I shall try to do this as lightly as possible so I don't sink into a funk. I believe I mentioned B quit so it's back to just me. Not only was that true, but come the weekend, turns out the gas stations closed again so we had every idiot who'd normally go there as well. There's a thing on the register where you can find out how many customers you've rung up since the start of your shift, or since end of day if that runs after your shift starts, and on a normal day I hit around 100 people by the end of my shift. It's probably been a little higher since restrictions lifted and the food & bev people have been forced to come in as all the grocery stores are closed and their food options are limited but still. Friday at 2am I was at 168 and that was with P ringing up a good chunk of people and Saturday I stopped looking before 3am when it was 184 or so.

And soooooooo many people were from out of town. So many people not even trying to wear a mask while coughing all over creation. I wanted to hit anyone who made a big thing about us having single masks for sale (it's even a donation thing so it's not full muhahaha profit thing) and why should they have to buy one and blah blah blah. Dude, while I get what you mean, what I hear is that you think MY life and the lives of everyone else in this hellhole? Worth less than a $1. It's not okay and I hate that I have to say it's okay or else corporate could go allllllll the way in on me.

It is also not as reassuring as you think it is to tell me, "oh, I don't have COVID. I just smoke too much."

I went to a local Wag's over the weekend and their shelves were just empty. When my mom asked an employee if they were ever going to get [thing] restocked, the employee said that they had the truck, they just couldn't touch it yet. And that made me think of you and your adventures on truck nights, and the fact that you're working alone overnight because Corporate is so awful. Which I related to my mom in general terms, and she sympathized.

Sorry you're getting the fresh waves of late night idiots taking out their frustrations on you. Mercifully even though our state mask mandate is over, the majority of people around here are still wearing them (and the ones who aren't, aren't complaining at least where I can hear). Even though I'm fully vaccinated I'm not comfortable going out in public without a mask because of the general stupidity of humanity. I feel for you being stuck with the great unwashed masses - retail hell was bad enough 10 years ago when I was there, I can't imagine how awful it is now!!
