The Robins Taley posted:I work at a nicer grocery store chain in a very affluent area. After work the other night I had to run to wal-mart to pick something up. The look in the dead, soul-less eyes of that cashier will haunt me forever. I feel bad for ever complaining about my job. It could be so much worse. The wal-mart I work at isn't so bad. Yes I get the occasional whack job but most people are cool. best of all people don't have to fill the check out, because the reader will do it for them and we usually just give it back. NOw only if I could get more than 25 hours a week I could actually get bills paid.

Had a lady yesterday upset that I was counting her cans of cat food. Turns out they were 32 can of the same flavor. Apparently there is only one way to count something. Of course if she had just shut up and let me do my thing she would of been out of there in half the time. God people disgust me.

Nocheez posted:I speak as a consumer that this is the most annoying thing ever. Some checkers forget to turn their lights on, sometimes a light is burned out, etc. We have no clue what to think when a person is manning a register but the light is off. He's talking about people seeing the light off and getting in the line anyway. Then when called out on it they feign ignorance about seeing the light off. I hate these mother fuckers with a passion.

No kidding. I get $7.70 an hour $8.70 an hour on Sundays. Plus now it's the "holiday season" I can't ask for a day off. I only have open availability. I can work 24/7 and I get 24 hours a week. It's sad.

BeardedFerret posted:Be prepared for disappointment when your coworkers gently caress up your hard work within a week. More like customers will mess it up 3 seconds after you finish. People will put poo poo wherever they want. Unless you go back and orginize it every 15 mnutes it'll get messy beyond madness.

Strangelv posted:I have an interview with the Home Depot in a few hours for cashier or cart attendant. Any tips? Be a cashier if you can. Being a cart attendant sucks. people are lazy and always need loading. If you don't finish putting the carts up by the time your shift ends, even if it was super duper busy and the mid shift guy didn't come in, you get in trouble for "wanting" to leave when your shift is scheduled to leave. As far as advice goes, wear nice pants and a button up/ polo shirt. Pretend to be the super anything for the customer person.

Lolitas Alright! posted:For the upcoming Frappucino season, we're re-releasing our coconut syrup (that we stopped using years ago) and getting in our reusable, double-walled plastic iced drink cups that we usually only sell at Christmas. Whenever we get in a shipment of seasonal syrups/toppings for drinks, we're permitted to sign out one bottle and one container of each syrup and topping, respectively, for our use only.

cobalt impurity posted:Last week I got bitched out for showing up at my scheduled time instead of the time I was supposed to be there. Apparently in the five days prior, two of which I worked, no one had the time to tell me I was supposed to come in two and a half hours earlier than scheduled, and it's my fault for not assuming the schedule was incorrect and calling to confirm it! Had a manger change my schedule, which I wouldn't Have too much of a problem with, but they didn't let me know. I told her that was like me coming in late just because I wanted to. Didn't happen again amazingly enough.

AASman posted:How are your stores on giving breaks? We haven't been getting our second payed fifteen minute break(we have to wait for our managers to call it on the overhead) and they give us a hard time and roll their eyes if we ask for it. In Virginia its law that we have to get an unpaid 30minute meal break every six hours but it doesn't say anything about paid ones. Thing is, everyone I work with is indifferent and don't bother asking for it because they don't feel like arguing with the managers. The other day we worked 2:00am to 11:45am we got our first 15 minute break at 6:00am and lunch at 7:30am and no other breaks. I think the policy is a second 15 two hours after our lunch. Do you have an employee handbook? What does it say in there about breaks? If it mentions a second break, I'd bring it up to your managers why they don't follow it.

MC Hawking posted:For those keeping track, this is the SECOND time I've been offered a consultancy gig by a vendor because they have no idea how the gently caress to implement their own systems. DO NOT DO WORK YOU WILL NOT GET PAID FOR. Tell whoever is asking you to work unpaid, "gently caress you pay me." EDIT: If they insist get it in writing they want you to work and not get paid. Thank take him to court.

Eric the Mauve posted:It's been a lifelong struggle for me to accept the obvious truth that once you're in a car, it's the law of the jungle. Trying to be considerate of other drivers only ever gets you taken advantage of ruthlessly by the assholes, and the assholes win. Sorry but that's where you are supposed to zipper merge. That way traffic keeps flowing and the entire road gets used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX0I8OdK7Tk
