I had the best and worst day of work today. Do you know those days where everything is going absolutely perfect and then something has to come right along and smack you in the face till your back in the dumps again? That was my day today. Had a GREAT morning with my mom and brother at Golden Griddle for brunch. Then, went to work where I had an equally great time. I used to enjoy just waiting for customers to come check-out, but then sometimes I get really bored of just doing that, so when the girls give me baskets to fold, I'm much more happy. So, today, we were pretty busy so I had clothes getting dumped on the counter for me (yay!) and a bunch of other mini-stuff to do. During hours that were slow, I would chat with the clubs guys. Sometimes, guys are just the best with conversation. Sometimes. And today, 2 guys were working that are absolutely hilarious but most of all they're just all around FUN to talk to. It was an awesome time. We closed on time, we were all just chatting at the end of the shift, and now that I've been working there for a while, I never have to ask the managers to do stuff for me, so...it was just great, that's all I have to say. Then, we closed.



In a nutshell: one guy who came in gave me a counterfeit dollar. But that's not even why I'm upset because everyone makes mistakes like that. It was wrong of me to take it, but still, it could happen to anybody. I'll know better next time. What upset me was that we were short. We were short of a lot more than usual...and what upsets me is that it ALWAYS seems to happen when I'm working! I know it could've been on the person on cash before me...or a mistake with the cash float...or something out of my hands...but I'm just...words cannot describe how upset I am. I'm honestly...urgh...I'm honestly the most honest person you'll meet! People make me banker when we play Monopoly because I'm so honest that I'll never steal money for myself! AND ITS A GAME! Why out of all days...did we have to be short today. There were no big purchases so there's no way I could've given someone that much wrong change. It makes me upset...it looks horrible on me...and I'm mostly upset because I don't want my managers to think of me like a screw-up or a crook.

I mean...one time last month, we found some clothing that was on the floor at our store and it wasn't sold at our store, so we tried to figure out who returned it. I denied it because I don't usually see that brand anyway, so why would I return it? It wasn't me...but my name was in and around the same area since I was on the other cash. But honestly...my name...again?!?

I had to return the open item. MY NAME was around the wrongly returned item. I CLOSED CASH when we were short. Me. ME. ME!!

Goddamn, can't I get a break???

If it wasn't for one of the managers today, I think I would've broken down. He knows the exact thing to say at the exact moment. But most of all...he believes in me.

Blah.
