It's the run up to christmas (and we've been getting christmas stuff in for about a month now) so we're receiving way too much stock and I keep having to do container runs just to clear space in the stock room. Yesterday's delivery wasn't too bad but I still ended up having to take storage boxes and boxes of gift wrap to the container.
Also today there's a student promotion on so I leave for work at half 5 today and finish at 10. It feels so weird not leaving at half 1 at the latest.
Buuuuuuut after that I get a 3 day weekend. Winning!

This a co-worker related thing but it still counts.
One of our newbies recently started and is an older woman. Can't fault her enthusiasm (as she's willing to sweep the floors and even tidy up the shop floor without being asked) but she thinks she knows everything and made it painfully obvious she intends to progress, which is fine but when you're new and trying to interfere with other people's jobs (such as "helping" to cash up the till, which only serves to completely throw them off) that's not okay.
But I disgress. When she doesn't know something and gets told what to do, she forgets it almost immediately after doing it. Thus she is a frequent user of the bell system we have installed which is pretty fucking loud and annoying and the rest of us try to avoid using it if we can, and if we have to use it, make it a quick press.
I've told her numerous times how to scan Loyalty cards; scan it after scanning in a customer's shop, then press Total. Always press Go Back to scan anything else in including Loyalty cards. But once as I was helping her out, my manager took notice of her difficulty doing it and witnessed her successfully doing it under my supervision. She then pulled a dick move and tried claiming to the manager that she'd been told to do it a different way, which apparently is; Total, scan it, it doesn't scan because it's still in Total, panic and ring the bell for help. Which is total bullshit and it seemed like she was trying to drop me in it.
TL;DR - know-it-all coworkers who don't absorb the information given to them, and who seem to try and undermine others to get to the top.
This really fucks me off after a while especially when it's a busy day and every other customer does it. I end up having to ask for anything smaller. It's like an uphill battle to keep my supply of £1 coins intact.

was mostly on tills today (i don't normally work on the tills), but had to many customers buying something for £1.99 and then giving me fucking £20 noteThis really fucks me off after a while especially when it's a busy day and every other customer does it. I end up having to ask for anything smaller. It's like an uphill battle to keep my supply of £1 coins intact.

Yesterday:
Saw my till buddy tagged in a picture from a nightclub.
She looks really good in a dress.
Today:
A customer told me that they prefer our store to the one that's recently opened up in the Town Centre (where two of our team members transferred to) as we're a lot more laid back and friendly. That put me into a good mood.

Over a month or two ago I sold a customer an entire box of 12-pack sets of HB pencils and even let her keep the box since I thought it would be easier to carry. She came back yesterday asking for a refund/exchange because they weren't sharpened and couldn't be arsed to do each pencil individually. She took that long to bring them back after assuming they were already sharpened despite clearly being able to see through the seethrough packaging that they're not.
After she got her exchanged goods I suggested that should she have any problems with bulk sharpening in the future she could buy an electric sharpener from Argos. I tried not to come off as rude in the way I said it, though I don't think I did as we had a small conversation about crankhandle sharpeners.

You have the same birthday as my till buddy from the charity shop.
One more day closer to death.

For the past week or so I've been suffering from what I presume is a stomach bug; when I had to go I had to go, and when I did go me shits came out like brown lava or in pieces and would always just rush out the moment I sat down. Also because of it I couldn't fart without feeling like I'm going to follow through. When at work my gut would start grumbling at me because I needed to fart but obviously, couldn't.
You can imagine my joy then that I found out this morning that I can fart normally again and have been all day. Though it still smells like something's crawled up and died in there.

Woke up at 8 this morning to maximise the enjoyment of my day off. But 1) we had to look after a relative's dog who is very active, and 2) the day went way too quickly.

We can only hope.But wait, they're girls so they'll just get off with a warning (if even that). This is America.
Gender-based leniency during sentencing happens in the UK too. A 21 year old girl fucks an 11 year old boy and doesn't even get jail based on mental age.
"She told him she enjoyed it, he said he had not as it was wrong."
Why do only gay boys get molested?
That's not the worst part, the dad claims the kid's sexually active and he was the ex-lover of said babysitter. Generation sandwich. All I can think of is her getting spitroasted by them.

Among one of the many random conversations with my manager, the subject of YouTube having a porn equivalent (YouPorn and RedTube) came up. I explained there's one of Facebook called FuckBook, and tried explaining how I came across it: heard about it randomly on the Internet, one day got curious and checked to see if it existed. But I explained that poorly and it only made me sound like I actively use it.
Why am I so awkward.

Yesterday:
The sudden change in weather made everyone else feel lethargic and lazy, whereas I was in a good mood and the back and foot pain I get from standing for hours on end wasn't as bad as usual.
I swear I have a crossed wire somewhere.
Today:
This status I saw on Bookface:
Seems she types without thinking or checking spelling and grammar. Most of the shit she writes is utter garbage.

Only individual people can really answer that.
If you buy a Book it's permanently unlocked for your account whether or not you have an active subscription, and you can even get a proper physical copy. Essentially each book is a one-time buy for unlimited use, and they come Uncensored. But if you don't care about owning Books-specific physical copies or the books on offer then this won't apply to you.
If you subscribe you get Fakku Gold and unlimited access to Premium hentai manga (not to mention the library is ever-growing) until your subscription ends, but subscriptions aren't permanent and you lose Fakku Gold and access to premium content when it expires. If you don't actively read hentai manga this won't apply to you.
Subscriptions seem to be the better choice but Books has manga exclusive to it.
