Have you ever tried those strips that go across the bridge of your nose and are supposed to open up your sinuses?
They
Work
GREAT!
But they sure do look dorky. I rolled over one night and I had one on. My wife woke me up she was laughing so hard.
But that's not my complaint
They work well because they stick to your nose, and they don't let go.
Ever.
Have you ever had those pore cleansing strips that go across your nose and clean EVERYTHING out? Yeah, know how well those stick? These nasal strips stick more than those. When you DO finally get them off, they rip your entire face off with them. They don't even clean out your pores! You'd think that they would at least get something out, but no. A little disappointing.
An Edit as of 5 days after original post written... It has come to my attention that some people now think I wear these every night. I don't. I will admit to the occasional snoring, but these don't really help me with that. I really only use these when I have a cold. They help me breathe at night. That's really it. Don't go thinking that I have to look extra dorky every night. There are plenty of nights that allow me to look naturally dorky without the aid of a nasal strip...

Im closed!
So, I've recently moved to another position at my workplace. This particular move was a promotion, meaning more money. Excellent. It also means a LOT more work. Not a big deal. I knew that.
What I didn't expect, was the incredible amount of stupid people I now have to deal with. More on this in future posts.
A particular kind of stupid will be focused on today.
I now run the front end of my store, which means I have a number of cashiers under me, and their job is to ring people up. Easy, right? For the most part this is correct. I am also in charge of their on-the-clock schedules, i.e. sending them to breaks and lunches, among other things. So, when its time for them to break away from a register, change their sign from open to closed, and tell them to finish with the people currently in their line and go to break.
Apparently people don't read signs. Customers will continue to get into lines that say they are closed. Now, sometimes, the cashier will be nice and say, "Sure, I can take one more." But one turns into five turns into ten. Eventually, the cashier has to turn someone away. Generally, this is done nicely, with an apology. The customer then snatches this opportunity to get angry and throw a tantrum. Why on earth do people think that they have the right to get upset? The sign says closed. They have been told, by superiors, to close their sign and get off the register for a time. If you walked up to a store, and the sign says closed, would you still try to walk in? No.... So why would you think that the word "closed" means something different when it applies to a cash register?
Now, if there aren't enough people RUNNING registers, that's an entirely different reason to complain. But if you complain simply because you have to wait behind ONE person in order to get your stuff... sorry, but in my book, that's not a legitimate complaint.
