3,4,5

day 3: of work they had me come in and learn the cash register. i get up there and they put me with this girl and i watched her register for a few minutes and she turns to me and asks me do you think you got it. i said sure. i get on the register, and took to it quickly and a the girl said wow in the 5 years i've worked here you are the only the 2nd person to catch on that quick...so they made me cashier for the next 6 hours. ugh, i hated it. then they made me do the 20 items or less line. i almost slipped and said the f word too. this guy comes up with what looks like a tree root to me and i turned to the girl training me with root in hand, and almost said what the fuck is this..lol.i caught myself..apparently it was a ginger root.so that was day 3.
day 4: they finally let me work the floor( the job i was hired for).they had me work with the department manager. she gave me the rundown and i went and did what she explained we had to do.i finished pretty quick everything she had me do. she told me your doing a great job and catching on quickly, she said that she gets a lot people who work there that are basically dumb as dirt( this whole town is dumb as dirt, its kinda scary too..lol.)i told her i noticed that with this town, told her i was from California. she said that explains it.lol...so she showed me how to do the inventory gun and pick merchandise from the back and stuff the department manager does..lol..that was kinda cool.
day5: this was Saturday night and i was on my own. there was on one else working in my department. which i liked i didn't have to answer to anyone. so i go in and restock the toilet paper( it amazes me how fast the toilet paper goes, there must be some big shitters in this town). clear the aisles of stuff that doesn't belong, break down the empty cardboard boxes, turn in damaged stuff.When i went to turn in the stuff that doesn't belong in my department i ran into these three girls that just gave me shit when i asked what bin does these items go in. they were like figure it out, if you cant just scan it and it will tell you ...well i said fine and i started to put the stuff away my way..lol..i put spray paint in the toy bin, toys in the food bin, food with the apparel.. as i was leaving that area i was thinking to myself have fun sorting that shit..they called for registered trained associates to come cashier like every ten min. i ignored every call. fuck that I'm not cashiering.until they actually call my name over the intercom to come up to cashier i'm not doing it..lol.whats cool is i don't have to be back to work until Wednesday.
Judgment: do i like the job?, yeah i guess. there's a lot worse jobs i could be doing i guess.week one went ok, wonder how week 2 will go.
