notes from the checkout

Remember how my last note talked about me being nice. Well, yesterday I didn't feel so nice at the checkstand. One of the customers didn't understand that a coupon that says limit one purchase of two doesn't mean that you can use multiple coupons for the same deal. Another didn't understand why her phone number wasn't immediately in the database when she had just gotten our loyalty card on her last trip. I felt like growling but took a deep breath between customers. It was not an ideal shift. I bought some chocolate soy milk (oh the joys of lactose intolerance) and had a big hot mug of it at home. This was after coming home to no parking place in front of my house and venting to Mr. D. All was well after a few games of Tetris, the hot chocolate, and a good night's sleep.
