Okay, today I worked 1-9. There's a newer guy that came in and was supposed to work 5-9. He tells me he isn't feeling well due to a burger he had a few days ago. I say okay fine...just take it easy and if you're not up to it take a break. (this guy's heavy-set, complains about his feet and back being hurt, PLUS being lactose intolerant don't exactly do well in a cheese shop, but hey.)
We go about business as normal; I tell him that the supervisor asked us to clean the bottom part of the displays where our cheese is stored, but volunteer myself since he does a good job cleaning anyways. Since it was nearing 5:30 and I hadn't had my half-hour break yet, I tell him I'm going to take it, then when I get back I start on the cleaning of that certain part. The guy says okay. I go take my break. I come back, and he's not there. I figure he's on his 15-minute break, so I go and do what I can cleaning that section. 15 minutes go by. He's not back. I do some more stuff, check my watch. 20 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour goes by...STILL he didn't show. I talk to the supervisor and let him know what's up, and he was just upset in thinking that this guy would just 'walk out' and not get away with it...but asked me to talk to the manager on duty to see if he was still in the store, or at least get any info about if he left without telling anyone. Turned out...the guy wasn't feeling well - stomach virus or something - so he told the manager and got sent home. And here ~I~ was waiting for him tog et back so we could get everything taken care of...so now I had a hour and a half before I was supposed to get out, and I had the usual cleaning stuff to do ON MY OWN when I should normally have about 1/4 of the way through the closing procedures and on my way to collecting the cheese displays around our store.
In other words...
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt like one of those headless chickens running around trying to get stuff done! I want to strangle something right now!!!!!!
