School Marks

There was once a time where every day I would wake up, put on a hideously ugly brown polo (with a collar that had shriveled up like paper) and would head to work as a cashier at a really large grocery store.

I would deal with customers that always acted as though they were in a hurry though they clearly had nowhere else to be. I would deal with managers with a sub standard education that took breaks every 5 minutes to have yet another cigarette but yelled at me if I took too long in the bathroom over my lunch break. And I would deal with people that would simply steal from our store because they thought it would be easy.

I’m quite glad those days are gone. My training at the White Plains Sanford Brown Institute helped put me in a position where I answer to people that value me, work with people that wish to be working, and treat people that come in looking for help. Beyond the people skills I learned from saying “no” 500 times a day to various customers, I can honestly say there is not a lot I miss from my time at that place.
