Victory is mine!

Work:
Yesterday I went in to work for a conference call and saw that the Kroger Value cheese was back in my egg case. Which annoyed me but I ignored it. Today though, first thing, I took the cheese out of the egg case and put it in a box. Bret came by moments later...
Bret, "Where'd all that cheese go that was in the egg case?"
Me, "I took it out just now."
Bret, "Put it back that's where it goes."
Me, "In the egg case!?"
Bret, "Yes."
Me, "But there's plenty of room in the rest of the cheese."
Bret, "Well that's where they want it so put it back."
Me, "I'm losing sales in eggs."
Bret, "Well we're getting that remodel and you can't just change something if you don't like it."
Me, "I know but they haven't remodeled the dairy yet."
Bret, "Ok, show me where do you see room to put the cheese down here?"
Me, "Well, let's see, here."
Bret, "This doesn't need double facings, and that doesn't. Why does this have three facings?"
Me, "Yeah, I know, I already looked at this. Me and Julie had actually already agreed and told Darby who also agreed."
Bret, "Ok, you can take it out. But I don't own the store..."
Me, "I know, if they tell me to put it back I will. I think the cheese will sell better down there anyway. I wouldn't look for cheese down here if I was a customer."
Bret, "Yeah and then they see this down here and put down cheese they picked up from over there... ok, yeah, you're right."
HA! I scored big right there. I have never argued with him like that before. And I won.

Oh, and I forgot to put my swipe card back in my apron so I had to clock in using the computer. Oops.

Shortly after my victory with the cheese Zhaun told me to pick up this one wheeler that had fallen over that had a bunch of broken olives all over the floor. ugh. Gross. And I dribbled olive juice on my clothes. My nice clean ones that I just washed yesterday.

The remodel seems to be coming along. I had forgotten about the bathrooms until Brittany (a bagger who is friendly to me for some reason, she's nice, I like her) complained about it. They did go ahead and make the Men's Room into the Women's Room so we whined about that together. Apparently enough women complained about this that they changed it so the men stay in the Men's Room and we get the unisex. Yay!! Another victory, although this one didn't have anything to do with me. They still haven't fixed the lock on the unisex though, been broken for about a month now. Oh, well. At least I don't have to go in the icky men's room.

They're also rearranging all the aisles. So a note to anyone in the area: There are going to be some good markdowns in the coming week or two! I saw on the schedule for next week that Newbie-Joe (his subtitle is due to there already being a Joe at work) is scheduled for four days of markdowns. Wow.

They have floral all plasticked off. And of course the women's bathroom is roped off as well. And all the decor is down from all the walls. And for some reason one of the lights up front is off.

I think it's ironic that I have to help put the store through a remodel right before I quit. And I know I titled this blog in such a way to make you think this would be showcasing my transition from living in town to living in the middle of nowhere. But right now there's not a lot to talk about except setting the scene, saying why I'm leaving. It's not till next year that things will really pick up.
