You dont get to quantify that, just be polite and use common sense and your service will be good. Never fill these out. Also never fill them out because they are a trap used by employers to fire employees. Anything less than perfect 5* across the board will get the survey's subject reprimanded.

You’ve gotta be careful with that, though, the one place I worked at would have people leave all five’s... which was the low end of the scale, with one being the highest. At least if we were getting bitched at for it we could usually point to the comments and be like “why would they give us a bottom score and then say how helpful we were?”

Why do men trying to look good in photos never smile? It looks better than trying to smoulder like you’re a model. Lots of dudes end up just looking braindead. Eyes half open, mouth half open, looking blankly to the side.

I never smile in photos because I have some nerve damage that gives me a crooked-ish smile. It's actually kind of hard to notice but I'm pretty self-concious about it. I do at least keep my drat mouth closed in photos though.

I like the photos we have to take at work/for passports etc where the old lady scolds people who smile. You don't have to worry if you look good or bad, you just look neutral, which is appropriate for how i'm feeling at work - I'm not miserable but i'm certainly not having a good time.

People with hair that frequently falls in front of their eyes. It's not so much a thing with people I see in person but there are, for some reason, a lot of people on YouTube with haircuts that just seem like they must driving them insane. If you're brushing your hair out of your face sixteen times a minute, how is that not the most annoying thing in the entire loving world? How are you putting up with that? Just watching you do it makes me feel like I need to tie my own hair back, and my hair doesn't even do that! Get a hair tie!

I loathe posing for pictures so i just make a wry, one side of my mouth curled up, furrowed eyebrow smile I mean, it's not like I ever smile more than that anyway, my emotional register goes from "this is complete poo poo" all the way up to "that's pretty cool I guess".

The common thread about smiling in photos is "people doing something that is not their natural smile," I think. The best pictures and the ones that last are the ones that show people being genuine, with their natural, not put-on or stagey, smiles. Or who naturally smile with a twist or not smiling at all, if a person genuinely isn't smiley. Fwiw, crooked smiles are the most wonderful things. A lot of really beautiful people have lopsided smiles, and the lopsidedness is exactly what makes them beautiful. They are interesting and unique and nobody else in the world has the exact same one, and I love to see them and they make me happy. So I guess my pet peeve is that society somehow makes people feel like their natural smile isn't good enough. Bah humbug on that. TofuDiva has a new favorite as of 18:49 on Dec 1, 2019 |

I'm more likely to hide something by putting it in a prominent, well-lit spot with a note that says "notice this"! That may as well be phased out of our plane. Stuffing presents/surprises for her in a dark corner of the attic that she hasn't gone up to in two years, behind some ancient box? Chances are she'll have had a prophetic dream that something of dire importance remains within that abandoned box, and she'll go on an immediate and unspoken hunt upon waking.

When managers jump down your throat the one time you screw up. Who cares if you did it right for a solid year, if you are 12 hours late once, you get the browbeating lecture as if you just starting working here. I loving know I should have, relax, I'm doing it now.

PEOPLE THAT GO TO SELF CHECKOUTS BUT CANT USE THEM Jesus if you need to call the attendant over for instructions like “ok press search for produce... now hit the picture of the banana...” just get in a loving regular line you absolute boomer I’d pay a small fee for a grocery membership where the store kicked out self-checkout morons, aisle-blocking assholes, people that stop dead in their tracks in walkways, etc E: also your kid getting to “help” check out is not worth holding up the dozen+ people behind you Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 01:02 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Today I learned that sugar can't be sold there (because ... who knows, it didn't say) so it has to call somebody. Additionally they didn't honour the weekly flyer sales. No wonder everybody was in the regular line.

There's no reason why they couldn't have barcodes though, and it would make the process a lot simpler and lead to fewer delays. Why try to teach every single customer multiple systems when you could just use one system for everything? It's not the customer's fault that it's more complicated than it needs to be. They're not idiots for expecting every product to have a barcode because every product should have a barcode.

It seems like a waste since produce can't be uniform weight, like you scan it and then weigh it, scan it and then weigh it...how is that better than typing an easy to find number and weighing a bunch at once?

In Finland you just weigh the produce when you collect them way before checkout and get a barcode sticker. Is that not how it's done in other countries? The self-checkouts here don't have a scale at all. Andrast has a new favorite as of 10:09 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Get your sticker and then chuck in some more, but not enough to be conspicuous, into the bag. I have done this often and I feel no shame or regret.

It's partially my fault since the item that brought about this peeve reminder was in the common area, because I could easily hide things in my room, but I figured behind a couple things on top of the refrigerator was a good place to hide the packing tape on Saturday, only to find it gone on Sunday when I needed it. The bigger problem is she has a habit of not having a regular sleep schedule, so it seems like she's sleeping every time I'm looking for something she has "put away." Edgar Allen Ho posted:PEOPLE THAT GO TO SELF CHECKOUTS BUT CANT USE THEM Ugh, yeah, a week ago I came across someone that stopped their cart in the middle of an intersection that prevented anyone from getting around it. How hard is it to cross the intersection and park your cart against a shelf so people can at least get around while you're looking at the endcap? I get wanting your kids to help you, but at least wait until they're old enough that you should be teaching them how to do these things, like 12 years old. The only person it's cute to when they're 6 is you. Also, children in stores are the worst! I know I can't say that about all of them, but I swear it's the unruly ones and the parents who just don't care that they're running up and down aisles and generally becoming an environmental hazards that ruin it.

I've been a manager at many many places. We never used a survey to fire someone. Only for feedback to get better. MN is at-will. You can fire someone for no reason any time you want. You need to have cause. I worked for one place where upper management would have us fire staff like we were reaping wheat. Constant hire/fire cycle. Constant pipe-lining. Never needed to show cause of any sort.

in my industry ppl are routinely paid minimum wage and promised "performance bases bonuses" which turn out to be based not on throughput or other measurable things which can actually be affected by the person, but on getting all 10s on customer surveys and if your average drops below 9 you get $0 so anyone who believes they were gonna get more than minimum wage was fooled lql. end surveys tbh and especially end using them as a metric to discipline employees
