it would be quite interesting to be fired from BOTH Mart's.

So I wake up this morning, and I can't feel my face, due to that stupid reoccuring sinus infection, and I take an Advil cold and sinus pill - NON DROUSY. Then when I left for work a few hours later, just to make sure I wasn't feeling terrible all damn day, I took 2 more. Well, they kicked in when I got there, and everything just felt like it was happening really fast, and like I was being really slow. It felt kind of nice, LOL...My face didn't hurt, so whatever. But this caused me to totally not pay attention to a CSM who was trying to tell me about a lady trying to steal a purse coming to my register.

"Bob and Lisa" somehow stand for looking in purses and coolers people buy, and looking under the basket for stuff people forget to put up on the belt. So a CSM comes over to me and says, "Hey Mandah, have you seen BOB AND LISA today?"

I completely drew a blank.

I was like, "Bob and Lisa?? I don't know Bob, or Lisa."
"Mandah, you know...LISA...and Bob??"
"I have no idea who you're talking about..."
"BOB AND LISA?!"
"Bob in the bakery?? No..OHH!!!!! BOB AND LISA!!! Yeah...Oh..wow...I did see them earlier.."

And she walks away.

I look under the basket, and I see nothing. And I don't see any purses on the belt, or anything to look through. So I thought maybe that was a sign to look through all the clothes they were buying, because peopel sometimes stick stuff in clothes. I didn't see a thing. It made me wonder why she said that, so I looked at one of the ladies purses, but it looked as if it was her's because there was a bunch of junk sticking out of it. Stuff I see all the time, you know?

Suddenly I notice a few CSM's and security near my register. I pay no mind, because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be searching for consider there was no Bob or Lisa to look for...

An hour later, I get called the back room, because "Manager Chris wants to speak with you in the office."

Whhhattt the fuck.

So he asked me to tell me what I thought of that situation, and I honestly didn't know what to think because I wasn't sure what I was looking for. He told me the first woman put a purse she was buying on the belt when she saw security coming. But when security walked away, she put it on her shoulder to steal, and somehow I am responsible for that because Sherri told me to look, and the lady stole the purse in front of my eyes. I don't recall seeing a new purse...or seeing one on the belt...but he told me to keep my eyes open because people will scam us on a MINUTE-TO-MINUTE basis now that Christmas is here. Then he asked me how I felt about the situation, and I sort of shrugged and gave a confused face...because I mean, what am I supposed to say? It wasn't intentional, I should have been more informed. Then he tells me, "So you don't care? This is going to happen all the time and you just don't care, do you? Why are you shrugging? This is serious." THAT, pissed me off.
"Uh, no actually I don't appreciate you telling me that I don't care, because that wasn't what I said. I don't know what you WANT me to say. I mean, I know to look out of stuff like that, I've been cashiering for a while and I know to look for these things. I got screwed over by theives in my other job, it's not going to happen here. I'm sorry, and it's not like I KNEW what they were doing and let them, but I don't know what you really want me to say."

He said consider that my warning. What a fuck. I didn't get written up or anything, but I guess if I don't "snap out of it and pay attention" I will.

Then I go back to the podium, and I have a nice pink slip waiting for me. Pink slips are not good. Apparently my drawer was short 9.77. Three pink slips means you're fired.

I already have one.

So yeah, today has been fucking horrible at Wal-Mart, and it's time for me to go back now.
But they can fuck off, because I have my own apartment, and I'm moving tomarrow, and I'm going to have an amazing time Heather, and I won't see their faces for three whole days!

Rock it, bitch.
