okay so hi and CHRASTMOOSE!
13 years ago
Hey look it's been like two weeks since my last journal where I said I was going to open commissions after the weekend. Obviously that uh, didn't happen. :I
Christmas is currently kicking me in the butt and I'm not even really doing anything for it! I work in a supermarket (I'm a check-out chick. Isn't that interesting.) and let me just say that instead of news shows, like Today Tonight, putting on stories about 'Tips for shopping at Supermarkets over Christmas! Don't go in on these days, yadda yadda yadda', they should say "DON'T BE STUPID TO THE STAFF. DON'T BE A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR STAFF. DON'T COMPLAIN AND GIVE THE STAFF A HARD TIME BECAUSE YOU'RE GRUMPY BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU EVERYDAY. DON'T ORDER THE STAFF AROUND. DON'T PUT THROUGH $300 WORTH OF ITEMS AND THEN WHEN THE STAFF MEMBER HAS FINISHED SCANNING AND PACKING ALL OF IT SAY "by the way i only have $70 i might need to take something out".' And because it's Christmas and I don't go back to Tafe until February I have extra shifts too.
okay i think that will just about do it. Mouth shut. c:
Anywho! So yeah! I might not end up opening those commissions until next week sometime. This journal is basically just a note to say that I'M STILL ALIIIIIIIVE! (What a long note.)
I hope you're all having a dandy time organising, doing or thinking about Christmassie things and so forth and that your holidaying (If you are on a holiday of course. If not then um, hi how are you) is happy and joyful and that you don't have to listen to too many crappy Christmas Carols unless that's what you like to do and if it is then have a good time doing that (working at a supermarket pretty much means that I have to listen to both christmas carols and the supermarket jingle for 5 hours or more in a row, it's probably the most fun thing ever and I'm sure the customers love it too).
Wow, this has turned into multiple paragraphs of death! I love you if you've read this whole thing and you can have three hundred love hearts on your end of year report! Here you go! <3 <3 <3 x 100!!
MANY LOVES TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND I HOPE I TALK TO YOU SOON AND YES GOODBYE NOW!
MARRY CHRASTMOOSE!

people really place stuff for 300$ onmto the table and have only 70 in their wallets? I'd make sure they'd have to stand there for a very long time, pretending your cash system keeps shutting down on you! "Almost finished, almo---WAAAH, blue screen again! I'm, sorry, I have to start anew! now where were we..."
and make sure the other customers know whose fault it is, too. if your superior has a spine they'd stand behind you over it. nobody wants a customer that costs you money, and keeping the staff busy with placing stuff back into the shelves costs money. even more so if it was freshly packed for them...
don't think, "Aw, why do they have to be so mean to us?"
think instead, "If they treat us like shit it's probably because it's all the fun in life they have. Their live must be HELL." and then you start to smile... and your smile will further annoy them. with a little luck next thing you'll have to call emergency because they just dropped to the floor before you with a vein popped.
MEWY GIRAFFEMASS!!!
Well $300 may be a little bit of an exaggeration.. More like $150. But it's still a buttload of stuff to sort through after you finish! And haha, no way! I just try and go as fast as I can so they can just leave so I don't have to look at their face anymore! >u>
Haha, they would if they had a spare minute, our shop is crazy, especially around Christmas! It was really busy today, we had extra staff on and everything. ;~; But yeah, it just sucks because you still have to be nice to them and be all 'patient' and tell them that it's okay. 'Cause otherwise they'll put in a complaint against you. ugh
Hahaha, don't worry about smiling, I smile pretty much the whole time. c;
I basically just stand there thinking "Yanno lady/man that I don't know the name of and yet you know mine because of the name tag, you're really stoopid. TAKE THAT!"
KYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
if I ever witness something like that while I stand in line I'll make sure I'll give them a piece of my mind. because the mixture of being mean and mindlessly stepping on some helpless clerk can not be tolerated. have them complain about me instead! they wouldn't know what they'll have coming!
the world is going to hell. and the handbasket is leaking. XD
It's a hard situation though, because the lady that does it for the most part is in.. maybe her 60's? (I suck at judging age. So badly.) I think she's not.. completely right in the head. Not that much though. But enough. I can excuse her. But it's so hard not to snap and get really frustrated. :c
And then you get some customers who are just losers. but gah
HAHAHAHA, yes, to exact my revenge, unscrew the tops of all the bottles just slightly when they're not looking so that they look closed but they spill if you move them! BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAUHFUSDLFIHUGSD;IUS
one day I bought me a stack of chocolate (I can live without it, but you know how it is), and the cashier there was a pretty ...stout... lady. and she whinced seeing that pile o'calories... XD
Wow, really? I just get really really jealous when people bring lollies and chocolates and etc to my register. And then I see how cheap it is and then when I finish work I go and buy all of them... OTL
Sweet things are actually my weakness, I swear.
but.. but.. THEY'RE SO DELICIOUS!!
"THE HIIIILLS ARE ALIIIIIIVE WITH THE SCREAMS OF CIVILIAAAAANNNNSSSS~"
Ahhhhh, lyrics that can be easily changed. GOTTA LOVE 'EM~
Dingleber's, dingleber's, dingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride on a once-clean ashen tray-y!
Last christmas, you shaved me ym beard, and the very next day, you gave it away...
they made a survey among german car drivers (dunno why, someone must have had money to burn) and it turned out "Last Xmas" being the most hated song among those behind the wheel...
And wow, really? I could think of so many others that are waaay more annoying to listen to while driving. Though I guess it depends who is singing the song. 8I
Merry Christmas! <3
And haha, yeah, I mean we don't hear the "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" song that much. Mainly in movies. xD
MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH A HAPPY CAPSLOCK BOMB
Ooh, really! That sounds like an interesting job to have! Do you ever get to open a package like in border patrol and discover all the illegal drugs inside and be a hero? That'd be pretty awesome. If you do, I salute you.
Haha, I guess it'd be a bigger pain to package them and send them rather than just putting them through freight. How bad would it be if you had to do both! That'd be crazy talk. 8I
OOH YAY CAPSLOCK BOMBS, MY FAVOURITE~ <3 <3 <3
I can't tell much about our inner workings, but I can tell some stories. Like we once sent $3 million of cocaine to the UN. hehehe...
But ah yeah, sounds like a pretty simple job. Do you work long hours? o:
WOW, wouldn't it be amazing if you sent an empty parcel to someone and then when they got it they'd be all "WHUT, WATS HAPPENING? WHERE'S MY THINGS!" and then they would think that the contents were lost yet in fact there was nothing in there in the first place.. c:
Holy moly! Hahaha! That sounds exciting! Was it all dramatised and everything? C8
........
hahahahahahahaha
I can imagine them opening the package like "Hey look mail awesome let's have a- WAHT THE HECK! BILL! BILL HAVE YOU BEEN BUYING COCAINE ILLEGALLY AGAIN?!"
