Crazy Jesus guy: Repent! Judgment is upon us, and we are all sinners!
Suit: Hey, there are some sinners in the next car.
Crazy Jesus guy: We indulge in things, and it's a sin!
Suit: Some really bad sinners.
Crazy Jesus guy: Repent!
Suit: They're just there in the next car.

 I don't completely blame this woman for this one, but she didn't have to take it out on me.

 So a woman gets in line. She's obviously in a bad mood, but she's pleasant while I ring her up. I bag her groceries, hit subtotal, and she swipes her credit card. Now, at my store (don't know if this applies in any other places) If a purchase is under $25, you don't have to sign the reciept. This woman's purchase was $21. I give her her reciept, tell her to have a nice day, and she stares at me with the pen in her hand.

 I smile and explain she doesn't have to sign, it's under $25.

And what does she do? She starts screaming at me for it. Now, the reason it perfectly fine. Anyone could use her credit card here if it were under $25. Perfectly logical. Yet she kept screaming at me. I explained I didn't understand why we had the policy (in a quiet voice as I get very shy and nervous when customers are unhappy, I'm not used to dealing with them yet, still new). My co-worker luckily came over to help and told her there wasn't really anything we could do about it, and generally helped calm her down. When she did, I suggested she write a letter to the head office about it, and agreed it wasn't a very good policy (especially since it was apparently something newly implemented).

Now, the reason the woman sucks is for screaming at me for it. It's a small suck, and understandable, but she understood it wasn't my fault (as she stated this) but she shoudln't have acted like it was my fault.

Other small sucks throughout the day was people refusing to come to my register when I called them down. You'd rather stand in line with 10 other people than come to  a register with no line? All right. It's not even that my voice is too quiet (as sometimes it is. I'm always yelled at at home for being too loud, so I'm careful not to raise my voice at work) because my co-workers, right next to the people, let them know as well..and still no one budged. Honestly, why would you rather wait in a long line when there's an empty register? After awhile, I did start to get a little louder, so I caught more people's attention (those that listen anyway). I also realized that I'm too short to be seen over the other lane's walls and have to wave my hand in the air to let them know where I am.

I spent all day today clambering around I-beams and steel cables and winches and pulleys in order to help replace some chain motors at the theater. I think this had an adverse affect on my muscular capabilities, because I went in to train tonight and my deadlifts were positively weak. Seriously, they were bad. I was hungry and tired and just couldn't lift sh*t. I lifted quite a bit less today than I did a week ago.

This is discouraging because next Saturday is the comp and I take the preceding week off of training.

Rest, recover, and recuperate. These Rs apply not only to my mission physically, but also mentally. Get my head into the game, drop a couple pounds, and go into the meet strong. Once there, win it. All.

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around here for ages but have never posted or commented. I have been working at the big orange hardware store for about a year now, and have accumulated a great deal of sucks. If it weren't for my amazing co-workers, I would have quit in the first month =p

Anyways, here's two sucks from tonight:

#1:
It is not uncommon for people to bring in their old part, tool, window shade, whatever so they can find what they need more easily. Tonight I rang up a man who had brought in an old toilet seat. It's gross and whatever but people actually bring in their old toilet seats all the time despite it being disgusting. So it's no big deal. Or so I thought. About 30 minutes after this 'man' left, the head cashier found the used toilet seat in the basket of one of the power chairs we provide to our customers who have trouble walking around our huge stores. That's right, this lovely creature had left his used toilet seat in the store's power chair. He didn't tell a soul. Just left it.


#2:
After thoroughly sterilizing said power chair, we had to put it up in the front again. A woman asked to use it. Guess what never made it back to the front of the store? OUR POWER CHAIR.

Today was weird...

Any other present or former hotel workers here got anything to add to this?

EDIT
Forgot to put it under a cut

( Under a cut for size )

Still doing the two-step with fluffy animal pillows at the biggest Mall in America

Dear customers of tiny children.

I accept that children put things in their mouths. I also accept that they will do so with *stunning* amounts of speed and accuracy. So much so that it takes barely a second of looking away before the baby has something there. As such, I do try to give some leeway if I catch a baby with part of a pillow in their mouth. The things are machine washable, after all, and while it's annoying to have to take a pillow all the way home and wash it so that I can sell it again, I accept that it's not quite right to punish you for something that could have reasonably happened to anyone with a small child.

However, if you activly put the pillow to the baby's mouth, do not try to act surprised when the baby wraps her mouth around it. Should you be dumb enough to put the pillow to the baby's mouth, do not be surprised when I insist upon you purchasing said pillow. I go out of my way to be accepting of the fact that babies do baby things and you can't always stop that, but I draw the line when you conciously do something dumb that allows the baby to do the baby thing.

No love (even though your baby was cute),
Me

A week or three ago, I mentioned that I was happy, but could not say why. Here’s why.

Today I finalized the contract to make my second book with Dark Horse. It should come out this time next year.

In a way, I’m more thrilled about this book than the first one. If I only made one book I’d have always felt like it was a fluke. Now that they want a second, it’s at the very least twice the fluke.

This wouldn’t have happened if you all hadn’t been so supportive of the first book. I hope you know I appreciate it.
