First Day

Today was my first day at Waitrose!

After sitting through a 2 hour training session on customer service (i know all the techniques now) i was brought down to the check-outs to start my initiation rites. There i was, the rather tall, amazonianly proportioned, tired looking girl watching gleefully over another's shoulder and listening to her explaining all the buttons and beepers whilst beeping things. I'd occasionally offer to pack a bag for a customer if they looked like they needed some help.

After the majority of the beeping had been explained to me it was my turn to have a go. Initially, it was quite challenging but after about 20 minutes i'd picked it up and was going at the speed of a normal person. I was able to process credit/debit card transactions, scan reduced items, give chash back and generally do what a check-out girl does best. Beep. I beep for £5.15 an hour. It goes up soon though.

I've been planning how to spend my pay cheque in my head for a while. It involves the GF and going out for some expensive meals. Also, buying her a coat and some clothes as she seems to drastically lack those. Today i asked "do you love me" and she said "yes, but i'm not sure in what way." I said i felt the same.
