Wow was I wrong!

I thought today would be a fairly slow day because its only the 2nd Sunday the store (valu foods) has been open.. Boy was I wrong.. we had customers coming into the store before we were even opened (they seen how we got in when we were coming in to get ready for the day) and we had line ups at the cash registers BEFORE the store opened.. and it was lined up ALL day long. at my till alone I averaged around $1100 in sales PER HOUR  so did the other cashier! that is crazy!that is like $2200 PER hour in sales!! We locked the doors at 5 and finally rang the last customer thru around 5:15 or so. None of us had time for a break or anything. I got home around quarter to 6.  Our boss was there today and he was bagging groceries for us.. he said that he was going to take us out for supper and drinks because of our hard work today :) We just have to let him know when we want to go.

When I took my cash drawer out after my shift to go to the office to count up everything,, once I stepped away from the till it was like my legs went to rubber..after hardly moving them for just over 5 hours they were dead asleep on me!  I think just about every muscle in my body is aching right now.

Tomorrow will be a lazy day I think.. I am planning on reading for the day if I can,, I want to get into the new book I bought “the Da vinci Code” . and that is ALL I plan on doing tomorrow. :)

another nice day

another beautiful day here, still a bit cool with the wind but overall a really nice day out there!

got a call from work changed my schedule around a little bit,, I’ll be going into work tomorrow and then I can have Monday off :)
so I thought what the heck that’ll work, I can’t imagine it will be very busy on Sunday as a lot of folks still are not aware yet that the store is opened on Sundays. So it will be a fairly easy day compared to what Monday would have been with it being the grand opening :)

Only this coming week left at the store and I’ll be going up to Sears .

Tonight I think I’ll settle in and watch a couple of movies :) Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

update:

I have miscommunicated to you,, on the stores, the Valu Food is the new store. I haven’t started at Sears yet I go there in another week or so (May 8th).

Just wanted to clear that up :)

have a great day everyone :)

going goin gone!

decided this evening I was going to go and get my hair cut, and boy did I !! I went short, very short, think Olivia Benson on Law & Order SVU. that’s the style I got.

I worked today in Grocery for the first time, unloading pallets and stocking shelves, I figure I got quite a work out today, loading boxes of product hauling it out to the floor and opening the boxes and stocking the shelves. Lots of heavy lifting but overall not a bad days work :)

I’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow for 4 hours then I go on cash for the last 4 hours.  Then I’m off for the weekend. Next week I end up working 4 days 2 short days and 2 full shifts. then I’ll be all done at the store, and I’ll be off to Sears for  the following week.

Watched Survivor this evening, for those of you following the show I thought Ceire did a GREAT job tonight she got the team to go with her and got rid of HER biggest threat and screwed over the 2 top dogs in the process :)   Both of them along with the one voted out were very shocked!

We are getting nice weather again,, the wind is a bit cool but very nice days summer is definately on its way!

most of my Hosta’s are up and a couple are starting to open up already!
