Our union rep was there when we walked out. And I work(ed) for Meijer. Edit: I used to be Skelaboo. My store was the one threatening to pat us down before we leave. UwUnabomber fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Stuff like that needs to happen more. Unfortunately, the number of unionized stores in the US is a tiny fraction of the total, and most places would prefer to fire every employee and close the store before allowing a union (looking at you, walmart). Apparently it's not illegal union busting if you just outright close the business.

That's literally what my shift is. 10 hour shifts with a 30 minute unpaid break and a 30 minute paid break 4 nights a week. The 10 hours can be grueling but I get 3 days off/week which is lovely. Also I came from food service where I was working 12+ x5 sometimes while telling my manager "No I will not loving come in 7 days a week" almost weekly. I could definitely see it being a massively unwelcome shock if you're used to 8 hours. So yeah I'm already Megacyling. It has it's perks...it also really loving sucks because my time off really doesn't line up with a lot of other people's free time. For reference: -I'm FHN (Front Half Nights) So I work 7 PM to 5:30 AM Sun-Weds nights. -BHN works 7 PM to 7:30 AM Thurs-Sat nights (with a pay increase to bring them up to about the same weekly wage in 36 hours compared to what we make in 40). On one hand I'd have 4 shifts off on the other hand holy poo poo 12 hour shifts loving suck. -Front Half Days is the same days as FHN. They're considered the standard shift where "normal" people go. -RT (Reduced Time) is basically Back Half Days but without the pay increase, it's basically "College Student: The Shift" -And Days also has the Doughnut Shift which is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday so you get your 3-days off split up.

I'm glad to be wearing a mask today. Not because of its protective effects, but because I heard a customer grumbling to the person they were with that "all the stuff up front is awful, just get the stuff in the back." Not even 5 minutes earlier I finished up rotating, and remember I do reverse rotations now so I put the old stuff in the back. I looked over, saw that the person was indeed grabbing from the back and flashed the absolute biggest poo poo eating grin I could muster. Good thing it was concealed by the mask.

I'm a man that runs hot and is always sweaty. I used to use Mitchum gel, but it ruined my shirts. Eventually I switched to basic Dove solid, original clean - smells neutral, doesn't gently caress my shirts up. Marketed for women, but its the best deodorant I've ever used.

Speed Stick in Irish Spring scent works great for me. Make sure you use a white stick not a gel. My clothes always rub the gels off when I move around a lot.

I just use sweatblock and order them online. I'm a sweaty mess most shifts so I found they helped heaps. They work like 5-7 days so you just reapply once a week, or more often at the start if you need to. Then I combo it with some cologne depending on what I'm feeling. Nothing worse than going through a shift stinking of BO.

There are days where I consider not wearing deodorant, wearing dirty clothes, not showering and just come to work smelling like dick so customers would give me some loving space. There is over 5 foot of lettuce. You don't have to stand right loving next to me when I intentionally stand at the very edge for the explicit purpose of letting you have the entire other side to pick over the product.

I once had a lady give the store a compliment on the way out because she’d been doing Christmas shopping all day long and she liked how nice all our staff smelled compared to the other stores she’d visited that day. I use a drystick from these guys for my deodorant needs: http://myauraorganics.com I alternate between the bergamot/lime/coconut scent and the rose/vanilla/jasmine.

im not very sweaty but i hate how old spice and other gel deoderants because they seem to just add a more powerful smell to your own BO. I always feel like i can still smell both. That said i use the arm and hammer brand ultra max stuff. Slightly fresh smell but i generally dont notice it all day.

Served a customer today who was all bundled up, nose red (from what I could see since his mask was, thankfully, over it) and complaining about the icy wind outside. Understandable, the UK is getting some cold weather/snow etc. coming over from the east. Literally the very next customer I served was wearing shorts. Why do men wear shorts in the winter I don’t understand

Understandable, the UK is getting some cold weather/snow etc. coming over from the east. As someone who has a tendency to melt, some people just generate more heat, and bundling up makes things unbearable. I'm not "shorts in the snow" warm, but warm enough and I can totally understand.

I heard some guy having a chuckle that folks were sliding away from him because he wasn't wearing a mask. I wanted to dump the meat off the plastic tray in my hands and just double-hand chop it into the side of his loving head. Almost half a million Americans are dead, countless more scarred, physically and emotionally, and not only do you not give a poo poo, but trying to protect yourself is funny. Hilarious. gently caress yourself.

I'm enjoying seeing the absolute big brain of couples where one is wearing a mask and the other isn't. Like do you loving people not know how the drat thing spreads? If the maskless one catches it ,you go home, you take that mask off, they breath on you, good going!

Costco opens at 10. So I am there at 920 or so to start/get in line. I want in, and out. And never fails to amuse me how people will line up after me, and then about 945/950 people come up, see the line stretching past the building, and hang around the entrance like kids at their first high school dance, awkward and looking around to see if anyone will let them cut. Old people are really bad at doing that. No, fucker, there is clearly no Senior Hour posted, get your rear end in line.

Lines to get in. Last summer the line went clear around the building and through part of the parking lot. A new Costco was opened about 15 miles away but I doubt any of the retirees dare to go out that way.
