Shinku ABOOKEN posted:This is hosed up. Where I am it's either a company owned or a company leased vehicle. Can any euro goons tell us if this is also the case over there? I think it's a mix here in the UK, but the vast majority of food I get delivered is from people driving what look like their own cars. Like, there's child booster seats in the back, that sort of thing. There's occasionally someone in a car with the restaraunt logo on the side, but really not very often.

spite house posted:"Do what I say or this lady [meaning me] will call the police on you." Always hilarious to respond "Oh, don't worry, I won't do that" and watch the parent's enraged face. gently caress you, parent your own child instead of palming it off onto a retail worker.

pixaal posted:When I was still working at a store we had a kid yelling in a long line for a candy bar. It's the day before a holiday 20 minute long lines kid is screaming parent has 2 carts of food. You get the picture. They get to the front and the kid wants a few now and the mom is arguing finally says no candy. What makes this worse is that that kid has learned that making GBS threads themselves gets them what they want. Like, you KNOW this isn't the only time they've poo poo themselves for a Mars bar.

Kelp Me! posted:I bet if the cashier and a few strangers started pointing and laughing the story would be different, but as it is most of the ridicule was probably aimed at the mom for not being able to control her kid. Or maybe just not giving him the loving candy would help. I mean for gently caress's sake.

Kelp Me! posted:If you're at a point where your non-retarded child is intentionally making GBS threads his pants in a public setting to get what he wants, I think there's way deeper behavioral concerns to be addressed than "did he get the candy in the end" Oh yeah, I was mostly just meaning that as shorthand for actual parenting. I mean it's pretty basic - you don't reward the bad behaviour. Even if you want to avoid negative reinforcement by not punishing the bad behaviour, you don't give them candy to stop the screaming shitfit.

Kelp Me! posted:When I was still a peon before I hit manager there was a dude who would have all his shifts scheduled for exactly 5 hours, since that was the minimum before you could take a paid 30-minute break. The dude would come in for a 9-1 shift and try to duck out for lunch at 12, and would come back at like 12:45, dick around for 10 minutes and leave again. That was one of the more "height of laziness" acts I'd seen until then. How did no one tell this guy to go gently caress himself and schedule him for four hours instead?

Kelp Me! posted:If they made "guy who blatantly disregards corporate procedure like planograms and metrics" manager you can imagine how apathetic the guy I replaced must have been Yeah but retail stores are usually struggling for hours because corporate are pricks and keep cutting them. Someone that was burning an hour per shift would be a prime target.

canyoneer posted:More than once when I worked retail parents would threaten their children that if they didn't behave, that man (meaning me) is going to hit you. And that's when you say to the kids "Oh, don't worry, I don't mind WHAT you do!" and give the parents your best poo poo eating grin.

I never have, but it happened to a coworker. A guy jumped the counter and started wailing on him. Someone hit the silent alarm, the guy was pulled off him by other staff and ejected from the store. It was lovely.

I Brake For MILFs posted:It's called "Right to work." I live in a right to work state and they don't need any reason to fire you. It's your "right to work" anywhere so long term job security is weak at best. Most of the southern states are like this. (I'm in Florida.) I thought right to work just meant you didn't have to join a union, whereas at will is the "you can quit/be fired without notice and for any non protected reason" thing.

Glenn Quebec posted:Not thread making GBS threads for once but I twice a month I have my shoes shined professionally and have taps nailed into them. They'll even do further maintenance work if necessary. I highly recommend doing this if you want to maintain a certain appearance and feel good about yourself. This makes me hope you are a vaudeville performer. Either that or taps means something else I'm not familiar with.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Holy poo poo I actually saw someone pull the "Well you just lost a customer!' maneuver in real life for the first time today and it was in The Reject Shop of all places (a large chain of lovely cheap discount stores here in Australia). Some guy was in the toy aisle pawing through all the lovely cheap Matchbox cars and apparently he didn't see the exact one he wanted on the shelf so he reached up and pulled down a box stored on top of the shelf and started unpacking it. A store clerk told him to cut that out and he yelled "Well you just lost a customer!" and then immediately went back to looking through the toy cars that were out on the shelf. I had someone pull that on me once. Guy came in wanting some formula 1 game, I forget which, said he'd seen it at the shop across the street for £x and we had it for £x+5 and could we price match. I called the store to confirm their price and they said they hadn't got any in stock, which meant we wouldn't price match. He insisted they had it and it was quiet so I went over there and hunted through all their pc games and couldn't find the thing. I asked someone behind the counter who turned out to be the person I spoke to on the phone and they told me again that they didn't have any. I went back and told the guy and he left in a huff. Twenty minutes later he comes back, waves a copy of the game at me and declares "you just lost a customer!". I can only assume he'd found the copy in the other store, hidden it so no one stole his bargain and then came over to our store to price match and get his loyalty points.
