first day back to work...

So I lied about not writing again. I just felt that today was full of stuff after my first day back to work that I had to write a blurb about it.

Overall... a very stressful experience. I haven't had to deal with so many customers before. Obviously I made a few mistakes here and there, but I hope that I didn't shortchange anyone nor did I make any other money mistakes... =X I just thought it was really dumb of the management to take their newest guy, give him 8 friggin hours on his first day of work, not to mention one of the busiest days of the week, and to top it off, lets let him close the store by himself with a "stand-in" manager who really isn't a manger. I think my company is run by geniuses... Not to mention, this week they gave me 27 hours.............. when I told them explicitly when I was hired that I wouldn't be able to handle more than 20. I know it's really bad, but I think I'm going to have to call in sick already... I do have 2 tests and a quiz this week. >_<;; So much work... *sigh* My managers couldn't even tell me what my starting pay was. It better be worth it in the end...

The most interesting thing that happened today, (when you see so many people throughout the day, you're bound to see some whacky stuff) was when I was ringing this middle-aged man up and I told him the amount due. He proceeded to empty out the coins from his pockets and bring out some cash and it all fell on the counter. I noticed 2 pills on the table in amidst all the coins, which he quickly grabbed up and chucked down his throat saying, "Oh forgot to take my pills, my wife would kill me if I didn't." I just stood there @_@ a little surprised not at his comment, but the fact that he carried his pills, unwrapped, in his pockets, next to all those dirty coins.... Sorry mister, but I don't think taking those pills would help anymore. u_u;; I'm sure I'll see a lot more whacky things people do throughout my job now that I see a lot more people. Well, that's a wrap, time to get back to life.
