Canadian Spring Break: Day 2, 3, & 4

Day 2: Jack of all trades, master of 2.

Well, Thursday wasn't too bad. I ran around and did a lot of shit that day, hence the description above. So I was cashiering on lane 5. Not so bad, then I also got put over in Food Ave because they were busy. I ran the register, and it was only my 2nd time doing it, so people (mostly Canadians) were getting pissy because I was taking "too long." Whatever. It was fun though.
Then I also gave the operator a break. It was easy for the most part because I didn't take many calls. But then there was this one. The guy on the phone asked to speak with the STORE team lead aka everyone's boss. I tell him "sure" and go to transfer the call. Well, I missed a button, and so I messed everything up. I figured out how to get the guy back, and then I did it right. I was just thinking that the guy on the phone probably told him that I was a retard or something. Haha oh well.
I also gave Sara her break at GS, which was nice. It was kinda dead, so I just stood there. Then, I went back to cashiering. So, I was the jack of all trades, but a master of 2 (cashiering and GS).

Day 3: Longer

Originally I was supposed to work 2-8:30 in GS and Krista would close, but Maggie was the head cashier and hurt her shoulder, so she switched with Krista, and then I stayed until 10 so Maggie could go home.
On to the guests. There was this guy who had his statements for his Target cards. Well, he wanted to know if he could charge on his card only using his statement. I tell him no, that we need the actual card in order to use it. The guy totally flipped out saying how he's done it here before and blah blah blah. Maggie and I just kept telling him he couldn't. Then he says, "Well then I'll just go to (and he yelled this part) WAL-MART because they let me do it there!" Ok, see ya later, bye!

Day 4: Out of it

I was supposed to cashier 12-7:15 today, but I got out of it. I was supposed to be on lane 7, but lane 6 crashed so the person that was on 6 was now on 7. So, Sharon told me to bag, which I did for about an hour or so, then I just did random things. Then, after my first break, Sharon sent me to the fitting room to do returns. Oh my fucking god. I was running around the whole clothes area putting things back. Wow, there went 5 hours of my life I can't get back. I was SO tired after all of it, and still kinda am. Oh well, it sure beats cashiering and dealing with idiotic Canadians.

Well, tomorrow should wrap up the Canadian spring break HOPEFULLY. I cashier 12:45-7, but hopefully it should go well. I think pretty much every employee in my store hates Canadians. They are such rude, dumb, and messy pigs. I can't believe how 'Canadian' they are. It disgusts me.
