I get a pay check every week and I hadn’t picked them up for
three weeks. Lets just say, when I got three, I was a very happy camper.
Also. I may just be a bagger, but I honestly enjoy my job. I
love helping people and the random things they talk about. I enjoy seeing kids
dance in the isles like I use to and teens come in actin all big and bad. I love
the grumpy people and the overly happy people. I love the people I work with
and the customers.
Side note: When I was little I always loved bagging. No lie.
My dad and I would go into harmons all the time and I would always pick the
lane with no bagger and when one came up, I’d almost cry. I felt like such a
champ.
Now, for random stories.
a 49 year old comes into work everyday at least twice a day
and flirts with me. no lie. 49 and flirts with me. he is proud of me for being
such a good girl and sticking to my dreams, as he chews tabbacco.
a deaf couple came in also. this made my day! i miss sign
language so much!!! i didn't know if they were both deaf, so at first i was a
little hesitant to talk.. or sign but then they began to sign. they were on the
automatic little cart things. so i joined in and signed, "need help
out?" the old man was surprised and signed yes right away! as i put their
gorceries into the car the old man walked and put the automatic cart thing
closer to the store and he signed to me, "i helped you out and i put the
cart over there" I laughed, smiled and thanked him and the sweet old lady.
i wanted them to come in again... and again because i want to pick back up on
sign language. but for not signing for a year and a half, i think i rocked it
pretty well.
i was out on lot, gathering carts.. the worst part of the
job.. at least during the day. there was a mom, dad and their two kids in the
car. the dad was out of the car looking under the hood and there was smoke. i
thought, hmm..l strange and went on my way. i came back out to get another load
and i looked over. the mom was rushing the kids out of the car and the dad got
in and drove off. as i watched him drive off, i saw sparks of fire coming from
his car. i thought... what an idiot? the car is on fire and he is driving! little
did i know, he drove it to the end of the parking lot to get it away from all
other cars and people. he is a smarty. i ran over to the mother holding her two
little children and asked if there was anything we could do for her. she looked
at me like i was dumb and said, "do you have a fire extinguisher?" i ran
in and got my manager jme. i told her that there was a car on fire outside in
our parking lot. she looked at me like, whatever and i said really. we got the extinguisher and sped walked outside. she said where and i pointed clear to the back
of our lot. she looked at me, got ready and said, "well then we'd better
start running!!"and took off. i was laughing because she is just a little
lady with this huge extinguisher running. and as we ran, she said..."i don't even
know how to use this!" the car didn't blow up, but it made my night a whole lot more
interesting. the car is toast. totally ruined. poor mom and dad were at the
store till about 11 when it happened around maybe 7. i think i would cry if
that happened to me.
and one last thing, i love my job because of good looking
men. and other reasons... but i love when boys come into the store and flirt or
even just smile. especially when they come in twice a day and come to my line
each time.
And I apologize for always blogging about work, but that’s
what I do. Instead of spending all hours of the day in the sun and playing with
friends, I now work. But I don’t mind. When I see the pay checks it’s totally
worth it.
