NEW TECH CASHIER!!

OMG, okay, so here I am 70 years old and a cashier at Publix. There are at least 100,000 numbers in produce and Vidalia Onions. I guess you could say that that is a start! And, then there is the scanner on the register. If you don’t move it the right direction immediately, it scans again. Well, once you void more than $10 of product, you need a supervisor to fix it. Actually, I am surprised that one just has not pulled up a chair at my register while I am there!! Most of the baggers are men and not only are they slow, when they take someone’s groceries to the car, it seems they must walk around the parking lot for a while to avoid coming back so soon. Then, when they get there, they are aggravated that you have been bagging (taking their jobs, you know!!) This certainly is a learning experience. So far, I have not had two days in a row! So, while it is technically “part time”, it is difficult to plan your life because you get only a week schedule at a time! Certainly a test of humor for me. However, it does take my mind off the fact that I am really living all by myself. Oh well. Tomorrow I am going down to Parris to visit my friend, Barb, and Hopefully play a little golf + look at a new t.v. Perhaps I will also have many visitors now that I am back in the “Sunshine State”. Will keep you posted. Thanks for checking. Love, Ricci
