Yet another work dream

Date: 4/1/2025

I had just gotten to work, and it was already super busy. There was a huge email that I couldn't really figure out what it said, but I had seen my former boss' name in the response list. I couldn't find her response though, so I figured maybe they didn't delete her email after all these months until now. She probably said something funny, she hates these people. There was a bunch of stuff to do, and a few customers in store, and I didn't really know where to start. I would go to pick something up, but just didn't really know what we were doing with it, so I'd just put it back. Eventually, an older man came into the store with a return and sat it on the counter. Don't remember if he just didn't like it or didn't want it, but I went to put on some gloves to check it out thoroughly. It took me a little while just to get the one glove on, but Luke ended up coming over, took one look at the product, then told me to just go ahead and return it. So I was just like, oop okay, and took off the glove. There was a couple to the right side of me at the pills case, and they'd put all of their stuff on the counter to be rung up. Apollo was about to help them I guess, but it was just kind of a standstill with me trying to get to the main register (we only have 2, and the second one is slow af and I can't do returns on it), Apollo just standing there, the couple also just standing there, and the old man waiting to get his item returned. The old man was in the correct spot and he was at the register first, so I told Apollo that I can't do returns on the second register. He didn't really seem to hear me the first two times I said it, but I was finally able to get his attention enough to tell him again. He seemed frustrated about it, maybe because this couple had a bunch of stuff and it'd take forever ringing it all up if they got discounted items. After that whole debacle was over, Luke ended up leaving for home. I ended up leaving too, but it was to go to another one of our locations to open up that store. When I got there, there was already a couple in the lot that was getting out of their car. I told them that we don't open until 11, so about 20-30ish minutes (I'd gotten there early), and they'll have to give me just a bit of time to open. They said okay, and I went inside to get ready to open up shop. Everything was calm, and then suddenly there was like 3 groups of people around my register waiting to get rang up and trying to get my attention. One of them wanted my help with something, and I told them that I'm not clocked in yet and they'd have to wait. I started wiping down the pills case to pass the time while they were all waiting around the register for me to clock in and open the store. I don't even know how they all got in, I'm sure I locked the door.
