OMG our liquor manager is actually screwed in the head.
Sunday, there is one person in there from 12-5 and noone to do her lunchbreak (she actually works 11-5.30, and the afternoon SSA does the morning shift in liquor, so I have to do it and then leave front end short).
Today, Monday, there are TWO people in there from 4 til close (8pm). I did not serve anyone after 5.40.

I quite like liquor, nice and cruisy, just noone ask me anything, okay

EDIT: thats awesome shinji, a 'real job' I presume?

I really should have been sent home too!

My list for the night was serve/routine/fill smokes/clean/spot tills. As I said, did not serve anyone past 5.40, had all the liquor tills spot checked well before close, filled liquor smokes to the brim so they shouldn't have to get any more for the rest of the week, had the whole store routined in about 20 minutes, and cleaning, well, that consisted of emptying the bin apparantly. I did front end reports in that time, took a far too long tea break, called the front end sup for a chat for about 10 minutes, did a produce ID test, and stood around rather awkwardly.
Was great.

lol sounds like my day... I wasnt supposed to be working but the 2IC called me up bout 11.30 saying she was absolutely desperate and could I start ASAP.

Got there about 12.00 did a couple of tea breaks, dealt with a First Aid emergency, changed some prices in smokeshop, supervised front end and generally did very little in the way of actually serving. (i was expecting to be stuck on mains all day in a severly understaffed front end) In fairness she was totally by herself (no CSM/SSM) so she was quite reliant on me. Was a really great day. The 2IC is so awesome. Probably one of the best days ive had at work in a long time

lol our store was SOOOOO busy last night. freakin ridiculous! we have dm on smokeshop and csm serving with sm taking over for a while whenever csm had something to deal with. we had operators running to the service desk to get their own bags because everyone was serving and dm has no clue and was flat out on smokeshop. csm was like holy fuck. and it didnt really slow down too much. so many rushes.

 

[shinji]

Yes Indeedy. lol. Will be working 6/7days a week for a few weeks before my resignation comes into effect.

My last day working is on the 1st of August. I begin my new job on Monday. Hooray for working 2 jobs >D.
I'm working for an accounting firm called Chan & Naylor - mid-tier firm. Directly assisting the director with research, accounts, producing reports, etc.
So it'll be interesting and a change of pace

We had our busy moments last night, but we got fairly quiet fast. around 4:30-5ish we had the groceries manager on express and groceries 2IC on smokeshop, and our night supervisor on main and day supervisor on express. But we quietened down a whole lot and quickly, but my shift was a good bludge, Was helpful having both the grocery boys near my register, instead of using the PA just called out to them :burn: PIP

I was going so well as well - for my first day - until about 5 minutes before I was due to finish, I cut my left palm (with a pair of freaking scissors no less), and my SM had to take me for a drive (about 20 minutes away) to an after-hours doctor, and I now have 3 stitches in my hand.
