I work at Lowe's.
I'm a Head Cashier, so basically I'm in charge of all the cashiers and making sure they do what they're supposed to, keeping the customers happy. Most of the time it's a crummy way to spend the day but really, I love my job and the pay is pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
Yesterday I was in the Garden Center helping one of the cashiers with a nasty customer. She was just downright rude and mean. He was trying to be polite but was having a hard time taking what she was dishing out...there's just so much a person can take before wanting to fire one back, kwim?
So, she needed 15 bags of cow manure loaded into the bed of her pickup. Now, I'm all for having the guys load the heavy stuff (these bags are 40 lbs each) but my poor cashier was angry so I told him I would do it. I'm not a petite thing by any means and I'm a toughie (at least in my own mind) and can pretty much handle most stuff.
So I started loading her bags, got about 9 bags in the truck.
It was windy yesterday and some of the bags had been poked or ripped so the manure was falling out and falling down in between the other bags of manure. Plus, it had been raining off and on for about 2 weeks. So there is a mixture of water and loose manure on some of the bags that I had to shake off. I picked up bag #10 and when I lifted it up, a big gust of wind caught me and lifted the bag, spraying my face, chest and neck with WET MANURE!
UGH!
I wiped off as best I could without having a hissy right there in front of the customer.
After she left I made a bee-line for the restrooms but low and behold, the girl at the customer service desk had more than 3 people in line (Lowe's policy is that no more than 3 people should be in a line and since I'm Head Cashier, I HAD to stop and help or my butt is wrote up).
So I'm standing there, checking people out with crap all over me (literally) and I'm talking...telling people their totals and stuff and I feel this crunch in my mouth.
Dude...cow manure in my mouth and I couldn't do anything about it.
I tried so hard not to swallow, but I had 2 more people in line to wait on so I'm like talking as if my mouth is numb and hoping to the good Lord above I dont start drooling.
Finally, the last customer left and I booked it to the water fountain and gargled about 5 times.
UGH! It was the most disgusting thing that has happened to me in a LONG time. I wanted to barf.
LOL
