There are many things we rather not do but we have to do to pay the bills. Working at the grocery store, we do not have control over the shifts we work. Our schedule fluctuates from week to week due to other clerks availability. We can work one late night and the next morning we have to open the store or if there’s a wet clean up of vinegar on aisle 11. Either one of these scenarios would cry out the most annoying phrase ever, “that sucks.” We know what we go through and what we have to do everyday. So even if its a part of our job we don’t need the customers to remind us how bad it is.
Here are a few scenarios…
Didn’t do the countdown on New years Eve… That Sucks!
Can’t attend the family BBQ because of work on New Years… That Sucks!
Working til Closing… That Sucks!
Someone called in sick and you have to stay… That Sucks!
No beads around your neck on Mardi Gras because of work… That Sucks!
Working on 4th of July… That Sucks!
20 customers in line and only 2 checkers… That Sucks!
Someone missed the urinal… That Sucks!
Had TV dinners instead of eating at home on Thanksgiving… That Sucks!
Working on your birthday… That Sucks!
etc…
My most memorable That Sucks! moment:
I was hanging out with this girl and I tried to make a huge impression on her when she asked what I did:
Me: I’m the (PIC) person in charge at the grocery store.
Hot Girl: That Sucks!
Me: …
Hot Girl: Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just temporary right?
