My 3rd night in a row closing, and when I got there, the one jackass bagger that literally has asperger's, everyone hates him, was bagging for the cashier I was taking over for. Right as I was about to sign in, the fucker spills 5lbs of flax seed all over the place. And I do mean all over the place. It was all over the register, all over the bags, all over the card machine, all over the floor. It was everywhere. What were the managers doing during all this other than glaring at you? Do they not realize that they're paid to, you know.. MANAGE?! You know, step in and help, or at least get the fucker who did this to come back and help, or send him on his merry loving way if he doesn't? Sweet tap-dancing Christ, stories like this make me rage. It makes me wonder why I bust my rear end as a manager to get ABSOLUTELY loving NOWHERE when apparently I can stand around and glare at people and be a prick to anyone who speaks to me at a different store and still pick up a paycheck.

A Gamestop story: Apparently, this dude had come in the night before and tried to trade in video game drumsticks. We take them in, or something, I honestly have no idea, but V my assistant manager chose not to take them because it was obvious he had opened the package just to trade them in - which is a pretty clear sign that they've been stolen. I'm working with V the next day when he comes in with his girlfriend, and someone trades in some kind of game apparatus (a Wii gun attachment, iirc) that we do take in, and he just gets completely enraged. V tries to explain to him why we couldn't take them in the day before, and his girlfriend gets totally embarrassed. "I'm going to call corporate and tell them you get paid so much to be rude to customers! With your $8 an hour job, you could stand to be a little nicer!" All I could think was man, I wish I got paid $8 an hour. I got a whole $0.11 raise from minimum wage ($7.25) when I was moved from a holiday temp to part time. A job that pays $8 sounds... glorious...

Really, all they were doing was standing around. On a semi-regular basis, they are pretty good about helping people but I guess for some reason they found it entertaining to watch an already extremely stressed cashier clean up a mess that wasn't even her fault. I don't have any managerial experience and I could've done a better job at fixing the situation.

If I were making that much, maybe I could stand to be a little nicer.

I really wish I had quit already. Next week is more laden with hours than any other I've worked, which is a real dick-move to follow the worst weekend I've ever worked up with. I sincerely hope my next interview is before it, rather than after, so I can actually plan around this bullshit. And look who's still working as a supervisor this weekend! I'm gonna raise hell about this, even if it gets me fired.

I'm getting phone calls from the alarm company at 1 a.m. that the alarm is going off in the store. I just got back from Planet Fitness, so I'm loving zonked. The first one went to voicemail while I was working out. I ignored the second. I'm the furthest employee from the store- 30 minutes away with traffic lights. There's no loving WAY I'm driving out there because some goddamn balloon got out of the moronic cage that they put up on the ceiling to display them right beside an air vent. As soon as one starts to lose lift, it catches it and blows it in a circuit around the entire store. Logic should dictate that if the motion censor at the front of the store, the emergency exit, or stockroom aren't the ones going off that it's probably a false alarm and they don't need me driving out in the middle of the night to say "Nope, no burglars!" Nobody is "Mission: Impossible"-ing their way into the center of the store from the ceiling with cables.tentawesome posted:I cannot IMAGINE how you guys manage to live on even $9.50 an hour, to be honest.

Ugh, working as a cashier has made me lose most of my hope in humanity. As soon as a customer does something that restores my faith, something else happens that completely strips it away. A good example is what happened last night at work: It's pretty dead and a customer comes to my register to buy one of our ready-made BBQ chickens. The packaging on them is pretty terrible though, and it's not uncommon to have grease leaking out and getting all over everything unless you're really careful. That's exactly what happened with this guy, but hey, he didn't know. This happens all the time. I grab some paper towels and start wiping up the mess and he grabs some too and actually ends up HELPING me instead of just standing there. It's not a requirement to help me when stuff like this happens but it's always nice. The guy even apologises for making a mess. I say there's no need, everything's cool, we get it all cleaned up and he's on his way. ...then as he's leaving he dumps the big wad of greasy paper towels he had into our food donation bin.   HOW COULD YOU??? There are signs EVERYWHERE around there saying that it's not a garbage. It doesn't even remotely resemble a trash bin you fuckhead!

Also, I'm pretty sure you could collect that unemployment, since there is no cause to fire you. Normal companies would just pay you for those two weeks, but obviously retail exists in a parallel universe where employees aren't human beings.

And also write-up dumb ones for using it as a trash-can anyway; everyone at my job always throws their trash in the glass-recycle bin.

Whoo hoo, two day weekend! Thanks Easter! It's pretty sad that I think a two-day weekend is exciting and unusual. I've worked in retail for going on 7 years now, and I am definitely in the minority when I say that I actually really love it. It's certainly always exciting at least! Though I work in midtown manhattan, so maybe I've just built a shell for customer bullshit.

How can you people like having two days off in a row? It goes by so quick as if it was just one day. To me it sucks because then I'm going to have to work at least 5 days in a row which is too much. I prefer having 1 day off, work 2 days, another day off, work 3 days and repeat. At least this way it doesn't feel like I'm there too much.

The sad part is that I was getting better grades then them back in college. Not to say that good grades = job, but I was taking life more seriously then them.

To those of you working in retail that don't like it (presumably 95% of you), I would highly recommend getting an office job of some kind. After five years in supermarket hell I got a lovely job in a call centre, but it was miles loving better. After four months I got wind of another job opportunity which put me on a career path and 10 years later I'm living the high life (comparatively). Honestly, if all you've ever known is retail, you don't know what you're missing. EDIT: To elaborate, I worked in Safeway/Morrisons from ages 16-21. Part-time through high school and uni, until I dropped out and went full-time and into a supervisory role. When I worked out that I'd have to work another five years or so there to make £12,000 (about US$20,000) a year, I realised that I was busting my hump for no good reason. A 15c raise was the straw that broke the camel's back, so I started to look elsewhere and got wind of this call centre position. I have to say, selling insurance on the phone 9-5 beats the poo poo out of cleaning floors at 6am, making pizza and stocking shelves. modeski fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Apr 23, 2011 |

To those following my story of my friend working 40 hours a week for free: she's getting paid now, she says. She still gets picked up and dropped off from work by her friend-boss but she says at least now she's getting paid. She also has upped her work hours to seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day. Not because the pay is great. Because he is OMG her awesome friend who is doing her SUCH a huge favor letting her work for him! Oh, and she doesn't want to deal with her parents, who ask her for rent money. So her plan, so far, it seems is to barely be at the house, work nonstop, and at some point....move out? No, no, she can't move out. But apparently working 60 hours a week now and getting paid for at least some of it is a step up, right? She says I just don't understand how utterly insanely awesomely important this store is. Apparently I don't. And no, I have no desire to leave my job to work with and for her totally awesome friend.

Sometimes you've gotta make plans, take risks, and sometimes you fall on your rear end in the process. I've done some really lovely, sometimes low paid jobs between my retail days and today just to gain experience in my field, and now I'm on the verge of completing my degree as a mature student, with some good job prospects on the horizon. I've worked my rear end off to get here and always strived to be the best at whatever I'm currently doing, but it's been totally worth it. EDIT:- Also not making GBS threads on anyone in retail here, but it pains me to see people who feel like they're stuck in retail forever, when they really don't want to be.

Honestly, I still think you should report this store to the department of labour. Just call in a tip and say there's a person who works there 7 days a week every week and you're concerned she's being forced to work against her will. The department of labour will probably check to make sure she's getting paid accordingly, discover he doesn't have her on the books at all or is underreporting her hours worked, and make sure she gets paid. That or he'll lie through the teeth about the whole deal and realise he's either going to have to start paying her properly, or cover it up better. Seriously, that guy sounds like either a scumbag or a supreme idiot. It doesn't matter whether she wants to work there for free or not, the department of labour's job is to ensure people get compensated for services rendered (and it's doubtful he can get away with it by saying 'she really wants to work for me for free!'). Your friend needs to have reality check - her parents need rent money, they can't support her forever, and what her "friend" is doing is most likely against the law. It doesn't matter how much she enjoys the job, she has to realise that her "boss" needs to pay for labour and she's being (willingly) taken advantage of, and ultimately it's her and her parents who are losing out in this situation. froglet fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Apr 23, 2011 |

I want to do anything- ANYTHING- that will pay me more than I'm making now and isn't retail (given), sales (I hate pressuring people into buying more than they need/can afford, which is all sales is these days), custodial (meh), or maintenance/construction (bad shoulder and I'm out of shape, but I'm actively dieting/exercising... still no desire to work in North Carolina heat/humidity during the summer. Oh, and little to no related experience or skills. I don't like working in my own yard. I'll be damned if I'm going to work in someone else's). I search daily on Indeed.com, but I do have CareerBuilder and Monster accounts that haven't really netted me anything worthwhile. I have a Bachelor's in History Education. Teaching made me suicidal- even more so than retail. If you suggest that I go back and teach, this conversation is over. Period. I worked 5 years of retail cashiering/clerking in high school and the first part of college, taught high school for a year, then I have 3 years of retail management at various locations, with 4 months of unemployment mixed in just for fun. I've been applying to anything and everything that has caught my eye since last October. No dice. Not even a phone call. No offer of interviews when I call to check up. Just rejection letters. My resume has been updated and re-updated by goons. It looks great. Better than great. Amazing. Still no calls. Right now I make $9.25 an hour as part of the management team and work about 35-40 hours a week. This breaks down to a take-home income of just under $14k. Even though my paycheck is loving pathetic, I'm expected to work just as hard as the head manager, who makes $60+k a year. There is no opportunity for promotion. The DM did away with that as of Jan. 1st. Raises are locked at 2% a year on your hiring date. Assuming I get a raise this year, I'll be making a big loving $0.19 more an hour. Horay... That will be coming up soon though, so I guess that's something to look forward to. Wonder what I'll do with that extra $6 a paycheck? Here's an edited version of what I'm working with now. It was entirely goon-made: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-KJor8Oti6Q4jneXH0WkZ-mDNzdTfcTmW2NZ6f0N1QU/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKOM2aQD TShields fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Apr 23, 2011 |

Would it be possibly for you to take night classes in something else and work up the chain? Here in Australia major retailers like Coles and Woolworths actively encourage their staff to work up the chain and try to put forward the idea that retail isn't a dead-end job. E.g. somebody might start out on the shop floor, complete a pre-apprenticeship at TAFE (community college) then get an apprenticeship within the bakery of the same store where they become a fully fledged baker. While it would be still retail, if you did a few classes in accounting, bookkeeping, and possibly any software that is commonly used for payroll, they might want to put you in the accounts or payroll department. Hell, they might want to even pay you to take the classes and at least then you won't have to deal with the  s and  s of the area. However, if you're not into that sort of thing this might not be a good idea.

Unexpectedly, I went ahead and told my managers I "might need to move away on short-notice, I won't know for sure until Monday", and they pretty much said "that's fine, we'll keep you on the schedule for next week until then, just let us know on Monday if we need to take you off". Shame their nice-attitude has to compensate for their constant tolerance of lazy employees. It wouldn't be nearly as difficult around here if only a few slackers would pull their own weight.

That's about the size of it. I'm far too poor to go back to school. I told you my income. I'm not living with the folks anymore, I'm out on my own. My fiance pulls in a mighty $10.50 an hour, so the technically makes more, but she's amassed more bills than me, including car payments and student loans. I dodged that since my folks were doing alright when I went to school and my car is paid off. (Now, though, my family is broke- Dad was a sales manager at a builder's supply company, and when the economy tanked, they used his team's poor sales as an excuse to fire him. He was a scapegoat, plain and simple. Looking back, I'm sure they feel like morons for getting rid of him because he's a drat good leader and salesman, but... so it goes. No more college help from them, but they are helping with the wedding.) Oh, and there's really no night classes post-10 p.m., and even if there was, if I had to work the next day? No thanks.. They're really opposed to making "set" schedules for some loving reason.. I'd kill for the ability to work the same thing from week to week, at least then I could plan for poo poo. My store is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and occasionally I work that crazy-rear end 15 hour shift as the only manager. 35-40 hours a week doesn't SEEM like much compared to what some people work, but sometimes it's in stretched of 7-12 days in a row with no days off. Like, I had yesterday off, but I worked today, and my next day off is Saturday of NEXT week. Even if I work from 7 a.m.-1 p.m., my day is kinda shot.. I'm dead tired, since I probably didn't leave the building until 10:30 p.m. before, I still have to go to the gym every night (finally getting married in September, really pushing myself to get in shape), so I'm not in bed until midnight-1 a.m., up by 5:40 a.m. to get ready for work... It's a mess. And it's not like I'm just standing around there. There are weekly plan-o-grams that involve basically ripping a section apart and rebuilding it from scratch, crawling around on the floor for hours checking out-of-dates, stocking shelves, carrying my overstock up and down stairs (yay me, I got the overstock section in the loft that's up 26 stairs. Couldn't be light stuff like paper towels- oh, no! I get 50 pound crates of shampoo...), so it's pretty physically demanding every day. By the time I get to get off work, I'm zonked. It's all I can do to get an hour of elliptical time at the gym every night. TShields fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Apr 23, 2011 |

TShields posted:Any regular of this thread can tell you all about me. I want to do anything- ANYTHING- that will pay me more than I'm making now and isn't (pretty much everything but office jobs) I've been rooting for you a lot earlier in the thread, but jesus christ man, poo poo or get off the pot. Your work place will never give you a raise. At this point, it'd be better for you to stop working so hard that you have no energy to do anything other than min wage slave labour. Your work place does not give a poo poo about you - Yeah, don't slack off and smoke weed every shift but dude, stop working yourself to death. If you're too tired and stressed you can't even get proper job searching done, so you're really burning yourself at both ends of the wick. I hope things get better soon for you.

Remember that bit in Office Space where he basically goes, "the only motivation I have for working harder is not being lectured by my bosses"? It's kind of the same thing. Whether they can fire you or not is fairly-irrelevant, it's just having to deal with constant bitching from higher-ups.
