So, the reason I was going into work today at 5am was so I could unload our delivery truck for the store's stock. It was supposed to be yesterday at 4pm, but NOPE, guy ended up being VERY late, so it was changed to this morning. Well, I get to work, wait an hour, and the bastard never even bothered to show up or call saying he was even on his way... So I stayed awake for no reason. At all. =I Oh how I love working retail. Its so rewarding. But at least I got my coffee. <3 Spoiler Also, to those who have never worked retail before, and wonder why some people joke about retail sucking the soul out you, this kind of shite is exactly why. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
900 vonKaiser Alpha Tester 2,902 posts 6,252 battles Report post #6 Posted August 31, 2017 Coffee works, I just wish I could drink it. Never did bitter well so by the time I'm done adding milk and sugar it's not worth it. I just drink Pepsi Max instead, diet soda, extra caffeine and doesn't even taste diet. Between that and youtube music channels I can usually make it through a long day. For instance shift just started today, Thursday and I've already hit 73 hours since Saturday Corporate has been on my case about working 90-112 hour weeks because no one else is willing to pick up the slack so the guys under me are going to be in for a rude awakening this weekend when the Mandatory overtime memo comes down the line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
