(Day 189)
I know that
“Happiness is not a number on a scale” but being up almost 12
pounds (~5 kg) over the month kinda hurts the morale. I've been
feeling really bleah over the month. I'm not sure if that's because
I've been off of the diet for too long. There is a fascinating link
between Body/Mind/Spirit (emotion) health. Heck maybe looking at the
weight tracking up everyday is hurting the mood. I haven't been
making the daily blog, but I have been keeping track of the weight.
But I often remind myself that each day is just a data point on the
graph.
I spent most of
the week staying at Mom's house while she went to Yellowstone
National Park. When she got home on Thursday I cooked up a batch of
Fathead Lasagna and had split it up into four servings. I had those
in the fridge and had those for lunch yesterday and today. I have two
more servings for tomorrow and overmorrow (little disappointed that spellcheck didn't recognize the proper word for the day after tomorrow). Conveniently that would leave enough lunches until Tuesday when I plan on doing grocery shopping. I'm planning on cooking a single low carb casserole or soup to have for lunches for the week and just have those waiting in the fridge for me. I was loading up the freezer with various recipes for lunches, but that was overfilling the freezer causing issues with the fridge.
Man that first
half of the day stretched on for forever. It wasn't a bad day. It was
actually a pretty nice day. There were moments when it got quite
busy. It is the last weekend of the month, the weekend before a major
holiday. It was pretty active when I got to work at 11, but it had
calmed down considerably after noon. I'm writing this part at lunch
(4p-5p) but I'm expecting it to pick up later in the evening.
Somebody asked me why I thought it would be really busy when the sun
starts going down. I just said, “experience”
It was a pretty
active day for the second half as well. Active but smooth. I did have
an exciting moment when I stopped someone from stealing over $300
worth of stuff. The guy closing Self Checkout asked for a smoke
break. Technically he didn't work long enough for a break, but he'd
only be outside for a couple of minutes. As he was outside a lady on
one of the registers. She had a rather large order. Technically there
isn't a limit to how many items you can go through the self checkout
with, but the bigger the order the more likely that there will be
issues with the order. They just aren't designed for your
monthly/weekly shopping trip. I had noticed that there were several
cases of beer in her cart so I was standing by waiting for her to
scan her alcohol waiting to clear her ID. She did seem to be old
enough to clear it without checking it. But she had scanned a bottle
of Lighter fluid earlier this year they had made it so you had to be
18 to buy lighter fluid. So when she scanned the lighter fluid the
register asked to clear her ID. She had started her order before the
guy left to go smoke so that told me that she hadn't scanned the beer
yet because if you have an item on the order that you have to be 21
to buy it won't ask again for something that you have to be 18 to
buy. But the lady freaked out because she didn't have her ID with
her. I tried to tell her that I'd bypass the ID but she demanded that
I just take the lighter fluid off. Well, OK, but if you have declared
that you're too young to buy the lighter fluid, you're too young to
buy the beer. So I stood by to refuse sale for the beer. But as she
seemed to notice that I was watching her she started freaking out.
She started throwing items from her cart into the bagging area and
from the bagging area back into her cart. These seemed to be items
that were already scanned. So there wasn't anything that I could do,
but her actions drew attention. She pushed the “Pay Now” button,
but as she hadn't scanned a shoppers card the register asked for a
card to be scanned or a phone number to get the discounts for the order. I asked her if the beer was on a separate order because it was obvious that they weren't on the current order. She yelled that they were on separate orders, COMPLETELY SEPARATE ORDERS! And then ran towards the door with the register still waiting for the shoppers card. I chased after her yelling at her to stop. I was able to catch a hold of the cart before she got it out of the door. She yelled that I wasn't allowed to stop her and she was going to call the police because I had kept her from stealing the cartload of groceries. I encouraged her to. I would imagine that would make for a fascinating conversation with law enforcement. "Help, Police. The grocery store didn't let me steal several hundred dollars worth of 'food'!" I would like to see the look on the face of the emergency dispatcher during that call.
After the event I was kind of hopped up on adrenaline. But I started getting a bit nervous. I'm already on management's short nerve because of complaints of me being, "rude" and now I just chased after a shoplifter. I am Front End Supervisor and I was running the Self Checkout at the time. And what is the Self Checkout Attendant doing there if they're not supposed to be stopping people from stealing? (Well, other than helping people with running the registers) But I'm not Loss Prevention. Confronting thieves isn't what I'm supposed to be doing. And confrontations can cause issues. Heck there have been multiple people who have been fired for getting into fights with thieves. I didn't physically interact with the lady I just grabbed the cart. I don't get paid enough to wrassle. If she had gotten out of the store I wouldn't have pursued her. I'm going to work on a statement just in case management asks for one.
After the rush of catching the thief and the paranoid thought of being punished for doing so (I'm sure it'll be fine) I really wanted a beer. So I picked up a case of Nonalcoholic beer of some Michelob Ultra Zero (not sponsored) I was good on the diet for the rest of the day, but I don't think that these beers are very Keto friendly. Nonalcoholic, so I'm good on that end though.
