Ugh, I don't know if anyone knows this commercial... where the girl from Sex and the City is singing... everytime I see it though I end up singing it all day. Oh well. Ugh today was a day in itself! I am a cashier at Walmart Supercenter and I had a HUGE jar of VINIGAR bust infront of me today and I have smelled and smelt like vinigar all day long. I told one of my supervisors that the man of my dreams was going come through my line today and I stunk, lol. Very stressful. On other notes I'm doing better with the ex thing.. I had the weekend off.. nothing to do but sit around and mope... now I work 9 days straight so I will definately have something to do. I have to be at work at 645am in the morning, ugh.. so I'm going to head towards bed. Also, there's this guy at Subway! I know, I definately don't need a guy... evil, terrible things.. but oh well, I'm glutton for punishment and theres nothing wrong with curling your hair extra nice for lunctime! Thanks for listening! ;) and remember, be nice to your cashier's or they might smush your banana's... not that I do that.. or anything. ;)

I used to be a cashier and a bagger, and I am so nit-picky about my bagging that I get my stuff on the belt as fast as I can and hop to the end to quickly bag everything so I can do it all myself. It's not hard really, cold (refrigerated and freezer items) goes together, don't put cleaning products with food, don't put cans with produce, all squishable stuff goes together (cookies and bread) and so on. Nobody else seems to get it so I'd just rather do it myself. If there is a bagger standing at the end of the line I'm stuck and just say to please put cold things together, and sometimes they get this confused look on their face! I put things on the belt in the order I want them bagged to try and make the process easier. If someone else bags I always end up having to tell them that two large bottles of juice and several cans is way too much for one bag. I know I don't look like I have arthritis, but sometimes they pack them so full a healthy person would have a hard time.

My bf will go to the grocery store and get one of those baskets and he'll put a water bottle on top of produce and it doesn't bother him one bit. It makes me nuts but when they aren't my groceries, I have to just bite my tongue!

Oh yes.... and I know that I'm too anal about these things, but hey.... I like things how I like them, and having my bread and bananas edible when I get home, I don't think, is too much to ask for.... and these things, you'd think, would be a part of training for those that work at the grocery store.

I hate to hear you guys have bad shopping experiences... to tell the truth I am a very good cashier when it comes to bagging, banana's and tomatoes, bread and eggs, five cans to a bag... no one really complains on me over the bagging. I once had a lady cuss me out while my manager was standing there because I wouldn't give her a case of soda for $2.50 because it was ringing up $3.50......... she made me cry, but I was so mad! Other then that the day goes by... beep, beep, thanks for shopping Walmart have a good day. Ugh. Die. haha. It gets OLD after a few hours but hey its a job. Today I got to go home at 2pm so I am super happy! The Subway guy wasn't there... and the other guy.. well here's the story.. This guy is very friendly and talkitive, he works at the Subway thats inside my Walmart.. well he came through my line once and I said, "How come you get to go home?" He said, "Because I'm married to the boss.." and laughed, well I laughed and said okay and left it at that. I figure he's married. Yesterday I was sitting in subway minding my own, heartbroken, SEMI SINGLE business... he comes waltzing over and sits down with me and asks me how old I am and is trying to find out if I live at home or if I have a man. It was very confusing but I never mentioned anything about if he was really married. Maybe he was asking for another guy........ or just making conversation.. but if he is married I wish he would stay away.. I don't want his wife trying to kick my butt all over Walmart. ;) Oh well. I'm just glad to be home, going to visit my grandmaw! Thanks for listening everyone and replying! :)
