Sep. 8th, 2024 06:55 amRained briefly yesterday. I took then to look at one task I currently have left on ULearn, but it requires some kind of VR headset. Asked Doreen about that, but she said that that's due on November 22.
She set me up instead with a survey on my app. Used that to summarize my recent issues with the job when it asked me for suggestions on how to improve things.
While returning to the parking lot with my rain gear on, someone waiting in line at customer service asked me if I had seen a bag of medication for his hip in a cart somewhere. I accompanied him to look around for it, and he brought me to the leftmost aisle where he had put his cart in a corral. It had already stopped raining, but the cart in question was gone. He grabbed another cart to lean on on our way back inside.
Arriving back inside, the item checker there suggested he also return to the pharmacy in case customer service still doesn't have it. Sure enough, someone had returned it there, and I accompanied him to his car to ensure he doesn't forget it again. He had forgotten where he parked, and at one point asked me if I could fetch a motorcart for him. Managed just barely to find one done charging in my entrance, after seeing none along the walls in either entrance, and brought that all the way back to him.

That was not the case at the end of my shift when I wound up with two different people needing one each. The first of those was inside my entrance, having tried to ride one of those carts whose battery just won't charge no matter how long you plug it in for, followed by someone else waiting in her car after I started looking around the parking lot for one. Returning near my entrance, I spotted one party loading their goods from two motorcarts, but the one I managed to take started wearing down, the lady inside the entrance was long gone, and the second one was given to someone else. I went over to the lady in her car, who then pointed out that someone had returned a cart to my entrance. Went back, and that one, the one I returned, had actually finished charging, but someone else spotted me who needed it.
I went back to that lady to let her know I was still looking around, but she told me it wasn't a big deal.
It turned out to be 7 minutes past my endtime, and I did clock out then, but perhaps I should have kept looking around anyway and let Mom know when she texted me that she was paying for something. Maybe not so dire as losing some medication, but this is not the first shortage I have experienced of motorcarts. Along with the reprieve both those and flatbeds et al gives me from collecting regular carts, I make a point exactly for this reason to prioritize motorcarts whenever I see one of those, even when I can barely keep regular carts ready.
