This weekend is going to be a fun one at work, because its inventory time again. The only good thing about it this time around is that I don’t have a department to be inventoried. I am being somewhat of a consultant as far as the HBC/GM inventory goes, but I’m certainly not getting all into it; and come Sunday when they count I won’t be there. When I ran the department I kept all of my overstock in totes and everything was counted because I kept a running inventory of all my backstock. Well, when the reset happened, that got all fucked up. I’ve been going through what is out in the aisles and using my super duper pricing machine and counting it that way with the new department head. You know what else is wonderful? Not only do I not really have to worry about inventory, but I also don’t have to worry about putting out Christmas, putting out hats and gloves, ordering shit for next year’s holidays or any of that shit. I didn’t realize how much I hated doing that until I stopped.
The super duper mega super Wal Mart opened yesterday in my town. The store is over 200,000 square feet. In case you’re not good with numbers and dimensions, that is fucking huge. I woke up early this morning so on my way to my job I stopped in and checked it out. I do have to say that the store is laid out rather well but it’s like it’s own little community in there. Shit, there’s a Subway in there, there’s a Papa Murphy’s pizza place, a hair cut place and all of the other Wal Mart things that are in there. I think this summer when it’s really hot out and I don’t want to spend my money for running the air conditioner I’ll just go live at the fucking Wal Mart. Hey, it’s got to be good for something, doesn’t it?
I’m patiently waiting for my DVD’s to show up so I can watch them. I checked online today and it said that they all shipped already. I did get one in the mail today but the other ones didn’t show up. It did say they shipped separately so I’m not too worried yet. The only reason they didn’t show up yet is because they know those are the ones I really wanted. It’s a goddamned conspiracy I tell you. Since I’ve mentioned Wal Mart and DVD’s in the same blog I might as well mention that I went into the old Wal Mart here because I wanted to buy my South Park Season 6 DVD. Well, they were out of stock a day after it came out. There was a tag on the shelf and everything but there was no DVD there. I asked one of the people there if they would get anymore in and I was told not until the new store opens. Obviously I didn’t need the new South Park DVD right away but I’m not that fucking patient. I left Wal Mart and went over to K Mart. Before you want to give me shit for going to K Mart let me just say we don’t have a Target in this town yet, and my only other option was Shopko and they are too fucking expensive for me, they would have jacked me over $40 for that set. I went into K Mart with little to no expectations and was completely surprised to find Season 6 there for only $34.99. Over at Wallyworld it was over $38. I was suddenly glad that those bastards were out of the movie.
