I just want to take the time out today to chat with everyone about something that has just happened in my life. I gave in my two weeks a couple weeks ago and I already started my new job..right? I thought this was going to be such a successful new change for me and I'd be so much more happier than where I was at before..well first impressions are the most important and omg I can't do this..
Yesterday was my first day at my new job and oh my goodness is everything so overwhelming. It's extremely hard to go from one company handling things one way and a different business handling it a completely different way. Me from going being almost a manager from one store, to being a complete nobody at a different store is such an awkward feeling. I didn't like it at all. At my old job I had authority and felt comfortable being "sassy" to rude customers because I've been there long enough to know that I won't get in trouble for that. Imagine trying to be sassy to customers on your first day? It just doesn't work that way.
Let me tell you how horrible my first day of working there was so you can feel my pain. One lady got pissed off at me because I gave her 5 pennies instead of a nickel. She literally didn't even say bye back to me when I told her to have a nice day because she as so annoyed at my for some reason. Another lovely lady came in and got pissed off at me again because she wanted to use an "amount off of $10 purchase" coupon and her amount came to $9.99. She looked at me, laughed, and said, "Are you kidding me. A penny. I can't use that coupon because of a damn penny?!" I said no, I'm sorry. You can pick out something to make it $10 and we can then use the coupon. She like huffed and puffed and was like, "FINE. This is a joke!" AS IF I MAKE THE PRICES LADY. BUY YOUR COTTON BALLS AND GO NAG YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT HOW HARD YOUR LIFE IS.
Like I legit don't understand why people have to be so rude. I didn't do anything to personally insult you or your intelligence and you make me feel like crap for something I have no control over. Be a nice human being, accept it and walk away. Simple. Oh but the cherry on top was this lady getting angry at me because she misheard me saying she could use the coupon, when I actually said she couldn't. She yelled, "Are you kidding me? You just said you could!" I said, "no ma'am, I said you couldn't use it." She flips her hair, widens her eyes and says, "This is exactly why I don't come here?! It's ridiculous, no one know what they're doing!" I tried to scoot her phone over to her because it was more towards the register since I was about to scan it. Just as I pushed it a centimeter, she grabbed my hand and scratched the top of it. Let out a huge gasp of air, rolled her eyes and waddled out. I said, "have a nice day." And all she could say was, "HUHHH." I felt personally victimized by Regina George that day.
I'm sorry, but people who fight with employees because of an invalid coupon are the dumbest ones of them all. Uh esqueeze me missy, I don't make the rules! You don't have to be so nasty to me! It's only a part time job, not my own enterprise! Needless to say, I felt extremely stressed out and overwhelmed I actually had to go to the back to "get a drink of water" when I actually needed cold air or I was 10 seconds away from having a panic attack. No joke. Once I got in my car I couldn't hold it in anymore and I just broke. I felt ridiculous at the same time though because I knew I shouldn't have been crying, but my heart is sensitive and can't handle some situations.
The only thing good about that night was we got out fairly earlier than what I'm used to. So it was nice to be home earlier and get things done at a decent time. But overall, where I'm at right now..this isn't worth it to me. My old job paid more money as well and the customers were overall decent and didn't get pissed off for little reasons. SO yeah I am missing it right now..which is weird. You don't know how good you had it once you leave it. I'm trying to get back but actually get the promotion I was promised a year or so ago. Which is soo much money.
Let's see where things go for now though. Tomorrow is my second day and it's a 6 hour shift so I'm really nervous. Hopefully it's better!
