Well, I filled them up and it took an hour, then I went down to Garden and did their carts. Patty was down there and saying they need some. I said they have 3 rows on the sidewalk part. She said they need some on the curb where they can get to them easily. I said that the 3 rows by the pop machines were right by the door and a lot easier to get to. She said those won't last 10 minutes. So I put some by the curb like she asked, and then went back to the front to find out they were very low on carts. I looked at the clock and I had only been in Garden for half an hour. I started filling up those, but was losing ground. Then Kristen and Phil came out because they were told that I couldn't keep the carts full. Kristen said that no one called for help for her when she was by herself and that I have a better handle on them than she did. Phil said I must have been slacking. So we took the motorized cart-pusher to get all the random carts and while we were gathering a group of them, this lady came with one and said that we could have been nice and gotten that one out of the way so she could park. Afterward, Phil said, "Aww, did we hurt her feelings?" I suggested we get her a card to make her feel better.

Tracy dumped her fiance in Michigan because she found out he was cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend. She's now unofficially with James, though he denies it and asked me why she was saying they were going out. I don't really care about the whole situation. But she did say something to me about the hour-cuts. Most people are getting their hours cut. Tracy said that it was so that Ted, the district manager with a heavy Texan accent, could get his big bonus. Bonnie is missing 6 hours for one of the weeks. My hours have been cut like maybe 1 hour, so that's no big deal. I just work a little later to make up for it, anyway. But John, the store manager, whom everyone likes, said he'd boost people's hours. He's near retirement. Tracy said she heard Ted tell John that if he boosted their hours, he'd fire him and he'd lose his retirement. That's pretty sad, if it's true. He doesn't need a freakin' bonus. Is he bored of what he makes that he'd like to have even more extra? Well, at least it's not affecting me much, since I'm someone they need there a lot. Kristen was over 6 minutes for the week one time and got talked to about it. I've been over a few hours and never heard about it. I wonder what it is about me.
