Saturday Quiet

Rather quiet at the store today. We had lots of cashiers today (3 to 4) but not very busy. More of what I call fits and starts.

Nobody, then a rush of big lineups. Then no-one, so you get time to clean the belt or tidy up or refresh the bags. Then a crowd again. Makes the day interesting. I find when it is steadily busy that the time sometimes go very slowly. I think because, especially on express, there are so many customers that you think the time should have flown. But actually you really only spend maybe a minute or two with each one, so even though its lots of people, its not very much time.

A few more of the idiots that stand there watching you put the groceries in the bag, then stand at the end taking them all out again and packing it into their own bag or back pack. The very same backpack that you just asked them about as in: "are the groceries going in the back pack?"

I heard that Yappy Girl got into it with Head cashier about the change issue. She wants to know why no one ever talks about the good things she does. Still waiting to find out what those are.

Actually, the fronting of shelves (that's the process where items are brought to the front of the shelf so there are no gaps or spaces showing) is very important and she does that well. But she doesn't seem to realize about being courteous to the next cashier after her. She just doesn't get it.

Should I try to explain it to her? Or would she just get super defensive again? Maybe the proper way to handle it is to tell her what it feels like and see if she can't grasp the concept of thinking of others.

She told someone the other day that she graduated university with honours. HONOURS!! That's pretty impressive. Seems that she has the smarts but maybe no common sense.

Anyway, enough on that.

Selfish-lady was in today with the little monsters. This was the first time that they were in the buggy, and the boy was not screaming. Also no grubby little fingers all over the debit machine key pad. Almost did a double take because they were so quiet.

Time for bed. I'll write more tomorrow.
