First Officer's Log Star Date 316192.0
After Adam suggested that I post a blog of all my Save-On-Foods rants and raves, (mainly so I don't go and tell everyone the same story 10 times over) I finally founds some time to create one. You guys with your office jobs think that you have it tough? Let me tell you!!! Try working in a grocery store for 3 years then come tell me how tough you have it! Oh boy am I sick and tired of stupid people coming up to me and asking stupid questions! My friend Sam mentioned a story similar to this in his blog: I was at work walking towards the staff room and this guy stops me and say hi... Sounds normal, EXCEPT he kept staring at my shirt and uniform, shirt and uniform, he must have did this at least 4 times over, and then asks the most astute question of the century.... Ready? Brace yourselves! Here goes: "Do you work here?"!!!! DO I WORK HERE????? NO I DON'T WORK HERE, I JUST GET UP EVERY MORNING, PUT ON THIS UNIFORM AND NAME TAG, COME TO THIS STORE FOR 8 HOURS BECAUSE I THINK THE CLOTHES LOOK GOOD!! OF COURSE I WORK HERE YOU MORON!!!! We grocery store employees should have a right to slap these idiots silly, and the kick their rear ends all the way to tiananmen square!
Today I worked from 8am-7pm, and first thing this morning, some guy who always comes to our store at least 5- 6 times a day with bottle returns comes up to me and says "The cashier last night allowed me to return my milk container here... she gave me 5 cents a piece for them"... this is very odd because at Save-On we have BIG signs clearly stating that we do not accept and milk product container... we just simply don't have the facilities to process them, and on top of that, milk jugs don't even have a deposit on them, so why the hell do you think that you could get refund for it??!! So any ways, I point to the sign and tell him this and he says "We'll I don't care what your sign says, I was able to do it last night, so I want to do it now!" I told him no and he says "I want you to call upstairs to a manager and find out what he has to say." So I call Kevin and he says "Tell he we will be happy to throw them out for him, but we will not give him a refund for them", so I tell him that and he muttered something under his breath and walks away! First of all, this guy is in our store all the time returning bottles, he should know better!! Second of all, why the hell is Save-On doing bottle returns??? There is a perfectly fine bottle return depot just down the hill. Then from 8-12 today I had no help which is fine except.... It got extremely busy around 10:30, and I was running around like chicken with my head chopped off for every cashier, doing price checks, perishable put-backs, grabbing green baskets, it was non-stop. So anyhow, I was running to till 6 to grab a bin number for a cashier and some lady stops me and asks "Hey, are there any packers on today?" ... So I tell her yes.... And she says "Then why the hell am I packing my own groceries?" Talk to me like that some more lady and see how far it gets you! And beside you aren't even packing your own groceries, THE CASHIER WAS DOING IT FOR YOU!!!!! I'm glad the cashier on 6 found the number and didn't need me to run and get it because right after the lady said that, instead of packing for her, I made it deliberate to skip over her till and pack for the one infront of her.... Stupid people. I tell you Adam, I can't wait for your next trip to come visit, I could really use some good company and R&R. Maybe if it doesn't snow we can hit the golf course again? That would be pro.
I think that there should be a button we press at the till, and if some comes through and is a complete moron, we can push this button, and next time they come through the till we can say "Oh I'm sorry, your card has been marked, we don't serve morons at this store". That would really make my day. Anyhow, I'll leave with these thoughts to ponder, have a great night everyone, and I look forward to sharing many more rants and raves with you folks.
