1) TWICE I gave customers $10 instead of a $5!
2) Cust wanted full bunk of 23/32 OSB. Jax was at lunch; Isaiah busy. Taylor gave me the PRICE; I wanted to know how many were in the bunk!
3) Alex is about to get on my last nerve. "No writing, no playing on phones".....so you just expect me to sit there and daydream???
