it's Sunday...we ride!

I hardly ever talk about what happens at work unless someone is complaining about not being able to use their coupons because everything they got was on sale. That still irks me, you know?
So today, I show up and I'm the only cashier there. I was informed I was going to be the only cashier there for another two hours. I'm okay with that, it just means I couldn't take my break and I really like my break because I usually eat then even though I only have 15 minutes. Yes, I eat before I leave the house, but if you know me, you know I eat often. There I am, doing fine at first, just some vacuuming, refolding some blankets and filing some tax exempt forms. Then, I guess church let out because everyone showed up at once and wanted to use their coupons on their sale items. I had about ten people or so in line, with the phone ringing and other customers standing at the door asking where various things were located in the store. The piece "The Ride of the Valkyries" kept going through my head, but I got some help from a manager and a stock person and everything was cool....for about 20 minutes when the wave started again. Finally some relief showed up and I got to eat my penne pasta with basil creme sauce and life was good again.
