God I hate my job. *VENT*

General
God f*cking damn today. Okay, lemme start from the beginning.
For those who don't know, I've been working in a bottle redemption area that is in a convenience/liquor store. I work there on the weekends and it's not a bad job, it can just be a tad annoying. Today, was one of those days.
On Saturdays, that's our busiest day of the week and we have 3 people there in the bottle area from 10 to 2, and the rest of the day there's either 1 or 2 people on staff. One of our 3 people called out yesterday and I had to cover for them yesterday. They came in today when I was supposed to come in and open the area. HE WAS THERE FOR 15 MINUTES, GRABBED A THING OF LTD AND A 20 OUNCE SPRITE AND LEAVES. The morning until the other guy arrived was pretty tame, and picked up around 10:15 all the way to 12PM, I went and got lunch and my coworker was working on the tail end of a drop off - a drop off is when people leave there bottles and we count them when we have a moment to get them done - and that was pretty easy. Then, we get slammed from 12:50 onwards with people that have (and throughout the day) have had non-returnable bottles and cans. We can't count them to give them for money, so we recycle them. WE FILLED 15 BAGS - 10 GALLON BAGS - WITH NON-RETURNABLES. People kept coming in with them throughout the day and it my coworker was at his wits end cus he's had a bad week. The last customer we have starts arguing with him because we had a total of 5 Cents (USD) difference because he had 1 non returnable. Then, after they're done arguing, it was almost time for him to leave, when a lady who came with at least $80 USD worth of returnables pulls into the parking lot, he blows up at her AND the boss, and leaves. I get stuck dealing with customers non-stop until 3:45 when my night-shift helper showed up at 3, and we had finally finished our customers. I filled up the coolers and left, and I'm done bitching now. Please forgive this very long winded rant.

And there is no need for forgiveness. This is your page and you're entitled to vent and rage.
