I survived another weekend at work!

I got to cashier all weekend. It made the days go by faster, doing something different. I don't think I've screwed anything up yet so that's good!

Friday night my assistant was a gal that use to be pretty darn lazy (I think she's all of 19 or 20). She started not long after me and getting her to do anything fast or completely was torture! She said she got in trouble (must have had a review) and that she's on probation during her probation so she's doing everything by the book. She totally kicked butt so that was a nice surprise. It was a good night.

Saturday my assistant was a gal that started working there before me (maybe by a month) and she was so perturbed that I got cashier training before she did. It didn't get any better as the day went along and the other 7 people that got cashier training with me were all on registers or talking about being on/getting on a register. But, that didn't stop her from trying to tell me how to cashier! SO annoying! I just ignored her and kept telling myself "she's only 23, she's only 23 - you were annoying when you were 23 too, she's only 23...." until she tried to count the money out of my drawer. Then I had to tell her to get her hands off, I was responsible for it so therefore I was the only one that would be touching it. If she had cashier training she would know that:)

Today was odd. I had three different assistants: The first one was on his second day of work. So, not only did I have to try to concentrate on what I was doing but I had to train him on what he was doing. After my first break I got paired with a second assistant who was on his first week there. After lunch I got paired with yet another guy that was on his second day as well. I'm not sure if they are just really that short handed or if they had enough confidence in me that I 'got' it and could handle it. Either way, I made it through the day - even got off 1/2 hour early!

I got to meet the service deli manager on Saturday. I was on a register so we didn't get to talk. I got to thinking about it on Friday and really hope that I'll be able to keep the same schedule - or close to it. Actually, I'm really hoping to be able to get an extra day off out of it but I won't hold my breath! I'm supposed to start back there on the 17th so I'll try to get with the manager to find out what my schedule is going to look like. Until then, I'm enjoying cashiering but still hate the rest of it: doing the cleaning at closing, folding clothes when we're slow (although that's when I get a chance to see the cute kids clothes...and if they have a size to fit both girls!) and actually, Johnny Q Public hasn't been that bad. I must be getting more tolerant in my old age! I'm hoping the deli is going to be as nice as I think it is. I guess if it's not I can always move back to the front end. Stay tuned!
