I'm still horrified that Abcde is real. Mum was like "omg there's an Abcde in this class I'm teaching", I'm like "mum no that's a racist joke" but I came in to do some helping out at the school and saw the roll and yeah there's a girl called Abcde  If it's not on her birth certificate it's at least how she was enrolled at the school.

Acute Grill posted:Don't most places have special areas for management to park? Like, my work has all the choice spots reserved for top management, and then the second-tier parking is for supervisors, a very small number of spots near the public entrance for visitors, and then it's the thunderdome for everyone else. I think big companies with deep pockets do but I've literally never worked in a place where management got special parking spots. The closest to special parking was that I worked at a place where you either got provided with an all you can ride bus pass or a card for the nearest parking garage. There were no special spots; it was just a park there free as much as you like as long as you need sort of thing.

RoboRodent posted:Not turning wine bottles back doesn't inconvenience middle class customers. It inconveniences the store staff making minimum wage who have to go look for and then turn them back around, because management is on their case about the "mess." I work at a liquor store so this is exactly what I meant. They leave trash in displays or on the floor, leave bottles in the beer cooler they got from the wine aisle across the store when they change their mind, leave sample cups from wine tastings on the shelves, pick something up then put it in front of another product literally right next to it, leave six packs dangerous dangling over the edge of a rack, shove six packs back sideways, take product from the cooler and leave it condensating and lukewarm elsewhere, throw their money on the counter at checkout, not brush out their shoes on the carpets at the door and track in dirt/snow/paint/dogshit, pull sweaty money out of their tits, leave broken poo poo lying there and tell no one if it seems like it wasn't heard, etc. etc. etc. Thank gently caress I get paid way above minimum wage or I would have lost my mind long ago. Customers aren't just verbally or emotionally obnoxious, they do everything in their power to be as completely inconsiderate and lazy as possible. The thing that pisses me off the most is that if you were watching them they'd never do 90% of this poo poo since they know it's rude and inconsiderate, but when no one is watching, of course. Just pisses me off especially because my parents very deliberately and specifically disciplined me to be as considerate as possible in stores and public spaces.

Kid's like "oh no mummy pick it up that's littering!  " And the mum just says "no, leave it, the lady will pick it up" and just... Walks off.

The place I worked couldn't sell booze because Pennsylvania but you'd have customers doing poo poo that was just as inconsiderate. Sometimes it's on purpose because some people are just dicks. Somebody once hid an entire fish behind a shoe display that we didn't find right away. The craziest part is that we didn't sell entire fish. Other than that people would decide they didn't want something they'd get in the meat department and just throw it on any old shelf, refrigerated or not. The frozen aisle would constantly have random crap that shouldn't be frozen just stuffed in the freezer. People would also sneakily eat things then just leave the container hidden somewhere.

I really hate that “oh the employees will pick up after me” poo poo. Yeah, they WILL, but it means taking time out of their actual normal work to do it. Their job is not to do the sort of basic picking up and putting thinga back we teach four-year-olds. I work at a vet’s office so it’s a step above retail hell but it still happens. Coffee cups, spills, indoor dog piss they xouldn’t be bothered to even mention so it dries and smells instead being a fast easy cleanup job!!, fast food trash, etc. The worst is people leaving dog poop outside, sometimes in places where other loving patrons can easily step in it, when there’s multiple signs pointing to our dog poop bag dispensers and associated trash cans. Yes we will do it for you but it means someone whose job is making your dog not die gets sent out of the hospital to go waste time on poop patrol. You fucker.

They walk through like a tornado and gently caress the place up then are all "oh my goodness, who made this atrocious mess?!? What do I even give you money for if you can't clean this place? Why I'm leaving a bad review." You did you fucker. You and everybody like you that chooses not to have basic loving decency. Why yes I did work for a decade with the public doing various retail, restaurant, and convenience work and am now at record setting levels of generalized misanthropy, why do you ask?

I worked at a Gamestop for a year and it was bad enough to ensure that I will never work retail again. Highlights included spending all morning re-alphabetizing the PS2 section (this was like, a decade ago) only for people to immediately come over when I was finished and get it all out of order again, having to explain to people why they were only going to get twenty cents for their traded-in copy of Madden '01, and literally watching someone walk out of Wal-Mart with a handful of stolen games, come across the parking lot to us, and want to trade them in for cash.  ...do we have a 'retail worker nightmare stories' thread anywhere?

Len posted:Probably a lot of paperwork if you take stolen goods Skwirl posted:If the theft is reported and they catch the thieves and they trace it to the Gamestop. There was literally nothing we could do about it. Gamestop couldn't turn down trade-ins with a legit reason, and we couldn't accuse of them stealing them without 100% concrete evidence that they were stolen. Otherwise we'd be opening ourselves up to a lawsuit. Wal-Mart didn't give a poo poo either. They lose so much money in shoplifting every year, but it's a drop in a bucket compared to how much they make in profits. It's kind of ridiculous. Our manager would call the head manager of the Wal-Mart whenever it happened, and the guy would just shrug and tell us not to worry about it. Skwirl posted:The rest sounds terrible, and I'm sure there was a bunch of other indignities, but I can't imagine giving a poo poo about people shoplifting from a different store. It's more the principal of it. I don't give a poo poo if you steal from Wal-Mart, but this older man and woman was doing it consistently two or three times a week. One of them would come in with the same stack of stolen games from the discount bin at Wal-Mart. It was poo poo that was never going to sell so it was just clogging up our limited store space. It didn't help that it was just the discs, too, so we had to print labels and make cases for them and it was really just a giant pain in the rear end.

GameStop must have changed their policy because I legit bought a game that I never opened for two years and figured, I’ll never play this, I’ll just take a hit and sell it to buy another game I want that’s been out a while. They wouldn’t buy it because it was still in the packaging.

That's still the policy. That's always been the policy as far as I know. The people stealing games from Wal-Mart were cutting the cases open and sliding the discs out, and then just bringing us the discs.

knowing them, there is probably some policy saying they have to pay near full retail for an unopened game instead of their standard offer of 1-5 dollars in store credit even if the game came out yesterday.

Some games just sell like hot cakes. I once got about $20 for a game I don’t even remember what it was, expressing surprise that I was going to get that much. It’s all about how many used copies of whatever game they have been selling lately, and they said this one had been really popular still.

I remember long ago there was a post on these forums about how a goon was doing vague white powder ">0.001milligram dosages will irreparably gently caress you up" tier drugs and his dad found his drug stash and rubbed some of it on his gums thinking it was sugar or something. Then several hours later said goon finds his dad in his underwear in the kitchen asking him if he wants eggs for breakfast while an entire loaf of bread in the plastic wrap and a full carton of eggs was burning in a frying pan on the stove long enough to become a fire hazard. Unfortunately I cannot find the post or story  If anybody had the vaguest idea what I'm talking about or a link to it, that would be most appreciated.
