Sorry I haven't updated in a couple of days, everything just got so busy! The end of my high school career is coming up, so I have to finish a few things and get the rest sorted out by the 31st.
So first, some good news. I've gotten the results from my Math Placement test, and I actually placed high enough for college math! And if that wasn't surprising enough, I actually tested high enough for a class that will satisfy my math requirements for a non math related degree! I don't think my degree is exactly math related... but i'll find out soon enough.
Now, before I explain the best ways to piss off your courtesy clerk, I'll explain why exactly I know this. So, as one of my two jobs, I work at a grocery store. I am the person who bags your food and cleans the spills. I smile at your annoying screaming siblings and children, all the while rushing back to the farthest corners of the store to grab the one thing that you forgot. Yes, I am the social servant titled with courtesy clerk. And there are so many things that piss me off. So, I've made a list of them for you!
How to piss off your courtesy clerk!
- Ask us to bag your groceries in paper and then put the paper bags into plastic bags, we absolutely LOVE that
- Please use those obnoxiously large children carts, even though you know your children will just crawl all over them and grab shit whilst you are not looking. And they totally fit through the check stands!
- In the cart stalls, outside by the cars, we love it when there are big carts completely tangled in with their smaller annoying counter parts.
- In general, we love those small carts! Those shin biters are perfect especially when you fit $200 dollars worth of food in there and than expect me to do it again
- Please be angry with us when you rush in on a holiday and you're very surprised to realize that we don't have what you and dozens of other people need right this moment. Because you, and dozens of other people didn't prepare before hand. Remember, we are away from our family and there for you.
- We love hearing that we don't know our store and need to get better at our job because you went down the isle even when we told you we didn't think it was down said isle and gave another option.
- When you glare at us while we bag and growl that we shouldn't bag that way, we get special fuzzy feelings in our tummies
- I love doing carry outs for people who have been rude and doing everything else in the above list
Those are just a few things that I can think of right now, and I'm sure I'll add more later. But honestly, we understand that you are busy or rushed or just pissed off, but half the time, so are we. So, be generally nice to me, and you'll have wonderfully bagged groceries. Be an asshole, and it's more likely you'll have crushed bread.
In other news! I have just watched the Season finale for Doctor Who and all I have to say is, AGH!!!!!!!!! Just so much... i can't even.... bleh!!! Haha, I will discuss it in my next post, but I would love to hear any opinions or questions the rest of you have if you watch the show or just like Doctor Who in general.
