Markdowns, yay!

Work:
This morning the grocery truck was in first thing. But first I had to empty the garbages. So I got it offloaded and went and filled the eggs. After that George came with the truck for returns. He had waited till it was daylight so I wouldn't have to mess around in the dark. Behind the store is a lot of junk, so much that most the returns had been stuffed down in front of the compactor.

After returns I had plenty of time to do stuff. But around 9:45, just as I was really looking forward to my break, dairy/deli/frozen showed up. And the driver had a bad arm (15 stitches, couldn't lift anything) so I asked Zhaun if I could have Joe help me offload, and Zhaun just made fun of me, went on about how I'm young and strong and can do it myself. Bret overrode him and told Joe to help me. haha! Bret also saw what a mess it was, with me clearing the hallway, taking out meat dept's pallets, and was all annoyed and bothered and said, "You shouldn't have to do all that, I'll fix this someday, I promise". Empty though that may be it was still nice to hear. Really nice, actually.

Keith and Rowan were clearing out room to get to the trailer so they could get some nonfoods off it and I told them to put the pallets out of the way so I could get the truck offloaded and of course they looked at me blankly and I ended up moving the pallets later, with Rowan trying to help because he's a good kid. And they said maybe the pallets they wanted were on the other trailer and I had to point out (three times before they got it!) that it was new freight, just pulled in, could not possibly have the nonfoods stuff they wanted. And they were all confused because there were some pallets of turkeys in the front and Bob said the entire trailer was full of turkeys, which I knew wasn't possible. Especially since I saw totes back behind the turkeys. So Bret had them pull off the turkeys and rearange everything so the nonfoods stuff was on one side and turkeys on the other. It was nearly an hour till I really got going on the truck. But then around 11 Dustin came in so I made him take over and I went on break.

The rest of the day passed fast and I left about 20 minutes late.

Got a lot of good markdowns though! A large thing of vinegar for 1.25 or something, clothespins for 60 cents, some tools or other for 2.00 I figured Victor could use them and he was happy when I showed them to him, ice cream for 2.00, clothesline for I don't remember how much, hair stuff (a pretty barrette, pins, and a large brush with a minibrush that has a mirror on the handle), and some other things I don't remember what all. Seaweed for 50 cents a packet, I only got two cause we don't use it often enough to buy any more with an expiration date of May. Electrical tape. Honey. Ketchup. Lemonade.
