Whose everyone?
We move on. I've never seen a busier Sunday then tonight. Why must people insist on shopping for things during holiday weekends. Maybe I would understand grills and outdoor furniture but beds, wardrobes, desks etc, Why? Who asked their wife/husband today, "Hun, where would you rather go today, The beach, a park, or IKE... I mean The Big Yellow Joint?" and how many of those people actually picked "The Big Yellow Joint"?

A 5 member family came in today. A Mom, a Dad and there 3 kids. The mom was pushing one of their kids in a stroller. As the Dad looked at merchandise the 2 older kids ran a muck. One kid tried jumping into a bin and another tried riding a Pallet jack. I had to stop the Pallet jack kid. While this was all happening the father dropped his coffee and spilt it all over the floor. That Bastard. One of the funnier, yet still annoying, things the family did involved another customer trying to get by them. They were a family of 5 but they were spread like a herd. He said excuse me twice to get by them. On the second try the family moved but all there clump did was trade posistions. So they were still blocking the customers path. These people were savages and savages shouldn't be having babies.

As the night finally started to die down my friend and myself were making beds together. The atmosphere was finally calming down (this was 8:30 by thte way) and it was nice to clean up and talk with my friend. Just a few minutes into our nice time our assistant manager came over and separated us. Why you may ask? Maybe because he's an ass. The assistant wanted us to split up, hunt down as many customers as we can so we could, whats the phrase he used, Oh yes, "Sell, Sell, Sell!!!". So much for trying to have a good time.

I just want to point out that all departments work in groups. Especially on the weekends because weekends SUCK and no one wants to be there, besides the customers. Also our department is feared by many. We're one of the departments that no one wants to work in. So the question is if our department sucks as much as everyone says it does, why do a alot of the managers treat us so shitty? I said a lot, not all, to whomever may be reading this making sure I'm behaving myself.

At the end of the night we had to tear down 3 rooms settings. We were suppose to go downstairs and help them clean so they could go home. Instead we were tearing down whole rooms. In the world of IKE..."The Big Yellow Joint", tearing down 3 room settings really doesn't make sense on a Sunday night.

I am going to close with this. Today was also the day I found out something bad about my family. It was distracting to work with in the back of my head and I didn't bring it up with anyone because I wanted to get through the day. That will be saved for the next post.

Oh one other thing. Today was my Dad's birthday. I have seen or heard from him in 4 years. Sometimes I hate him sometimes I miss him. Either way , it added to my day.
