We have a day off today and it is gorgeous weather. I worked yesterday from 8 am until 1 pm and it still didn't turn into the mad crowds we've had other years. Someone from the Mac welcoming committee was in and said that this weekend is move in for 1st year students and then welcoming and orientation goes on this week. Then next week the other students start to arrive.
That means it will probably get busier over these next several days. That's fine by me. I would much rather be busy than not.
It is so cool having a job where, for the most part, you like who you work with: and one that also not only lets you be yourself but actually seems to enjoy it.
I think I would like some of the people I work with to realize that being a cashier is not JUST checking out groceries. You can at least, at the VERY least, think about the person coming to the register after you. You're standing around doing nothing, well how about cleaning the belt. People have to put food on there. It makes it look like you care if you keep your work station tidy. It also shows consideration for your fellow workers to just leave it nice for when they take over the next shift.
Also the job is more fun and rewarding if you treat the customers nicely. They are our bread and butter so to speak and as such deserve to at least be greeted nicely and talked to a little. Sure it becomes same old/same old for us but it is their first time in the store today so SMILE and be nice.
