It's my worst fucking day at work.
Per usual for the first shift I was tasked with placing the newspapers on the shelves and while doing so I found plenty of old newspapers someone wasn't bothered to throw away SINCE MARCH (edit: found a few copies from 2022). At first I was happy about it because I had something to do because there's little to no customers in the morning.
While cleaning I made a mess because I organised the newspapers on the floor and that's when the customers came to me like a flood.
I got stressed out, tried to be as fast as possible, and failed an audit (I didn't look into his cart). I thought he wouldn't come here today because he was supposed to be there yesterday and nobody told me we're still "in danger". I messed up and take a full responsibility for it.
But I also learned that he can test me whenever he wants even 5 times in one day. That's fucking accessive!! Who allowed him to do that?! Seriously, the colporate is so fucking greedy. Oh no they'll loose a few bucks to a shoplifter!! It's gonna happen no matter what and seriously thieves are smarter than that. They hide the stolen goods in ther clothes, not just "forget" to tell the cashier about their groceries.
I actually checked out a known thief today (it's a small area so our store is filled with regulars we know pretty well). She hides stuff like butter in her sleeves but I can't pat her out (not that I even care enough to do so) so without any proof I just let her do whatever.
And in the normal circumstances I can always notice someone walking away with unpayed groceries after the transaction and call it out.
Then I fucking broke a can of beer and an energy drink. I spilled it all over myself and a customer (I apologised perfusely and they didn't mind). 156
Now I'm gonna smell like shit for the nest 4 hours..
Oh, remember when I said I organised the newspapers on the floor? My manager got angry about it and placed them on the register, COMPLETELY MESSING THEM UP IN THE PROCESS SO I'LL HAVE TO ORGANISE THEM AGAIN!!
Edit: I reorganized the newspapers and ended up with a half of a small cart of outdated newspapers. What the fuck. Nobody cared :(
As I was getting ready to leave one of the managers stood in my way and I politely asked her to move. She didn't respond. The thing is, I have pet birds so I instinctively whistle when I want to grab anyone's attention.. so I whistled at her (naggingly like I do to my cockatiel, it wasn't a flirtatious whistle (ew)) and she got offended...
I mean, I'd understand the anger if I did this to any other person. It was unprofessional and quite rude even though it wasn't my intention. But she's regularly petting me and calls me a child.. just make up your mind you can't just be friendly to the point of invading my personal space (which I don't mind, I don't have a stick shoved up my asshole) and then be all fussy when I treat you in a similar manner. 430
