Ok we are seriuosly short handed at work. Like way shorthanded both in number of people and quality of people and i swear everyday we start off short handed and then like 2 people call in or leave early or something. It is out of control. They haven't been partiucularly busy days but when there is noone else there really , it starts to wear on you!! RiteAid has the most ridiculous hiring proocess, my boss has been tyring to hire this girl for liek a month but there are like 7,000 steps to it and another kid who used to work for Eckerd but got terminated after not workkng there for three months didn't get past the preemployment quiz. Thye said he may not be desirable BUT HE ALREADY HAD WORKED THERE FOR 5 YEARS! It is so F'ed up. I hate RiteAid !

Tonight is the Emmy's, I believe they are my thridish favorite award show. I seriously love preshow extravaganzas though I am way behind as I just started watching the preshow a few minutes ago. I used to watch for hours , starting around noon. I need to get back into that. Those were good times. I just love random celebrity banter and super crazy questions asked in fancy gowns. I don't like that JOan Rivers is not on tv anymore and just on the web. I also find it funny that Ryan Seacrest is doing red carpet duty even though he is the host. He is quite the overachiever!

There I said it! Everyone always assumes I love it cuz it is my kinda thing. But I find him annoying and irritating. He is ugly and stupid. He thinks he is cool but he is not. I really don't like him. I don't find him entertaining/interesting or funny. I think his 15 minutes should be just about over (though I think they really are cuz you never hear about him as much anymore and now he is on that celebrity rapping show which really says HAS BEEN!) anywho. I don't like him, i've said it and i feel much better about it now.

So today was a super crazy day at my store. The morning starts off normal enough and then we get a call in for a prescription for Tramadol from a particular doctor who the pharmacist knew does not write prescriptions for tramadol. Also , there was a girl who used to phone in fake prescriptions using that doctor and we got her and i think she got arrested or what not like a year or two ago. Anyway, so we call the doctor and she told us their is a warrant out for the girl's arrest and to call this other number. So we do and so then our store is swarming wihtundercover federal marshalls. I am the only person who knows what the girl looks like first hand (the marshalls have a picture) so I need to ID her. so they are there for hours waiting and eventual we see her. Bonnie tries to take her time with her to make sure they notice and then the one ocmes up and arrests her WHEN...

...We HEAR an older woman screaming stop beating me, your hurting me, I'l doo whatever it takes etc etc from the ocugh and cold aisle. Only to see one of our regular customers , alike 70 year old woman, handcuffed and on the ground scremaing. She is the other girl's grandma and had come in the store with her. Whenthe cop said they needed to ask her some questions I guess she just started screaming and fell to the ground. there were many pepole there to wtiness that that did indeed happen and that she started fighting the cop....so her screaming for like an hour while their our cops swarming needless to say made other customers ask a lot of questions. The funny part is eveyrone said like "oh were they stealing " and we were just like prolly. SO I wonder if now eveyrone thinks we have a super strong anti-theft program.......

....so besides the screaming granmda who we never are really sure if she is involved or not, I guess today some people who are tyring to unionize the store came in today and my managaer told them to leave and then they got in a big fight, and one of the mioan cashiers quit...

...and we filled a super controlled narcotic for the wrong person, who got it and took it home and then the md called us wondering what happened...

...and I got fired/quit/relaized it doesn't fit in my scheudle to be a trainer for Rite Aid.......

...ok this story doesn't sound so crazy typed out but it really was like real crazyness in the store...

....oh i forgot the lady is claiming police burtlaity so like all the witnesses had to give statmetns and what not.

...oh and the topper, while all tihs was going down ALL THE BIGWIGS from the corporation happen to be in the store today. So it was real good, haha. I thin kthe loss prevention district guy may have accussed one of the US Marhsalls of stealing because they were loitering aroudn so long. This is the same guy who accused me of stealing cookies when I used to take them for Medicare Seminars to give to the seniors. I don't like him....anywho that was my crazy day

...oh and on the way to school tonigth I almost ran over the crazy kid from a previous journal I belive that treid to take both me and e;beast home in a rally weird crazy way

I absolutely hate when people's checks or credit cards are denied. I always try to pass it off like it is some computer glitch and not because they have 10,000 credit cards that are all maxed out and they try them all. It's so crazy I'll be like oh this crad isn't going through, "i don't know why it must be a mistake, you should call your bank" and then they just hand me card after card....after card until one goes through. Ok those people aren't so bad. But the people who get so embarassed I feel so bad. I try to make it as cool as possible but if you know me whenever I am trying to make something better by pretenidng it is nohting i end up making everything seem like a bigger deal like somehow I wll end up saying like :"your credit card was prolly stolen, your identity is slipping out of your hands as we speak, you should call your senator, they have prolly invaded your house laready and gotten your security code and safe deposit box".

Anyway moral of the story is I hate telling peopole their credit cards/chekcs are rejected...(or do I secretly love it) either way try and make sure your bills are good whne you come into my store...aight!
