It is an abnormally insane price for Copper River salmon, but they were asking it. Most places it's usually around $25/lb for CR King salmon and like $18/lb for CR sockeye or other non-King option. Salmon that doesn't have "Copper River" in the title is about half of the CR priced stuff most places here, and I'm not even talking about the farmed Atlantic salmon. That is usually about $6/lb and not very good.

Jerry Cotton posted:And here I thought just Internet was expensive in the US This year, copper river salmon costs resturants $50/lb so retail's going to be more. It only applies to salmon from one particular area. Honestly, it is a good product, but not worth the extra. Admittedly, our local fishmonger has sourced some really good farmed salmon from BC for <$10 and that is basically all I eat at this point. The wild markup isn't quite worth it.

Whether or not what coke did was an accident or ingenious marketing marketing ploy remains to be seen afaik Believe it or not, they didn't actually lose a significant amount of sales, the switch back didn't gain them a huge market share back (apparently the taking-back-the-lead from Pepsi was due to Cherry Coke coming out the same year) and New Coke/Coke II held a few percentages of the national market for years afterwards, so they came out ahead in every way without really losing more than a small fraction of customer loyalty. Also the funniest thing is that most people actually liked New Coke, it was a small but extremely vocal minority that killed it - the original 4Chan invasion or whatever: people who disliked it (mostly rednecks) were so furiously vocal about it that nobody really wanted to come out and be like "well actually I really like it." quote:New Coke continued to do what it had originally been designed to do: win taste tests. In 1987, The Wall Street Journal surveyed 100 randomly selected cola drinkers, the majority of whom indicated a preference for Pepsi, with Classic Coke accounting for the remainder save two New Coke loyalists. When this group was given a chance to try all three in a blind test, New Coke slightly edged out Pepsi – yet many drinkers reacted angrily to finding they had chosen a brand other than their favorite.[21] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke

loving ancient geezers asking for a veterans discount then when I ask to see a former military ID or Veterans Affairs card they get abusive is always the funniest goddamn thing 'cause store policy is Active Duty Only At Clerks Discretion. Usually the only ones who get it at my shop are the ones who actually are subtle and use their active duty ID as a form of identification. Same goes for people who want to haggle on bottles. Don't demand a discount just because you're alive (this actually happened to me once), start trying to figure out what are slow moving products that I might be amenable to negotiations about. Context: I manage a liquor store.

I've worked a handful of retail jobs over the past 9 or so years and built up a healthy distaste for my fellow man. When I worked at RadioShack seven years ago there was one woman who came in and attempted to return a product without the original packaging, over a year old, and with no receipt. The coworker she was dealing with was a doughy, balding man in his mid 40s who was too meek to raise his voice or anything when the situation warranted. She insisted on doing a cash return, and despite my coworker's best efforts to inform her that we couldn't do that, she trotted out excuses about really needing the money and having been in the hospital for a year. She may very well have been in such a situation, but that doesn't change the fact that this item isn't even inventoried anymore. She wouldn't take 'no' for an answer, so I sidled up, looked her square in the eye and said "Ma'am, our rules are the same for everyone, whether they're alive and kicking or laying on their death bed." She took exception, of course, "I have never been spoken to like that in my life." "I'm glad I could be your first, then." She stormed out, but not before wishing that my coworker and I die from prostate cancer. Another time at RadioShack, we received multiple calls from this lady who insisted that her neighbor's computer was reading her mind and giving her migraines. The first few times I tried to patiently explain to her why that can't be possible, but after the fifth time I informed her she shouldn't call anymore because the CIA had bugged our phone lines and they know all about her. Nowadays I work for Lego, which is awesome because I can actually get passionate about the product and feel good about selling it. I'd say that 98% of the customers we get are neutral or well-behaved enough that there aren't any issues. People often say to me "Wow, you work in a toy store? I bet you have to deal with a lot of lovely kids!" They're surprised at first, but then understand when I tell them I rarely have problems with the children and more often have problems with the adults. The one child I legit got angry at was this Chinese child about 4 years old. He ran into our store, grabbed a box off the shelf, then ran out the door with it and threw it over the balcony to the first floor, where it nearly struck someone in the head. What made it worse, though, was this kid's parent or grandparent thought it was the most hilarious thing ever and was all smiles patting the kid on the head. Another grand time, a pregnant woman and her familial entourage come in and they're just hanging around while their 15 month old is playing with the loose Duplo bricks we have set up for the toddlers to play with. Kid's putting pieces in his mouth left and right, so I do what I usually do in these situations. I say loud enough for the parent to hear, but in a friendly tone, "Hey, buddy, you shouldn't put those in your mouth, you might get sick!" This is a very plausible outcome, considering how many children touch those parts every day. Normally pointing this out is enough to get the parent to notice and take care of the parenting aspect of the situation as they see fit. Not so with this woman. She just smiles and watches as her toddler continues to explore every part with his tongue. I shrug it off and help other customers, only to find the kid is still shoving pieces in his gob 15 minutes later. With a concerned tone of voice I inform the mother, "Ma'am, I can't have him putting all these parts in his mouth, it's not safe." She smiles and says to me "If you know a way to keep a 15-month old from putting things in his mouth I'd love to hear it." Normally you don't advise people on how to parent their children, but this woman pretty much gave me carte blanche to drop parental pointers on her. All it took was three words to piss her off: "Pick him up?" She did and haughtily informed me that she's never shopping in our store again. Oh no, how will I do without your business of buying nothing and letting your child ingest whatever he finds  We also have a store policy about leaving children unattended. Whenever a child who looks to be below the age of 14 enters the store unaccompanied by an adult, we'll wait 30 seconds before approaching them and politely asking how old they are and, if they're too young, if they know where their parents are. Nine times out of ten it's no big deal and they'll run off to find their parent who will reluctantly accompany them into the toy store. Then there's the people who think that a toy store is equivalent to a nanny service. "What do you mean I can't let my child spend an hour in your store while I'm on the other side of the mall?" "I've spent so much money here and you won't watch my children for 15 minutes?" Somehow it escapes them that just because you've paid us lots of money for toys that automatically makes us qualified babysitters. It's always fun explaining to them that if there was some sort of emergency we cannot be held responsible for whatever happens to their unattended kid.

Whether or not what coke did was an accident or ingenious marketing marketing ploy remains to be seen afaik Right now, in Australia, they've stopped making Coke Zero and have replaced it with Coke No Sugar. Their reasoning is that people didn't know that Coke Zero has zero sugar in it. Firstly, that's the stupidest loving name change in the history of humanity. Secondly, how loving stupid are people? What did they think the "zero" stood for? Thirdly, it tastes like they've dumped in ten times as much artificial sweetener as Zero. It's just overbearing. I mean, I could handle the name change, but why change the formula too? I'm hoping they're going to New Coke things and go back to the original formula soon. EugeneJ posted:I have a family member that does this - she refuses to pull ahead when they're making a milkshake because "IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FAST FOOD I buy junk once a week and, without fail, there will be someone like that in line ahead of me. There are usually two windows, one to order and one to pay, and enough of a gap between the two to fit a car. So, the way it's supposed to go is that you order, pull forward as far as you can while the person in front of you collects their stuff, allowing the person behind you to make their order. Efficient and fast. But, no matter which lovely junk food place I choose, the middle car never pulls far enough forward, meaning everything slows right down. I wonder if it's just that they don't realise there's a huge gap at the front of their car, or they don't realise they're stopping the person behind them from ordering and slowing everything down or, they're doing it deliberately to be a jerk because petty power trippers are loving everywhere.

I worked at a retail pharmacy where we did not officially have public restrooms but, if you thought the customer was okay you could let them use it as long as you escorted them. We also had an understanding that men cleaned then men's room and women cleaned the women's room. I was the only man that worked in the store and was out on a long weekend when someone decided to let a customer use the men's restroom. I come back to a clogged toilet, flooded bathroom and poo poo strewn over all of the walls. This mess had clearly been left for days. My manager comes to me and we have this conversation: I need you to clean the men's restroom. No. Men clean the men's restroom so you're doing it or we're going to have to have a serious conversation. Still no, whoever let the shitter in cleans the mess.My manager proceeds to dramatically march back to the stock room and starts to rant about teamwork, corporate buzzword bullshit and the needs of the businesss. I tuned everything out until I got threatened with being fired. I interupted the rant and said "I don't care I am not cleaning up poo poo for near min wage." My manager gets red in the face and storms out so I go back to work. I get a write up for teamwork and they start loving with my hours so I put my two weeks in before a holiday I want to enjoy which gets another rant about the needs of the business and how could I.

RE: ID/Smokes/Booze talk a few pages back. I was working in a small corner shop (we sold mostly non-alcoholic soft drinks, fried fast food, sandwiches, burgers, ice creams, smokes and a small selection of groceries) through my early-mid university life. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon shift about an hour after the end of the lunch time rush and I'd finished up cleaning out the hotbox when in walks a very young girl, about 6 or 7 years old I'd say. I distinctly remember the exchange that followed when she approached the counter: "Hi there, what can I get for you?" "Can I please have a pack of 30 Horizon Reds?" And there is stunned silence for a minute as I try to process that a 7 year old just asked me for cigarettes. "No you can't. You do understand what you are asking for right? I can't sell smokes to someone your age, it is very illegal." "Ok sorry." And out she walks, I glance up to see her approaching the door of a car near the entrance that I note contains the large form of a very annoying mouthy regular who comes in a few times a week. The annoying regular looks irate for a minute talks to the child who then walks back in to the shop. "My auntie says she can't come in because she's got the baby in the car outside she points outside to the angry looking, now waving at me regular so can you please give me the smokes to carry out to her." "Ok little one, you can tell your auntie that under no circumstances what so ever will I give you a packet of cigarettes; whether or not she has a baby in the car. It is very very illegal to sell them to you even if she asked you to get them for her and even if she is just outside watching you." Out trots the child once again. She talks to her auntie and runs back in. "Can you get them and bring them out to her?" "No, if she wants them she has to come in or send in an adult." I make sure to stare at the irate regular as the child tells her my response, so looking very annoyed out she heaves herself from the car and walks into the shop red in the face. "You can fuckin' see me out there, why can't you fuckin' give her the smokes? I got a baby in the car and you're making me come in for one packet!" I point at the sign and the camera next to it. "First off it's VERY illegal to sell smokes to a minor, secondly there would be video evidence so even if I WAS inclined to do you a favor there would be a recording of me breaking the law, third I can't carry them out to you for the same reasons and forth if you want the drat smokes mamn you should come and get them yourself instead of sending in your niece barely out of huggies to get them for you; now do you want your Horizons or do you want to get out of my shop?" As you can expect she really DID want those smokes so she droped the money on the counter, very carefully watched me as I took the 5 cents change out of the till and handed it to her with the smokes and said "Have a nice afternoon miss." A few days later when I was talking to my cool older manager/co-owner of the shop he told me there was a complaint made against me by a lady who I refused to give smokes to. Told him the story and he was just dumbfounded at the stupidity of people. Gridlocked fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Jun 27, 2017 |

The vast majority of colossal assholes do not have that kind of money. I worked at a Starbucks once and we had one customer who showed up everyday around 11 in his lambo and his amex black and designer clothes to order stuff and he was totally fine and obviously living a life of laid back hedonistic retirement in his early 30s where as I had no leas than a dozen old ladies scream bloody murder in my face because they dont understand that a cappuccino has milk foam in it not milk like a latte even after having it explained to them prior to serving.

We just never heard about it because they'd rather not argue with us over something that they would probably call a "a legal gray area", which really means that they don't loving understand the laws their own store is bound to.

There was a time at the Giant that I worked at where the new 2nd shift manager was trying to buy beer on the clock and without an ID. The guy working the beer garden, rightly, told him "no". That manager then told the store manager that the employee wouldn't sell him beer because he was a bad employee and I think tried to imply that it was because he (the manager) was black. When they asked the kid why he wouldn't sell to the manager, he explained that he was buying it on the clock (against company policy) and without an ID (against the law), and the shift manager was basically laughed at and told that the kid was in the right. The kid would later be fired for blowing up at a customer who blew up at him for not accepting a non-photo military ID to buy beer. Again, the kid was in the right, but was fired because A) A customer and  VETERAN complained, and B) The shift manager wanted him fired for the first incident, and was looking for an excuse.

Oh boy, I just remembered another one. We talk about middle aged women being terrible customers, but every so often you get the douchebag husband instead who's like "pff, I usually never have to do this." (like, go grocery shopping) this is the same guy that says "I'm babysitting the kids tonight." Anyway, speaking to an even older generational version of this nonsense I once had this old man in my line when I was working the regular registers who said the first line and then proceeded to have trouble with the card terminal "I've never used one of these before ". The girl running the front end came over to help, and was completely amicable and friendly. Despite that, the very moment he figured out what he was doing, he waved her off to leave. No thank you, not eye contact, just a vague shooing motion.To be fair I don't remember too many details other just that he did other similar things, but holy poo poo I thought that was rude. Like this guy was an actual dinosaur who never leaves his house and never interacts with people. Ever. Nobody particularly liked this girl either, but I don't think anyone deserved that.

I don't know how she survived the scathing and dismissive hand wave. Truly a high price you pay, when in retail.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:I was talking about 50 dollars a pound at restaurants and retail being higher. Pike This is absolutely true, and tourists most definitely do buy fish to pack and ship home. The airport here even has a little room near the baggage claim for handling fresh fish on ice. $50/lb wholesale seems steep to me, but I could see it happening.

People already working a soul-crushing job don't need to be treated like gutter trash just for trying to help. A simple "no thank you" costs nothing, and makes the employee feel like a fellow human being! Crazy, I know.

Between that and the old lady who forgot her ID to buy some smokes; I don't know how people handle the stressors.
