Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order...
1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags.
2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?!
3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us!
4. people who smell bad. nuff said.
5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick.
6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah.
7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom of the cereal box- it's probably cheaper anyway. but really. Like I would know where anything obscure is...what the heck is arrowroot, anyway?! arrows don't have roots!
8. when customers get to the register and then realize they've forgotten 95% of the things they need, but they just leave all their crap there and expect you to wait. Hence why my RPMs are so low.
9. 22 items in an express lane? REALLY?!?!?
10. working nights.
so with the exception of #s 6 and 10, I guess I coulda made this "10 things I hate about Hannaford customers". oh well. anyway, long day at the office. but it's all good. I got my favorite bagger for a little while after my break, and that made the rest of the shift so much better. :)
Well I happen to know what arrowroot is lol!! You would find it in the baking aisle :) It does the same thing as cornstarch except it stays clear. And now you know.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually going to Hannaford today around 11, so I'll look to see if you're working, and if you are I'll make sure to go to your register with a big stack of frozen pizzas. And I'll expect them to be bagged. Individually.
Corn flake crumbs are sometimes used to coat fried foods. Hence they are usually found with the Shake N Bake, bread crumbs, etc. They're supposed to stay crunchier than bread crumbs. Never used them.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day at work and may Dillon be your bagger. ;-)
I hated working at hannaford bakery. The super was a goddamn bitch and there was too much inventory to make and put out. I could not churn out that much crap(people really need that much variety? No way!) So i left today. Will never be able to keep up so why try?
