Bit of a week. I had to play "musical chairs" with one of my prescriptions. I wasn't able to go to the pharmacy I first sent it to due to work and medical commitments. Then, I tried to send it to a pharmacy by my specialist's office and promptly forgot. Finally, I just used the pharmacy in my work location. Four days of that!
Work has been good. Regular shifts, solid sales. I did have a (in retrospect) funny encounter with an older woman who wanted help, but took personal offence at every phone I offered, rejecting entire shelves of devices for this and that reason. She was also angry that I didn't have any displays to show her right then and there. The kicker? She had at least six feet to go to see the phones she was interested in (and some of her vaunted displays), but she refused to move even after I asked her five times if she wanted a closer look.
If the old lady wants to act like she's five, stamping her foot and saying "I'm not moving!", that's her prerogative, but it should keep her from being taken seriously when she goes into "Karen" mode. Which is what happened here. She got what she thought was a friendly face and lied about how the "Big Bad Salesman" was rude to her, tried to sell her a phone she didn't want, ordered her around (which was hilarious, given her refusal to move earlier) and then ordered that I be punished.
Her friendly face was actually my friendly face, so nothing came of it, but how aggravating!
Got my "Friday" shift in a short while, and after that... I don't know.
