Rainlove The Pegasus's Thrift Store Job Thread

[Rainlove The Pegasus]

Thank you for replying everyone! I'll get to people when I can. School is so busy and I am focusing on my work in class more. I got my finds logged in to my MLP Merch page and my notebook. I should make sure stuff is accurate lol...

i'm glad things are going well at the job and driving too

Learning to drive on my own is a huge step for me. I find it alright, just really anxious about the people with more experience than me. And the idiotic drivers too.

Hope all goes well wi the driving, & cute find xxx

Yeah, I hope so too!

very cool find, congrats!

Thank you! I just took them out earlier. Got them in my MLP Merch page!

Great finds! Awesome about the driving

Thank you! Driving is still a bit for me.

I meant to put a reply Saturday night. I was so tired from driving myself to and from work. Here is what I remember from Saturday:

Saturday, April 20th, 2024

I answered the phone a bit today. The usual rush on Saturday is after 3pm. I went on break at 4. I saw a mlp the movie AJ figurine in a bag. I almost bought it, but it was the only pony in the bag that was hasbro licensed. It was $7 too. I have a new rule where if it is only a mlp and several fake ponies or not ponies, then I leave it. Plus, I just washed one of that pony last week.

I did find a Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron dvd! I have the vhs version as well. For the vhs, I have to rewind it and that takes about 20 minutes. The dvd however, takes 20 less minutes and I can just watch it straight away. I think I did pretty good!

After I closed up, I drove home. We had some family over for dinner, so when I was walking up to the door, I was greeted with applause from my parents and family. I was literally so surprised, I was a bit embarrassed.

Aw, that was so nice of your family to acknowledge your hard work

That's a good rule to have for ponies you find. Congrats on the DVD! I've never seen Spirit.

Awww your family must be so proud of you xxx

yeah. I was embarrassed and confused at the same time. I would recommend the movie to watch sometime! eBay might have some to look into!

It is fun, if I make it fun. There are some boring parts too.

Here was yesterday:

Saturday, April 28th, 2024:

I did the usuals. I was about to go on my break, when my manager stopped me and invited me back to her office. We chatted about something that happened 2 Saturdays ago. I don't want to get into it. I asked her about possible summer hours and she said probably not. The only thing she told me was maybe a 3-6pm shift in the week. I wrote down some things I have to practice on for the next evaluation. I'm deciding whether or not to stay here or find somewhere else to go. I have a couple places I want to look into for summer jobs.

After the talk, I went on break and lost the energy to dig under bags in the toy area, so I just went back to my station and finished my shift and left when I was done. The toy area could seriously use some organizing. It is just so messy with the bags of assorted toys.

I'm sorry your manager called you into her office That never feels good. I can't tell you how many times my manager had to talk to me about something on my first job. Don't give up!

I was super nervous on what I had done wrong. We chatted about everything and to was resolved.

Here was Saturday:

Saturday, May 4th, 2024

I answered the phone a few times during my shift. I greeted people today. I finally got the courage to welcome people in today, and most people thanked me for doing that. It was more quiet towards the end of my shift. I drove myself home after I was done.

[BlackCurtains]

That's great! Keep up the good work

I did not work last week, I had a swim meet with Special Olympics last Saturday and won all four of my races I did!

I do have today's blog tho!

Today was slow but I got through it. I was early to work because I tried doing a Garage sale and failed. No one bought anything, so I took what no one bought with me to work and donated it. After that, I went in and walked around for about 20 minutes and looked at the books since I never have time with my normal 10 minutes. I found 5 different mlp books, and told myself that if they were still there after 4pm, I would buy them. They were still there so I bought them along with a smaller fox squishmallow. A co-worker, Greg, gave me a couple of York mints before I started greeting today because why not. He is an older guy, not like 40 I would say. I saw a couple of people I recognized today. At the end, I was able to hold the stores' cat, Kiera!!!! I was so happy! She was content in my arms and I made sure she was ok with me holding her. After that, I was dismissed to leave and went home.

Here is the photo of the items I purchased on my break today:

Thank you! I'll be going to state special olympics on June 8th. 5 hour drive to the pool I'm competing at all day. I was so happy to hold Kiera that day. The fox squish mallow, I found out his name is James!

Here is today:

It was super busy the first hour of my shift. I went on break and bought 2 books. At the end, the cat, Kiera was on my greeters station so I took a picture of her.
