4:20

420 is not a special holiday to me.
BUT
I did save 88% on my transaction today.
AND
some kid (high school or early 20s) came in and was buying the Funfetti cake mix. He was very friendly, and said
"Baking some 420 brownies."
"With cake?"
and I got the 6 cents for him because someone left their change. So he took his receipt and said he would give me a '10' for good customer service. And of course he wished me a happy 420.

We got out late because of one particular fuckhead employee. I was kinda salty.

Just Chillin'

Today was pretty chill. I finally finished mylar-ing the glasses display. I also puttered in the Hallmark aisle and left a note for the other H.L. (Hallmark Lady).

The crew was good, and we had fun. Chatted way too much, I'm sure. And I showed off some BABY pictures!

Also, I scored five "free" 2 liters.

And because of the rain I wore my golashes. Which are most likely not approved by the dress code, but I don't care because I have spent way too much time trying to locate our dress code on the company website and couldn't find it! Perhaps I am a dumb-dumb. Or perhaps it really is not there.

Big Savings!

On my first transaction, I saved 81%. And on my second I saved 80%. (Strike that. Reverse.)

First:

I got Crest Pro Health toothpaste, $2.99 ($1-off coupon)

Loaf of store brand bread, 99 cents ($1-off coupon)

Nivea lipcare, $1.99 ($1-off coupon)

with my discount I paid $2.54, and got a $2 coupon back.

Second:

2 bottles of Nivea bodywash, 2/$7 ($3-off-2 coupon)

2 kids toothbrushes, which were animal-shaped, $1.59 each on clearance ($2 coupon, from previous purchase.)

I paid $4.42

One of my coworkers said he hopes his future girlfriend and/or wife shops like me. "Some girls don't care", he says. He should be impressed. I'm flattered. 

I clocked out early and then realized I forgot to vacuum. So thanks to my coworker who did!

Early Out!

We got out early tonight, which I liked.

I was supposed to be in Hallmark, but ended up stocking candy and helping people face instead.

My right foot didn't hurt at all tonight. Neither did my left foot, incidentally. My feet hurt like how they do after an eight hour shift.

My first purchase was of:
two Mountain Dew Kickstarts (99 cents each) ($1 off two mnf coupon)
Dawn Olay dish soap (on sale for 99 cents, with a 25 cent coupon)
Dawn Apple Blossom dish soap (on sale for 99 cents, with a 50 cent coupon)
I paid $1.93 and saved %74

My second purchase:
two Pampers Dry diaper bags ($9.99, with a $1-off-two mnf coupon)
a 2L of Dr. Pepper Ten ("free" with a Catalina coupon)
25 ft package of store brand tin foil (99 cents with in-store coupon)
I also used a $4 off coupon.
I paid $16, and got a $1 coupon back, and saved %70.
I realized after the fact, though, that I need to bring the receipt back because my coworker didn't use the in-store coupon. I bet my savings will be under a $1, but obviously it is the principle of things.

My Right Foot

The pain in my right foot is incredible. My pinky toe and the toe beside it and the surrounding area hurts. Perhaps I have a bone loose or something. I think I will have to schedule a doctor's appointment, which means its' real bad because I hate going to the doctor.

Twice today I got mistaken for someone else. Not in a hilarious way though.

I came into work acting a fool in front of my two coworkers... probably because I didn't eat much today but I did drink a lot of coffee.

I wish people would stop with this no-call/no-show business. We were super-busy and understaffed, but no one was real difficult about it. Unlike the day shift.

Easy Breezy

Today was pretty good too. (knock on wood) Nights are not that bad, as it turns out.

While I was on the register I was trying to do my suggestive selling and I asked this guy who said
"No, those don't go well with scotch."
True fact, sir.

I rung up this guy who didn't look familiar to me at all, but towards the end of the transaction, he asked if I had to go to traffic school recently. I then realized he was in my traffic school class about three years ago! How he remembers me is a little freaky, but I did tell him about when I got pulled over on the way home from Tennesse. We had a good chuckle.

I'm Back!

Today was my first day back since January 14th. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. But my lower back hurts real bad. I am not as tired as I thought I would be, which is nice.

I have to pump during my lunch break, so I really have to organize myself well. And I have to remember that if I want to purchase anything, I must do it before midnight.

I will miss the former store manager though...
"I hate to tell you this, but..."
and his obsession with squirrels and calling the cops. And his freaking out in the office about how everyone is fucking nuts.

Change is hard.
