This is something that happens at least once a week. I work at a retail store that also sales furniture. It was just me and a manager in that morning and it was already a little busy. A furniture truck decided to show up unscheduled with only 10 minute notice. So, my manager had to unload the truck while I stay on the register. The second she starts unloading the truck a person shows up to pick up a dresser and two people in the store are asking about pieces of furniture. I can’t leave the register so I have to tell these people they’ll have to wait which goes over as good as you expect.
Then to top it off, two people show up for interviews at 11 and our manager didn’t come in till 12. Because corporate uses this automated text interview that schedules interviews whenever it feels like.
Let’s just say I was about ready to put my head through a wall that day.
