I'll see what I can do
Well I have been promoted to supervisor, so I guess that's something.
I did 39.83 hours last week, how's that for a story?
Anyone know why my hourly rate went up from $16.10 to $16.95? (I'm 19 BTW) anyone else get a pay-rise?
First time I've earned more than $700
accept when Tone Abit taxes it.

Have contacted six of seven supervisors, all have said no. Will ask the last one tomorrow. After that, who knows? I think the service manager said if worst comes to worst she'll cover it for me, so at least I have that.
Ooh, is it still Thursday? Just remembered a story.
Ya'know how in express there's a little ledge for a customer to put their basket where they then unload it onto the register for you to scan? Well, sometimes some customers will bypass the ledge and just put the basket on the register, and make you do all the unloading. A quick "if you wouldn't mind putting your basket down on the ledge and passing them up that would be great" does the trick. Most of the time.
This middle-aged guy came in one day last week, marched up to my register and dumped his basket right in front of me. I looked at him and said "Hey would you mind popping this down there and passing your items up to me?"
He looked at me, then at his basket, then back to me. "You want me...to unload every single item???"
"Yes?"
*Inaudible grumbling as he complied*
I can't believe how thick and lazy some customers can be.

I would never tell someone that! I give them the cold shoulder though if they don't unload their basket. Especially if they have been waiting in a queue for a while, they easily had time to do it.
And far out, it gives me the shits when people do it with those wheely-baskets. Like FFS it's pretty inconsiderate.

We get quite a lot of kids hand in resumes at our service desk. They will sit on the desk for a while, and before you know it, 'Johnny Smith' is arriving for his first shift a few weeks later.
