stress headache

The only reason we're not out of Skim and 1% milk is because I hid some in the back and covered them with empty milk crates and told everyone we're out. I hid them so I won't be out tomorrow because I don't want Bret to know how close to being out I am.

I covered the 1% and Skim spots with Whole milk and so now that's running low. I'm nearly out of 2% too. I won't make it through tomorrow. And I don't have a super huge order for Tuesday so it's going to be Thursday until I have enough milk that I'm not panicking.

I took down the signs and flipped the tags backwards. I think that slowed sales a tiny bit.

I almost started crying when I saw someone with four gallons in their cart. If I get fired/written up/warned tomorrow for being out of milk I'll be sure to remind myself that it's your fault.

Then there were the people who couldn't figure out that I had whole milk facing over the 1% and Skim because I was out. Why would I go to all the trouble of putting whole milk all over the shelves if I had skim or 1% around to fill it with? Idiots. Then there was the woman who asked if we didn't carry skim anymore. o_0

Then there was the normal yogurt idiocy.

I'm amazed how much Dustin did yesterday. He had to have stayed over quite a few hours. He's one to talk about not doing anything productive; he decided to stack some of the milk and the orange juice 8 high. No reason for it.

I don't understand the sudden milk craze, I really don't. You know that feeling when the front and upper part of your head feels so heavy and you might cry but the back of your jaw feels too tight and at the same time your stomach is twisting itself into knots? That's what this milk craze has done to me.

  1. don't stress too much. people will understand and buy milk next time or go to another store.

    imagine customers or managers freaking out over milk and remember that it would be an overreaction. there's more important things in life than whether or not one grocery store is stocked up on milk. and even a bright side, after all at least you're selling enough that the dates can stay fresh. also it sucks to be doing milk. you should suggest that a guy does it, be blatantly sexist. it's not like you're going to be there much longer.

  2. Oh, I don't worry about the customers at all, they can all go shop somewhere else and deal with it. I don't care.

    Turns out no one freaked out though, yay.
