What a miserable bunch of people who live in my town. The last few days they've been unbearable.
My grandparents were telling me the other day that a car was blocking an entrance, the woman honked her horn, the bloke got out and yelled and swore etc, got back in his car and sat there. The woman who had been moaned at got out of her car and told him that she never wanted to ehar language like that again.
Also, during their trip to morrisons, some woman moved in front of the path of my nan's trolley, causing a small bump -t o which the woman had a right go at her - even though my nan offered an apology.
Which actually brings me back to today. What a miserable moron my manager was today. Not only did he moan and cuss about everything my deputy manager and I did, he decided to leave the shop floor and mope about in the upstairs stockroom.
Long shot of this bit is somebody made a mistake in their shopping choosing and decided to take it out on me - it does get complicated. Joe Public were in a rotten-easter-egg of a mood. Someone brought up Brian Lara Cricket and Virtua Tennis 3 for the 360 (each costing £39.99, with the Virtua Tennis on a deal of Buy One Get One Half Price). He was mortified to ind the total he had to pay was £79.98 (As Brian Lara wasn't on the deal). Hmmm... He launched into whole load of "I'm reportig you to trading standards" etc. etc. rant. The thing is, Virtua Tennis was actually marked up on the deal, Brian Lara wasn't (the sticker on VT did say "Stickered Items Only". He said I was obliged to sell it under the offer - because he mistook it. After sorting out that he wasin the wrong, he had a go at me telling me how the service of the website was [expletives removed]. Then demanded I give him some freebies. I gave him the freebie knowledge of where the exit was.
And then this woman turned me into some trained monkey of a sales assistant. I want this game (Nintendogs Chihuahua version) new, not second hand. Then she made me go and find a new one on the shop floor (by this time packed with an army of hooded chavs). Then she moaned because I was taking so long (try finding a needle in haystack when the shop is filled with little brats who think it's ok to muck up the shop. Then she demanded discount on the game because I took so long.
Generally, this is the thing that happens once in a blue moon. Anmd to think Jesus died on Good Friday to wash away our sins and make the world a better place. Thank the Lord he came back on the Sunday - probably knew it takes more than dying for someone to make them happy.
Well, although I sounded miserable, I'm quite happy. Easter Day off, plus I have Guitar Hero II for my 360, a huge pay packet coming my way for the PS3 launch and several things planned for the weekend.
HAppy easter Everyone and unload any Easter problems in this thread :D

Work would be alot more fun without managers.
Though god help the general public if our manager does actually become a cop like she says she will. She's already got the self important, power tripping nazi-esque tactics down very well

Pretty fun night at the PS3 launch. We all went out for a curry and a few drinks, tanked up on the spar equivalent of Red Bull, before heading to work at 10pm for the midnight launch. Finished at 2.30am, home at 3am, back to work for 6.30am for a 7 hour shift.
What wrecked it was out regional manager visiting our store :S

Everyone was pretty happy at work last night when 4 containers of work turned up with 30 minutes left and the manager had to rush around trying to get empty containers to tip the work into and sort it. She was going round asking if someone could help her and we all said nope. Me and my mate had a good chuckle watching her struggle.
Well, I wasn't with her - but I definitly would have had something to say.
Not sure if it's working with the public or not, but confrontations are becoming a little more fun. I wish I knew who it was :D

God, is there a reason you British have so many impractical, spoiled people over there.
Your nan had a small collision with someone else and she gave out? YOUR NAN?
If someone did that to mine he/she'd have 37 grandchildren on there backs.
Crazy British.

I get on with my deputy manager like a brother now (despite when he started he nearly was responsible for me walking out). The mangaer we have now is just a miserable git.
I know I shouldn't say this, but we all had a giggle when he was assulted at another branch of our store. Only, it's not good a customer did it as no-one deserves that. We'd assumed it was a work colleague :D

I had a good day today, overtime was pretty easy apart from the morons constantly sortings things wrong which meant i had to keep taking the stuff back and giving it to them to get it wrong again.
However i was chatting to my favourite manager today and planted some seeds for a move over to her area to get away from the lesbian militant b***h one i have currently.
*So what area are you managing on at the moment*
I'm on the flats at the moment
*Isn't that the same as letters?*
Yup pretty much
*You know i've been trained on the letters don't you*
Really?
*Well if you've got any spaces up there, i'm trained for it*
Ok, i'll look into it
Cue smiling and a little wink of appreciation for getting to screw over the other manager who we both hate. I hope i do get switched over there as the manager is already p****d at losing my mate to another area so if i go also that's another one she's lost and she's already pretty short staffed as everyone keeps leaving her area. I'll have fun on the day i get switched saying my good byes to her :-D
