WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.120 Working at the lunch lines was great, but it didn't pay squat. 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.680 I needed some money for college, so I got a job working in retail. I worked at a place called Dollar Tree. 00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:09.640 Unlike the scam artists over at the 00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:16.800 99-cent store, everything at Dollar tree was in fact a dollar. There was Claudia, she was a sweetie. Monica, 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.250 she was chill. The Spawn of Satan 00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:22.769 Helen, she threatened to bash my head into the wall. And Mark, the General Manager. This one time, 00:00:22.769 --> 00:00:27.040 he made fun of how I owned a watch to check the time and not a phone. 00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:27.960 *sniff* 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.540 I was poor. ;n; My job at Dollar Tree was simple enough. I was a cashier and when I had no one in line 00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:38.380 I would clean up the front of the store. Okay. Yeah, so some work stories. 00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:41.780 I was working the night shift when this lady comes up two minutes before we have to close. 00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:47.180 I let her in. Reluctantly. She walks in the store and kind of just stumbles around talking to herself. 00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:50.740 I just wanted to go home at that point. Hurry up, lady. 00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:56.720 She barely makes it over to the counter and grab some random candy out of the bins. "Okay, your total is $3." 00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:00.380 "Hey you know, you've got some pretty eyes." 00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:03.360 "Oh, uh, really? Thanks." 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000 "Ooh, and that body." 00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.260 "You've got something going on there." 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:09.920 "Uhh..." 00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:11.560 "T-thanks?" 00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:14.100 "So, where are you going after this, beautiful?" 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.700 "Uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." 00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:25.420 "I'll take it from here." I've never been hit on by a girl before much less a 60 year old drunk one? 00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:26.140 *lol* 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:29.160 So I was pretty confused. Speaking of old people, 00:01:29.160 --> 00:01:30.100 *heh* 00:01:30.380 --> 00:01:35.320 Old people. Old people would come in and ask for Senior discounts? 00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:36.180 "It's a dollar." 00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:41.840 One of the worst jobs you had to do when working at Dollar Tree was filling up balloons. The Dollar Tree was always understaffed. 00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:46.860 So while the manager was usually unboxing merchandise, it would just be me up at the front alone 00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:50.820 Blowing up balloons took quite awhile, and if there were many people in line 00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:54.860 you would have a potential mess on your hands. This one time, I had a full line of people 00:01:54.860 --> 00:02:00.420 I was checking out. This guy comes up out of nowhere, not even in line, and says, 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.380 "Yeah, I'm gonna need 50 balloons. 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:07.700 Right now. I have to leave for a party in five minutes." 00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.160 *cough cough* 00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:13.480 "I'm sorry, what?" "Hey I don't have all day." 00:02:13.880 --> 00:02:17.100 "There's nowhere I could get it done in five minutes! Do you not see the HUGE line 00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:21.960 I'm in right now?!" Is what I would have said instead, I just stood there like a spaz- 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:22.860 *chuckles* 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:23.900 *t R i G g E r E d* 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:27.480 Luckily, I had a nice manager on staff that day that took over balloon duty. 00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:31.880 Another thing about balloons was that, we were always out of the smiley face balloon. 00:02:32.020 --> 00:02:36.420 Everyone always asked for it since it was an option. But for three months, we didn't have the shipment. 00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:42.180 I was slowly going insane each time someone asked for, "Balloon 3-45." I was a pretty good cashier 00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:47.310 if I do say so myself. You come to my line with fifty something normal items, and I would just go, 00:02:47.310 --> 00:02:48.820 *intense cashiering* 00:02:48.820 --> 00:02:55.700 "Done! Here's your change. Boom." Then, there were THOSE people. They would come up to the line with 50 wineglasses- 00:02:55.709 --> 00:03:02.999 Why was it always wineglasses? They would usually show up when the line was completely empty and once they arrived everyone in the store- 00:03:03.130 --> 00:03:07.559 It's like they were on some kind of Magnetic pole. Oh! she is checking out 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.840 I better check out with her! And usually the people in line would then complain that they had to wait. It's like dude 00:03:13.940 --> 00:03:14.720 Where were- 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:18.460 Where were you when the line was empty? I would have to stand there, 00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:22.860 take 20 minutes wrapping all these wineglasses in a bunch of newspaper. 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.860 *deep inhale* 00:03:25.100 --> 00:03:25.720 UGHH 00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:31.900 Sometimes people would come back to the store with open boxes of food and complain that they didn't like it, so they wanted a refund. 00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:33.700 "It's a DOLLAR." 00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:36.940 I would see some of the same customers come in from time to time. 00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:40.220 Such as this one homeless guy to buy t-shirts and 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:47.440 And a few old ladies that always bought greeting cards. This one time I ran out of ones, fives, and tens in my register because 00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:49.080 it was a very busy day 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:55.300 So I had to give 12 dollars in change to a customer in quarters, and nickels, and dimes. 00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:57.280 I didn't want to call Helen. *laugh* 00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:58.500 *inhale* 00:03:58.500 --> 00:04:03.140 If someone called up Dollar Tree to ask if there was a specific item, I would usually tell them no. 00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:09.220 Either because I was busy with a line or I was too lazy to check. Like people, there's a website. 00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:12.160 Check it yourself. I don't have timeee. 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:13.820 Okay, so one more story. 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.480 A lady came in on a slow day and put like 200 items on the counter. 00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:21.340 As usual, people started stacking up behind her and started to get impatient. 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.020 "Okay, your total is $220.15. 00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:25.500 Cash or credit?" 00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:27.120 "Cr-credit, please?" 00:04:27.340 --> 00:04:32.560 I tried ringing up her card but, "It-it says the card is denied." 00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:33.820 "T-try this one." 00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:37.300 I had to try like five different cards before she said, 00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:39.840 "Oh. O-oh yeah. Uh... 00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:45.220 You know what, just stay right there. I'm gonna transfer some money into my account. I'll be back in five minutes." 00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:49.080 She ran out of the store, and I thought, "Well, okay? 00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:52.640 I guess I'l, I'll wait, then?" We put all the stuff 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.260 She wanted to buy back in a cart, but she never came back. 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.760 The items she chose were random. 00:04:58.820 --> 00:05:02.000 They were basic living items. Like plates, 00:05:02.340 --> 00:05:04.060 cleaning supplies, 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:08.020 food... I just hope that, that lady wasn't 00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:11.880 going through something serious or running away from something. 00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:14.260 So I-I don't know. 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.700 It was just kind of weird. Once Youtube kicked off, 00:05:17.700 --> 00:05:20.640 I haven't needed to go back to Dollar tree since the pay is terrible. 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.100 I don't plan on ever going back really, but I mean 00:05:26.020 --> 00:05:27.939 I might have to. *heh* 00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:29.680 because of- *inhale* 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.680 Look at these stats. 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.680 MMMMMM *lols* 00:05:36.580 --> 00:05:40.700 But anyway, I hope you guys liked this video.
