Retrograde Cars and Holiday Retail Therapy! Yea Ha! They keep talking about recession but it sure it not happening at Charlottesville Sam's Club. Right now, I feel like I need to sleep for a week and it's two days to Black Friday when the Winter Holiday Season officially begins. So Monday - I left work late and had to be back at work early Tuesday Morning. I hate that. I spent Monday Niter doing Charts and getting a package ready to mail. I dropped the package at the post office Tuesday Morning and started the drive to Sam's Club. I was heading down the road and another motorist motioned for me to pull over. Yeah Sure! I pulled into the Wall-Mart Parking for some brief Retail Therapy Lot because I had about 30 minutes before Work Time. I headed back to the car. Lo and Behold, the front tire on the Passenger Side was getting flat. Oh Well, it's about time to replace those tires anyway. I know how to but I sure don't want to change that tire. So I drove across the road to Sam's Club's Tire and Battery Department. There was a considerable line with folks waiting to buy tires and 15 minutes before I'm suppose to clock in. You gotta love them cell phones. I got out the phone and called management. This is Bonnie. I am a cashier at Sam's Club. I am running a tad bit late because I have a flat tire that has to be taken care of. So now Delila the Dynasty has two brand new front tires. I will NOT be buying the GPSS Navigator that I was planning to buy on Black Friday. Life on Life's Terms. I was fifteen minutes late. "Dang, you got that tire taken care of fast," the supervisor commented. Groan Groan - One Hundred and Thirty Some Dollars for new tires. "I have to buy a new car, my supervisor commented. She totaled her car Friday Night. I wouldn't mind buying a new car but need a tad bit more $$$$$ in the bank before I do so. Right Now, I have enough to buy two new tires. Next payday, maybe two more. Life on Life's Terms. Folks were on a Turkey Buying Frenzy today. We were cashiering non-stop. "Hey Guys! After we get off these Cash REgisters - Do ya all wanna come over to my house for a Hot Tub Party." Techically, It's Mr; Joe's House and Mr Joe's Hot Tub. Minor Detail. I am sure he would just LOVE having a bunch of Cashiers spashing around in his hot tub. "Sure, I'll bring the Hootch!" the associate next to me commented. We are taught to always Check on BOB - Bottom of Cart - so I got on my knees to start scanning some beer. The Customer apoligized. My reply, "If I can get down and get back up at my age, I have a lot to be grateful for." "Indeed you are blessed." she commented. So................. It took me Twenty Minutes to count down the Cash Register at the end of my shift. $16969.46 with a .06 Cent Error in Sam's favor. I haven't quite acheived perfection YET! Sometimes my job frustrates the heck out of me. It's better than the alternative. There are folks out there who can't work. I have to be grateful because I can. Nevertheless........... I will sure be glad when the Holidays are over all ready and it's not even Black Friday Yet. Abracadabra  |
