well today was the day from hell.
started when Vivian who shall from now on be referred to as Viv (she never said I could call her that - I just did anwyay)showed up at Adams.
I went to hand her the keys, but somehow ended up opening the shutter myself, telling her the alarm code from the paper she didn't take from me and turning the lights on. All things she should have done. I then took her through to the office where somehow I ended up running the open shop program (which I've never done before), opening the safe and taking the till drawers to the cash desk. Viv then didn't open the store till ten past nine cause she was faffing round in the back looking for something Kircaldy has on it's computer. And when I say open I mean she opened the shutters, and we had to tell her we needed to put the drawer in the till.
So far so bad. I then ended up keeping the keys on me as she'd bought new trews, without realising there were no belt loops for keys. That meant for some reason I had to make till change from the safe, "because I have the keys" but she was more than happy to take the keys off of me to get her handbag from the office.
She left the store for lunch leaving me in charge - I'm a fucking sales assistant and nothing more. What if we had needed to do a managerial function on the till??
She needed to ask me what to say when she answered the phone ("Good afternoon Vinni's Pizza, can I take your order?" obviously).
And on top of that she was a bitch. I wanted to rearrange newborn cause it was a mess, but she said No very snidely that I had to help with the overhangers (which are a fucking stupid idea anyway).
Overhangers are like those things you hang on doorknobs in hotels for coathangers and they say things like 20% off.
Stupid, putting them on every fucking sale item when the special sale won't last more than a week or so.
Stupid when it isn't in the diary thing written by our manager. STUPID!
She also asked me if I was still at school. No I left two years ago. Her reply? Oh well I have a 22 year old son. Well wooptee do for you, you old cuntbag.
So basically she was a total bitch all day (including being constantly rude to Ryan any time he mentioned anything dirty) and I'm glad she's not coming back. She was being payed higher wages than me and I was doing her bloody job!
Oh and one last thing, everytime I had clothes on the desk to tag and turned my back for a minute to get something, she would fucking move the clothes, once I caught her halfway turned moving them and she said "Oh I'm just moving these they were such a mess," meaning I had to go through them all to see which I had/hadn't done and everythng.
After work I ran to catch a bus and somehow ended up on the 18...... Didn't notice till it went up past Alexander St and I checked my ticket....... so I had to walk the rest of the way home. Woot.
Only good thing was that I might be promoted to sunday supervisor but thats a very big maybe.
Mum and dad are away for a whole week hurrah!
