sams mart
i started working at Wal-Mart a few days ago as a Sales Associate. The title is misleading because I'm not selling any associates nor am I for sale either. I stock. I take hundreds of boxes from the back, price them and then put them on the shelves. Sounds easy enough, except for the last part. Uh, if you haven't noticed, Wal-Mart has a lot of shit. i don't know where it goes. so it's kinda like a game, except i don't like to play it.
the interesting part of the job is all the people who come up to me asking for me to find stuff for them. I know they don't know i'm new, but i still find it funny when i go off on a tour through the aisles trying to find whatever they are looking for. The oddest part is I could be near two other employees who aren't really doing anything but they will still ask me for help. I guess someone put a sign on my vest that says "How Can I Help You?" or something like that. I need to get it removed.
I'm totally not used to wearing a nametag. A group of 3 cute girls kept wandering the store one night, giggling whenever they would pass me. Then one walked up to me and went "Hey Paul". This came as a shock cause I thought they knew me. So i looked at them for a bit then asked "do i know you?". Duhh....i'm wearing my name on my shirt fool. They found that funny and proceeded to wander the store longer, calling out "Hey Paulie!" whenever they saw me stocking something.
Janette is an older women who I work with most nights. She knows where everything goes which helps me a ton because, unlike her, I'm at a loss for where anything goes. We were sitting in the break room the first day and she goes:
Janette - "So you're just here for the summer?"
Me - "Yea, then back to school"
Janette - "Shit...will you come back for Christmas?"
I guess i work faster than normal trainies. Vundabar.
ciao
