 t/a
Arrived and marveled at the new front end....ASCO closer to the door, expanded Fullfillment. smaller CS area. only 2 registers up front. Took over for Kem and was instantly busy for an hour. Did the prelim duties and LU. Kait sent me to lunch at 5:30, and we had a pizza party, due to being 90 days w/o an incident. Returned and swept, pulled trash, and was slammed at 8pm for the entire hour. Locked the doors after the final customer and sanitized the coffee bar. HC Austin cleaned me out; took my trash to the hopper. Loader Jax took the hopper; Loader Con brought in the concrete. Shut the door again and returned items to Plumbing, Tools, and Fashion Bath. Clocked out at 9:30.
Outfit: White textured sweater, black l/s tee, new dark jeggings, fair isle leggings, blue posts.
Off again tomorrow!
Day 187: Rare Sat 40s; 63 t/a
Was asked to come in; arrived and send Dawson up front; did the prelim duties and was fairly steady. Did get my LU done, plus swept the area, mucked the mats, and pulled trash at 8. Sanitized the coffee bar. Locked the doors at 9 and after HC Austin cleaned me out, returned items to Tools, Aisle 10, Paint, and Hardware. Clocked out at 9:30; D met me at Denny's.

Day 188: Rare Sun 40s, sunny 15 t/a
Discovered I'd been on Marilyn's log in since 3!
Arrived and finished ringing up Marilyn's customer, then apparently never logged out until my break!
Theresa came down until 6; Reg 5 wasn't working. We traded taking customers, and I did the prelim duties and LU until she arrived. I took my break at 5:30, and when she left, I swept the area and sanitized the Pepsi cooler (had an inch of dust on it, ha ha!). Loader Joe brought down some discounted insulation and said ASM Chris had instructed me to get rid of it at any price. Ended up selling it for 50%.. Final customers left at 9; locked the doors; Loader Joe brought in the concrete. HC Kay cleaned me out; I took the trash to the hopper. Put up my vest and clocked out at 8:30.
From the Stupid Files....
Customer yesterday brought in a volt tester that 'didn't work'. George looked at it; the batteries were in backwards. Customer went on his way. Today, he's back and it's still not working. Okay; I refunded it and he went off to get another one. Then he was surprised when I charged him for the 2nd one; I realized the price was different, so took off $5 and he still refused it! Rang him up for his tape measure and he went on his merry way. *shakes head*.
