Yesterday I finished my orientation for Costco, and my first day of work is Saturday. I found out what my job duty is going to be and ironically enough my official title is "cart crew". I say ironically for one very funny reason. I am horrible at taking my cart back to either the store or the cart collection located in the parking lot.
It used to be, before I had children, that I would always return the carts. Then children came into my life and everything changed. Where once the cart was neatly put away, now it gets pushed haphazardly in between the cars to be taken care of by an employee of the store.
A couple of years ago I met someone who I now consider among my closest friends. One of her biggest pet peeves is that no one puts away their carts. Once day she and I got into a discussion about her feelings of lack of consideration people give to employees when they don't put away their carts. I went on my tirade about the impossibility of putting my cart away with a car full of screaming and impatient children. Ultimately I think we agreed to disagree on the importance of cart etiquette, with my ultimate point being, "that is what they pay the employees to do anyway."
Well, today she is laughing and I have to chuckle as well. I, the I can't put away my cart girl, am now, as my friend so kindly called me, "cart girl". I am going to get the privilege of taking care of everyone's carts. I told her today, what goes around comes around and humorously enough, it came around to me. Now the big question is....am I going to put my cart away after this.
