Black Friday
I survived.
It wasn't the customers that were driving me nuts, it was the idiotic seasonals we hired. I swear to Ghu, none of them listen, and only one of them seems to understand that a job requires some effort!
An example. For most of my shift yesterday, I was first cashier. That means I was chained to my register. I could go straighten up the impulse rack, and restock the registers, but that was it. I had two other cashiers with me, and when it got slow, I asked them to do some recovery work, like go-backs and the like.
They whinged and complained, then did a drag-ass job of it.
Look kids, we have *three* people here to close the store, and one hour to do it. I am not going to have three full carts of go backs to deal with when I have two healthy bodies to put them away before we close.
