investments necessitate the purchase of a piece of the means of production, and therefore you are profiting from wage theft. but also: the capitalists sell you the rope etc.

You can just leave it in a savings account and let the bank profit off investing it if you prefer. Or you could withdraw it, stuff it under the mattress and allow it to depreciate due to inflation.

It's going to depreciate now due to inflation whatever you do with it (well except maybe for bitcoins & crossed fingers!) Though maybe investing in pitchforks & flaming torches might be an idea for the coming months..

lmao our customers are all over facebook saying I'm rude and awful and the place is going downhill and I grabbed their child's arm (wtf) and the instigator is someone I *know* I was pleasant to, this is great, why the gently caress do I go to work. And why did anyone think I needed to see this poo poo? gently caress off with your screenshots, this is why I don't have facebook in the first place. People think 'rude' is anything that isn't 'yes of course I will do exactly what you want right now'.

Customers in general should be barred from being out in public. Shops should be only for people who work there, people who appreciate the effort that goes into it.

Ah that's right, you're a pharmacist. I can understand that people who are desperate for medications are at the end of their rope but it's not like you're the one who made them sick. If anything you're helping them be the opposite.

If you work in a pharmacy you're a pharmacist.  You might not have a pharmacology degree but as far as I'm concerned I insert coin and get pill so who cares.

I have made it clear to the person who showed me screenshots that I never, ever want to know about any of that poo poo again. If they complain to the company I will deal with it. If they're just enjoying their bitch session on facebook, I don't wanna know. I have enough trouble working out what the gently caress people think 'rude' is without this poo poo.

Customers are very strange sometimes, we once had someone march in to rate us 'very unsatisfactory' in our customer survey, and then leave immediately. The absolute kicker was that they asked for a pen, was given one, and then used it to say that staff were unhelpful. I'm sorry that people are being unpleasant, Hopper, and hope your managers are supportive!

I sure wouldn't. I worked retail for a Saturday job during A levels. Hence whatever moves I was able to make (not much, such things are mostly luck) in my subsequent career was aimed towards never ever having to interact with the General Public, ever again, ever. o7 to those that can, or have to, do it HopperUK posted:It's just a bunch of facebook gossips having their fun.

Every level above him might as well be staffed by a brick wall. We've been told not to raise complaints about staffing levels any more. I am going to write to my union. ...it's only Unite but eh.

Minicurve works at Aldi, customers are old and they had to bring in a security guard to get rid of the shoplifters, but they still do actual contracted hours with time and a half on bank holidays and the staff all get along. 2 pay rises this year to keep up with inflation and they gave everyone a £40 voucher so they could buy Christmas dinner on them. But yeh customers, and the elephant in the room of them doing entire Christmas week takings even on a damp Tuesday ever since Truss.

Rarity posted:"The customer is always right" was the worst thing to ever happen to customer service Especially since all it ever meant as a maxim was "the customer is never wrong (in matters of taste)". So if you were a Savile Row tailor and your man wanted some gaudy poo poo you did it for him cause it's his money. In everything else, the customer is usually thick as gently caress and very wrong and also often smell like poo poo

Customers are universally wankers and I will never miss having to deal with them. Having appliances in a variety of weights and sizes launched at you by irate dickheads on more than one occasion is a great motivator to start climbing the career ladder though.

Mercifully my combination of being apparently very physically intimidating while being posessed of irreproachable charm means that people are rarely unpleasant to me directly. Worst I ever personally got was a parade of old women fondling my hair and one bloke who unsolicitedly told me that working cosmetics was women's work, concerning which I was so baffled both by the idea that he thought I needed to know that or that in tyool 2018 or so somebody actually thought that, that I was unable to respond.

Rarity posted:"The customer is always right" was the worst thing to ever happen to customer service Hah. This reminds me of an anecdote that goes nowhere. Onions on belts, everyone, listen up. When I started my Saturday job in the mid-80s (see above, update your XLSXs) the ONLY training I got was, literally, being told "The Customer Is Always Right" by the Personnel manager (this was pre-Human Resources), and how to work the till and the credit-card swiper. Nothing else. Just "The Customer Is Always Right", she said. Word for word. No context, no nuffin. And this was after the interview a month or so beforehand, where she'd leaned back in her chair, gestured to me, and said "sell yourself". She was later, um, let go -- for reasons unrelated to hiring me, you wags! But as you can guess, infer and glean from the above, it was because she was, in fact, quite obviously poo poo at her job. She'd learned the signifiers of her job, but not the actual job. It was perhaps my first real-world lesson that adults do not, in fact, have it together.
