Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Hello all!So today at work (I work at a certain hawaiian themed yuppie grocery store) I:- Well first off I bike commuted cuz damn gas is expensive.- Waited on some crazy-ass customers (i.e. I'm going on a cleanse diet and need the darkest grade of amber maple syrup you have. Why isn't grade B syrup labeled as amber? It's darker! Tell me now! How many calories are in this wine cuz I've been gaining weight lately? - could it be the cookies in your cart? Oh and the hippie ex-philosophy professor who argues with you if you tell him to "have a nice day" is always great. "What if I wanna have a connected day, maaan?).- Broke myself unloading pallets of product. - Peeped a RIDICULOUS amount of hot women in workout gear. Thank you frozen aisle and spandex pants. - Made a Grandizer inspired robot suit out of nothing but empty egg boxes.- Walked around the store in said robot suit during store hours.- Peed in the bathroom sink (oh, you've done it too) because dammit it was quittin time and I wanted to get home!- Thought obsessively about hookah smoking. So what did YOU do? Edited July 15, 2008 by giant ninja robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I work the front desk at one of the dorms at my school for conferences that rent the dorms out. Almost like a hotel if anything.

garykainz Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I made a ton of food for lazy proto-heath nuts (people think that Panera is healthy, but let me tell you now, IT'S NOT! Its so bad. Worse than like, Taco Bell). Cleaned a bunch of shit, then proceeded to make more fucking food for the 10 people who came in 5 MINUTES BEFORE WE CLOSED! Fuckers.

Fuckers.how the heck is panera worse than tacobell calorie-wise, panera is horrible. everything is super high up. for example, a bowl of soup, you wouldn't think it'd be that much, but the only thing under 100 calories is the french onion, and only if you leave off the good stuff (croutons and parmesean cheese). the real clincher is the italian combo sandwich. 1100 CALORIES! that's like a chipotle burritoas for comparing it to taco bell, there's a book out called "Eat This Not That" which is like a health-nut's guide to eating out. It rates them on a letter grade scale; Taco Bell and McDonalds got an A- and a B-, respectively, and Panera got a D- Edited July 15, 2008 by garykainz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was off today so I was a lazy bum and sat around smoking all day and sleeping. Tommorrow though it's back to the grind, although taking care of a bunch of reptiles for a large theme park is hardly work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willbb123 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I work behind the customer service counter at a crappy Hy-Vee grocery store. Nothing out of the ordinary today but I've been here 4 years so it has to be something crazy for me to consider it out of the ordinary.A few days ago I had to call an ambulance for an old lady that passed out in the entrance to the store. That was kinda fun. Yesterday we had a lot of storms and our power went out for a couple of seconds.Our paychecks are bi-weekly and today was a payday so every one came over to get there checks. There were a few new people that had never cashed there checks before so I had to explain how to open the check and where they have to sign. They left the stub and of course I had to look at how much they were being paid. Someone who had started about two to three weeks ago is making about 50 cents less then what I am making after being here for 4 years. This really pissed me off. I put my two week notice in about a week ago and my last day is Wednesday. I think I have gotten a job at the local Menard's that starts at $8.50 and then on the weekend they pay $1.50 more. I was starting to regret quitting this job, but now that I've seen how shitty I'm paid here I can't wait to work there.A few days ago one of my manager literally begged me to take back my two week notice. I don't mean to brag but I could easily be the Customer Service Manager or an Asst. Manager in the store. I did all the ordering for Photo supplies, because the Customer Service manager sucks and doesn't give a shit about anything and would just let shit run out so we wouldn't be able to print photos for customers. My first 2.5 years I worked grocery and basically did everything an Asst. manager did except count the registers. When the Asst. Manager went on break I'd be upfront doing their job. This was an awesome job because I when it was not busy I would sit on the computer and be on H-F. But I've decided that I am not paid enough to put up with all the shit that I used to. Now I get to go do a job that I would enjoy doing and start out getting paid more there then what I ever got here.//rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
