Well, the first day back to retail is done. And you know what? It wasn't all that bad.
First of all, everyone was really happy to see me. I even got hugs from Cari and Candice!! All the new people were nice too. I never really had any complaints about people who work there (besides the gossip, but that's unavoidable with all those women in one place). And Joey (one of my favorite guys to work with, who is a year younger than me) is back for the holidays too!!! I'm not saying that it's not going to become horrible in the next few days, but for my first day back, it was pretty good. Only a few really stupid requests from customers and a mishap with having three people on hold at once and accidentally hanging up on one of them.
But... later when I stopped by the bank to deposit some checks, it was absolutely awful. There was only one person in line ahead of me and I was waiting for 15 minutes to be helped. Meanwhile, a line had formed going outside the door, and a baby started crying and I looked back and said to the guy behind me "This is ridiculous!" There were only 2 people taking care of the line, and about 3 employees just milling around behind the counter doing absolutely NOTHING. Then the phone rang.... and rang.... and rang.... Like seriously ten times and none of them answered it. I'm going to write a comment card about how awful it was. They should be more efficient, especially during the holidays.
ANYWAY
I'm excited for Sweemo's party on Saturday. It'll be a good time for sure.
That's all for now.
