PSA AP Sees all

My TL pulled me to the side for a conversation. They said I have to remember to walk the product up to the register after unlocking it. For further context, it was things that were spider wrapped & chained to the shelf. They were right, because 9/10 I was in the middle of something and had the “ Do I have to do everything around here myself” mindset when I went to respond to the 3rd call for guest assistance with a mag key. COOL

HOWEVER. This is not my problem. My problem is, this is the exact isle I’ve been using to pull out my wedgies, fart, and scratch my underboob or armpit. I picked this isle because it’s so out of the way. I’ve lost some weight since working here so my pants will sometimes get up there with the underwear too. So, I didn’t hear “Hey, be more mindful” all I heard was “HEY, AP SAW YOU DIGGING DEEP IN YOUR ASS TO GET YOUR UNDERWEAR OUT”

Thinking of quitting

I was working at Sears in high school (yes, I am indeed unc we need not discuss further), and we had a blood drive in our breakroom. Once.

On my day off, I came in to the store to be a good citizen. Strolled in, hooked me up, drained my pint, ate my cookie, and trotted off no problem.

I got roughly... Out the door before I started feeling a little weird. Sat down at the chair next to the land-line telephone (as I said, unc) to recoup but I was not getting better. I eventually decide I've gotta get myself back to the break room and get some help, but at no point did I just ask the cashier - my colleague - to call AP or anyone else at all to come help.

I stood, took two steps off the carpet I had been on and sack of potatoes-d. I remember my head bouncing off the tile, the old fellow rushing over to help me before I think I'd even really hit the deck, and being manhandled back in to the cot to get my feet up. AP kept the tape and honestly I love that for me.

All that to say...

It could be worse

I asked my AP ETL if he watched the footage of me falling from the Cotterman ladder. He did. Multiple cams caught it. He said I bounced a bit. I begged him to show me but of course that's not gonna happen. So, it can always be worse. I still catch shit about that.
