Work Stories From A Specialty Grocery Store (background Context)
Work Stories From A Specialty Grocery Store (background context)
I work at a smallish, specialty grocery store. We pack our own bulk stuff, like rice, beans, flour, sugar, and also a bunch of other really specific stuff, like organic coconut sugar, or pine nuts. We have a produce department, and we sell a lot of organic stuff. We also do our own prep-work, and all organic produce has to be taped with yellow tape saying 'Organically Grown' We have a deli and a meat department, and the meat department sometimes sells uncommon meat, like rabbit. We only have 3 tills, and so it gets really clogged up if a lot of people are shopping. At the end of the day, everyone working the closing shift has to stay after closing and help clean up, as we don't have a cleaning team. Since it's a specialty store, sometimes the only place you can find a certain item in the entire city, we get a lot of weird customers.
I might make more context posts if i want to, but most of my posts under the #work stories tag will be posts about interesting customers, funny things coworkers said, or random out-of-context quotes or pictures.

Production Update
Bought a tape measure and a carabiner on the weekend so I didn't have to borrow the director's. This one is even better, and lighter. Why did I not think of this sooner.
At rehearsal, the Stage Manager, the Sound Designer, a few actors that volunteered and I all painted set pieces for about 2 hours. We had to do it outside because the director claimed, "It's a beautiful day!"
I mean it didn't rain but still! Anyways, I got paint on my pants so now I have a trophy to show anyone who asks. Will also have to paint next week, just doing the sides of some flats and a few touchups. The director only told me once I started panicking that 2 of the vertical flats I thought we were painting we actually aren't using. Good going, director!
Anyways, rehearsals are actually going better than expected, so hopefully the actors should get off-book soon.
GO FORTH MY FRIENDS. DO IT.
