Day 50: Rain, 60s; 95 t/a

ASM:  Shannon

HC:  Riley

Loaders:  Jax, Isaiah

1) Felt weird all shift.  Didn't know if I was tired or hungry, or if the mushroom-swiss burger I'd eaten made me feel sluggish.

2) Was HOT from 2-6pm!

3) Had LOTS of returns!  Several were taken back during my 15 min break, then more the first 15 mins of my lunch, and finally even more at close.

4) Felt like I had mild 'brain fog'.

5) Bought a 4th of July headband!

Outfit:  Blue hooded Cabela's sweatshirt, Hallmark Movie tee, dark jeggings, large hoops.

Day 51: Sunny, 60s; 77 t/a

ASM:  Dan

HC:  Levi

Loaders:  DS Charles, Darien

1) Felt a LOT better today!

2) Cust tried to 'help' me bag and put the caulk tubes in the bag wrong!

3) Didn't get my 1st 15 min break; Olivia left at 4.

Outfit:  B/W striped shirt, dark jeggings, black danglies

Day 52: Sunny, 60s; 82 t/a

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Riley

Loaders:  DS Charles, Isaiah

1) Olivia had a curious thing going on.  When I arrived, she was in the bathroom (2:50-ish).  At 3:05, she took her break in her car (smoke break???), arriving around 3:20. Then at 3:55, she had to use the bathroom again, and returned around 4:12!

2) Customer's card declined; maxxed out.  Wife got fraud alert; came in and wrote a check. Joked her hubby was in 'time out' while we waited for her arrival!

3) Everyone liked my hair cut! (4 inches off!)

4) Mr. Prov ran in at 9:53 and checked out with his PVC fittings at 10pm.

5) Isaiah informed me his last day is the 14th.  Booo......

Outfit:  Blue crew Cabela's sweatshirt, black dog tee, large gold hoops

Day 53: Rain, low 70s; 82 t/a

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Riley

Loaders:  Jax, Isaiah

1) 'Chatty Cathy' customer held up the line; it was backed up to Aisle 19. Someone called Alex and said it was 'freakishly long'. Madi came down to help, but by then, I was down to 2 customers in line!

2) Had to page 3 times for a Code 50 and for the saw. Jax blatently ignored me until I saw him, then pointed out the customer waiting by the saw. Madi unlocked the 100' drain pipe for me.

3) I'd forgotten my raincoat and had texted D about it, then CALLED him a few hours later.  He brought it.....at close.  Fortunately, it had stopped raining by then.

Outfit:  Brown gauzy shirt, dark jeggings, blue sappire hoops

Day 54:  Rare Sat Sunny, mid-70s; 122 t/a

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Levi

Loaders:  Jax, Kyran (import from LG)

1) As you can tell from the transactions, was BUSY!!  Non-stop for 3 hours; Trevor came to give me an o/r and stayed to help me out for several minutes!

2) Isaiah called in; hence Kyran's appearance

3) Finally calmed down around 8:30!

Outfit:  Gray leopard stripe l/s tee, dark jeggings, thin gold hoops

Day 55:  Rare Sun Mother's Day Sunny, 60's; 66 t/a

ASM:  Alex

HC:  Levi

Loaders:  Jax, Miguel (from LG)

1) Chaos around 3:45!  Yancy had gone to break (we were dead); Jax was at lunch; DS Charles had gone home for the day (I didn't know this). Suddenly, one customer needed shingles brought down; another wanted a pallet of concrete blocks; a woman needed help getting a board from the rack.  Multiple pages for Jax or Charles went unanswered. My Zebra malfunctioned; #2's phone didn't work. Finally, Alex appeared and filled me in the situation. He helped the woman and got down the shingles. Jax reappeared and was able to get the blocks. By the time Yancy got back, things were somewhat under control!  I took my break at 4:45 and gratefully sat down!

2) Saw Izzaboo!  (formerly of Millwork)

3) After Yancy left, at one point I needed an o/r, so moved to #2 again until Charlie arrived.

4) Learned someone shoved a pallet of garden pavers into the rack and bent it; it took two forklifts to get it down without it crashing down.

5) Friend Julie and her hubby Jorge were my final customers.

Outfit:  Blessed G'ma tee, #1 Mom pin, dark jeggings, large hoops.
