Life as a cashier...
I've been meaning to write a more detailed blog about my work, but I kinda lacked enough material until now. Although, in my current state I dunno how much I will remember.
How bothersome: When you open up your hand for change, but for some reason they always have to put it on the flat surface in front of you, which forces you try and pick it up at the most difficult times, such as when you have just cut your nails... arg... >_<
How monotonous: Every friggin day I swear I say "Advantage Card?" or "Paper or plastic?" and "Signature/autograph please" at least 200 times. I know this comes with the job, but sometimes people are just so oblivious. I mean, I know you come in everyday I do, but you still forget the procedure. You hold up the line and make me ask you again and again. Gosh people wake up! =P
How tiresome: Our store has been understaffed like crazy for this entire summer. They just hired a few more courtesy clerks (baggers) but we still need a lot more workers. I usually have a closing shift (not really closing since qfc is 24hrs, but the one that ends before night crew gets in) so I get stuck with stuff that other people don't get done at the end of the day. I really don't understand what is taking my manager so friggin long just to hire a few more kids do the work. I'm sure there are tons of poor teenagers with rich parents who don't give them money, itching for a job...
Sometimes kids can be really weird when they're going through the checkstand. One time, this happened twice, where I was checking these kids and they initially didn't have enough money, but manage to dig out enough change out of their shoe... That's just gross. Please people invest in a decent wallet to use instead of your foot fungus infested shoes to store money.
Another bothersome tidbit... when people crumble up their bills and hand em to you in a ball. Why..... do you really want to slow down the whole process by making me try to dissect what bills you give me in that disgustingly sweaty, crumpled mess of paper? Just take the time to keep your money in order and make the world a better place. I can't believe how dirty money is sometimes.
Moving on to some of the better things in life... I finally went to the IMA yesterday for the first time this summer!!! XD I was soo happy to finally go and play some ball and work out. I told myself at the beginning of the summer to make use of the IMA more during the summer but I managed to never use it during summer quarter... Unfortunately, there weren't that many people playing basketball then so I couldn't get a really good game until later. I will have to head back there again before fall quarter starts when I won't have any time... If you wanna go to, give me call!!! I'd love to find some people to go there with! Make me do exercise, lol.
OK, I need to make some goals for the rest of the summer before school starts...Hrmmm, thinking...
- Go to the IMA... at least 3 more times, lol
- Read Angels and Demons
- Try out a new restaurant
- Watch the following movies: Wedding Crashers, 40 y/o Virgin, Brother's Grim, the Aristocrat's... I can't think of any more...
- Try to get in touch with a few people that I haven't talked/seen for a long time...
- Ball into the nite like the world's gonna end tomorrow...
I grow weary! To the kitchen!! =D
