Living to Learn Life Lessons
First of all Thank You for a wonderful day. The holiday rush to buy the best gifts for Christmas can really take a toll on me as a cashier. But for that point, Im going to say all cashiers. lol I do my best to be courtest, and to smile with my customers, but sometimes I fall short. I don’t know why Im so hard on myself in this area. Sometimes I feel that you give me enough strength to smile and laugh with them at all times. Im learning that its okay if I have down times, Im very friendly and do my best to create a great shopping experience for the customer. Lord, sometimes they invade your space and downtime. I just don’t know how to react to people who disrespect my space. If they see me eating in the snack bar, or see me walking and talking on my cell phone, why is it so important that they get their question out to ME anyway? This bothers me to no end. I wish that I knew how to talk to them without letting them know in so many words that Im off the clock, and not to BOTHER ME AT ALL. My facial expressions can/will cure cancer it’s just like that!!! Well, you know. lol I want to be nice and pleasant all the time. I really battle with this at work, people seem to know what button to push. My coworkers are the best, we motive and pray for another. I love that about them.
Hey,Â
Wow, what can I say? This year’s Cree’s Feeding the Homeless for Thanksgiving went so well. It was an amazing day for all of us. We fed 50 people this Thanksgiving and next year its going to be even bigger. So many of my family and friends got involved, they donated food, money, time and their support for my second annual. I can even explain the looks on their faces when we arrived. It get dark here in Detroit about 5ish and we had just missed the day light. They were so happy that we thought of them, and they were so Thankful and grateful. I wish that we had more to give that day, but Im going to take one year at a time. We drove around downtown Detroit, and it wasnt hard at all to find 50 people. The homeless shelters are over crowded and people were sleeping on the streets. They had lots to eat, drink, and munch on when we were done with them. I wanted to take photos, but it was not the right time to do that. The atmosphere wasnt right at all. I would love to do this at least 2 times a month.
