I got a raise!
Seriously, I have no idea why. I picked up my paycheck today and under rate it said $9.00 where it used to say $8.50. It's not much of a raise, but it's still a raise. Guess all I had to do was take 2 weeks off.
Today was my first day back and thank God I was only on for 5 hours. My neck started to hurt half an hour before I left, so it's a good thing I didn't have to stay longer. I did have to put up with some annoying customers today, though. Our ice capp machine wasn't freezing (so many people wanted ice capps) and people just couldn't understand that nothing I could do would make it freeze faster. Plus, our toaster was broken. People still asked of bagels toasted. I was so very tempted to just point to the sign on my register saying we couldn't toast anything. Most were good about it, but some put up a fuss before storming out.
And to the man who helped the woman in the motorized chair who couldn't move her arms, you have restored my faith in humanity. Thank you for giving me her debit card and handing her the PIN pad and then, when she wasn't able, pushing the buttons for her. If you hadn't already paid, I would have given you your coffee and bagel free.
Also, a huge thanks to my dad over the past week. He cleaned out my cut on my neck and changed the bandage every day and every night. I'm sure it was gross and you didn't have to, so thanks for making my life just that much easier.
