I got a job as a front end cashier. I thought it would be an easy and casual job. I did good in my interview and survived the boredom tolerance test orientation. I was wrong. We have to memorize random codes for vegetables and learn this computer system that has three screens (what ever happened to the old fashioned till, which is what I grew up on) and you have to know how to do about 23 three different things in case the customer complains. I could not absorb the information fast enough; I was the slowest in my class.
I am greatful to my dear friend Carol who told me to go and try; I am glad I tried. I got pulled off in the middle of the exam, and the trainer was nice about it, and I got relieved of my duties. They said they would call me back in september, so I will look for a job that I will not dread going to…
