Downy Fresh Flatulence

 So, I am awake, because of my hectic schedule.  I worked on Friday night til 10pm and was back at Wal-Mart at 7am on Saturday.  I came got home after 4pm and crashed.  I woke up hungry, so here I am.  

Wal-Mart is keeping me busy.  I was training a new cashier on Friday night.  I guess it is "OJT" now for the "newbies".  We are having quite a turnover of cashiers.  I would say half or less than half of the 10 people that were hired with me last June are still at Wal-Mart.  

I received my first formal feedback on May 10.  It was great!  I received a high rating in customer service.  They gave me a 40 cent raise.  

I guess I bagged some Downy with some "gas" pills (Beano?) recently and a customer complained.  I would think pills would be wrapped securely in plastic wrap, right?  Oh well, I guess the Downy leaked and got on the pills?  Nothing beats the aroma of a Downy fart, right?  I just have to be careful next time.  I still can’t imagine Downy getting to the pills, can you?

I went home to GA for my Mom’s 88th bday this month.  It was a fast week.  I had a great time.  She had a wonderful bday party with all of her kids present and three of her eight grandchildren there.  

I am wondering if it is time to leave CO and go home.  I could work at Wal-Mart in GA and sub there as easily as I can here.  The cost of living is much cheaper, too.  

I have applied for several teaching jobs since I last wrote in OD.  I have had no luck with that.  Oh!  I guess I can practice teaching as I train new cashiers, huh?…LOL.  

I guess, since I am awake, I could apply for some more teaching jobs…or maybe read.  Reading sounds more fulfilling at the moment.

You always have a positive attitude. I admire your persistence. I hope you get a teaching job very soon. I know that’s what you love to do. Working at Walmart must be quite stressful but you’re making the best of it! I say move to GA and spend time with your mom while you can! You won’t regret it.

It was the scrubbing bubbles that leaked in my Wal-mart bag. No idea what it was sacked with since hubby unsacked it. He put it in the sink, I rinsed it off. He threw the bag away. Unless it is something major, let he who has never made a mistake make the first complaint.

Hmm… it never occurred to me that one could or more so would complain over how things are bagged. I have had cold items bagged in with non cold items and just figured it was the inexperience of the bagger. I do many time take in my cold and frozen item first and come back later or even the next days for the non parishables. I think typically I see medicines if placed in a mixed bag… are wrapped in another bag first. It is strange though how anything could have gotten inside the beano container.

The customer was probably just looking to get something for free by complaining. LOL @ Downy Farts!
