A Beekeeper's Wife (to Bee)

My last post about work was very negative and even though I still feel the same about most of the issues I have decided to make a more positive approach to work.

1) As a cashier I never have to go outside and bring in carts. In Lethbridge we have service clerks that bring them in. Yay! No more freezing my butt off in the wintertime!

2) The children's carts in Lethbridge are hidden away and not allowed to go outside. This makes bringing in carts a lot easier for the service clerks.

3) While the a lot of the employees are a little on the.. sketchy.. side most of them have been with Save On for more many many years and know what they are doing, even if they might need a bath.

4) While not everyone wears there uniform the management is trying to get people to wear them by doing contests and one day they even went through and wrote everyone up that wasn't dressed properly. A lot of the employees still didn't care but at least they are trying.

5) I am never bored because either there is a lot of customers or there is a lot to clean. By the time I leave Save On the place should be spotless :-P

6) The customer are a lot friendly than the ones in St.Albert and a lot more understanding. I ask the customer if they want there milk in a bag and they laugh like its a ridiculous question and say no. In St.Albert, for the most part, everything had to be bagged and bagged separately. Pork does not go with beef and beef does not go with chicken and if you did watch out!

7) When customers bring in cloth bags they usually offer to bag them themselves which is really nice. Cloth bags slow down the line if when you are fighting with them and trying to put the groceries in without squishing anything. It's really nice!


I think I am going to print this list out and put it in my apron and next time when I have to pass a group of police officers arresting some people of questionable character to get to my car I will take this list out and read and reread it.

Have a great Saturday!
