Could be, I took it as their attitude toward the customer when informing them they're out of whatever it is they wanted

Yeah the whole thing is talking only about stuff that affects customers, so "inventory shortages" just means "ugh I can't get my thing because they're out of it" and this is your fault for some reason, employee

yeah my retail experience says that if the customer leaves upset or unsatisfied then it's the fault of the customer service rep. if the reason they're upset is something out of the customer service representative's control like something being out of stock or really expensive it's still the CS person's fault, a good employee would have made the customer leave happy and satisfied anyway by like smiling more or something

what i suspect is that these metrics are for evaluating the entire store, and putting the blame onto cashiers for the negative evaluation happens indirectly and after the fact (as the manager tries to punish his subordinates for the things that were his fault)

i would be extremely surprised if any employees who aren't in charge of stocking/ordering are directly and explicitly blamed for inventory shortages by QA

This is correct and from the same shithead school of thought that a graph labeled bad-average-best where 5 is average anything less than 10 is grounds for immediate management and 8 or less is put on notice or fire the evaluated employee immediately territory.

I’m curious, do you have experience working in food service? Because absolutely people will just point at a sheet of paper taped to the wall in the break room and say, “welp the paper says this is your responsibility, it’s out of my hands!” About poo poo the employees have no control over

yes of course, i worked at an extremely large western fast food chain famous for its burgers with onion rings and barbecue sauce for many years

the only people who actually got treated brusquely by QA/OA were store managers and above

as for their demeanor towards us crew, you'd expect them to give us one of those little toys you see at the bank with wooden knobs and metal cords

That sign does seem to be written for a target audience of managers (hence instructions like HOLD YOURSELF & THE TEAM ACCOUNTABLE), but I'd imagine it's like, the lowest level of manager that's just someone who's worked there long enough that they get a fancier shirt or w/e

i quit because i learned to code (heh) and got a job offering $14/hr and the STORE MANAGER was like "you have to take that job, that's more than I make"

that was a long time ago, but it wasn't that long of a time ago.

the spicy chicken sandwich was $1.49 when I quit

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Much has been talked about how the Boomers were never really radical, which has made me think lately that the conservatism of the Silents and Greatest generation is probably exaggerated too, at least amongst the working classes. Somebody here posted a survey that showed that opposition to Vietnam was disproportionately skewed towards older people which goes against the Hollywood interpretation of that era.

Most boomers didn't go to college though. And alot of them were fist thumping troop supporters who voted for Nixon. I guess my point is that generational politics is bullshit then and now.

college had different consequences during the draft. if you dropped out, you were going to Vietnam. even the volunteers did so in the context of enlisting to avoid the infantry. “supporting the troops” didn’t really exist yet, it was a post facto response to the anti war movement. I agree that generational politics is in general bullshit, but at that moment, it served as a marker of the divide between white young people who supported the civil rights movement and their parents who did not.
