First day of work!

My feet are aching. It's been a long time since I had to stand 6 straight hours on my feet on a hard floor. LOL. But, aside from that, my first day went great! I caught on right away to the cash register. I spent most of the day ringing on the till. The other lady who was training today was a bit slower at catching on. I think she might get it, it's just going to take her longer to get it. I have to say this: her and I will probably be the most customer service oriented employees this company has. Or at least this store. The other cashiers do not smile, rarely say a word to the customers and just look all out grumpy. it's pathetic. The one cashier sits with her back to the store, inbtwn customer, playing on her damn cell phone. We are supposed to go to the end of our check out line and wait for customers to invite to our line. It seems all the employees there do just the bare minimum to perform their job duty without losing their job. It's crazy. If you really don't want to be there, don't come to work. In this economy, there are plenty of ppl out there willing to take your place. And it's not the customers' fault that you are having a shitty day or don't like your job or whatever. Your face really won't crack if you give them a smile. You never know, you may just make someone's day! I honestly felt like the bright spot on the front end! I know that sounds conceited, but damn, you have ot see these other cashiers. They all lack customer service skills all the way around. And the girl with the cell phone would be warned to put that in her pocket or leave iti n her purse, car or at home. Then, she would be given the chance to sit on that phone indefinitely, while in the unemployment line.
But, i do like the job so far. I like working with the public. Management, here I come...lol. Can't see having too much competition...those ladies lack any morsel of ambition. I think for some of them, it takes all they have just to breathe.

On another note, I was visiting babyzone (my addiction) and found a post about changes in the internet. THe big corporations are wanting to take over and basically restrict access or something to that affect. Here is a link to a site where you can sign a petition to prevent this from happening. It also gives info on the bill they are trying to pass. Just another way for the corporations to take over the world and screw us poor peons! http://www.netfreedomnow.org
