My first full shift

So I'm just in, after six hours of signing people up to the store card. All on my lonesome - my trainer was at a supermarket a few miles away.

I think I did alright. I didn't offend anyone - well, there's no angry messages waiting for me telling me not to come back tomorrow - and managed to get ten sales. That's just marginally more than minimum wage, so I'm quite happy with that. I don't think I'll ever be rich, but I do seem to be getting better.

Though to give credit where it's due - the new promotion started today is for a large box of chocolate biscuits (sorry - "cookies"). It bears a suspicious resemblence to the Marks and Spencer Belgian biscuit selection, as a matter of fact. And it's a pretty impressive incentive to sign up - every person who signed up today took a voucher for one.

As a side note, I currently have around twenty or thirty more vouchers, in theory waiting for me to pass out to punters. So if I do go bad, I can probably survive off those for quite some time.

So in brief - I enjoyed today more than I was expecting to; and while I may never be very good at it, I was at least less bad than I feared.
