Also my ringtone when I have the sound on is Peaches en Regalia by Frank Zappa. I never confuse it with anyone else’s ringtone!

The galaxy brain ringtone is an old fashioned bell. Not even a digital cell phone ring from the 80s, but the sound of a bell from the 50s.

I had the CTU ringtone from 24 on my phone. Then I started watching the next season, and for the first five episodes I instinctively grabbed for my phone when there was a call on screen.

My dad has that and I hate it. e: scratch that, I meant the message notification, so imagine eating with the family and if dad's extra popular for some reason you keep randomly hearing a super loud 'GONG' Zanzibar Ham fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Dec 18, 2019 |

My ring tone for years was just my brother saying "Ring Ring" in a firm voice. He switched it as a joke, and I kept it because was extremely distinctive.

So, retail huh. It's not going too well. My experience from working in the places is that they're really glorified warehouses no matter what is sold. Also customers occasionally get angry because us employees don't know poo poo about the things we sell, but training is expensive, you know? One time I was working at a place selling building materials, and some guy told me straight out "I'm building a cabin, what would I need?". That's my story about retail, thanks for reading!

My text notification is that one guy saying "eight" from the Stanley Parable demo (but only the demo, as that sequence does not occur in the full game).

Cases where actually knowing poo poo and explaining it face to face helps is the niche retail could defend against online, but 1) training and disposable minimum wage labour are incompatible and 2) sales volume would be low. I wonder if there'd be a viable business model in becoming purchasing consultants and then offering to buy the costumer a complete package for a fee (vs them having to dig through 50 pages of search results for every but and bolt) as a service.

We have that for building a cabin, it's a combination of architects, contractors, project managers, etc. They all do one aspect of helping you build a cabin or whatever. The reason people forego that and wander into a home improvement store asking "how do I cabin?" is because they are cheap, and do not want to pay for people who know what the gently caress they're doing.

i think there's also an abusive expectation of retail workers in that those workers are supposed to spend all of their time being passionate and researching every aspect of the goods they sell so that they can deliver the highest possible level of customer service. any deviation from this unrealistic ideal is an excuse for someone to throw a tantrum

Which is why everyone needs to work retail. Those people are dumb as poo poo and then ultimately get their way cause big corporations will eat the loss to make the customer “happy” while grinding their workers to dust.

No specific employee should be expected to be an expert on everything. However, I do believe it's reasonable to task retail management with ensuring that there's at least one person who is an expert on any given thing, in the store. How consistent this needs to be depends, to me, on the size of the store. Some small operation? "Come back Tuesday, that's when Frank's in." But at a Home Depot or a Best Buy where there's tons of employees, yeah, there should be at least one around at any given time that can answer a moderately in-depth question about any given product. But it's management's responsibility to make that happen.

Haha gently caress, you have to pay more to get experts. You aren’t getting an “expert” on part time slightly above minimum wage.

It's very difficult to guarantee subject matter expertise on every issue through the day, when your overriding priority as a manager is to not give anyone full-time hours.

No retail employee is going to be a SME in roofs.

there's a difference in knowing about the products for sale in the store versus the kind of complex projects that can be undertaken with those products. i think this is especially true for hardware stores, where in the classic americana sense your hardware store employee is going to be some omnicompetent salty old white guy missing some fingers versus the reality of the person behind the paint counter being a mom on her second job who has been trained on how to mix and sell paint specifically

I work in a meat department for a company that's currently in the process of driving out all their experienced meat market managers and folk. Why? Because they make close to twenty dollars an hour, lots of legacy workers from back when we actually cut the lion's share of our meat instead of selling a lot of pre-pack. I've worked in the department for roughly two months now and we've still not had time to train me how to cut a steak. The time is not there. I know how to do it in theory, but I've only been shown once, and I'm not going to waste hundreds of dollars of ribeye and strip trying to wing out a sleigh of steaks to satisfy some finicky fucks who won't be happy with anything that falls from my knife. We've people ask us if we cut roasts, or if we'll cut this that or the udder thing for them. No, we don't. No, we can't. Even if I knew how, if I cut anything that isn't authorized, I'll get extremely fired. People ask me about the merits of this cut of steak versus that cut of steak. Just last night I told a guy, "I don't know, sir. It's a good week if I can afford to buy a cut of steak." It's even worse when people use old or regional names for cuts of meat. Y'all know what the gently caress a hog maw is? Pig stomach. You know what makes it better? When forty different geriatrics all have a different definition of what qualifies as a goddamn ham hock and none of them are satisfied with what you've got in stock. One of the few rewarding things at work is when I learn to do new tasks and accumulate knowledge so of course they actively discourage it and everyone, managers and customers, get mad when you don't know.

Someone should, on the other hand, be able to tell you the relevant product information about prefab building supplies, like strength ratings, comparisons with other similar products, etc. and it's your responsibility as a store owner/manager to either find someone who knows that poo poo, or train them. Management is getting off way too easy here.
