From The Stupid Files: Y7, W19

 Day 68: Cloudy, humid, 90s; 101???

ASM:  Maria

HC:  Austin

Loader: Joey

1) Was very busy until 6, then was able to do LU and AP4Me

2) DS Ian had ice pops in the ice bin, so ate a red one. 30 minutes later, I slurred, "That'll be $324.06.." then enunciated it, and asked what was in that Italian ice? The customer, Joey, and I had a good laugh over it.

3) Had a customer wanting a fan, but we didn't have any in box. Offered to check them out, but they went on their merry way. A little while later, they returned; I rang up the fan 'needs loaded', as well as their other purchases, then hilighted their fan on the receipt so CS/ASCO would know it was already paid for, and sent them back to aisle 25.

4) Apparently, Gracie, our new trainee, had a rough day. With only one day of shadowing (that I know of!), they put her in LG, then ASCO, with NO training, and she didn't know what to do.  ASM Maria apologized to her. I showed her how I close down lumber, and she took some returns back for me.

Outfit:  Blue LU tee, dark capris, small gold hoops


Day 69: Sunny, less humid, upper 80s; 93 t/a

Ended up calling in on Tues, due to intestinal issues which hit at 2pm and didn't let up until 5:30.

ASM:  Daniel

HC: Kaitlyn

Loader:  No-show Joe

1) It was apparently 'Call-In Day', which I didn't get the memo and called in a day early, lmao! Kim, who worked my shift yesterday; Adrianne; and Joe.  Izzy covered the CS desk; Yancy came in and covered ASCO; Robin and I did our thing. Fortunately, NO ONE needed wood cut, or massive amounts of wood or drywall requiring a forklift! I had one customer with a pallet of cedar pickets, but those are in LG.

2) Pro customer had me get in Pro K's files to ring him up.  Only took me 2 tries to punch in the CC number.

3) Had to call Libby at 7:40 for a quick pit stop; as I was returning, I saw Raven coming to send me to lunch an hour earlier than the flow chart said!

Outfit:  Sage green 'flower' tee, dark capris, small textured hoops



Day 70:  4th of July; hot. muggy, 90s; 73 t/a

ASM: Alex

HC: Austin

Loaders:  Joey, Charlie, Kaleb

1) Discovered my intestinal issues are most likely caused by my meds being taken on an empty stomach! I'm suspecting the vitamin or Mucinex....

2) Had a contest to see which dept could sell the most fly swatters, bug bracelets, or American Flags. Front end is in 2nd place!

3) Other than being extremely hot (drank 2 bottles of water in 2 hours), shift was fairly good.

Outfit:  Blue 4th of July tee, dark capris, 4th of July earrings and scrunchie


Day 72:  Rare Sat; sunny, hot, mid-90s; 151 t/a

ASM:  Shannon

HC:  Isaac

Loader:  Kaleb

1) Was asked to come in due to Yancy calling in. Our plans had changed (was supposed to go to E'ville to take the daughter to dinner, but her back's out.  Doing it next Sat instead.), so agreed. Went in at 2, and barely even had time to grab a drink of water! Solid until nearly 6!

2) Was able to 'boss' Alex....I needed a forklift, but Charlie had left and Kaleb wasn't in yet. He told me to page....I asked if he would do it; I had a line clear back to aisle 19. I went back to ringing up; he made the page!

3) Traffic slowed down around 6, and was able to start the closing duties.

4) Kait swapped shifts with me; I'll take her Sunday (13th) and she'll take my Friday (11th). She's trying to arrange a way to take my Wed, so I can do the IG interview.

5) Passed out free ice cream and freezer pops:)

6) Had a Haitian man come up with road marker flags and an American Flag, and asked if that was okay to put in the back of his truck, so he was street legal!  Showed him where the FREE red flags are!

Outfit:  Spare parts tee, long capris (unrolled), small gold hoops


Day 73:  Rare Sun; cloudy; low 90s; 71 t/a

ASM: Shannon

HC:  Isaac

Loader: Jax

1) Clocked in early; thought my shift was 3-8; turned out to be 3;30-8!

2) Once Yancy left at 5, I was slammed for an hour!

3) Customer Marco thought I said $29 when it was $39!

4) Jax ignored my pages for customer assistance.

5) CFH was not understanding how much $$ was in her account.  Had to hop over to #2 while she 1st retrieved her wallet....then her phone to call her daughter....and FINALLY be rung up!

6) CFH #2 walked in at 7:58, then couldn't find what he was looking for in tools, then bi***ed about the fact Bill had left at 7:55!  He finally settled for two items after griping he'd driven an hour to get there, and checked out at 8:15.

Outfit: Blue flowered tee, dark capris (unrolled); thin gold hoops
