So the weekend is here! Well my weekend at least. I just finished up a long eleven day work stretch. Alot of well deserve overtime pay as well. Woo-hoo! ::head bangs::. Anyhow, I got the next three days off. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Plans? Oh yes! Andy and I are going to the Expo Friday and Saturday night. I'm having a party Saturday night at my apartment after the Expo. Not anything big...just taking advantage of not having anyone living downstairs, guess he moved back on after school let out. He went to KSU, I didn't even know he moved until last week. Weird. He was quiet, but sometimes I would hear him on his phone talking some other language. Ethopian maybe? If that is even a language. Can't wait until Saturday night, but I know it will be gone as soon as it gets here and I'll be back at work Sunday night. That's okay though, mine and Andy's vacations are coming up. Gonna go to Six Flags and maybe to Newport Aquarium. Not very far away or anything big, we are slim on money and just want to take a break from work.
People are so crazy, for the most part I have alot of good customers, but there are dumb asses every other day. Had this dumb bitch today with a big order and wrote a check for it without having any kind of identication whatsoever in her big ass purse. So my cashier calls me over and I have to explain to her that we have to have ID on every check wrote, especially her $148 dollar one. She decided to argue with me, as if I could change the policy or make an exception. She then decided she wanted to speak with someone higher up than me, so I called an assistant manager Mandy to the front who basically asked me the policy on it in front of the customer which didn't make her too happy. The customer then went on to tell us how we will hear from her lawyer..and blah blah blah. Adventures of being a customer service manager. The other night I was closing down self-scans with Zantheria. It's 11pm, time for the people greeter to go home so he comes over and says he's going home. No customers are at the door...he leaves I go about my business and then psycho lady comes in the door with a bag of returns and starts yelling that she has been there for 10 minutes when just minute ago the people greeter went home. So she finally comes over to where I am and I tell her she can go to any register that was open for refund or exchange if she had her receipt. Well as luck would have it, she didn't have her receipt, so I explained to her she would have to come back during customer service hours for any refunds or exchanges without receipts, and it was 11:05 then and customer service closes at 10:50-11pm nightly. Well she sets there and argues with me. We debated this issue for what seemed like 10 minutes. She said she had been waiting for someone over by the door for 10 minutes. I hate liars, especially liars that insist they are right. I told her my people greeter goes home at 11pm every night, and he left just minutes before she came in making a scene. Grrrr!!!
Sorry for venting about work, it's just been really stressful lately because we are short on help and people who want to check out think we should open up lanes when we don't have anyone to open them. I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to wait in the long ass lines either, it's not like we're doing it on purpose, we lack cashiers and not alot of floor people know register and if they do, they are always on register and not in their department. A majority of customers understand and don't give us grief.
Ok, so no more work talk, don't want to bring that up again until Sunday when I go back in. LOL. I took my shorts over to Lindsay's and Daniel's Tuesday night when I got off work. I ripped them last year at one of Andy's parties he had when he lived over at Sara Apartments. We were drunk and doing a commericial with his camcorder for my sour apple martini i was drinkin and somehow I managed to rip my pants during filming. LOL. Sooo...on my agenda this morning...gotta go get my check, buy some groceries (my supply is VERY limited at the moment), get gas, pay my cell phone bill, and my gas bill. Bills bills bills! I wanna wash my car, just not sure how good it will do if it decides to rain today or tomorrow. Supposed to be chance of rain, but it's gonna be sunny Saturday. Ooh wow..if you read my blog you get the weather forecast too. I gotta call my sister later this morning to beg her to come to my place Saturday night, she hasn't even been here to see my new place yet. Loser! Well, think I'll go play Mario 64 to pass time. Happy June everyone!
