Nightmare in retail store

hey there. Thought things couldn't get worse. They did. They transferred my part-timer to Ladies shoes. They have 8 people in that section besides him. So I am all alone in my section, which means every time I take a break someone has to cover my ass. And they always leave a mess for me to clean up (sorry they put things back wrong so I actually prefer this) when I come back. Every Saturday and Sunday I have to call a manager for coverage cuz everyone I ask says they're too busy. Except today cuz I have it off. I'm sure my section will be a pig sty when I show up tomorrow. My manager better not be getting mad over the disarray of my section (she did this after I had 2 days off) cuz I'm the full timer and I am in charge of all this so just do my job like I'm suppose to. Excuse me, I can only do so much and watch the sales floor. Anytime I have a backroom project clothes people keep coming back yelling I have a customer (I don't have monitors in the backroom). I keep checking the local paper online ads and posted my resume there. I get insurance companies and 1 furniture store reply to my posting. Furniture store guy called once and I called back, then I had to work all day 4 days in a row so didn't have a chance to keep trying to catch him at the store. It's ok, I got the impression it was 100% commission and no hourly wage.

Even better. PAY ATTENTION LADIES!!! On a break I heard from the purse specialist that a frequent customer was writing out her check and a young gal stood next to her, fiddled with a purse that was behind the register blocking this coworker's view so she thought she was getting ready to pay for something. Then the young gal yelled while pointing at the wall, How much is that! (purse displayed on wall shelf) and then shouted behind her to her friend to leave now. Coworker brushes off rude interrupting gal and asks for ID for the check. Her wallet is gone. Takes her purse out to her car to look for it. Calls home from her cell that was in her coat pocket. Wallet is nowhere to be found. I ask how long did it take this woman to realize that gal at the register stole her wallet. Not long, she says. She went through her whole purse to see if anything else was stolen. Good thing she had to look for ID or she might not have realized that it was stolen and not lost. Guard your purses ladies cuz people will steal from it when you are standing right there not paying attention.

Weather is warming up so I guess this means I better get my backroom projects done this week. Spent Sunday morning watching a cute cartoon about how cell phones are so distracting. Will visit Dad in the hospital today. I get to pay less rent this month since I won 3rd place in last month's light and display contest. But they doubled the pet fee so it doesn't mean much. Cats are good. Frodo jumps around everywhere like a maniac trying to get Precious to play. Well better go. Later.
