catching up

No updates yet on my lovelorn coworker. I'll continue to watch and worry.

I just found out that OS is out with kidney stones. I really hope she feels better soon.

CC, who had a brain aneurysm a while back is now at home again. I hear she is doing very well, much to my relief. She is planning to return to the store, but there is no telling how long that will take. I miss her, and I'm glad she is doing well.

A couple of other coworkers are getting on my nerves. One guy in the cafe was asked to prepare a turkey pannini for a customer. When it was done toasting, he set it on the counter and announced that "One dead animal in a sandwich" was ready. Why is he still employed? Why? He's gotten many complaints before.

Another coworker griped at me that I started him working on the bestsellers with me so long after we closed. In a way, I can see where he's coming from. The bestsellers are usually done before the store was closed.

Here's the thing. He was out on the sales floor while I was stuck at the registers. He was complaining about not having anything to do in the last half hour the store was open. He also pulled out two of a dozen shelving carts while I pulled out all of the rest. I get it. He wanted to get out of there. So did I. But this stuff had to be done before we left for the night!

And then there was the customer who walked in while I was doing the closing announcement, who convinced the manager to let his buddy in, and then placed what was apparently a long, complicated cafe order. It took them about ten minutes to leave the store. Thanks, guys! Much appreciated!

*sigh*

I know I'm being whiny, but I was really not in the mood to deal with this crap.
