Yes, amy, this is my first job
http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif . I mean, it's OK SOMETIMES - but sometimes I just want to tear my hair out. It's only my 2nd day and I'm soooooooooooo frickin tired from the job. I have to memorize all the types of food that they sell – and they ALL LOOK THE SAME TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve messed up so many times- I mean who really pays attention to a difference of 1.50 and 2.50 when the only diff (on the outside) is sprinkles???? (There is no barcode to scan, so basiclaly, I have to type in the price – have to memorize which is which, when pineapple bread looks the same to me as pineapple custard (no labels! ughh) – which costs more.) thank god i have the last shift so i don't have to do anything once i get home.
Some of the frickin customers don't help out either. I try to be as pleasant as I can, but some customers are so annoying that i want to string their neck (change their minds so many times and I have to void the sale). then they complain and complain if i'm bagging the goods for them (they're like "i'm in a hurry"!) - WHATEVER

Ah well, at least my apron is cute (haha), and at least SOME customers have the decency to reciprocate niceness. geez. unfortunately there's really nothing to like about this $hit of a job (pardon the profanity) - low pay, bitchy customers who don't understand that sometimes workers there don't know everything (one customer said to me, "JUST PRESS THE BUTTON!!!!" I wanted to throw something in her face. It's like, if you know so much, why don't YOU come and try to figure out what special code to type in, out of all those codes
!!).
This is a great way to practice my acting – hahaa. This is also a great way to practice my restraint

At leastt from now on I'll know to be really patient when buying things from other stores (though usually I am patient to begin with, now I’ll know to be extra patient)- i know what those employees have to go through!
