So, things are going pretty well at Staples. Yesterday I started hands-on training on the register. Not too bad! I picked things up pretty quickly, and even the managers told me so. I did, however, make a few mistakes. My first few transactions were cash sales, and the cash drawer opens for those. When someone used their debit card and the cash drawer opened, I just thought the drawer opened for every sale. I closed the drawer, and gave the guy his receipt, and he just looked at me like, um...? He said, "I wanted cash back." I called my trainer over, and she helped me get the register open and give him the cash back he wanted. Omg, I am so lucky he was nice and patient. Anyways, he got his money, and things were ok after that. I made other mistakes, but since my badge says "in training", most people were very understanding.
Tomorrow, they're going to train me in the cash office. I feel like that's a sign that I'm doing well. =)
On a side note, the shoes I wore today are very squeaky. It was irritating me, so I'm sure it was irritating other people, too. My sister and I are going to go to Fred Meyer tonight and get me some different shoes to wear. Hopefully they'll be more comfortable, too. My tootsies are kind of hurting!
I'm enjoying my job, the people I work with are nice, and most of the customers seem to be in a good mood. I'm sure I'll have harder days, but both yesterday and today went well!
