Halloween lives up to it's name.
So, as I've said already, we're moving. I finally got all the crap outta the house Halloween morning. Hardly anything is put away, but it's finally all in the new place. I do emphise the the FINALLY.
Dave's in Louisiana for three weeks. He left the day before. So I'm already a mess because of that. Keep that in mind as I proceed.
I arrived at work already pissy cus yeah, Halloween, and I'm working. The guy I'm reliving, callin him Zac, is on about how much his shift has sucked so far. Like won't shut up. Mine did as well the previous night. Over $3,000 in sales BY MYSELF. I figured it would be much of the same that night; I didn't need him to rub it in. So I finally snapped on him, actually yelled and told him I got it and was sick of hearing him bitch. He LOVED that. Really.
Manager screwed up the schedule we well. I was scheduled in 4 to midnight on Saturday, and then she put in me in midnight Sunday to 4am. I brought this to her attention and she said she took care of it, but she hadn't, or at least not to the person who would be covering me's liking. She asked me call another coworker (while I'm at work, by myself, busy as fuck) and try to get a hold of her.
Enter the children that are under the impression they're getting free candy from me. I tell them we're not doing that this year, at which point they start pointing at stuff, asking if they can just take it. They're not even dressed up, mind you. Just as mini-punks. The kind prost-a-tots date. I tell them if they don't leave I will call the police.
After a couple more hours, it comes to my attention that we have run out of gas. Yeah. Customers LOVED that. I had to go out to the pumps to bag them as out of service so people would stop trying to get gas where there was none. I left a store full of people to do this; they we're pleased. And while I understand that, when I crashed onto my knee when I ran back in (it was raining, of course) at least one person could have asked if I was all right.
Naaaaah.
People are coming in in massive groups, seemingly unending, and all seem to want to take thier bad day out on me. I've had quite enough of this after a few more hours, especially after a massively busy day the night before. At the edge of nervous breakdown, my favorite customer comes in, calling him Eric. I ADORE this guy. If I wasn't dating Dave, I'd totally be trying for his pants, he's just so awesome and sweet. He comes in with his usual 'Hi honey!'
At which point I start bawling.
I dont usually cry in public, even this far gone. It's a public place, and people get uncomfortable when thier cashier is sobbing like a newborn. Apart from that, I susally can't unless someone I view as safe is in the vacinity. I must've known Eric was as close as I was gonna get. He patted my back, tried to comfort me, adn I tried to reel myself in so I could tell him what was wrong.
He listened to me whine, gave me a cheezy Halloween puzzle (while I actually love to play with), and talked to me a bit before he left.
As the night wore on, the business died down a bit, and this girl and her friends came in. But I'm outta time for now, so I'll post the tellitubbies and and the girl in the mini that barely covered her pantiless ass later. ^^
