Sunday, a day of work & rest

Today is yet another Sunday I have to work. Like yesterday I'm going to type stuff throughout the day. That worked out pretty good. Now onto what happened so far this morning. I stopped at vault to pick up the stuff I need to get from there, and the guy came right to the window with it. So I thought it was going to be a quick stop, well I was wrong. Instead of the guy passing the stuff through the little door to me, like he should have, he stood there looking at it for a few minutes. Then he walked into the back, where I can't see him. Twenty minutes later he comes back, and finally gives me the stuff. I have no idea what he was doing or waiting for. So that had me running late now, and I knew I needed to make another stop.

So when I got to the second stop I had to make, I knew I would now have to hurry. Well that didn't happen either. Everything was moved around, and I had to search for what I needed. Once I found it, I headed to my stand.

I came in to find the ceiling was still leaking, and it migrated closer to the safe. This means I have to now get wet to count money. I hope they can get it fixed soon. Since I was running late I got the money setup, then opened. I was right in figuring I wouldn't get anyone right away. I usually don't on a Sunday. So now I took my time finishing everything, and am ready to go. I just hope I get business now.

Kids can be such a pain at times. I just lost a sale due to one. Every time his mom tried to ask a question or place her order, he would interupt her, and make her mad. She finally just walked away, pulling the screaming kid behind her, saying he wasn't getting anything. Now I'm waiting to see if they come back.

Well two hours have passed since I wrote the above section, and the woman and her son didn't come back. So I guess she was serious about hum not getting anything. I just wish I was busier. I know on Sundays, I usually don't get a lot of business until after church lets out, but by now most of them are our, and i'm still not busy. There are a lit of people out there walking around, but I guess they just aren't hungry.

Ok, I just got done with my lunch rush, and there are several things to comment on. The first one deals with kids again. If you know what you kid does and doesn't eat or drink, then order accordingly. I just had a father and daughter order. She wanted two chocolate milks. The dad asked if she was sure, and she said yes. About five minutes later the mom brought the milk back to exchange it for white because the girl wouldn't drink chocolate.

The next thing I wanted to talked about is customer requests. I don't know why people higher up won't listen to me, but I keep taking the same requests to them, and they keep saying no. This time it was for hand sanitiser. They have it at other placed, but don't think I need it here. At least this time I didn't lose a sale. I know that happened several times over the summer. But who knows, we have a new brown tag, so maybe she'll take the request seriously.

Ok, after work I got home and checked my e-mail, and now my new brown tag has me a little upset. I know in the past I was told by our old brown tag that he never knew what was going on, and thats why he was unable to get me help when needed. Well, I had e-mailed her in the morning to tell her that I noticed there was a special event next weekend, and her response was kind of a rude one. So I've decided I'm not going to tell her anything. I'll just keep turning in the problems with the stand, and hope she fixes them. If not, I'll keep turning them in.
