Oh gawd. You are going to hate me.

I also work retail. I cover jewelry, purses, watches, wallets, womens' 'foundations' {i.e. bras, panties, girdles, hosiery}, pj's and maternity. This place always gets thrashed...so much worse over the days leading up to the holidays.

Well...management always understaffs. But, this time I think I am a scapegoat. I put in for time off to be home with my son in August. She approved it but then hemmed and hawed. In the end, it was approved. Well, she didn't inform the person who makes the schedule so I have been on the schedule but not there. No one has been. There are others who work it and, luckily for them, they are getting extra hours. {my friend and she wanted the extra hours}.

That all said. Man. I so do not envy you. But, I give you a big pat on the back {and a couple of Excedrin, too!} for the patience you had with her!! Oh my gawd! And she wanted your help in toys, too? Can't people shop on their own? Ugh, and if your store is like mine, we have to help them.

I have to say also you had a lot of patience in not going off on her about the call on Monday and it being Wednesday. I give the 'guests' a ration of it when they try to say they got something on a shelf that was marked something else. I tell them 'Hey, people put things down all of the time. This obviously isn't that item'.

What is wrong with people when they go shopping? This priveledged attitude comes around here and they want to be compensated and they have so many rights.

Poopie on them.

I hope you feel better now. Play some Suduko on line. It will help. I do it.
