Horrible

Saturday sucked. More so than usual. Thank fucking god I did ad Friday night or we would have been that much more behind. It was a mess the whole fucking night and I was irritated the whole day.

All of the newbies don't do shit. Whenever they aren't helping guests, they just stand there. There is plenty of to do. From now on, I'm going to bring it up with them, and if they still suck, I'm gonna try to get them out of Guest Service. We have enough lazies up there as it is, we don't need more.

So the newbies not doing anything pissed me off, and that was just the beginning. It was fucking busy and there were people everywhere. By the end of the night we had $311,000 in sales. It was a disaster. We had Guest Service relatively clean until about 9pm. We tried to do our closing duties but we either were busy with guests or one of us got pulled out to cashier. It was me and Phyllis and thank god because a newbie would have only made things worse. Salesfloor people kept bringing shit up and put it all over the counter so that it looked like a fucking pig sty. And then more brought up cartfulls. So we were trying to sort it while helping guests, and then Bridget brings up this basket full of cosmetic defectives. We couldn't fucking do it because we were already behind and doing all of those would have taken a good half hour. So Phyllis and I sort all of the abandoned shit and take the carts out of Guest Service and shut the door so no more people could come back there. They could sort their own stuff. So the store closed soon after. Well, the only thing we had done Guest Service-wise was that I did the paid and left at 7pm (really early) and got binders from the lanes for the ad.

So I'm still trying to sort through the mess that people are still bringing up, and putting the new ads in the binders. This bitch walks in the exit doors at 10:10pm. Mind you we closed at 10, but there were still people checking out. Well, she comes to Guest Service and says she wants 10% off. We thought she already applied for the card and just wanted us to apply it to her receipt. Nope, she didn't even apply yet. Well, she was approved and we had to do a fix it fast, and we keep the old receipt. She wasn't having any of it. She still wanted the old voided receipt because she said her husband was picky about receipts. Boo hoo. I told her we absolutely have to keep the receipt, so she put up a big stink and I went to photocopy it for her. That was at 10:30. The bitch finally leaves around 10:40pm, 40 minutes after the store fucking closed.

So Phyllis and I went into turbo mode and brought binders back to the lanes, hung ad, put the ad in the kiosks, closed the GS registers, brought the media to the head cashier office, and recorded the target cards in the book. It was a nightmare.

Well, after I get done with the GS shit, Sharon makes me disassemble the sale signs. That took for fucking ever, and then I had to go put them away. Well, by the time I was done they had already sent everyone home and so I punched out at 11:30pm. Yuck.

Now the store is open until 11pm every night until the day after Christmas, so I'm positive that will suck major ass.

Phyllis and I were talking about how the newbies get all the mid-day GS shifts and never have to close at GS. I kinda bitched out Sharon saying that it wasn't fair and they would have to learn it eventually or else they shouldn't get shifts up there. Why should I be doing all the closing and not get any good shifts? It's total bullshit. Well, Sharon said she would make a note about it.

Phyllis was also talking about how the veterans (veterans vs. newbies of GS) get scheduled cashiering when a newbie is at GS. That's not fair either. The head cashiers told her it had to do with her availability but she called them out because she had the same exact shift as the person in GS. It better not fucking happen to me or I will bitch and not go in that day. No fucking way. I'm expecting ALL GS shifts until January. I'm too much of an asset to GS to be cashiering.

Then, you know how I wanted to come in early for the day after Thanksgiving to get people to sign up for cards? Well, I come in at 5:30am, but that's not the problem. Christine is scheduled at 5am to do the same thing. So she'll already have a 30 minute advantage. She asked me on Saturday if I was going outside to ask for cards, or staying inside to enter hers? Uh no bitch! I'll be right outside with you! I'm gonna bitch to the head cashier on Wednesday because that's not fair that she gets a half hour start on me. I actually wanted to get cards and that's the only reason I volunteered. If they think I'm coming in to type in cards for Christine, then I'll see them at 6am. I don't do bitch work. She can type in her own god damn cards. It's just not fair for me coming in at 5:30 and Christine has already asked everyone that's there, so my only chance is with the people that get there more towards opening. It just really pisses me off. That can make my whole day rotten if I get only a few and Christine gets billions. Fuck her.

Well, my next shift is Wednesday and surprise surprise I'm working 4:30 to close! And we're closing at 11pm so that will suck. And Lona is there until 9, but I don't think I'll be able to put out ads until later. Also, I have to put up the 2-day ad, and that will be tough because I have to keep the week's ad up too. I've heard everyone that put it up was there late and all the salesfloor people left before they were even done. I have no idea how I am going to do this because the adboard will be full and so I'll have to tape the new one up. It'll probably look like shit.

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving, but not working Wednesday night or Fri-Sat-Sun. 8.5 hour days...kill me now!
