Schnorkles: Apr 30, 2015; It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

I worked at WinCo in college and it was alright

"the customer is always right" has become a cultural norm and is part of the overlaying problem with this country

As a manager, my guiding philosophy on this gem was, "look, the customer is usually wrong, at least in part, but I'm the only one that's allowed to tell them that okay? So just come get me if they're making a scene and no I do not care about a comped french fry just do it"

The president�s advisers acknowledge privately that Trump�s unpredictable behavior could complicate the trip in ways big and small, from potentially escalating the crisis on the Korean Peninsula to flouting complicated rules of procedure. �You never know what he�ll say,� an administration official said, adding that the grueling schedule could heighten the risk of mistakes. An outside adviser to the administration concurred: �The potential for error is huge.�

imagine if on a foreign trip trump breaks protocol in a creepy and sexist way that only he could as a guy worse than every other previous republican like give angela merkel and unrequested back rub

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA wait you've NEVER worked retail?

Wow. Now I suddenly understand your "why do people stop working" post. I get the context of these words now.

let me ask you...on your current job, do you ever have to:

-stop people from letting their child come behind the register and take a literal piss in the trash can under the counter because they don't want to go find the bathroom and their son is "special-needs so he should be allowed to?"

-break the rules about not leaving the store in order to go have a good cry in your car on your short lunch break because an angry customer called you "a loving ugly cuntfaced bitch" because you couldn't do a return for him without a receipt on a 20$ item, and your manager came out and instead of defending you, threatened to have you disciplined or fired for arguing with the customer?

-sat in a bathtub for an hour every night after work to get the shooting pains in your legs to stop because your boss wants you to wear at least an inch high heel on a concrete floor all day because it's "just more professional"?

if not, well. check yo job privilege.

I worked for about six months at a Subway sandwich store during High School, during which time the most retail story thing ever it happened to me was random customer complaints and people showing up drunk or late. After High School, I enlisted in the Navy because I did not know that ROTC was a thing. While in the Navy I had a wide range of work environments, which range from being the senior guy in charge of about 20 dudes on a secure Shore facility in which I manage their schedules and unlocked and locked the building and otherwise didn't really have to do anything unless one of them f***** up, to working 16 to 20 hours a day underway seven days a week because my division chief was exactly every a****** retail store manager IE if you have time to lean you have time to clean so every piece of brass must constantly be polished during the regular working day on top of watch standing hours and since I was the junior guy I got to do the shity watch rotation in the middle of the night so I was constantly sleep-deprived and addicted to energy drinks, but that's just how things are for the new guy on the boat and presumably for the new guy at various other military thing so don't interpret this last little bit as me complaining. The things about the Navy that actually bothered me was the fact that every single command level and even division level guidance was written and presented as though for someone who could barely pass a GED, which is true because the people who barely passed the GED and list as on designated semen have to be able to understand it, and there were all sorts of kid proofing rules not meant for actual children but for the young dumb and full of c** idiots who are your United States sailors. After that, I took 6 months off to go live in Canada with my girlfriend, then spent 6 years in undergrad and grad school, then went to work for the state government. So yeah, no retail experience per se.

Helen Mayo just Helen Mayo at you having the luxury of sitting in a bath for an hour everyday after a long day to soak yourself and then trying to call me out for having a privilege work experience though LMAO

i actually went straight from landscaping to office work and frankly retail makes working 10 hours in the dirt and hot sun sound like a paradise

Of all the manual labor stuff I did before I fell into office jobs, landscaping at an apartment complex was without question the best by a considerable margin.

(The portion of that job that was cleaning out all the poo poo that spoiled college kids left behind when they abandoned their apartments for the summer was...not as good, but it wasn't dull!)

Actually, delivering/assembling office furniture wasn't bad either.

I haven't done much retail AND I AM NOT SORRY

retail companies do tons of poo poo that's illegal to their workers, they know most of their workers are too desperate for the paycheck to quit and too poor to hire a lawyer (and at the end of the day, you've sued your company for a payout thats usually like a quarter of your annual wages and companies can and will refuse to hire someone who sued their company)

Oh yeah, this was before forced arbitration existed so sometimes court cases weren't decided before they were held, so managers would fabricate evidence for wrongful termination suits and do poo poo like get people to sign incriminating statements by putting REFUSED TO SIGN: _________ and then telling them to sign that, which guess what, that's a signature boyo

One time I spent a half hour having my time wasted by some old guy who kept wanting me to track down different CDs we didn't actually have in stock, and always turned down my offers to put in an order for him or find it at a nearby Best Buy.

Once he left my manager told me the same guy had been kicked out of other Best Buys in the area for trying to lure children into the bathroom and apparently they couldn't kick him out preemptively at this one because what if he wants to buy something this time???

i worked three months in a texmex place and it was fine except that i saw firsthand what happens when you pay teenagers-20ishes $7.50-8.00/hr to clean and prepare food with minimal training or description of why action rather than how action

like, cleaning the food: the objective, idk if you know this, is to clean the food. you ain't just setting out to get it wet.

watched a dude mid-lettuce pile using the same sink & water as some other guy doing dishes because the food prep sink was broken or clogged or something (probably because no one was trained on how to not clog the sink lol)

it was *dishes dishes* *guy steps away from dish station A to dish station B, freeing sink briefly* *guy dunks lettuce in dish water, begins chopping, freeing the sink back for dish guy* & repeat until i said hey maybe don't
