ANNOUNCEMENT: POSTS WILL NOW BE IN A NEW REPLY (2-17-24)
Saturday 1-13-24
I did greeting from 2pm to 6pm. I got a break at 4pm and walked around the store. I found a G3.5 Pinkie Pie for $3. I used my employee discount and got it for $1.50. I met someone on my shift as she was leaving. A couple people saw my pony I had and commented on it. I had a good day overall.

Today was the same. It was busy around 4 pm. I went on break and got a sing and skate sunny with no microphone for my friend. I tested the pony this morning and she works! Just need to brush her hair out. I also got a couple ponies, g3 toola roola McDonalds pony, hard tail soft mane, and g4 rainbow dash friends of equestria pony. The rainbow dash was in a bag of random stuff I didn't want, so I just separated rainbow dash and put the other stuff in the back to be put out again. I spent $10 today. I was able to finally pet the stores cat, Kiera. I swore I took a picture of her but I looked in my photos and there was nothing! I might have forgotten to press the camera button, oops.

I did the same as last week. I went on my break a little early today. I found a coloring book, a comic book, 3 mini art kits?, a movie prequel, a g3.5 rainbow dash McDonalds toy, and a g4 cutie mark crew Applejack.

Today was different. Not as busy with the Super Bowl on Sunday. I went on break at 4pm and found a bag with a Princess Luna and Maximus (from Disney Tangled). I paid $3.29 I think for the bag. Towards the end of my shift, I felt unusual; my back was extremely sore and my stomach felt throw up-y. I was able to go home and lay down for a hour.
I woke up this morning at 4 with extremely sore back and sick to the stomach. I took some Ibuprofen and eventually fell back asleep. I have to skip my Sunday swimming practice. I probably will clean the Luna figurine sometime this week. Today is not the day to do anything for me.

Saturday 2-3-24
Today was busy for me. I did not bring my debit card! (who hoo! I am actually telling myself no). There was no buying on break today. I found Kiera today (the stores cat) in a chair and said hello throughout the day. She has soft fur! I was able to get carts left outside a few times, had fun herding those darn things :pout:. More than 2 carts it gets hard to corral. I answered the phone today too! I felt good about that.

Saturday 2-17-24
Today was busy. I answered the phone once today. I got carts her and there during my shift today. During my break, I got 2 bags, each containing only one pony. The rest I am trying to give away. I got my math teacher some pencils, she said she wanted some so I got some for her. My mom said I can't buy anything else so I have to listen to her.

Oh there was some random assorted toys that I don't recognize really. :blush:

Oh, maaaan. Working in a thrift shop would kill my paychecks. I'd be bringing home new treasures and not money! You've made some pretty good finds though.
-

Im doing ok today. I'll do two posts tomorrow since last week I was sick and didn't post anything.

Today I was back after my swim meet last weekend. I answered the phone about 6 times today. I helped some people with real questions in front of me too. The stores cat was laying next to me at the beginning of my shift, which I really enjoyed. I bought a bag of ponies today and a book without my mom knowing (hehehe sneaky). I don't feel like putting a picture in, I am pretty exhausted from going to the mall before work. Speaking of the mall, I got a bluey shirt and a FNAF shirt at "Hot Topic". My mom left my FNAF shirt to me and is going to keep the bluey shirt until my birthday.
Anyway, that's all I have until next week!
-
Today was good. I answered the phone 4 times. I went on break at about 3:15 pm and found myself a 8 inch Rarity tinsel hair and a "Sunny Starscout's Book of Adventure". I also bought a Bluey storage thing, but left it in my locker at work since I didn't want to carry it home lol. I'll probably get it around June or something.

Yeah! oh, I got my Bluey storage thing! I volunteered with my schools work based learning class and I was able to grab it out of my locker today!

Oh boy do I have a good find for ponies today...
Today was chill. It felt like it flew by. I answered the phone about 6 times. I found ponies on my break. In the middle of my shift, I felt a headache/small migraine coming on. I knew about the pain relieving pills we have in the break room so I took a couple Ibuprofen. It has helped... just took a while to settle in.
I drove myself to work today!!! Well, my dad drove in front of me and I followed. But still, I am learning to drive independently and I really liked it. I'll see how next week goes.

The ponies in the larger bags, I kept in my work locker. They are the MLP Movie figurines from Target. I got a whole mane 6 set in one bag, and a few in another with G3 Amberlocks!

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...

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 :D
Thank you! Driving is scuff 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
-
oooh sounds like it's a fun job :) I would love to volunteer at our local charity shop but alas... no time...

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 :hug: 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! :hug:

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

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.
-
That's great! Keep up the good work :D
