I had a seriously annoying day today.
I walk in, and manage to hide in the stock room for 30 minutes. (I find that if I start on my work right away >.>; the day drags, I like to waste time in the stock room first, otherwise I finish an hour early and have nothing to do.)
My manager finds me...Tells me that there's a trolly of bath stuff to go out, it was already waiting for me in the aisle.
Fair enough, no problems there.
And then she tells me that after that, I need to do some drinks.
In my job, "doing drinks" means, putting out all the soft drinks that are lacking or just not there at all o.o
So I was fine with that, too...Since it's a hard job, I knew that it would take me the rest of the day to finish.
I decide to do drinks for an hour or two and then put the bath stuff out.
So, I'm scanning the barcodes for what we need with my lil Pocket PC (PPC) and a few people completely stand in my way, fully aware that I am there.
Fine, got over that.
Then some woman asks me for advice on tights (Stockings for you guys...I think...)
So I tell her that there's no real advice I can give.
So she asks me the difference between two different types (All of them are made by our company >.>)
so I say "There's no different between them, they're the same size and color."
So she gets a little mad and asks which one is best.
(They were in slightly different packaging...But I didn't notice.)
So I thought I'd pretend to be interested and just picked a random one.
And then she's all "I thought you'd say that! They're the most expensive! You just want my money~"
So I'm like "Sorry..." and walk away <.<;
Then, I go an fill up this trolly with drinks.
Now, we all know how heavy liquids can be...This was no tea party.
Steering that trolly was a nightmare, not to mention the store is slanted a little...So it always slides away from me -.-;
On my way to the fridges, which is quite a way from the stock area...I have to go around these aisles...Customers didn't care.
They stood there, looking at me...Like I'm just going to vanish in an instant.
I say "Excuse me, please." and they all scoff at me...And move in a huff.
Then some guy comes out of nowhere...He was running...And I was going VERY slow...But still, I got the "Hey! Watchit!" treatment.
All I can do is "Sorry sir..."
So then, I'm putting the drinks out and a few people ask me some questions.
I'm always happy to help (It may be my job, but helping customers feels good when they're not miserable.)
And then someone shoves me out of the way to get a drink they want.
I've got a box...That weighs 12 Litres...12 bottles inside.
Not only do I drop it, but I stupidly try to catch it...That really hurt.
After all that, I go upstairs to get more drinks...there was only one box of something I wanted.
Right at the back of the shelf. These' shelves are deep...I had to crawl into the actual shelf to get it o.o;
The wood was loose, so I ended up putting too much weight my way...The box slides towards me, I hold out my hand to grab it...And the next thing I know, my wrist is jammed between a metal pole and a really heavy box!
Owwies T_T My wrist is still sore now.
But after all that...I got some fun.
My manager told me to tidy up the shelves downstairs >.>
I couldn't be bothered...So when she left...I went into the stock room and put some left over stock away.
We have these kool crates that fold over flat, and you put them on these lil things with wheels.
I was sliding around the stock room on them for about 20 minutes.
<.<
And then the door goes...And in comes my manager with the store manager. (Odd, since I was sure she left.) I managed to hide between some shelves.
^-^; It was funny, as well as scary...I'd have to explain myself for being in the stock room when I was meant to be down stairs.
I was ducking and crawling...Just following their voices o.o so I wouldn't get caught.
Luckily, I didn't ^-^; It was fun, though.
