So I have just watched HellBoy, or rather I tried to watch HellBoy but the DVD kept crapping out and getting stuck every couple of chapters. The only way we could get it to play again was to restart the DVD, skip past the offending chapter, then rewind until the thing froze and then play. Stupid good-for-nothing technology. I think we missed some important parts as well :)
But I liked it, because you know, flashy comedic action one liner comic adaption movies amuse me.
In other news, I have discovered my phone doesn't like dirty words, or at least it doesn't no any. So I have had to program some into it. It's a hard life we lead.
And now for some random gripes about work:
- if I say no when you ask me if we have a particular item in stock, please do not keep describing it especially if I have said I know exactly what you are talking. It will not make the item appear. Trust me.
- you have eyes, use them. There are signs all over the shelves, highlighting discounted items, new stock, etc. Sometimes a sign is taped to a shelf that has two types of items yet the sign only applies to one of them. In this case, there is often a description on the sign that tells you which item is discounted so don't come complaining to me saying the sign is incorrect and misleading. Trust me, it isn't and if you would open your eyes you would realise this too.
- if you ask me whether we have something in stock and you have already looked for it, please tell me where you have looked. It's a big store, with lots of stock and I am not there every day so I am going to have to go and have a look myself. Do not wait until I get to an area and start looking to tell me 'oh, I already looked there and there was nothing'. In that case, we are out of said stock and you just wasted five minutes of my time.
- I have worked at this store for over two years. I know alot. More than the casuals who started last week. If you ask me whether we have something or not and I say no, listen. Do not go and ask someone else because the answer will be the same. Especially when the person has to come to me and ask me the same question because she is new and doesn't know everything and you end up looking like an idiot.
- see this box? It's heavy. Move. No, move more than that. It's common human courtesy and I would do the same to you so don't pretend that you can't see me.
- when paying for your goods you can either pay by cash or efptos. If you pay be efptos ie. with a card, you have a choice of your account. Handing me your card and saying efptos does not help. Surprisingly enough, I do know it's efptos without you saying anything because the only other option is cash and as far as I know we haven't started using hard oblong plastic things as spare change. If you want to try and help me save time in a sale then thankyou but at least do something that will help rather than make me stare at you in asperation.
- see this shirt, see how huge it is and see how it's covered in red spots, see how decidedly bad looking it is and see how it matches the name of this store? These are all sure signs that I work here and am not simply making a new bad fashion statement. Yes, I do work here. You don't need to ask because I thought it was bloody obvious.
