From The Stupid Files: Y7, W24

Day 85: Cloudy; storms; low 80s; 67 t/a

ASM:  Maria

HC:  Austin

Loader:  Jack, Kaleb (called in)

1) Was late, due to signing granddaughter A up for classes at Clark MS, then giving Sara the 'grand tour', since she never got one last year.  Stopped by Hibachi on my way out and bought a shimmer dragon for $16!!!  Those go for $40 at cons!

2) Stormed; didn't have a lot of customers. And only 2 after I returned from lunch at 9.

Outfit:  USA Lab tee, long capris, large zirconians.

Day 86: Hot, low 80s; 101 t/a

ASM:  Maria

HC:  Austin

Loader:  Jax, Diana

1) Was disappointed that only Jax would be with me, but fortunately, no one needed him!  Diana showed up at 6:30.

2) Scanner #2 would only scan 1st item; wait 5 seconds then scan 2nd....and so on.  Weird....

3) Ran short of receipt paper

4) Did my Harassment training and had an eye-roll moment....now we're instructed to 'be respectful of other's pronouns'.  Until I'm told otherwise, it's him/her.

Outfit:  Purdue tee, long capris, treble clefs

Off tomorrow, to take Ned to Washington and Alex clothes shopping for 'unmentionables', ha ha....

Day 87: Hot, low 90s; 87 t/a

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Austin

Loaders:  DS Charlie, Miguel, Diana

1) Fairly slow night

2) Alex griped when I returned items to Millwork, but didn't put it away, so went back and did it.

Outfit:  Gray America tee, long capris, large thin gold hoops

Day 88: Hot, mid-90s; 98 t/a

ASM:  Maria

HC:  Raven

Loaders:  Jack, Diana, Kaleb (called in)

1) Accidentally charged customer's CC instead of his LCC; had to refund/rebill. Fortunately, it was one of my frequent-fliers!

2) Kem accidentally took my Zebra to the back; found hers at #2, so gave me that one!

3) Customer was in a hurry and RUDE! Lady, I can only go so fast as the computer lets me.

4) Came back from lunch; Diana was dealing with a lady with the wrong tools, so was on #2 for 30 minds until D from Tools came down and worked her magic:)

5) Was busy until 9:15; did manage to sweep, pull trash, and clean the coffee bar.

6) Final customer had 3 carts at closing.  If I see them again, I'm going to propose they join Pro, since they spend over $2K EVERY TIME!

7) Met Greg Swindle from JHS, class of 1985!  He didn't spend much time in the nurse's office, so didn't know my mom.

Outfit:  Yellow Fla tee, long capris, sea horses

Day 89:  Rare Sat Hot, mid-90s; 68 t/a

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Austin

Loaders:  Jax, Kaleb (he's had transportation issues)

1) No break; Austin covered my pit stop

2) Kept thinking it was Sun; we were very slow.

3) Helped a customer with fencing; had to pull out my rusty basic geometry and figure out how many posts he'd need.  Turned out I was 1-2 off; Alex asked why hadn't I called him? Thought he was busy running things....actually, thought I could figure it out!

Outfit:  Gray flower USA tee, long capris, thin gold hoops

Day 90:  Rare Sun Hot, mid-90s; 37 t/a (4:30-8)

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Kaitlyn

Loader: Jax, Jack

1) We were SLOW!

2) Five mins after I arrived, both Kait and Alex asked if I was all right.  Alex told me I looked 'frazzled....I'd tried something different with my hair and it went wild!

3) Alex scolded me for not staying 'in my bubble'....I asked if I was allowed to breathe in the bubble?  LMAO!

4) Had three customers close to close, with the final one at 8:06.

5) Had a woman who wanted a Pro account, so she could get the discounted shipping on a delivery.  Thinking we closed at 7, she hadn't brought her cell phone (it was 6:30), then was relieved to find out we closed at 8! Managed to get her signed up, and everything went well. Jack took over on the register while I was getting her signed up.

Outfit:  Blue flowered blouse, long capris, silver crosses
