- Card machines were down so we were cash-only today. Customers kept draining my £1 coins by paying with notes or didn't have cash on them so I had to hold their things while they got money out. One woman had a £70 shop and she came back just as I was about to clock off.
- Had a stuck up cow who didn't read the "technical difficulties with card payments" sign and got really shitty with me for not mentioning that we couldn't do card payments before I scanned her stuff through, so said she wasn't going to bother and walked out.
- Another dumb fuck referred to me as a lady to their kid. I may have my hair tied back into a ponytail but I quite clearly have a beard and you heard me talking to the customer in front of you, and I don't exactly sound feminine.

I finally got a couple of Saturdays off work, since I've been doing 10-6 shifts every Saturday for the past 3 months, only to find out I'm working the next 3 Saturdays again. Possibly more.
It was nice catching up with the charity shop lot while it lasted.
I missed my till buddy especially.

New Supervisor didn't turn up for work. Wouldn't be a problem
if he wasn't the one opening the shop.
This happened again. Only this time I was doing the early with him so it was my turn to call around and tell my coworkers what's happened and get a keyholder in to open up. We opened half an hour late and he turned up at half 12 claiming his alarm clock didn't go off.
He has a meeting with our area manager on Friday which didn't look good to begin with because of what happened last time, and this shit happening again has pretty much sealed his fate.
