Publix, where shopping is a pleasure.

So his brother who works at Publix as a cashier had a customer come through his 10 Items or Less lane at work who had a whole cart full of groceries and asked her, "Which 10 of these items would you like me to ring up?"
Oh. My. God.
I can't even imagine what kind of madness that would cause at work.

Today he came home from work on his lunch and said "It is SO busy today. I think everyone must be getting ready for Easter because they know we're closed."

His dad says to me, "That's what he says every time he goes to work. He goes to work for a 4 hour shift and tells me he needs to take a nap when he gets home because he's exhausted."

Today he's working 11-9 and he's scheduled at 11 tomorrow morning so he said, "I have to come home from work just to turn around and go right back to work in the morning!"

WHAT!? 14 hours between shifts isn't enough for you?! There are times that I would KILL for just 12 hours between shifts. And he's only a cashier at Publix for goodness sakes. It's not like he lifts anything more than a bag of dog food on any given day. THEY HAVE FREAKING BAGGERS ANYWAY!

Later while we were all eating dinner he called home on his break to tell his dad about a situation that had just happened.
"You'll never believe what just happened!"
(Apparently he calls and says that at least once a day.)
This is what he said (in his dad's words),

"I was helping a lady out to her car but before we walked outside I told her to wait for just a minute and she asked where I was going and I told her I had to get a drink first. So after I got a drink I put all her groceries in her car for her. Would you believe that as she was drivinging away she rolled down her window and threw a quarter out at me and told me to buy a soda?!"
Bahahah. Yes, Andy, I can believe that.
You made her wait so you could get a drink before you walked the whole, maybe 30 feet to her car.

She was definitely in the wrong for one reason though, sodas don't cost 25 cents anywhere anymore so 2 quarters really would have been more appropriate.

Apparently he's mad because he's been working there for almost 5 years now and he is still a cashier but he really wants to be working in Customer Service.

Has he lost his damn mind?!
