I'll share a funny moment from work the other day.
I work at Menards, from 5-11 AM Monday through Friday. It isn't a fabulous job, it gets boring, but I make better money than I made when I was a keyholder and the freight coordinator at Joanns...And Joanns is a whole other post for later!
But anyway, there was some cat food that didn't fit on the shelf, so I needed to put it up high as an overstock item. So I got a ladder and carried it up, and somehow ended up hitting myself in the face with the cat food and knocking my glasses askew.
I got it up there finally, and then went to tell Beth, a wonderful lady I work with, the story.
I told her and she started laughing, and she has a very contagious and loud laugh, so a customer came around the corner and turned to me and said "Well I didn't hear the story!"
I laughed, and said: "Well, I hit myself in the face with a bag of cat food".
The customer: "Why would you do that? All out of dog food?"
We all laughed at that, and then Beth turned back to me and asked if I'd looked around to see if anyone had seen me. I replied that I had and I didn't see anyone. I told Beth and the customer "You're the only two who know, so as long as you don't tell anyone I'm good!"
The customer laughed at me and said "Well...I suppose I can be bribed." He then asked me how long until I got off work, and I told him about 40 minutes. He replied, "well, I'd avoid the brick aisle for the next 40 minutes if you're having a klutzy day!"
I find that often times in retail, I have more cranky customers than nice ones, so I really appreciate when I come across someone who has fun and jokes around with you.
