From The Stupid Files: Y8, W16

Day 75: Rain; 84 t/a
ASM:  Shannon
HC:  Levi
Loader:  DS Ian
1) Customer complained when I refused to let them use the dolly for their water heater; told them we had flat carts.
But we still need to lift it 6 inches!"
I called for a Code 3.
"Oh, never mind!"
Traci arrived and helped them!
2) Lumber associate Dan called in; the other person on the schedule had already quit two weeks prior.  Korbin came over to help, but all he could do was help customers, flat stack, and sweep.
3) Someone cut wire for a customer, but didn't know they had to write down the particulars.  Customer took a picture of the barcode.
4)  I ran out of steam around 8:30 and fought sleep for 2 hours.
Outfit:  Black Rebel Be Free tee, two button cut up capris, tiny silver hoops


Day 76: Rain at first, then sunny and humid; 69 t/a
ASM:  Shannon
HC:  Madi
Loaders:  Pro John, Korbin
1) Was still suffering from 'Con Hangover' until 6:30.
2) Had 'Chatty Cathy' customer around 4; I was trying not to pass out
3) Kem had called in; Olivia was on #1, I was on #2 until 5.
4) Saw Sam, Melanie, and Deb!

Madi took my picture; I posed with the Queen Bee tumbler very prominent!


Day 77:  Hot, 90s; 74 t/a
ASM:  Daniel
HC:  Riley
Loaders:  DS Charles, Pro John
1) People walked past carts on the sidewalk, then got them inside.  *eye roll*
2) People who push carts up to the door, then walk away.  Or leave their riding carts in the parking lot.
3) Forgot my fan; D brought it, but called me a 'crybaby'.
4) Alex is off Friday!!!
5) Customer's corporate card declined.  He didn't return.
6) Saw Shirley; she has a pinched nerve in her back.
Outfit:  Dept of Having A Good Time tee, 1 button cut off capris, silver diamond danglies
Am off tomorrow!!  And Theresa brought me the rest of the musical-themed 3D things she'd made:)


Day 78: Cooler, high 70s; 88 t/a
ASM:  Keri
HC:  DS Raven
Loader:  DS Charles, Korbin
1) Arrived to discover we had ZERO coverage, so had to take my lunch at 4! Went to Subway
2) My sandwich was on bread so fresh half of it fell apart and had to use a fork to eat it.
3) Returned to a sh*t show:  Customer needed 65 deck boards, but the order was marked 'Picked Up'. Think DS Charles had to pull them again.  Olivia 'had to pee reeeeeaaaally bad', so passed it off to me!
Then others needed orders found, and it was generally mass chaos for about an hour.
4) Earlier, Olivia had taken her last break. Customer needed o/r, so hopped on 2 until Raven arrived, but she didn't finish them out.  Ended up bouncing back and forth between two customers until #1 was out the door, then finished #2 and went back to #1!
5) Had a customer nearly leave w/o his flooring tiles!
6) Korbin bought me a candy bar, which I didn't have time to eat until after 8pm/
7) Place settled down after 8:30.
Outfit:  Blue tee with stars, 1 button cut off capris, thin gold hoops

Off tomorrow for Pride!



Day 79:  Rare Sun Flag Day Cool, low 70s; 96 t/a
ASM:  Alex
HC:  Riley
Loaders:  Pro John, DS Charles
1) Was busy from 3-6, when sent to break.
2) Busy 6:15-7, when the place died.
3) Needed an o/r; hopped to Pro Kath's register until Madi arrived.
4) Customer had to look up their card, so again I hopped on Pro Kath's register and bounced back and forth until both were rung up.
5) Found out LA Daniel quit.  THAT's why he's not been here all week!  It's been nice w/o Jax, ha ha....
6) When I arrived, there was no trash bag in the large can and NO box of shopping bags.  Also, no trash bag in #2.  Turned out Bryan didn't know where we kept them.
7) Forgot to give a customer their sixty-five cents; the hubby says he's not worried about it.  Gave it to the next customer.
8) Had a 'sand fountain'.....customer put play sand on counter and it 'sprang a leak'.  Teased him about leaving a trail so he could find himself back!
Outfit:  White flag tee, 1 button cut off capris, dangly r/w/b stars
