Sunday conversations Wholesale Style

me: The person in the lower office is covering a break so you can't get your register until she comes back.
New cashier: How do I get my register?
me: When lower office comes back from covering the front door you can get your register.
New cashier: Where is the person from the lower office?
me (speaking very slowly at this point): She's at the front door but you can do reshops until she comes back.

I turn around to grab the cart from behind the service desk and I turn around and NC is walking down to the front door. According to the girl from the LO, NC asked her if she could get her a register.

I hate when we hire manager's friends. They are slooooooowwww. Like the managers.

Chinese woman walkes up to Al...

CW:They no find my card. Say it expired and have to pay but I have new card and they can't find it. What wrong with my card?
Al silent while trying to decode woman's accent.
CW: They make pay for new card but old one expired and friends card good.
Al: If you are under your friends membership you should be find then.
Al types in the woman's membership number and tells her that yes her card is still good.
CW: Why tell me it no good? They find then not find and say it wrong but under the seat of my car.
Al: Your card is fine for the next year.
At this point Al runs off to break (which I don't blame her) and CW proceeds to the service desk and goes through the whole conversation with me again!

Al: I hurt my hand...alot.
Me: How did you do that?
Al: I hit my closet.
Me: I'm sorry....lets get a cake.
Al: Okay.

Wendy, Al, Robert and I are all standing at the podium. Robert starts gossiping...like normal.

Me: Robert, you're gossiping.
Robert: No, I'm not. I'm telling you what happened.
Me: Isn't that gossiping?
Robert: Not if I'm telling you the facts.
Me: But if it isn't about us and about another cashier and how she's in need of an attitude adjustment and how you aren't gonna take it anymore and she's not here to defend herself, isn't that gossip?
Robert: Quiet, I'm telling a story.

This from a manager who tells us not to gossip every day.

Tip for all my fellow employees. When you're on the phone with a member, just keep hitting random numbers on the keypad while they are talking. They won't notice and you get to entertain your self. It's especially fun if they are old and can't hear and keep talking about going to Massachusetts.
