November 2008:
Well, I said that I wanted a more exciting night, and my god did I ever get it. When I came in I was told that The Tall Pole and Rickaaaay had been sent home and I wasn't allowed to know why. Intruiging. More so when Mrs DJ came in, I asked her, and she said she had no idea but she was going to be informed by Queen Chav when she arrived. And at that point we heard a noise coming from the roof of the loading bay. A quick investigation lead us to find three kids trying to kick the roof in so they could get the beer inside. We shooed them away. Temporarily. Then they came back with gusto. 20 of them trying to kick our roof in. So, then I called the police who came in, and grabbed one of the kids, interogated him in the police car after marching him away in cuffs. Whilst all that was happening, we had an arse of a customer. He asked Miss C for a copy of The Sun, which she had bundled and filled in the paperwork for. So she joked she would have to open the bundle of papers. His reply? "Damn right you will. You're the cashier, I am the customer, it is your duty to serve me". Miss C refused to serve him, so he refused to leave. And they kept arguing amongst each other. Until Miss C was serving a customer and the customer kept yelling at Miss C. Said customer went outside, asked one of the police who weren't interogating the kid to come in and remove him. The cop came in and then asked what the problem was, and we explained, and the guy explained that he still wasn't leaving. So the police asked him nicely to leave. He yelled at Miss C, therefore was cuffed and taken to the car with the kid. So, the police asked if we wanted to let the kid go or to charge him. I told them to let him go, and I'd let the police know if we needed him charged. They agreed. Then the cop returned absolutely cracking up with laughter. He told us that he told the kid to leave and not to come back anytime soon. Apparently the kid then said "Ok, I'll just grab some cigarettes from inside and go". The cop put him back in the car, and read him the riot act, telling him that he wasn't allowed to come back to the store. We like our police. And then we had about 6 or 7 kids come in with a massive, shoulder mounted camera. They came up and asked very sweetly if they could film a scene for their film for a competition in the store. Of course we let them, after we asked if they were going to try and break the store, steal stuff, or become abusive. They looked shocked and said they just wanted to film their film, so I loosened up and told them that it was cool, and even offered to close the store for them. Plus we wished them luck for their competition. Lastly, I had my colleague survey. It's a twice annual thing, and it lets us give feedback to head office. And ashamedly, it was the most negative colleague survey I have ever filled out. I normally try to keep it to a minimum, but this year I really haven't been able to keep any kind of positivity. Plus they asked what happened after last half's results. I told them that the results which were posted were over a year out of date. When they asked what I wanted to happen to make the place a better place to work. I told them that I was annoyed that my loyalty and efforts weren't rewarded, instead, I was picked on. Miss C also told me that she ticked the bullying box. As did I. Maybe a few more people will get the balls to complain about our bullying atmosphere... Permalink | |
