What a day...
Ok, so since no one else really cares about what a bad day i've had I will write it down here. Everyone wants to tell me about their days and how bad they are and all that but when I have a bad day everyone is too busy to listen...whatever...see if I listen next time.
It started out good. Today was the last class for my Accounting course this semester. WOO HOO!! Now I just have to study for the final on the 22nd. Booo...
After class I went to work, just like always. Everyone at work was in a bad mood. It was only 10am and everyone was already in a bad mood. Go figure. Paulette was spazing because she had a "premonition" that we were gonna get our CER (company inspection) today. I told her that I was making sure everything had times and stuff on it just in case. She had me count my drawer. I got out to the front line at 10:30 on the dot and there were already people banging on the doors to get their food. It's a thursday in the middle of the month for God's sake. Where do these people get their money from? That's when all hell broke loose. Paulette had elected to put the three most experienced people on register today. Why she did that I'll never know. It pissed me off to no end though. I was on register up front with Sue and Nikki was on Drive Thru's register. Araina, the dumb, cocky, pain in the butt, was packing drive thru with Missy (poor Missy). Well, well, well, what do ya know. 11:30 comes around and Peter comes running in from the lobby yelling "CODE PINK, CODE PINK" (code pink = CER) Paulette should become a phycic or something.
Everyone was running around like chickens with their head cut off...no pun intended. I looked at Sue and said "well since we were assigned to register we should just do that and not worry about anything else. See if Paulette will figure out that we shouldn't be on register" She laughed and continued to pack anyway. We didn't have a whole lot of choice considering the fact that it was only Angela, the new hire, packing on the front line.
Well the CER continued and at the end Araina got recognized for being so fast at drive thru. "there was smoking coming from" her heels as the lady put it. Give me a Freaking gun. It went straight to her head and she came up front in the middle of a rush and told me what to do. That was the end. I looked her square in the eye after she told Angela that she couldn't pack and said "DO NOT GET COCKY" and I repeated myself just in case she didn't get it the first 5 times. So what did she do? She got cocky. I was beyond pissed. My mood took pissed to a whole new level.
But when I told Paulette that she was getting cocky and telling me what to do, do you know what she said???? "oh well Terri (the CER lady) thought she was good so we have to be nice to her." I wanted to hit someone so bad. I'm not a violent person by any stretch of the imagination (just don't ask Ronnie or Sherri haha) but I wanted to hit someone HARD. Then Ann Marie wanted to start with me. That was it. I went off. I couldn't take it anymore. I told Sue that one of these days I was just going to go ballistic and tell everyone in the entire store off and walk out the door. Today was ALMOST that day.
But no one wanted to hear about it so whatever. I'll remember to return the favor.
