The "best" part is that the sale started today, 6 pieces of corn for 96 cents and then 33 cents each after those 6. Not even 4 hours into the ad and someone already filled an entire cart with the loving things and wanted to get it all at that price. The 4th is going to be garbage.

Let's get some corn on the cob! Let's see, there are four of us, and we'll probably just have one ear each, but maybe dad wants 2... let's get 10! EDIT: Also, that pricing scheme where's it's a buck for the first 6 and then 0.33 for the rest will trigger that pathological "savings" reaction. The more you buy, the more you save!

Customer tripped on something in the store and I was called to deal with the situation. The guy just told me 'yeah I tripped on this thing and it's a hazard, so what you gonna do for me? You're supposed to document this right?'. I got annoyed by his attitude and when he threatened to call the police I told him off instead of doing what I was supposed to do. So the guy's probably gonna sue our rear end off. I loving hate customer service. I already can't deal with bs with people I know, much less some strangers who are assholes. I just want like a month of complete isolation and stay home. My roommate has been living off of unemployment for almost a year and I feel kind of jealous of him. Essential workers here get nothing while being on the frontline dealing with all the bullshit and people get aid while staying home or gets to work at home.

Every customer-facing business I've ever been around that's big enough to have a Legal department has had an ironclad rule that the instant the upset customer says the word "police" or "lawyer" or anything remotely like that, you the store employee/manager immediately end the conversation and pass their info on to Legal.

To be clear the restriction was no more than 2 cartons of beer/cider/premixed spirits and 12 bottles of wine and 2 bottles of spirits per person per day. More than enough booze to Australian it up. The Lord Bude fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Jul 3, 2021 |

That's why I called out, so I can enjoy a three day weekend after not being scheduled for either the holiday or the Monday after. As much as it does gently caress over the few people left there that actually do their work and are pretty decent people, ain't no one looking out for me but me. Good luck for the rest of y'all that are actually working, though. Edit: lol thought I only had Sunday/Monday off, actually found that I had a three day weekend to begin with.

My boss is going on vacation all next week. When we did my employee review two days ago, I wished her a good vacation and for no calls to bother her. She laughed and said she'd have her phone off all week unless her boss called her. Somehow she did not see the irony of her texting me about a van I no longer used on my vacation. The only reason I replied was because if you don't when she texts you, she'll start calling. If it's an emergency, I get it. But asking "hey when was the last oil change?" is not!

I loving hate corn guys. If I ever got immorally wealthy I would hire crop dusters to do fly-bys over corn plantations and dust them with an herbicide. These loving people will turn their nose up at 33 cents per ear of corn and instead come back later to get another batch of 6 for 16 cents. I'm totally sure the money you assholes spend on gas is definitely made up for by the whopping 17 cents per ear you save doing this.

I know where I used to work, if such an offer was on, people would just walk through, buy the first six, then walk back around and pick up another six and repeat as needed. Some would even just hold the till up by insisting they're all put through on separate transactions to get the better offer. You get ready to want to stab people when someone comes to the till with multiple "£10 off £100 spend" vouchers then take ages to work out what the most efficient way is to put their £4000 worth of kitchen units through to maximise the number of vouchers they can use.

When there's a truck coming into frozen food, and when I'm unlucky enough to be running it, there's a procedure for breaking the poo poo down. You got your frozen food, you got your deli items, and you got your meat department items. All of these go to different places. The ideal thing to do is to put them all on different carts. Sometimes, grocery would be using all the carts. The work around for this would be me grabbing a cart from the meat department to put the meat department stuff on. At some point, someone decided that, no. Meat department needed every cart at all times, even if they weren't being used. Note: this is not the policy when I'm working the meat department. After having to work around stacks of meat department things in a cramped freezer, I finally said, "If I can't have a cart to downstack this truck, I'm putting it on the floor." "Yeah, whatever." Today, I did exactly what I said I'd do and stacked thirty boxes quite neatly on the floor. The manager that wasn't a party to the conversation re: yes, I will put it on the loving floor, asked me if I did indeed put it on the freezer floor. Yes. Yes I did. Why? I had no carts. I can't do that? OK. What did you want me to do with it? Eventually, having realized he was wasting his time and more importantly, mine, he left to be angry somewhere else. I do not take his lamentations about sanitation seriously ( given how the things are packages wrapped in boxes and kept at 20 degrees ), especially when I've seen the piss poor shortdate lists he does. I've picked month-old steaks out the case. Thing looked like a bear's rough-scalped rear end it was so brown and bloody.

The thing you gotta realize is it's easy to tell your cats to throw gloves on if you see a inspector roll up. It's very much harder to move a pallet of meat. I ain't saying your wrong though, Dept's that seem to think they're the only one that matters can suck my penis.

Gaius Marius posted:Don't you got some pallets you can throw it on I need you to understand something. When frozen food needs to be done, odds are good it's four eight foot tall pallets of assorted horse poo poo. Often enough, it's five. This is to be worked by one person. This is in a freezer that is half-filled with pallets of ice because it's summer. Half of your shelves ( or more ) will be inaccessible because the ice venders just drop the poo poo wherever, sometimes not even bothering to push it all the way to the rear of the freezer. When I used to do it every day, what I would do is grab a couple carts, break down the stuff by department/aisle, and go. These days, when I have to do it, grocery has every cart. I am lucky to have A cart. Other departments that could put their stuff onto shelves and so'n instead leave their stuff on carts in the fridges. Because of laziness. After a certain amount of 'please give me equipment to do my job properly', I will eventually go, no, gently caress it. Your problem.

"cost of fine vs. cost of time spent doing it right" is all it comes down to. I mean, when there's never time to clean displays, keep food at temp at all times, keep frozen food out for only five minutes when you have five pallets to work through and they're all six feet tall, food safety starts to fall off the priority list. The only thing I see people do one hundred percent right every time is keeping food from cross contaminating.

The only reason I'm still there is because I haven't had a better offer from another place, yet. It sucks rear end to do an application and get nothing back with almost a decade of retail, and most of it at the same place. Did I answer the personality test too well? Did my long last name bug the computer? Did the manager overlook me just because of dumb luck? Did I not have enough references? You don't know, you never know. It sucks. And you have to spend like forty minutes doing every single test.
