Just A typical Workday

I guess you could say that it was a typical work day, or was it a full moon? It all started Friday the 20th, on my way to work...I was driving along the interstate, just getting to Caldwell's first exit, the one to Simplot's, when this pickup I was driving by lost a couch out of the back (he was in the left lane) and the two cars behind him immediately stopped. I figured that he was going to go to the main Caldwell exit and turn around and go back. He didn't, so I caught up to him and stayed at the same speed, he looked over and I motioned to him and mouthed that he lost the couch, so he slowed down, so I slowed down and rolled my window down and yelled "You lost your couch", several times, so he got to the side and stopped. I should have pulled over with him, but I didn't think of it at the time, because when I looked at the speedomoter I was going about 15 and so was he and the cars were backing up behind us. I hope he found it!! Then I had been working about an hour, when I had a woman about in her 60's give me a $50, and ask if I needed to see ID with that. I looked at her kinda confused and said "For the $50?" She said, "I have my ID right here." I told her I didn't need it, then the guy behind her said, "You guys ask for ID for cash now?" I said no, and the woman looked at him and said "Oh, I from out of state." As she handed me her California drivers license. I handed it right back to her and told her it was ok, that we do take out of state cash. Just when you think you've seen and heard it all...
Next, I was checking along, when Deena came to the checkstand behind me to get Marilyn out for break, and then Kelsi(she was in front of me) turned to me with a bag of Laffy Taffy from bulk foods and asked me what the bin number was, a customer in my line asked if I knew where to find the canned chicken, and Deena asked me if I knew what code was for the old fasioned donuts, and the customer on side B handed me two $100 bills. I thought jeez, who do I help first? So I looked at Kelsi and said 3308, the chicken is on aisle 6A, then I took the bag of donuts to see if there was cake donuts also, when Deen's customer shouted "Don't touch my donuts! Now they are all broken and ruined! That's why I didn't want anyone to handle them!! I don't want them now!" I quickly handed them back to Deena, took the $200 and tendered it and gave the change to my customer. Deena tried to calm down the guy, she called bakery, done alot of explaining, and the next thing I knew, he was calm and laughing and ok. Then Marilyn came back from break after he had gone, and we teased her about going to break just to get out of that situation. Then about 15 minutes later, I heard a loud thump and felt splatters on the back of my pants. I turned around, and a bottle of juice had fallen from the belt in Marilyn's line and got all over. I also noticed that with Kelsi's hair being black on top and blonde on the bottom, that she maybe shouldn't wear a pony tail. She has short hair, but with the color black and tan, it reminded me of my black and tan terrier I used to have and how he looked from behind...
Then came after lunch. When I went to lunch, I was running out of receipt tape, but I forgot to change it. I was in checkstand 12, which is the checstand that if you run out, it doesn't stop printing and tells you that you need to change the tape, it continues to print on nothing, and gives you no receipt. Well, during this particular order, first of all the customer tried to slide his debit card while I was checking out the groceries, so I told him that he would need to wait until I was done with his order. I finished, and hit the sale suspend key to flip it over to side A to start the next order. Oh yeah, and checkstand 12 is also real slow at going from side to side, I scanned two packages of meat, then the guy came back to side his card, and when I had switched it over, I had no balance, so I knew I had put the meat on his order, so I voided the meat off, had Connie key the override, had him pay and gave him the receipt, not seeing that it was only half a receipt, his wife showed it to me, and Ruth was getting an override that Kelsi had at the time, so I told Ruth what happened, and she said, Oh did you know that you forgot to give a customer her $40 about an hour ago? I said anything is possible today. So she got the transaction number off my next order and went up to print out the receipt, and the woman said, I want to make sure that I didn't pay for the meat that she added onto our order. I felt like saying, "Hello!!! Didn't you see the PIC come over and key the override that I told you about????"
Oh the things that we deal with day after day!!
