silversiren posted:I shorted my cash drawer today on my register because some lady thought that giving me 12 cents along with her 10 bucks would make her change from the $5.88 total be $6. She handed me the 12 cents after I had already opened my drawer and typed in the $10, so it showed me the change she'd be getting back. I'm not good at even simple math when I'm under pressure, so I told her to wait a second while I wrote it out and did the math just to make sure the change was going to be right. But instead she kept screaming at me, "IT'S SIX DOLLARS I'M POSITIVE IT'S SIX DOLLARS SIX DOLLARS IT'S SIX DOLLARS SIX DOLLARS PLEASE YOU OWE ME SIX DOLLARS!!!!" so I practically threw six dollars at her just to get her to shut the gently caress up. So I ended up being $2.12 short, which shouldn't matter really, but I was fired from my last job because no one taught me how to count the till correctly so I was chronically short, so now I'm paranoid about being fired for being even a few cents short. You don't really have do do maths, you just need to count up to whatever the person gave you. So your example: 5.88 up to 10 : 5.88 + 2*1c = 5.90 5.90 + 1*10c = 6$ 6$ + 4*1$ = 10$ ( works out to 5.88 + 4.12 = 10 ) Now if we add the 12c into the equation, it's like the above, BUT you have to give the 12 cents she gave you right back to her.... Then you can immediately tell that the 12 cents is bullshit... People make that mistake SO MANY TIMES it's not funny. Trick is to keep your cool, ignore the person and take your time figuring it out. I know that's hard, but you'll learn it eventually. The only time the 12 cents would be useful if it could be used to round down to the nearest useful increment. If it were for instance 5.12, then yes, 12cents is useful because if someone pays with 10$ and 12 cents you can count up like so: 5.12 to 10.12 = 5$ BAM your done. Or even 5.62 to 10.12 = 4.50 etc.... spankmeister fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Apr 14, 2011 |

One of the things that I absolutely could not fathom at AMC was your "cancellation percentage". Basically, how many times you deleted items off the list of things a customer is getting. Too high is a bad thing apparently, as it's some sort of anti-theft device against the employees, and I got written up at least once or twice about it. What did they tell me to avoid doing it? "Listen to their whole order, and THEN put it in". Yeah, try to remember all that poo poo, then navigate through the convoluted series of menus while keeping an impatient customer waiting, all because you assholes don't trust us enough to implement this likely-useless loving system. That's like having an IM service that automatically blocked you if you had to backspace too many times, and people change their minds about stuff constantly. What the gently caress are all those cameras (there are at least one for each station) for? What could we possibly do by cancelling out items that haven't even been processed yet in order to rob you guys? Who designs this poo poo? Maggot Monster posted:I am watching this extreme coupon program and they proudly announce that the ladies transaction took "an hour" to ring up as 18 separate transactions. How the cashier didn't smash her face in I don't know. It was a pretty feel-good show that really downplayed the poo poo retail/food-service workers go through, but I really miss Undercover Boss. Why couldn't there be more shows like that to at least give some people a better impression of us? From what I've heard about that coupon show, it might as well be called "How To Harass The Lower-Class Scum!".

My register was down $13.10 tonight. Although it was partly shared throughout the night, I'll mostly cop the blame since I was the one who signed in/mainly used it. At our store, <$10 descrepency is OK, >$10 and you have to notify the CSM, >$20 and she has to notify the BM (Business Manager). Which isn't good. Oh well. I'm sure everything will work out fine!

At my gas station, you can have about a 25 SEK (~$3) difference and the system won't make a fuss, any more than that in either direction and you have to recount. I usually come out with no diff, a few kronor this or that way or like 100 flat difference (which is just a mistake and a quick recount fixes it). When I had just started working there and counted my first till when closing solo I had like 1800 difference, which freaked me out and left me sleepless that night because I wondered if they'd just let it slide. Manager took it in good faith, counted it himself the next day and showed me what I'd done wrong. Which is probably why I still work there, good managers/owners make a world of difference even in a poo poo-rear end job like that.

I can't stand people who pay with cash, and I don't even work retail. Using a card is quicker and easier for both parties. I hate the store cards too, not because it takes three seconds to say "No thank you". The thing that kills me is when the person actually says YES in front of me and then the five minute process begins of actually approving and registering them for the card.

alreadybeen posted:I can't stand people who pay with cash, and I don't even work retail. Using a card is quicker and easier for both parties. Unless the cashier is REALLY bad at either working the register or basic maths, cash is always much quicker. Pretty much everywhere has chip and PIN now, so you stick your card in their machine, wait a bit, enter your PIN, wait a bit more, wait for your receipts to print out, they give you back your card and receipt. Compare that to handing over some cash, cashier pops the number in, drawer opens, you get change, you're out the door. Not sure what amazing card system you might have but (in the UK at least) there's no way it's quicker than using cash. As for "easier for both parties", only the cashier I suppose, since they won't have to work out your change, but how many tills don't display that for them these days?

I feel like that show is part of some vertical monopoly of some sort, because those couponing folks are going to end up on some "hoarders" show in a few years. Either that, or found mummified under fallen shelves of canned goods. I mean seriously, who the gently caress needs 77 bottles of mustard or 40 boxes of laundry detergent, and why are we encouraging this sort of behavior? That, and the gal who complained that "she would lose the lifestyle she was accustomed to when her husband lost her job if she didn't do this". It's one thing if the person is running a daycare or group home of some kind, but this poo poo is just disgusting. That, and the clueless shits wondering why the coupon policies kept changing and becoming more limited. All from one loving episode! I'm not a religious person, but there's a reason why so many consider greed and gluttony to be immoral behavior. And christ did I feel bad for the checkers.

The funny thing is that by simply donating that excess of food to a good cause, it would justify all the poo poo everyone goes through in the process. Wouldn't you also be able to claim a tax write-off, saving way more money that way, too? I admit I have a bit of an addiction to buying games or movies on sale, but those are things that last conceptually-forever, and I'm not doing it to the adversity of the seller's underpaid middleman. These women blatantly have shopping addictions, but express it in the absolute worst way possible. e: Apparently, on one episode, they claimed to send "care packages" to the relief of Japanese earthquake victims, but weren't any more specific than that. I doubt a box of condiments is gonna be much help over there. miscellaneous14 fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Apr 15, 2011 |

Wouldn't you also be able to claim a tax write-off, saving way more money that way, too? Note: I'm not a tax professional of any kind, however the Internal Revenue Service has a whole lot of good information on simpler tax questions. Seriously, a lot of this stuff is pretty approachable. So when claiming charitable contributions on your taxes, there is a guide to determining the Fair Market Value* of donated items, which is what they base the deduction value on. In particular: quote:The cost or selling price is a good indication of the property’s value if: Since the coupons and other deals are open to anyone, that would be considered the "Fair Market Value" of the items. If the hoarder tried to value them at full price later when the coupons/deals had expired, the market would have "changed", and thus such a valuation wouldn't be representative of fair market value. But if we're talking about someone that only has $100 to donate every month and they pull the coupon stuff to do so, then more power to them. *Fun fact! If you donate 1-3 pieces of art legitimately appraised at over $50,000 each, you need to pay the IRS $2,500. I presume this is so they can hire their own expert, fly them to your location and perform an appraisal themselves. Solkanar512 fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Apr 15, 2011 |

I got a call earlier today scheduling a phone interview for my ~dream job~, and based on what I've been told, it's pretty much a sure-thing. This weekend (and likely the next depending on if I can't schedule it off) is going to be hell in trying not to flip out against the handful of people who I can't stand, or accidentally let slip about this job-prospect. I'm trying not to leave a bad impression with the good managers, because once I'm out of this place, I'm gonna leave a detailed-letter basically-reading "Hey, these guys are incompetent and promote a hostile work environment, I think you can trust me on this". It'll be the greatest thing if it actually accomplishes something (i.e. they demote the one guy down from a shift supervisor).

This usually happens when someone has EBT or suddenly at the last minute, as the item has already been bagged, decides they don't want it anymore. This person is already impatient and managers aren't always readily available, thus making them wait even longer. It's also a pain in the rear end when you ring something up and the scanner, which doesn't work half of the time, decides to catch the barcode on something you're not even holding close to it and it rings it up twice, making the customer think you're trying to overcharge them because OBVIOUSLY everyone is out to get them and the gov't and tea party and blah blah blah blah.

Well I found out yesterday we had our Ipad 2 display stolen less than 12 hours after having it put out. The funny thing is is that I was told it was just a nonfunctional piece of plastic. So when someone called up earlier that day asking if we had an Ipad 2 demo unit out yet, I told them "Yes but it's only a demo unit and doesn't actually function. It's just a piece of plastic but you can still get a good feel of the dimensions from it." I guess they knew more than I did because in reality I found out after the theft that it was in fact a retail unit, just not powered. If I had known it was an actual unit, I would have reacted differently. Well later that day after my shift, the store down the street had their demo unit stolen and as they were calling the employee that had replaced me to tell him, the criminal walked out of our store with ours. I'm a bit pissed that I was lied to, but I'm more stupefied as to why management thought the same case that had been easily ripped open and had the Ipad 1 display stolen out of it would somehow deter probably the same guy from taking the new display. The wood construction of the bottom half is so lovely that any normal person can rip the acrylic top half and screws through the side of it without making any amount of noise. You would think that for a $400 device they could invest more than $10 worth of balsa wood to secure it. It's okay though. I've got security covered.  (I'm aware of the punctuation error)

Sorry, if you want your special Ben 10 cake with strawberries inside and chocolate icing maybe you should have planned a bit in advance!

To lie or tell a Tell. My friend is a delivery driver and got into an accident a few weeks back. It was her fault (she rear-ended someone) but the cop did not cite her, mostly because it would affect her job. She told her assistant manager about the incident, filed the claim with their insurance guys, told the rental van people the true story (fun fact: her original van was hit by someone a day previous. She got the rental van the next day.), but her manager, the head honcho, the guy who decides if she keeps delivering or gets fired, is out of town. So far most everyone in the place knows she got into an accident. Only a few know the details. Details the assistant manager has supplied, that she and the other car were in other lanes, were in each other's blind spots, and collided. The assistant manager will see the head manager first when he gets back and has told her not to worry about this, he'll tell the head boss that it was an honest mistake, blind spots and all. This will, in theory, save her job. She and the assistant manager have never had issue with each other and he knows the head manager well. On the other hand, she's petrified and keeps telling me she doesn't want to get fired for lying. The police did not take an official report as neither driver was cited, and it's highly unlikely anyone will check with the rental company's insurance to verify stories. That said, I've advised her just to be honest and lose what her assistant manager says is a sympathy ploy. On one hand, friend tells a lie that may or may not become verified, and keeps her job. Confesses she was technically at fault and likely loses her job. Is there any reason she should NOT do the latter? Damnit, between this friend and the one who works 40 hours a week for free at her friend's video store, I need some new friends...

This I know, after working retail for loving years. I'm more worried if the head boss finds out somehow about the coverup, so to speak. On one hand, my friend was extremely distraught after the accident (to the point the assistant manager told her to take a day or two off to calm down) and it's 'totally possible' she said something wrong or that wasn't entirely truthful. I told her the only real issue, aside from lying, is that on the weird off chance her boss talks to the rental car guys, he might get another story. The punishment then might be worse.

I have a friend who's a klepto, and I can convince her not to steal from, say, a small business, but to her, anything part of a big corporation is fair game. Plenty of it probably goes unnoticed, but she still loves her electronics and Best Buy displays.

Well nothing overt like being written up. But managers definitely look at us as having failed and with that could mean that they're going to be changing up shifts so that people who haven't let them down get better hours or any number of other passive aggressive thing. Or it could mean our yearly reviews, which we're in the middle of, could be negatively affected.

I want to talk to her counselor directly sometime (don't know if that's an option) because as far as I know, she's only going to stop when she gets caught. And not because "Maybe I don't deserve everything I can grab" but "I'm not careful enough to grab everything." Until then, just try to remind her that she's still hurting people and not Sam Walton. Anyway, sorry to put my e/n here. We went to Wal*Mart on a late-night emergency paint run today, and everyone was really helpful even though I think the paint counter had closed.

Pornographic Memory posted:I get this sort of thing all year long, except with people wanting specially done birthday cakes...on the day they need it. Obviously we have cakes on hand but they're generically decorated and don't have anything inside but cake batter. Sorry, if you want your special Ben 10 cake with strawberries inside and chocolate icing maybe you should have planned a bit in advance! Nobody ruined your precious baby's birthday but you and your inability to spend 10 minutes on the phone even one day before you wanted this cake. We get this ALL the time, usually at 3pm (we close at 4, bonus points if it's a Friday). Seriously, parents, it's not like your kids birthday changes every year.

Patient confidentiality is a massive legal issue anyway but practically speaking, if your client doesn't trust you then how can you expect anything to come from the therapy? I tried to contact my mom's counselor once. Wow, did that ever backfire.

Hooray! I finally found a job. It's at a regional supermarket chain (Redner's Markets) for third shift stocking. I've never done third shift before so that's kind of exciting. I hope the third shift people are nicer than they were at walmart. They all seemed cliquey and grouchy. Anyway, I can't imagine with how regional (eastern Pa and DE) it is that many people here have been in one, let alone worked there but if anyone has I'd love to hear about what to expect. I admit i didn't lookl much into it since it was hard enough getting through interviews when you couldn't get a good excuse for why you quit your last one.

Its extremely cliquey and everyones very grouchy because you have to fix all the poo poo first and second hosed up. If anything goes wrong, at anytime during the day, its third shifts fault. One of my old managers told me, "poo poo rolls downhill and graveyard sits at the bottom. Its our job to stop the ever mounting pile of poo poo. By six am." First shift hates grave, grave hates first and second, second kind of just shows up like the ADD middle child.* I worked third at Walmart for a short stint, if your job has a reputation, find you a nice morning bar that caters to grave workers. God bless the 7AM bartender and his strong drinks. *all mass generalizations, theres lovely people on every shift, but these are the common themes I dealt with. e. Oh yeah, and never make the mistake of saying you wanted to work grave because it was "easy" and grave gets to "stand around all night" because you will find yourself under a never ending mountain of bitch work. ladyweapon fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Apr 16, 2011 |
