How I Got My First Lanyard

Let me tell you how I received my first lanyard. Working in retail, I had a million keys to keep track of. The most important ones were used to open the cash registers during a shift change. Each of our four registers had a different key plus the manager key that had to be used at the same time. We left the main key in the registers, and it was my responsibility to have the manager key on me at all times for when an associate needed to open their drawer.

There was a backup key in the office the managers shared in case we forgot to bring our key. I was no different than anyone else and often made use of this backup key when I left mine at home. During a shift change on a busy day I dug my key out of my pocket so I could open the drawer of an associate. Fumbling, I dropped it into a small crack where the counters met. After trying in vain to get it out, I went for the backup key. It wasn’t there, someone must have accidentally taken it home with them. (more…)
