Sober Year 1 (Day 689)
Keto Kount Day 4

I was in the desk all day. Worked 12-9 Started off the day quite clumsily. I just couldn't remember how to do any of the money services. I just kept typing in wrong things, I'm pretty sure I almost locked myself out of the computer by typing in the wrong password. A coworker said that it really wasn't my fault though as he had been having a hard time getting the computer to take whatever he typed in.

He also spent a lot of day complaining as management had him putting up the Christmas decorations in the store. It isn't much it was just a couple of snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and a pair of Christmas trees on top of the freezer cases.

There was a time of excitement when I was on the phone that after the fact I realized she was getting scammed. But she had called the store and insisted that the gift cards she had bought weren't activated. She had bought over $600 in gift cards and when she sent the card numbers to “the person” they insisted that the cards weren't activated. She insisted that she paid for them and had a receipt that said “activated” on them and she had called the card company and they were sending her new cards, but she was wanting to know what the store is going to do for her. I told her that there wasn't anything I could do, she had to call the number on the receipt if the cards weren't working. If the receipt said “activated” there is LITERALLY NOTHING I CAN DO!” She has to call the number on the receipt. She said that she did, but she wanted the store to do their part. There is no more part to do, if the card is activated the sale is final. There is nothing I can do. There is nothing that can be done in the store. I was expressing my frustration of the call to a coworker and he was the one to think she got scammed. She was convinced to buy hundreds of dollars of gift cards and when she sent the card info to who scammed her they said that the cards weren't any good so she'll have to buy more cards to get her to send them more money. I was getting rather emotional on the phone yelling at the lady that there was literally NOTHING I COULD DO. Because, fun fact, if you don't like what I say the first time, you're not going to like what I say the 15th time I repeat myself.

While I was recovering from that somebody ran by Customer Service to say that somebody had ran into the store. I didn't understand what he meant at first, I thought they like ran into the store, like on foot, running in the store. But no, a guy going into one of the handicap stalls stomped on the gas petal instead of the break and smashed his car into the building. Ran into it so hard he left a dent through the wall into the cart staging area. Thankfully the occupants of the car didn't seem to be too injured, but they did seem to spend a long time talking to the paramedics. The rumor is that the guy driving was “fine” today, but “a little while ago” he had a stroke and since then, “he hasn't been doing very well,” which is a little unnerving that he had a stroke and is now driving around. But I shouldn't judge his condition, especially off of rumor.

It was kind of strange that I worked a 3:5 split, but the first half felt longer. Probably the sun was starting to go down when I got back from lunch so after the swarm of people trying to come through the store before it got dark already came through. But the plain pork rinds went pretty well with the Cheeseburger Bacon soup. Before I was having it with BBQ or the spicy flavored rinds. But the flavor worked really well with the plain. 

Picked up a steak on the way out of the store. Not really sure why, but I'm under budget, so why not.
