I wasn't
scheduled to work until 11:30 this morning. I normally work at 11:00.
but they had scheduled to close on Sunday and they scheduled me late
today so if I would have gotten out late on Sunday I wouldn't get any
overtime for the week.
As I was leaving
for work there was a National Weather Alert tone that went off on the
car radio announcing that there was a severe thunderstorm in the
area. And then on the way to work the Classic Rock Station played
ACDC Thunderstruck. I got a good chuckle out of that there was no way
that was planned.
I had saw the
storm coming in so I had went in a few minutes early so I wouldn't be
walking through the rain. And that rain came down hard. I could hear
it coming down in the break room. And that's a sign of a good
downpour. While I was waiting to clock in a lady who works in the
Bakery came into the break room talking on her phone. She was talking
about how she was worried about how her husband might get deported
because apparently he can't afford to go to his immigration hearings.
She was worried that ICE was going to come through the town with a
list and wouldn't even listen to what he has to say. It sounds a lot
like that guy who was sent to El Savador. It also makes me think of
the “Leopards Ate My Face” posts from Reddit. I didn't ask about
her politics as it was rude enough to listen in on her phone call.
But after she finished her call she asked me what the website where
someone would go to get a job at the store. I told her the site where
someone would go to apply. I didn't ask who she was asking for as I
didn't want to seem like I was eavesdropping on her call, and I don't
know his immigration status, but if he's wanting a job without being
a citizen or an immigrant with legal issues he might have a challenge
with that.
A lady got rather
upset that I made her ring up all of her items. She had quite a few
markdown items. And I noted that there was quite a few people with a
lot of markdown meat items. But this lady insisted that I tell her
how to turn off the beep noise of the scanner. There is no way to
turn off the beep of the scanner. She demanded to know why. I told
her it was because we need to hear if it scanned or not. She started
yelling about how she wasn't stealing. I thought she was kind of
quick to the defense, but that's just to know if things scan or not.
Eventually she did get a scale error where the attendant has to clear
the error before another item can be scanned. Frustratingly the
register doesn't turn off the scanner it just makes the scanner make
a different sound. I got her attention, but she tried to scan a
couple more steaks. I had to argue with her if it had scanned her
items and she was rather upset that I made her ring up the couple of
steaks again. She demanded to know why even bother having a self
checkout if the cashier is just going to, “breathe down people's
necks anyway” Well, you choose to use self checkout. And the
cashier has to “breathe down your neck” to keep people from
stealing. I'm sorry I have to do my job.
There were a few
more instances but this post is long enough without it devolving into
a “Mark whines about work" post. I know that there was more that I wanted to say, but it was too busy today to take any notes. It wasn't swarmed for the most part, I just couldn't find any time to step aside to write anything down. And when I got home to write this out my brain kind of just shut down.
I am glad that I went all day without buying anything. It doesn't sound like much, but a lot of plans I have rely on me not spending money every single day
