December 3, 2010: New Store
So as mentioned in my previous entry I am currently working at the developing Stop & Shop Supermarket in Billerica temporarily while it is being remodeled. The store is a lot larger than I expected it would be and there are barely any customers coming in. The remodel is completed, but there are still a couple of set up items that need to be taken care of. Usually when there is a grand re-opening customers swarm in order to see if there are any giveaways or anything free. Yet, with Stop & Shop being the store that it is that will never be the case.
There are new digital ovens in the bakery that are hard to get accustomed to. I am use to one with a turning dial that beeps at such a loud frequency as to not be ignored. This one shuts off the product at the end of the time so that it does not burn. The surfaces are all new and all stainless steel. Everything looks great.
The cake case is substantially larger than the one at my store, but they only have one variety of each cake whereas we have several that we offer.
The great thing about working in a new store: though having to keep a professional appearance and reputation should anyone try to give orders or mistreat me I have every right not to listen considering this was not my base store and I was doing a favor. It is very liberating to have no rules or regulations.
Until Next Time...

I covered for a different photo lab once and that feeling really does help. Had to take a bus to get there, and then could stay as long as I felt like it on a Sunday so I was getting time and a half. That little ginger cashier probably never wants to see me again, because I don't recall being very nice to him.
