10. It was a terrible system, True

Don't get me wrong, I did like shopping at K-Mart before, during and after my employment there.


I had to do what they call "re-wraps". I wasn't any good at it either. I always damaged the product that needed to be re wrapped with the heat gun.
Who gives an inexperienced teenager a heat gun anyways? lol


Thankfully, I did get that $100 when I picked up my paycheck envelope. I gave it back to the lady in charge of payroll so she could count it and match the numbers. I also didn't sign the payroll record notebook until I was reimbursed. The entire situation was weird and I got bad vibes.
