1) No matter what you went into the cooler to get, it's at the bottom of the ten-box stack. Always.

2) Customers assume we know where everything is in the store. We don't. We know where everything is in the produce department, and will likely just take you to someone (ie, Grocery) who does know the rest of the store.

3) I have no idea how background music selection is done, but it's...strange. Things I can recall being played:

Queen - Breakthrough
Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Pat Benatar - Invincible
The Monkees - Now I'm A Believer (and I'm pretty sure it was this and not the Smash Mouth cover)
Linkin Park - In the End
Evanesence - something off of Fallen

Totally random, but not altogether that bad. Although I think I may have actually cracked up a little when the Linkin Park song came on, because God, I haven't heard that in years. I, uh, actually kind of like that song, even though I pretend I am above Linkin Park (I also like that Pat Benatar song, but will admit my fondness for really bad 80s pop).

4) I so called it about Yana talking to me about her lab every spare minute she could. Thank god we're at opposite ends of the store, so she can only babble at me on breaks, and not for eight hours straight, which will hopefully preserve my sanity.

5) The cardboard dumpster is about six inches too high to be with decent arm-reach, which means to chuck stuff in, you kind of have to jump up and down and look like an idiot.

I like this job so much better than lifeguarding. And unrelated, but Winter is the most awesome person ever, and I finally find out who my chem prof is tomorrow. Hooray!
