the first day of work is always filled with repetitive training on common sense issues to keep the company from getting sued, and this day was no exception. i learned that essentially everything is incredibly dangerous, all male customers are potential perverts, and any discrimination or other harassment issue is always sexually based. well, at least that's the idea you'd get from the basic training program for your typical department store. oh, and despite the fact that children could essentially injure themselves with any object, thousands of childrens' products are recalled yearly for the same underlying reason of avoiding lawsuits.
if that doesn't tell you something...
anyway, the day went pretty well. it was long and kind of boring, but i made it through an i didn't want to shoot up the place on my way out. i actually didn't ring up a single customer [i'm a cashier, if i didn't mention that before] but i watched just about everything being done and i think i'll be able to do the whole job myself tomorrow as long as i can ask people questions if i get confused about something. i had a most delicious chicken enchilada grilled stuft burrito [with nooooo sour cream] and it was just great. one plus about working at the mall: food court. house tonight was pretty intense! back to work tomorrow.
edit: i had fully intended to post this yesterday, but didn't because i was working on some visual aids to accompany the story, sort of in the style of allie brosh. that never happened. it's okay, i don't want people to like that and expect it of me, considering i do this daily and that would just be way too much pressure, man! *tweek voice*
Congrats on completing your first day at... Sears. :)
