Tonight has been one of those nights that just drags and drags.
It's because we have so little to do. The warehouse has been
worked, the chiller has been worked, even the store has been faced up a
little. It's just quite a tedious night. We're not even
busy. I think we've had about 20 customers all night. Dull
dull dull.
Anyway, of the customers we have had, I think my favourite has been the
guy who first off took a paper from me when I was bringing them in at
11pm, then was queuing whilst The Blonde Bombshell used my till.
So I opened another one and used it. The guy couldn't have been
more helpful. He packed his own bag, paid with the correct money,
and then thanked ME for being an excellent cashier. I love
customers like that. They're helpful and then they thank you for
being great.
So, this evening I watched The F Word with my mother. We're both
Gordon Ramsey fans and at the end he yelled that people who want to eat
on The F Word should apply for tickets. So I did.
Unfortunately the site threw it's rattle out of the pram, so at the
moment I can't apply for tickets, but when I can, I will. And
then try to use The Law Of Attraction to bring those tickets to
me. I already got my mother a lottery win. Ok, so £10
was a little less than I was aiming for...
Now, whilst at work, we use a lot of computers. We have to,
pretty much everything goes through them. Even the tills are
Window PCs (WHY?) Anyway, this includes receipts for goods we get
in. And we still have to sign them, but on a little
digitiser. This is due to the unique way that the company doesn't
understand the 21st century and real digital signatures. I
digress. So, the computer has an anti fraud scheme built in, so
you can't just write a squiggle and pass it off as the store
manager. Now bless queen chav, I don't think she has been asked
to do this very often, because she wrote her name on the digitiser,
and...the anti fraud scheme rejected it as illegible! But what
makes it even better is that I am well known for having terrible
handwriting. My cursive writing is literally illegible. And
still the anti fraud mechanism recognises my signature as a signature.
But the funniest thing I have heard all day was about the most moronic
crash you can imagine. On the forecourt. A woman was
filling her car up with fuel when someone in a 2 week old brand new
Mercedes drove into the back of her car which sent it shooting forwards
and tore the fuel nozzle away from the hose. And then forwards
into a metal barrier we have in front of the pillars which hold the
cannopy up. I mean, you just couldn't make it up. Plus,
seconds after the fuel nozzle was ripped from the hose, the water tower
errupted (in a small way) and shot water over the forecourt, which
apparently some customer thought might be petrol and ran into the store
to report that petrol was just spilling out everywhere. Which
then sent the guy in charge into a panic as well.
Lastly, we were doing the store walk this morning, and Shoe was telling
us how amazing we had been overnight (seriously!) and we were
discussing many things, but the store walk ended with Shoe's comment of
"Well, this is just stunning" to me. I was quietly quite chuffed
because I did 99% of the facing up and Slaphead and Miss C constantly
tell me that my facing up is terrible. Apparently not.
Anyway, The Blonde Bombshell smirks and says "Yes, I know" so I glare
at him and say "And you're so modest as well" which caused Shoe to
burst into a fit of giggles. Bless! Permalink |
