Are there unicorns in their world?

Turns out this inventory was one of the best they've seen for having just had a remodel. Yay us!

Zhaun was there till almost 1:00, and Bonnie was there until 1:30-1:45ish.

And that corporate guy, Harold, was totally flitting around trying to find something to peer over his glasses at you disapprovingly about. He decided that because my half gallon milk had three dates on it on the shelf we had move it down two shelves so it would sell better, to help out old people. I was speechless or I would have asked, "You mean all those half gallons I'm sold out of?" I still had 2% and indeed, I had one 02/05 and two 02/07s, everything else was 02/09. And, btw, if we do end up doing it I am not stocking the top shelf. It's bad enough putting gallons on the second shelf down. It would end up hurting my back, neck, and shoulders trying to keep the top shelf full, and, btw, no one would buy from the top shelf. People already don't buy from the second shelf down.

I told Zhaun what happened with the yogurt, about how everyone just HAD to have 20-30 cups of each flavor on Friday, and he said, "First of the month it always happens." And I said, "It was the 28th."

And then I was watching for Bonnie and Bret came back all flustered and said, "We have to get someone in dairy." As if I hadn't been in dairy all day. And there was was nothing to do in dairy. And I even asked him, "Why?" and he said to fill the yogurt. I told him we didn't have any more and explained it to him and he told me to face it over or Harold would be angry. Oooo, yes, let him get angry at us over something we have absolutely no control over. I hope everyone who bought tons of yogurt really, really enjoys it because it's caused pain and suffering.

I bet if I hadn't reserved my copy of that book I'd have been able to walk into Borders today and pick it up off the shelf. Because I think they're treating my "reserve a copy" as an order from the site that's being shipped to the store instead of my home. But, like I said, I wouldn't have been able to read it today anyway.

While doing yogurt, I saw a woman out of the very, very corner of my eye lurking behind me, so I ignored her. I don't have eyes in the back of my head and don't need to be letting customers know that we do have eyes in the backs of our heads by acknowledging the presence of someone I barely caught a glimpse of because I happened to catch the very front of a cart in the very back of my eye. Which she did say "excuse me" after a few moments, and I could tell right away, just from the instant I looked at her that she was going to be trouble. She asked if there was anyone I could ask about a product she was looking for, as if I were a lowly minion. I asked her what it was and she said it was some Mexican chocolate or other, I don't remember what she called it. I mentally walked past the Mexican food section and didn't see it, so I told her if it wasn't by that stuff it would be by the rest of the chocolate on aisle 17 and if it wasn't there we didn't carry it. She seemed miffed that I didn't know it's exact coordinates and walked away, apparently semi-satisfied with going to look with the candy. But a little bit later I heard the front desk page for Julie, and I guess Bret got it cause he walked past me and went down aisle 5, which is where the Mexican food is, and I guess he cycled up to the desk to tell her we don't carry it, cause he came back up one of the frozen aisles.You know, she could have avoided all that by just listening to me.

Later I had a guy who was in front of the frozen section ask where french fries were!!! I said, "Frozen? In the frozen foods section." and pointed behind him.
