Late shoppers

by writer13pro

I have just past my matric year and wasn't planning on studieng yet.I applied to be a cop but as time passed i grew inpasient and applied in a shopping centers in the mall. 2 weeks past and i got a call from a guy called Derick.He told me if im stil interested in the job i should come to the shop dressed in a white t shirt.The shops name was checkers Hyper,A guy came walking towards me with hes hand extended "hi you must be Earl im derick".he gave me a checkers uniform t shirt to wear and i started right away.3 months past and i started to get the hang of things /braking less things. It was the festive month end ,the busiest time of the year. The store closes 19:00 and we couldnt leave until all the costumers left the store. 19:15 there were stil this one costumer in the shop. She was messing up our aisles puting things back and then taking other things on and on it went.finaly! She came towards the till she passed till 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and standed stil at till 9 the last till and the only one without a cashier. We all nagged some even screamed at her so my manger quiet us down and walked towards the women and told her to pay at till 8.She looked at him with a confused face and said "NO,...I always pay at till number 9 why cant i today". She only had one box of cereal might i add my manager kept hes voice calm and tried to reason with this women.She stood her ground and i saw one of our cleaners coming near with a broom in hes one hand and in the other bag he had a bag. He swong the broom high and it hit her head she fell to the ground like a shack of patatoes. I fell to my knees everybody around looked calm as if they were use to it. But she was stil moving and the cleaner gave her one more hit and she had that look in her eyes,the look of death, the cleaner dragged her body to the back as the other cleaners moped the blood up. I saw my manager walking towards me ,he lift me up and told me that every festive month end we get these late shoppers as we call them they waste our time and we have to do something about them. He made me convinced that we are the victims.im working at checkers for 3 years now and its happened every festive month end and im use to it now aswell. Some advice dont shop to late at checkers:)
