Yep, now I am back home.

However, I just been on the clock for 10 hours. I am glad my relief came according to schedule. I am also glad I got two 15 minutes beaks as well as a 30 minute lunch break. There is a Burger King about a block away. I ate there for dinner. But there were some things that happened today. For one, though it was not the first time I had to deal with a wine spill, but It was the first time I had to deal with one on the parking lot. I had to clean up the glass. We let the gentleman pick up another bottle.

I have made one comment today. I remember telling some of my associates "If anybody says U-scan is easier to operate than the regular checkout lanes they should have their tongue cut out!" Though, no, I don't mean that literally. But still, no, the U-scan (the self-checkout lane) is actually tougher to operate than a regular check out lane because I have to look at see what's going one with all for terminals. What is worse there are times you would laterally have to explain everything to the customers. You would have to tell them "the yellow tags are coupons" or "you need to press the pay button" "You need to press the unpacked produce button for produce" or "It's weight sensitive." Some customers get angry and frustrated, they leave and use one of the regular checkout lanes. The U-scan can be quite tedious and may have to keep doing things over and over again which can bore you out of your mind. And imagine when you are closing second shift, that would really suck because you would have to keep doing that tedious deed and you can't leave until you are relieved. That's a pain! Customers are also nastier to cashiers at the U-scan, which also makes it tough. Imagine doing this for 10 HOURS! But that's what I did today!

All I know is I am happy my day of work is now over. Boy, I'm tired. Toward the end it felt my feet were about to fall off. Well, I am happy my day of work is now over and I'm home. Now, going to get ready for tomorrow. Hope I will be up in time for Bible study at church. Bible study took the summer off, but we are back in session. Then, I will be going to the planetarium and eating at an Indian restaurant with my girlfriend tomorrow. It should be a nice Sunday.
