10 Things I hate about Hannaford

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.

    I'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.

    Have 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?

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

Summertime is...over?!

Today is one of my last few days at my parents' house before I head back to BYU for my senior year.  The long road of college finally has a light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks reachable!  But this time next year, if all goes according to plan, I will be married and living in Brazil.  The last couple days have made me look back on my summer and think about all that has happened... So, this is going to be a long post, mostly because of pictures that are going to help me tell my summer 2013 story.  I came back to NH in April after winter semester ended, stayed for about a week and a half, and then I went to Brazil for 5 1/2 weeks.  And while I was there, some wonderful things happened..... Renato proposed to me at the Recife Temple the day I got to Brazil (the first time we'd seen each other in over 9 months), and I said yes!  So (finally) we are officially engaged and planning a wedding for July 22 2014, in Brazil! Our rings :) We ...

What do Mother Teresa and Martina McBride have in common?

Words of wisdom.  This is gonna be a long post, because of quoting a couple things... Mother Teresa of Calcutta said: "People are often unreasonable and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you.  Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous.  Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.  Do good. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.  Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway." Martina McBride sang: " You can spend your whole life buildin' Something from nothin One storm can come and blow it all away   Build it anyway You can chase a dream   That seems so out of reach And you know it might not ever come your way Dream it anyway God is great but sometimes life aint good And when I...
