Chad picked me up. I was dropped off at Radio Shack. Tara was working. I brought the boxes of empty water bottles in the store and then left and walked to Wal-Mart. I bought a lot of stuff, mostly food. I also got a bottle of regular insulin, a bottle of NPH insulin, a new pair of Wrangler jeans, and a new pair of shoes. The shoes I got are solid black Starter sneakers. I tried them on in the store. For a brief moment I considered putting them both on my feet and putting the shoes I had walked in with in the shoebox and just walking out with the new shoes on my feet. I didn't do that though. I needed new shoes. The ones I had were practically falling apart. They were left by Matt when I first started working at Radio Shack. Dave said I should just take them so I did. They were slightly too big for me but I made them fit.
I pushed my cart of shit back to Radio Shack. I left it by the back door. I entered through the front door. I went to the back door, opened it, and pulled my cart in. I put all perishables and my insulin in the refrigerator. I changed my shoes. I put my old shoes in the shoebox and threw the box away in the outside trash can. No charitable organization would even accept those shoes. Trust me on this one.
Tara said she would give me a ride home so I loaded the nonperishables into her S.U.V. I walked out the back door, loaded her vehicle, and returned the cart to Wal-Mart's lot. I reentered through the front door.
The day was pretty skow. I pretty much just hung out. Tara went to lunch shortly after I clocked in. After Tara returned some bitchy woman came in. She wanted to use her Radio Shack credit card but she didn't have the card with her. She said to call some number, a number I don't even know, and get approval. I refused. She left in a huff.
Tara spent most of day in the back room. She's selling her house because she's moving to Iowa. She'll be the new district manager there. I just stayed on the sales floor but it wasn't very busy.
Justin called. He said he wasn't coming until well after his scheduled start time. He said his wife and baby are both sick. That pissed Tara off. It didn't sit too well with me either. Tara asked me if I could stay. She said Justin would give me a ride home. I agreed but I really didn't have a choice. I can use the extra hours anyway because I left early last week and I took off Wed. from Delmart. Tara was meeting with her realator so she couldn't stay. Jose couldn't be left alone. It was Ken's day off. I stayed. Justin will be leaving the store soon.
Tara left. I took the stuff I had loaded into her S.U.V. back out and brought it in the store just before she left. I was alone in the store for about 45 mins. Jose showed up. It had gotten a little busier but not too much. It always gets busier as the day wears on. I filled the bottles with water from the sink in the storage room. Somebody had already removed the boxes that were in the sink on previous times I've done this. When I was finished filling the bottles I just left the boxes where they were. I called Domino's and ordered an 8 piece boneless chicken box with habenaro mango sauce. I got a root beer too. I shot up in the back room. I was delayed in getting my food because Jose had just gotten a Radio Shack credit card approval on this one woman. When we tried to use that for her purchase of a scanner, it kept saying the card was denied. We tried at least 3 times and then Jose called the help desk. I walked to Domino's and got my chicken pieces while he was on the phone. I returned in a flash. I ate the food right there on the counter on the sales floor. I asked the customers if they minded. They didn't. The woman was a hottie and she had her father and brother with her. I stayed on the sales floor to see if Jose needed me. He didn't. Eventually the sale got approved. We never found out why her account was denied. All three people were very cool and the woman was smoking hot. I talked with all of them while Jose was on the phone getting the purchase approved. They were the only customers in the store during their purchase and while I was eating.
I got another cart, it was in the back of our store, slightly off to the side, and brought it in the store. I loaded the boxes of water and the nonperishables into it. Justin finally showed up. He was scheduled to be there at 3:00 p.m. and he showed up at 7:00 p.m. I pushed the cart through the sales floor, there was nobody there, and loaded Justin's S.U.V. I think Justin punched in but I'm not sure. I walked the cart back to Wal-Mart's lot and put it in a cart corral. Just followed me there in his S.U.V. I got in his vehicle and he drove me home. When I got home I noticed I left my horseradish in the refrigerator at Radio Shack. That pissed me off because I was looking forward to sandwiches with horseradish.
