The Retail World, Holiday Season and Black Friday............... The Sams's Club Holiday Season unofficially begins the Day after Halloween. The Pumpkins and Witches go away. Live Christmas Trees and Santa goes on Display. The Holiday Season Offically Starts the day after Thanksgiving aka BLACK FRIDAY. Economic Woes don't seem to be stopping the Holiday Buying Frenzy at Sam's Club. Yesterday, I rang up almost $18,000 worth of sales. I've seen monies amounting to my entire paycheck and beyond on one sale. and the Sam's Club Bosses want us to be able to count down the Cash Registers in Fifteen Minutes or less. They don't want to pay us overtime. Yeah Sure! Money is STILL not my comfort zone. I like to double check what I count especially when I am counting several thousand dollars worth of cash. Novemeber 27th is my younger 's birthday. It is also my Sobriety Date. I am scheduled to speak for my Home Group in West Virginia on the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday. I requested that day off. The Sam's Club Bosses said, "No and No Firetrucking Way, am I getting Black Friday off." Life on Life's Terms. I'll have to reschedule "Me at the Speaker Meeting." Yee Ha! Sam's will have to pay me Holiday Pay. That will be my X-Mas Shopping Money and a nice Birthday gift for my youngest . So Yesterday - I was scheduled to clock out at 6:15. I closed the register at 6:11 - I went to the back room - lo and behold the counting machine was malfunctioning. It was working but there was no printout for double checking. Indeed, I did double count all that Cash. Happily, I got it right in the machine the first time. I hope Sam's don't cry too much. It took 20 minutes to count several thousand dollars worth of Cash and add in the other types of sales, (Charges, Debits, Checks, Gift Card Redemptions, Third Party pharmacy Sales, Ad Infintim) AND I was only 14 Cents off.   Abracadabra  |

Hi Star, thats a lot of money counting and theres supposed to be a recession. i think people seem to think someone will get us out of this one too. Congrats on your sobriety date, mine is 26th Dec. You can always speak at another one, or maybe there will be devine intervention for you! Hugs.
