Peetown Manning posted:Does anybody here work retail in one of those fine American chains where you can buy clothing, children's items and hardware at one place? Why yes, I used to work at SEARS. Last week was my last week working at a retail job. I'm finally out and free. I genuinely feel like I escaped an abusive relationship.

I.C. posted:What department...oh, lemme guess...appliances, but not unloading? Sears was years ago. I worked there a few times. First time was as a regular cashier wherever they needed me. Then some years later I was seasonal in the electronics. They let me go just as I was getting the hang of selling TVs. Then the next year's holiday I worked as a cashier again. It was the day before Christmas Eve and I wasnt on the next week's schedule, so I just walked out on my lunch break. Didn't even bother clocking out. I despised selling the Sears card so so much.

Kelp Me! posted:The biggest downside to having very well-organized stock was trying to explain to people that no, we don't have more in the back, because I'm vaguely competent at my job and make sure that empty shelves get filled whenever possible. I hated that. Last year, last job implented a system to ship product from store directly to customers homes to fulfil online orders. But the computers wouldn't update the inventory until they polled that night. So during the Christmas season, I got a whole lot of people coming in for items they looked up online or were sent from another store without calling is first to check to see if the item was actually in stock or not.

Starman Super DX posted:It's still hilarious to me that my 60 some year old IT teacher two or three years ago argued and insisted that "smart cars will be in every major city by 2025" or something insane like that. I'm all for it, but realistically, it will take much, much, MUCH longer for America to roll out anything even resembling that. I mean jesus around here when they start working on a bridge it has to go out of service entirely for three years minimum In a similar vein, I remember reading an article during my senior year high school ecomonics class saying that we'd be a cashless society in fourteen years. I don't see that happening in four more years.

My state's driver's licences take fifty years to expire. And regular state IDs never expire. It's awesome. Though I hear if you go out of state, cops think our IDs are fake.

Wawa sounds like some mystical Oz-like place whenever I hear of anyone talk about them. I like QT a lot, but I've heard the Wawa legends...

I do wish they'd bring back New Coke in some form so I can try it. Call it Coke Jr or something.

I love how much alcohol freedom I have with in my state. The alcohol process is "do I want x?" If yes, go to any store and get x, in any form, at any day, at any time.

Kelp Me! posted:I think maybe you can't sell alcohol before 11AM and after lik 6PM on Sundays here? Maybe? I was at Sprouts last Sunday, killing a few minutes before the Office Max next door opened at 10am. I nearly bought a beer just cause I could.

Oh weird. Their corporate headquarters is in my state, so all my local Cold Stones seemed to have gone unaffected by any closures. Not that it's a place I regularly go to.

Barudak posted:A coworker of mine once went to get a partime job at Abercrombie/American Eagle/One of those and on the first day, after being hired, she was told she needed to spend like 300 dollars or more on clothes from the store for her "work uniform". She quit right there on the spot. About a year later she gets ~$1000 check in the mail due to a class action settlement with the company about that and since she was, legally, employed by them it was hers to keep. What a garbage company. I heard they would burn outdated stock instead of donating it because they didn't want homeless people wearing their brand.

Thin Privilege posted:I looked into complaining to the labor department regarding my one jobs illegal wage stuff but apparently you have to attach your name to the complaint, which is then shown to the employer, and this is an "at-will" job so they'll just fire you. No point in complaining cause I need the job Couldn't you just fill in "Anonymous" in the name field?

The only time I had to verbally yell at someone in my store was a mom who brought in a five year old and quickly walked to the back corner to change his shorts because he poo poo himself. The public restroom wasn't even that far away.

I rarely ever asked custumers to do surveys. I'm not a teacher, I have no business giving anyone homework.
