"Behind Something"

These past two shifts were so much fun. I worked with some great people and it reminded me of how my store USED to be. Everyone was laughing and having an all around good time.

Well, Saturday I worked 3:30-close cashiering. It wasn't bad because I was a breaker. I also bagged for people for my first hour and a half. There were 4 breakers and not that many breaks, so it was an easy day. The funnest part came at closing. Somehow, me, Tony, Jackie, and Jeni I think all were helping zone Domestics. We were also putting away returns. Anything we couldn't find people asked me where it went. I started saying, "Behind something." So we hid things we couldn't find behind other things, and we just kept laughing. We were zoning as we did this, and fucking idiots take shit out of the packaging, and it's next to impossible to fit it back in there. So we tried but it just ended up looking like shit. We were all bashing Canadians in the mean time. Jackie had just transferred from another store, and she said she was having so much fun at this store. So that was cool. We were all expecting for AP to talk with us in the morning about us hiding shit behind other things. Then Sharon came out to help us, and while she was zoning, she found something we hid, and I burst out laughing. Then so did everyone else. We blamed it on the Canadians. Then we were finally finished and Sharon told us we could go. As we walked up to the front, we noticed no other TMs were there. They left without telling us. Oh well. We ended up punching out at 11:15, which isn't *that* bad, but it could've been a lot better. Then there were some other TMs by the timeclock and one made fun of Tony's orange juice. Tony said, "Do you know what frozen orange juice looks like frozen on a car?" Everyone laughed, and the girl said, " You don't know what I drive." Tony said he'd just do it to every car. Then as we were walking out I said as he was pouring it on the store manager's car, he would probably come out at that time and see Tony doing that. We all laughed again. Oh Good Times!

Then, I worked 12-4 in GS today, and it was also really fun. Me and Tony (Tony and I for you grammar freaks) opened, and Melissa came in at 1:30. We didn't have any really mean/rude guests so that was good. We just all had a fun day.

Still, the Canadians were the majority of our customers, and hopefully this will be the last major Canadian rush day. We're thinking that they have spring break at their universities, but that still doesn't explain why the whole fucking population is down here. And today I returned so many things that the fucking Canadians bought yesterday. What the fuck!? Seriously. What the fuck is wrong with these people? If you don't want it, don't fucking buy it. It's not that hard of a concept.

Then we had our very own hit-and-run in the parking lot. I don't know what happened with it though, so this isn't that great of a story.

Someone asked Melissa on Saturday while she was cashiering where Target was. YOU'RE IN TARGET YOU FUCKING MORON!!! Of course they were Canadian. My fucking god, how the hell do you know where to go if you don't know where you are? And of course, Melissa was wearing a shirt that said Target on it, and also her name tag, but people don't like to read anymore, but that's a whole other venting story. It still amazes me. I've had this question asked to me a while back, and they were Canadians again, and this is how the conversation went:
Stupid Canadians: "Can you tell me where Target is?"
Me: "You're in Target."
SC: "No, but where is it?"
M: "YOU'RE IN TARGET!"
SC: "I know, but where is it?"
M: "You are in Target! This whole store is Target!"
They left still not believing me.
This goes back to the idea of what our doors say. Expect More Pay Less over the blue doors, Grocery over the green doors, and SuperTarget over the middle TM entrance. Canadians are too stupid to figure out that this is one store with 2 guest entrances. Just yesterday, some Canadians came through my lane and they were talking about going to a grocery store to get some things. I gave them my 'are you fucking retarded?' look, but I didn't want them to stay in my store with cluelessness like that.

Oh, thank God the weekend is over. Hopefully we'll see less Canadians...Hopefully.

I also told Maggie I wouldn't need any of my spring break time off because other people I wanted to go with couldn't get it off. So I told her she could cross mine off, and *cough cough* should give me more GS hours during that time. She said she'd think about it. Fine by me.

Well, I don't work in GS for almost 2 weeks now! AUGH! Oh wow, I just hope things stay like they have been these last 2 shifts. I close this Wednesday, and next Friday cashiering, and have varying shifts from now to that Friday. Oh well.

So next time you go into a Target, and pull something off the shelf, and find something else behind it that doesn't belong there, the "behind something" policy was enacted. Just don't get caught following the policy, unless you're a guest, then you really could get away with murder in the store.

The customer is NEVER right! Whoever says otherwise hasn't worked a day in retail.
