4th and working
I hate working on holidays, especially this one. Anyone in a store even seen a customer today yet if your stores are even open? 😡
...
My store is open. Just openned it 5 minutes ago. 8 hours to go. YEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW 👀
...
Ive been at work for a little over an hour and our mall finally remembered to cut on all the lights instead of every 5th one.
...
HAHAHA that reminds me of that post you made a looong time ago. Seriously, even to this day, "CUT ON PHONE?" C'mon now...
...
...to working in a mall kiosk is having to work holidays like this. Anyway, I'm out early. Can't complain too much.
...
Hallelujah!
I volunteered (!!!) to work today. It's a short shift, and once the rest of the closers get in it's going to be 20 minutes between calls (right now it's 5 minutes) and I'm getting paid double time to sit here and make a baby blanket for my co-worker... since I'm not on commissions I get the same money if I sit here all day and do nothing but pick my nose as I get if I sell 50 accessories.
And I get off at 4, the party starts at 5, I have time to go home, get my room-mate (and the beer!) and drive out. I'm happy to be here!

come in... wet phone. He tells me its wet and asks why his screen wont come on. well thats reason number 1, because its wet. Then I ask for his cell phone number to see if he is eligible. I get the following response.
Half drunk redneck hick - "What do you need the number for?"
me - "to see if you are able to get a new phone today at the subsidised price."
HDRH - "Oh its uh... 860 uhhhh... I got it here over a year ago at this store."
me - "thats nice but I need the phone number please."
HDRH - "Ok let me go to my car I have it on a piece of paper."
2 min later he returns
HDRH - "Ok the last 4 digits are ____"
me - "and the first 3???"
HDRH - "Oh you know... I got it from you guys at this store."
WTF?????????...

you should start keeping a shotgun under the counter for people like this....do the world a favor...

i rather be drinking while lighting fireworks while bar-b-qing while watching women dance on a pole while having a live band play all my favorite songs............ but i am working so i have to look at an empty store for the next 2 hours.
...
and im busy...i have 4 new lines out today! not even busy really, everyone that comes up gets a new line!
...
If only I could be so lucky...Some jerkwad dangled a 5 line plan in front of my face....But hey, I sold a battery....
...
I usually request to work on holidays because all we do is sit in the back and watch movies on a laptop. The best part about it is that my boss knows and doesn't care!!! Double time and a half for watching BORAT!! You can't beat that!!!
...
i sat in the managers office for 90% of the day watching vcast videos on the new chocolate and surfing the net. only had like 6 customers all day.
