I will work today, 11 to 5, learn how to use the checkout for customers (point of sale) and probably be confused a bit. There is a lot to learn initially. I am not scheduled for too many hours so far and breaks are included in the schedule.
I think it will be fun and I even get a discount! I am hoping not to spend all I make on books and coffee.

At least you don't have to clean up a messy spill on aisle 5.

Thanks, except for standing in one spot mostly for too long, it was not bad.

Standing on my feet for six hours, minus a thirty minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks was not so easy. I will choose different shoes on Friday. Other than that, it was fun.

@Hannihar No, standing is the only way to do the job, but it is only a few weeks.

That's great! I'm not surprised if you end up spending on books, I'd probably do the same if I work at the bookstore.

It went well, I think. A little tired from standing though.

That was a puzzle, but they seem to think I did okay. Thanks!

True, but this store is very busy over the holiday season. I don't expect too much idle time.
