At my job, Lines (Registers) 2-8 are what I like to refer to as No-Man's Land. Cause no man or woman is gonna make any gil there - they're too far away from where customers usually end their grocery shopping, which is usually at the bread section, on the opposite end of the store. Lines 10-12 are 'reliever' lines, meaning the cashier that's supposed to be there will only be there if they have free time; they have other responsibilities, but they 'relieve' that line if they can/want to. In other words, Lines 2-12 are made of fail and lose. Lines 24-25 are the express lines - 15 items or less. They are unreliable, because the frequency of customers that go there varies. There are 4 serve-yourself registers, which all baggers haet like loli haet pizza. Lines 13 and 14 are normal lines that usually result in good pay. It's the remaining Lines that are teh crazy.
My boss put me on crazy Line 15 today. Why is it crazy? Cause on this one, you don't have to push anyone out to their carts. So regardless if they tip your or not, you have another customer to try your luck on. But in order to maximize the amount of money you get, you have to go FAST on xbox-sized orders, by yourself, non-stoppu until the cashier takes a break. Which is like once every 5 hours.
I haev not been this worn-out in a while. But I teh reaped the rewards in the end.
I saw Big Mike (for those of you who know him by this name) today during my break. We argued about how Final Fantasy peaked at VII, fell at VIII, fell some more at IX, fell a great deal at X, fell on a spike at XI, and was left to die bleeding at XII and XIII. His favorite is IV (II in the States). I respect his choice. We also argued about fighting games. He and I both want to try out SF: 3rd Strike; we couldn't agree on favorites; mine is Guilty Gear, his is Marvel Vs. Capcom/Capcom vs. SNK/etc. Cool seeing him again; didn't know he worked at the same place I did.
Bought new courier bag for new school year. Close to beating Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Repliku Round 4 was a bish; Dark Aura eats up like 1/3 of your HP at Lv. 50.
And with that, I continue Tennis no Oujisama. G'nite.
