hate my job...
I tried to put this in a lj cut but I don't think it worked..im really sorry. it's long and
boring. Its just me ranting about things I despise...such as my
horrible job!!
I am beginning to despise my job more and more each day. My job consists of Packing groceries and retrieving wagons. Bleck, a crappy job. When I was 16 I got a job at Shop N Save doing basically the same thing, bagging groceries and retrieving wagons. However back then it didn't matter to much, I was making about $7.35/hour and at 16, that was pretty good money! lol However I ended up quiting that job a year or so later because I despised it so much. It is such a tedious job.
When I first applied for this job I didn't know I was going to be a packer. Heck I never even heard of this place until a friend told me about it. I heard they started out paying $10/hour and I thought that was awesome!! Not to mention I was jobless :^/
I have been working there since last August. At first I didn't mind the job, the people are incredibly nice ((most of them)) and the hourse are pretty good, considering the minimum we are required to have is 25/week, which is great for me considering my last job I was lucky to get 15 hours/week.
We have this rule at Costco that we need to transfer EVERYTHING. The only exceptions are large items such as mattresses, car jacks..etc really heavy stuff when we call for an "NT" on ((Non Transfer)). Well after working all day and constantly lifting cases of water, gatorade, cat food, dog food, things like that, you get pretty tired. So a lot of times we don't move the stuff. We check it so to make sure there is nothing in the wagon or package that is not supposed to be ((such as a digital camera in a cereal box!!)) and we send it on its way. We recently got a new manager ((thank god)) so people have been taking it a little easy with the transfering however Peg was on tonight so I was informed we need to move everything. I am fine with that so I did it throughout the night. I was packing for Liz, a lady in her mid 40's ish, very nice. We were moving everything...yadda yadda yadda until this one particular order. Someone was buying a push lawn mower. It was boxed up and inside of a wagon. Well I looked at it and of course checked underneath, and around and Liz was ready to scan it so we could move it out of the way, HOWEVER that is when Peg came and gave us a transfer wagon. She expected us to pick up the LAWN MOWER and put it inside of another wagon. I looked at Liz and was like..is she serious? and Liz said yes, so we kind of attempted to move this, Liz told Peg we needed help, and Peg just looked at us...and said...well lets just not move it then... all huffy like..I was like..wtf!! ok I am 5'3" 115-ish and Liz is 5'1" 150-ish. we are NOT very strong!! and it was a FRIGGEN LAWN MOWER!! hello people!!
I was so pissed after that, it got me all worked up!! I didn't say anything, I kept my cool and all, but I was just in such awe..I was like...tell me she is friggen kidding? Ok they get mad at me when I lift a case of water by myself ((which I can handle no problem)) but yet they want me and Liz to move a LAWN MOWER!! omg!!
So that was when I realized that this place is really getting out of hand. Liz also informed me that we are the only Costco that has this rediculous transfer-everything rule. I can understand moving things, cuz sometimes we find books and such underneath things that the customers forgot...but a lawn mower? get real people!!
That just tipped me off. I wasn't in a great mood to begin with. I wasn't grumpy or anything but my shift today was 5-10. When I came out onto the floor at 5 they sent me out on wagons right away. I don't mind to much, I rather do wagons then pack sometimes, but it pisses me off cuz they don't keep up with it so I have to be out there and bust my ass to fill up the foyer, its very aggravating.
I was out for almost an hour until they called me in ((damn I wanted to stay out for atleast half my shift :^/)) While I was outside for that hour, that is when I realized how much I despise my job. The only reason I am staying is because I make $10.25/hour and I don't know of any other place that will give me that..or more ((wink wink)) damn this sux! I don't want to leave the people cuz they are sooo nice..but I just can't stand the job. I was considering going to another department but where? The only place I can think of would be sales maybe? But I don't really know much about the merchandise so i suppose I wouldn't be very good at that.....oh man this sux so much!!
Wow that was a lot of ranting..but it sure felt good!!
Tomorrow I have to go back to that hell-hole 11-7:30. Atleast I get to sleep in a little. It sux cuz saturdays are our bussiest days...man I really need to find another job!!
Well I guess thats it. I'm pretty tired right now, I guess it's time to go to bed..night all.
