From The Stupid Files: Y7, W21

Day 74:  Hot, high 90s; 58 t/a
ASM:  Alex
HC: Austin
Loader:  Kaleb

1) Found out I'm up to 7 absences, and I get 2 more.  I need to find out where my others went; I thought I was at 4 or 5!

2) Matt asked us to fill out a survey:
-What are my career goals?
-What do I expect from them?
-What can they do to improve?
     a) I expect to retire in 15 years
     b) I expect to be given the time off I need to promote my work and to take care of my mom.  I do NOT call out frivolously; I only do it in a dire emergency.
     c)  I would like to train the closers in Lumber; I would like 2 lumber associates scheduled; I would like 25-30 hours per week; I would like 2 head cashiers per shift; I would like faster response times to Code 99s.

3) Was 90 mins late to work, due to not leaving Lafayette until 12:30, and had to run by home, since I didn't want my laptop overheating, or my deodorant to melt.

Outfit:  Gold tee, faded capris (unrolled),  Forgot earrings.....


Day 75:  Sunny, storms, low 90s; 72 t/a
ASM:  Daniel
HC:  Austin
Loader:  Joey

1) Matt was thrilled with my typewritten survey (see above), and told me that yes, there will be 2 lumber associates in the evening.  Also, the store was supposed to get remodeled last year, but was pushed back.  It's coming....

2) Customer had 5 full carts, which took me half an hour to ring up.  Loader Joe hopped on #2 in order to bust the line!

3) Customer wanted to save $$, so I signed him up for a CC. But the verification went to his email, which he doesn't have on his phone, so called his wife. When he finally got a hold of her, I sent two more codes, and we got him approved.  THEN, in order to use the shopping pass, it went to his email (head desk), so I had him text the info. His phone refused to cooperate, so after the 3rd attempt, I called ASM Dan. We ended up just doing the 20% and scanning the o/r.  Customer went on his way.

4) Joe and a customer pushed in a heavy cart of lumber for return as I was going to lunch. I looked at him and asked if he was okay, which he replied he didn't know. I told him to sit down for a few.  When I returned an hour later, he had gone to lunch.....but by 9pm hadn't returned.  Praying he's okay!

5) Kaitlyn Stevenson agreed to take my Friday shift!  Holly still hadn't fixed it, and I didn't want to burn a point.

Outfit:  Black Alaskan Hway tee, long capris, tiny silver hoops


Day 76: Rain, mid-80s; 76 t/a
ASM: Daniel
HC: Austin
Loaders: Kaleb, Jax

1) Heavy rain around 4; lasted until after 5. We offered our umbrella to anyone needing to go to their car!

2) Kaleb was drenched after being caught in the 1st wave.

3) Kaleb went home at 8:30, due to being drenched AGAIN while helping a customer load his order!

4) Customer made 5 trips in to fix his leaky water pipes.  Hope the last trip did the trick!

Outfit:  Dark gray IN tee, long capris, thin gold hoops.

Off the rest of the week for the Imaginarium Convention in Louisville!
