My week started out.....Where ? In the Bakery. I was suppose to Demo Brownie Bites. But was asked to "Help" out in the Bakery instead. The person who actually works there waived a paper in my face & said......"Just follow whats on this list." Then left....leaving me there alone. (sigh) Holy Man ! I packaged everything from Rolls to Pies !........Got Cake Orders & took Cake Orders. Ran the price label making thingy. I had to draw the line at writing "Happy Birthday" on Pre-made cakes..........Because, when I make a home made cake......I normally buy those candy letters & stick them on the cake. I suggested this to a lady....& she just looked at me like I was some new strange type of bug she just discovered.
I was beat by the end of the day.
On Friday after work....my friend, another Demo lady & I went out for a fish dinner. We were talking about the Check-out line Demos. Well, we thought they had went away. Nobody had done one for a long time. The woman who was with us said.......the COS's were complaining we were in the way up there.......& a member complained, someone had put a bag of something she didn't even ask for in her shopping cart. (sigh) Then low & behold....bright & early on Saturday......the Check-out line Demos were back. I'm just happy I didn't have to do it.....because the product was Pistachio nuts........Gees !
So, I'm rolling along thinking.......Gee, I'm having a pretty decent week.......selling a lot of my product.......not doing to bad. My biggest "Fault" at work is....stopping to Talk to the other Demo ladies........Yes, I admit it. But, it seemed to me that when I did.......I'd look up to see someone staring at me. So, I kept thinking......"Move along....Move along."
On Sunday......I was frying up......chicken & cheese Quesadills. Sundays are short days.......& normally very slow anyway.......this Sunday there was a Football game (Who else.....Packers!). The Boss had pulled.......(put the boxes in the cooler to thaw out)......7 boxes of Quesadills........7 Boxes of 12 each !!!!!! I knew I wasn't going to use all them up. So, since they were Pre-wrapped.......I started to just hand them to people as they walked by (UN-cooked) to take them home with them. I had sold a lot of them. One Demo lady saw me doing this & yelled (From across the store)....."Shirl, I don't think you are suppose to be giving them out raw." I yelled back, "Why not, they are Pre-wrapped."........."Yes," she yelled,"But, they were frozen & now they are thawed out." Then she adds...."I'll call the Boss tonight & ask her." Jeepers Creepers ! I can't win. I get into trouble just standing there ! I dumped the rest in the trash. And, thought....if the Boss asks me about it........I can "Honestly" say......."Well, when she pointed this out to me, I put them in the trash." OK, I understand she was just trying to be Helpful. But, why didn't she just come up to my table & say it quietly....instead of yelling it from across the store ? I hate to be singled out.......& I hate ending a good week on that kind of note. So much for keeping my head down at work. As we were driving home, my friend told me......."You need to straighten up & fly right." Well, you know how they say......"There's ONE in every group ?" Well, I'm the ONE.
And now, I think I'll get ready to go down to help with the Noon Meal.......& see how bad I can mess that up.
