Chu's First REAL Job

Hello, on this site just like others I will be known as Chu aka. Chuash I've just recently moved in back with my parents until I am able to keep me and my fiance stable with money. Yes, I am engaged. I'm 18. I know that I am considered to be young, but who says that you have to get married right away after you get engaged? Nobody. I starting working at CVS/Pharmacy on October 15th, 2006. This is what my blog is about.

CVS/Pharmacy 8-5 (11-2-06) Stuff Up a Hot Butt

Remember the sopositories and the old man?

Well... I was stocking the candy when some old guy came up to me. Different old man, but wow. Was I surprised.

The first thing to come out of his month was, "Do you have anything that I can stick up my butt?" He said it with a serious face. So I wasn't sure if he was joking or not.

I was shocked to hear this so I said, "Umm... like what stuff are you talking about?"

He told me he needed something cold because his butt was all hot on the inside.

I pointed him into a random direction and walked off... confused.

CVS/Pharmacy 1-10 (11-3-06) Meds: A Need in Life

Pretty much nothing happened. Just me and two girls were closing. Their "names" are: Sam and Zip. Sam works in photo and Zip is the assigned manger... 15 minutes before the store closed a phone call came in. I picked it up.

I said, "Hello, this is CVS. How can I help you?" He then asked me right away if this is a 24-hour store. "No" I tell him, "This store will become 24-hours on the 24th of this month."

He then said some random crap but I comprehended it like this, "The auto-matic teller asked me if I wanted a 24-hour store. I picked that and it gave me this number."

I then explained to him again that this store won't be 24-hours until the 24th. He asked me where there would be a 24-hour CVS.

Not knowing what to do I did the next best thing. I asked him a 24-hour store of CVS or just one in general. He didn't answer so I told him, "There isn't a 24-hour store of CVS in ******* County from what I know of, but Ralphs is just a couple minutes away is."

I guess that somehow made him mad so he wanted to talk to my manager. I told Zip that he wanted to talk to a manager. She told me to put him on hold. I should have told him, "Sir a manager will be with you in a second. Can you hold please?" But I just put him on hold without a word.

She picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Zip. How can I help you?" No clue what was said between that and when he hung up, but she called the store manager right away. I guess the dude was on his way to the store.

The guy showed up angry and was saying we were trying to trick him to not come to the store by saying that it was closing.

Yes, we did say the store was closing, but that was because it was 15 minutes till Ten. We close at Ten.

Zip had the store manager on the phone and asked the guy if he wanted to talk to him. He said yes and they started to discuss who knows what.

After he finished talking to the store manager he basically gave us a lecture that only lasted about three minutes. A total of two minutes talking and one minute of giving us stares. I got the longest stare of all.

Honestly, the way this guy was acting. I took off anything that belonged to me that was either expensive or breakable. I was getting ready to fight if I had to.

Nothing happened. The guy left. After he did, the store manager called back and Sam picked up the phone. She started to cry and handed the phone to Zip. I went over to her and held her because she was scared to death. The way this guy was acting she thought he was going to pull out a gun or something like that.

Zip finished up the phone called and we got our stuff. Closed up the store. Zip left in her car while I waited with Sam until her ride came.

Its crazy because this very same day... I asked the store manager if I can work on the grave-yard shift when it starts.

CVS/Pharmacy 1-10 (11-2-06) Another Random Day

Today will be a post of stuff I've learned over the past few years that I did today.

To people that talk shit on others. Please make sure your zipper is closed before doing so because it makes you look retarded when doing so and makes me laugh.

To people that go to stores and use carts then push them hella far in the park lot. Stop because I hate you. It isn't that much fun to push a cart back to the store. Well.. It is fun when there is only one and I can ride it. :P

If you have a friend that gets scared very easily. Scare them a lot because in the end. It would seem like you have helped them because they don't get scared easy anymore.

Everything can get you addicted. From playing Final Fantasy to drinking Monster Energy Drinks.

CVS/Pharmacy 8-5 (11-2-06) Cat or Bear?

Today was a nice day until this little old lady came into the store... Actually she made my day even better.

Three of my associates saw this lady change the price on a plant... Why they didn't confront her about it and came to give me the heads up... I will never know why.

So the little old lady comes up to my register and starts trying to make nice conversation. The plant she was trying to get had an animal next to the side of the plant container. She asked me what kind of animal it was... It was a fucking cat.

She kept saying she thinks it isn't a cat... So I had to point out the main features of one. She came out with, "Oh, I thought it was a bear."

Me, still being nice, ask her if she still wants the item since it isn't a bear. She tells me yes that it is ok still.

Now for everybody that has ever worked in a store should know that when there is a price change on an item that has a sticker on it. Another sticker with the new price is placed it on. Yes? If you disagree... Just nod and smile.

I look for the price on the item and it turns out... It is on the bottom of the plant. I flip it on the side expecting to see just another sticker on the normal price tag. That is what I found... But this one was hanging on for dear life.

I explained to the lady that I can't scan this item so I will need to go check the prices on the other plants. I actually don't... What I do is watch her from far away and just waste my time.

After waiting for not even a minute... I watched this lady run or power walk out of the store.

P.S. I finished the cigs today :P

CVS/Pharmacy 8-5 (11-1-06) Price Check Please

So if nobody knows about Savons... They were bought over by CVS. Not sure if I mentioned that before... but now I have.

We've been done with the remodeling for about two weeks. At the front of the store is a price check machine that the customers can use so if there was a case that we had long lines they can just go and check the price themselves.

This was one of those days we had a stupid customer. My fault... This whole blog is about stupid customers >.<

We had a long line which meant: Do the stuff fast and get them out of there. This old lady... she comes up to me and asks me to do a price check on an item. I see no problem in that so I do it. I tell her the price and expect her to just leave.

She comes out with, "Can you check these other items?" I peek over the counter to see a cart full of stuff and I do my sigh motion.

I slapped her across the face and called her a bitch right on impact to make the sudden scene very drastic. LoL... Actually I just asked her to go the price check thingy and to do it herself.

The price check machine. It is a machine that is s'posed to make the customer's life easier. When you walk into the store you can see it sticking out of the asile with a sign hanging from the ceiling saying, "Price Check Verify." with an arrow pointing down.

When I asked her to go do it herself... I guess I shocked her with my "customer service" because she asked me where it was. I politely told her the location of this odd mysteries machine to her.

"You must go into the cave of no return!!!"

She still didn't get what the fuck I was talking about so I just ignored her... Just like that :P
Thinking I was retarded or something... she left.
