Working Saturdays

You know it is busy when customers are parking in the far away spots where the employees park. After working 5 hours, I start grabbing nearby items to hold back for myself the last half hour (of course not when customers or manager are around). SO clock out and try on 4 bathing suits (2 suits in 2 sizes). I'm fat and had to go up a size. I'm depressed now.



Go to the check out where my items are hanging and try on a dress. A little big, but store doesn't have smaller sizes. It will do. Get in line and the cashier has an argument with her customer. Wait patiently since all my items are at her register. Then dispute is settled and cashier asks me to stand aside b/c the customer behind me has been waiting a long time. Excuse me?



Oh no, I don't mind waiting some more, I'm in no hurry go home. Wait patiently again. Another cashier steps away from her register to rearrange the shopping carts and then helps a customer. I continue to wait and finally get checked out. Cashier is uneasy checking out a friend. What? We are coworkers who never speak to each other outside working together, How are we friends? She thanks me for being so patient. Yeah sure, I took time after work to try on 4 bathing suits, I'm not eager to go home. Then off to home to love the cats.
