If you will remember my last entry about me an my potty mouth in case you are wondering that is not what I got in trouble for. To make a long story short I made a few too many screw ups in the checkstands, so I had to sign this neat little paper and agree to under threat of "further disciplinary action up to and including termination" not do it again. I only wish they gave me a copy of that as you can never have too much extra toilet paper. I got suspended and almost fired back in June for some bullshit technicality so this isn't the most amount of trouble I have been in by a long shot but it sure turned a day that otherwise wasn't that bad into a major bummer.

I am already a dairy clerk so I already have enough to worry about as it is, but most dairy clerks also function as backup checkers so in case you are wondering why they are having me do both, well there is your answer.

Until only a few months ago this was not the case though, when I was first promoted from General Merchandise Clerk to Clerk my typical shift was 4AM-1PM so I was at least on paper night crew. I was taken off that shift and eventually made a dairy clerk after a few too many knee injuries but was still not put in the checkstands due to concerns from management about my ability to stand for prolonged periods of time. Fast forward a few years and some company higher ups say "hey guess what you are going to be in the checkstands." Of course I want nothing to do with it but I am left with no choice so I go to a special retraining and then a week later my hell truly began.

For those of you that don't know I have a mild form of Autism, and well to put it bluntly I am going to try to milk that a little so I can hopefully go back to being just a dairy clerk and not having to worry about the stupid ass checkstands. Of course if that dosen't work I guess I am just going to have to step down and be a General Merchandise Clerk again, but that ladies and gents hopefully won't be necessary. But if it is I suppose it is not the end of the world, I don't plan on being stuck in that hellhole for the rest of my life anyway.

Seeing as I am starting to ramble a bit I will make my next blog post a list of reasons why I shouldn't be in the checkstands, until then stay classy.
