I Survived!
Tonite was not so bad at Walmart. Time flew! I had some irate customers, but I have to remember that is life in retail. One guy got very mad when I told him my register was closed. It was after 9pm and I closed my register at 8:54pm ish. I told the last customer in my line that I was closing, but I didn’t put up a "This register is closed" sign. I did turn off my light. I guess this is another lesson learned. Life is so full of lessons!
So, I stopped in at Walgreens tonite after work. I have done something to my right arm. The elbow area hurts when I try to do things. Maybe I have a pinched nerve? I have no clue how I did this! So it is very painful at times. I decided to pick up some Aleve at Walgreens after work. Guess what?! Two customers approached me for help finding products! I guess all us retail personnel all look alike…lol. One lady had Shingles and was in extreme pain. I brought her over to a chair to rest. I then went and got a Walgreens employee to help me find the product for the ill customer. As I was looking at the Aleve, another customer asked me where she could find some gauze. I thought I would NEVER get home tonite.
P.S. I prayed before going to work and asked God to help me, and He did!
Have a great Thursday. I am headed to bed.
I used to sometimes write about how customers treat us, and have received notes that left me feeling they think I can’t handle my job, which I’d *love* to see some of them try and do what I do and put up with the crap etc….So,I truly understand what you are saying!!! **huggs**

People will go in your line even if you have tuened your light off and often I see the clerk check them out. It is so unfair when I am in the next long line. I wish Walmart would have a better system when the Clerk has shut down so it is more in my face apparent.. Maybe you have tennis elbow.. I see many clerks wearing those things on their arms as the check people out.
