Chiquita on the New Job

I've been working at Lowe's now for a couple of weeks. The beginning was pretty boring. It was mostly training on the computer for hours at a time. Finally, after four days of staring at the computer screen, reading and listening to information then taking quizzes over it, I was put with a trainer on a cash register in lumber. I learned about LAR lookups (don't ask me what that acronym stands for). Lumber mostly deals with commercial contractors, and the LAR look up (which you access by pressing F8) is used to look up a business credit account without having to have the customer actually have the Lowe's Business credit card with them. There are all kinds of buttons on the cash register that i have to learn. I never realized all the stuff that cashiers have to do when even the simplest of purchases is made. ITs all pretty interesting.
The people are also very nice. Everyone is really helpful, and if I have a question, pretty much all I have to do is look confused and someone is rushing to my side to assist me right away. I get along really well with everyone I've met so far. A lot of different kinds of people work there. I work with an older woman, maybe 55, whose daughter i went to school with. Most of the cashiers are in college and most of them are girls, although there are a few guys. One of them is also a lunch lady at Kennedy!
Another thing I like about Lowe's is seeing people I know come in. I've rang up several of my classmates or their parents in the two weeks I've been working there. My most favorite person I've had come in has to be the art teacher I had in elementary school, Mrs. Weaver. She's one of my all time favorite teachers, and for years I haven't seen her and I've always wondered what ever happened to her after she retired. When she came through my line, she recognized me right away. It pretty much made my day.
So that's pretty much all I've got to say about my new job so far. I'll keep you updated!
