the checkout line was so long that it somehow managed to wrap around the store and end in my department. I was then told by the store manager and a fire marshal that the checkout line was becoming a safety hazard, and I then had to somehow stop more people from getting in line. So now I have a large group of people standing in front of me, yelling at me because I've been ordered by the city not to let them stand in line. At this point it's 5pm, I've been at work for 13 hours and I won't be going home for another 7, and I've got my department manager breathing down my neck because even though it looks like we're going to make a sizable profit and make our sales projection, we might not top last year's sales and I've got to make up for that by pushing our dwindling supply of Norton Antiviruses. Oh, but one of my co-workers has gone missing, and as a supervisor in training who holds no authority or perks but all of the responsibility of a supervisor, I have to scour the store to find them. The PA system is broken, and the angry mob of people not allowed in the checkout line is growing larger because the server has crashed and the cashiers now to have ring everyone up with hand-written receipts that they don't know how to use. And I'm one of the employees who isn't taking drugs to get by. Oh, and I don't earn commission.
Hooray. Midnight is here and I'm off, but I had to park 2 blocks away from the store because they don't allow employees to use the parking lot on Black Friday, so excuse me while I walk my blistered feet down a dark street at night. I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow for the 12 hour shift that should be a walk in the park compared to this.
m in the electronics department. Oh what a joyous morning it will be!
