Zenithe posted:It's been suggested in Australia as surge pricing a la Uber. I'd honestly be interested to see them try and run that, purely because of how much of an absolute garbage fire that would be in practice. How could this even work? Grocery stores rely heavily on printed fliers advertising their sales. If the prices change all the time they can't advertise anything.

The Lord Bude posted:Legitimate businesses pay employees by direct deposit to their bank account. The last time I had an employer give me a physical paycheck was in 1996. It was a struggling computer repair/consulting shop and all the employees would scramble to the nearest Kroger to cash it because we were hemorrhaging money. One time, while the owners were on a week long Disney vacation with their families our office manger had to use the company AmEx to make payroll.

Companies advertising the price+tax allows them to post a deceptively lower powwow which might be just enough to entice the consumer to make a purchase. Even when it gets rung up higher they might buy it anyway.

Yeah the US has a population of 323.1 million Australia - 24.13 million We have 2 states with bigger population than that. CA 39.1 million and TX 27.4 , and 2 close to that FL 20.2 and NY with 19.7. We have 3007 counties, all of which have different sales tax, and 19,354 towns and cites, all of which have different sales tax on top of that. You can cross the street somewhere and the tax is higher because you are in a different county or town. And we have this bullshit in some places, where a town is inside of another one. It would be a huge undertaking. Hell we cant even agree on legalizing weed on a state by state basis. limpy wimpy fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Aug 16, 2017 |

But you're so out of touch and historically ignorant that you can't differentiate between a 1930's German workers party and rejection of postmodernism.

In Oregon, sales tax is constuitionally verboten. Therefore, all prices advertised are accurate. Also, gently caress Oregon.

This is nothing but imagining what a good system would actually look like. Or a better one, anyway.

Fo3 posted:This is not "horrible customers: the retail workers stories"! I'm confused and angry. Get me your manager! I'm sorry, sir or madam. You are still in the right thread, but have stepped into the derail section. Perhaps I can help you find what you need. One customer I'll always remember is one who complained that every time she came in to get lunchment, the slicer happened to be down for cleaning. What ended up being the truth, which I knew because I was the one who had to deal with her every time, was that she'd come in the same time every visit, which was a half hour before the end of 2nd shift, which was literally the only time every day that the slicers were taken fully down for cleaning. Anybody else would've figured out on their own that that's the case, but she felt the need to complain to a manager, even after it was explained to her.

I'm beginning to feel like working in a grocery store is a death sentence on a resume. Unless you're one of the lifers who somehow survives long enough to get a manager's position, a grocery store experience is worth less than nothing if you want to branch out into other job fields. The only people who will look at your resume will be other grocery stores because they know they can treat you like poo poo.

Man have we had some good ones at the store where I work. The best poo-related story was some old lady with irritable bowel or crohns came in, tried to use the customer bathroom. It was locked (It's a one-person job so someone was in there) and begged a co-worker to let her use the employee bathroom. Co-worker agrees and starts escorting the old woman through the break room, later realizing she was leaving a little poo poo trail along the way. We had a customer just recently throw her credit cards and money at one of the managers. She came in the day earlier and I helped her, putting a patio seating thing on hold for her. I was off the day she came back, and the new manager couldn't find where we stored that table, told the customer and she lost her poo poo. Started screaming and crying and throwing her stuff all over. I've had a little old black lady that looked a heartbeat away from death suddenly put a hand on my shoulder while I was stocking and ask "Do you know <some bible verse>?" I said no and she quoted it to me, saying I was doing the lords work. It was actually weirdly sweet. Honestly, it's not the customers that drive me up the wall, it's the employees. Our pay rates are poo poo, so we have a revolving door of turnover, mostly 18 year old kids that could give a single gently caress. Then I have to take them around and explain in very small words how to literally put things on a shelf and not gently caress it up. Then they don't listen and I get the store manager and district manager up my rear end. Basically, if you get offered a management position, just say no.

Yawgmoth posted:It's slightly better than a huge gap in your employment, but yeah trying to use retail experience for anything is poo poo since most people doing interviews have never had to even consider that retail employees are real people. It doesn't help that I'm also getting a larger work gap due to my poo poo credentials. After I quit my last job since I moved closer to school, I had enough saved up that I made it through the school year on savings. Not to sat I didn't go job hunting during this time but nobody wants a grocery clerk. So my gap gets larger.
