23.07.08: Dull Shifts, Cleaners, Churchill Swears, and Rocking
Last night was actually a really dull shift.  The Blonde Bombshell was in a foul mood therefore didn't speak to us, I'm still not talking to him because he's arrogant and thinks he's THE alpha male and can say what he likes to who he wants, and myself and Miss C are getting along (the enemy of my enemy is my friend et al) and are spatting occasionally because of the witchunt which is going on over the cleaner.  Allegedly he is stealing little bottles of alcohol.  Funny, because if he was doing that, why does he buy a big bottle of alcohol every few days?  The ironic thing is, the company he works for (he's a contract cleaner) allocate him 2 hours to clean our store.  By rights he should leave at 5am.  But he doesn't.  He leaves at 7am, and does 2 hours unpaid overtime every day.  But management are too shortsighted to see that.  It actually makes me angry because he's a 78 year old guy trying to top up his not inconsiderable pension by doing work he enjoys.  As I said to Miss C who was busily trying to spread her poison about him, I hope when she's 78 she ends up in a terrible care home with people who beat the tar out of her on a daily basis.  She gasped and said "That's a terrible thing to wish on someone!" and I shrugged and said "No, it's karma, you try to get an old man fired, I just hope you get yours when you're his age".

However, there is one thing I want to mention which has been in some of the papers yesterday (ok, The Daily Sport, so not really a paper).  The latest Churchill Advert.  Apparently Churchill (not Winston), who is a national treasure along with the other Churchill (Winston) swears in the latest advert.  Now, I have listened to this advert over and over again.  And my conclusion?  There are fakes.  I've heard the fakes.  And I know they're fakes because not one of them is a rip from the TV, they're recorded on some camera.  But the genuine one, well...I don't know.  He definetly says something, but then again it might be "ufffff!" as it's a clear parody of Wayne's World.  Anyway, I have added the video below:

Apart from that, not a great deal happened.  Queen Chav couldn't find anything hugely wrong with the store apart from the fact that the chiller needed facing up, which Miss C or The Bombshell really should have done whilst I was on my lunch.  And I again rocked the chilled stock.  To the point where The Bombshell stormed off in a tantrum because he didn't believe I could do it all on my own.  But by the time he got to the chilled stock, there was half a cage left out of the three cages which had arrived.
