Today at work some teenagers where looking at something and they dropped it, by instinct I looked their way and one of them screamed “What are you looking at? Cant we not shop?” I was confused why they where so rude so I looked at my manager and she looked at them too, and then one of them looked at me and screamed “You are so ugly, b***” and they left the store laughing. My manager said perhaps I gave them a hard look, still, I don’t know who raised these kids. If they only knew the impact of their words. I have depression and anxiety and now after that I can’t stop thinking about ending eve ..read more

I (28F) had an interview with a regional grocery store chain for a part time cashier. It was me, three other potential employees, and two customer service managers. One of them (woman) was explaining the break policy (30 minute lunch when you work at least 5 hours, no scheduled breaks for 4 hour or less shift). She said to let someone know if you have to go to the bathroom, and it’s okay to go unless it’s excessive, like 5 times during a 4 hour shift. And she said that she’s just trained her bladder to not have to use the bathroom during an 8-10 hour shift. I thought to myself “wow… that’s he ..read more

I'll probably tell you the first story sometime. But right now I'm set to tell this, more recent, one. TL;DR: She wants $3 off $10, but she's spending six with tax. This is a convenience store where you can buy certain things or spend certain amounts and get points, which are basically dollars you can only spend in stores. Frequent coupon users will eventually get deep discount coupons on store brands. I'm on the overnight shift. I don't recognize her, but she obviously has store experience. She spent an hour shopping with the app and coupons in hand. She spends about ten minutes comparing ey ..read more

Got a new one yesterday. I was working the self checkout section. Whenever someone needs assistance, there’s a button they press on the screen and a distinct sound occurs that we all hear (I can hear it just fine). Apparently a man was calling me verbally to get my attention and I didn’t hear him. I don’t remember what I was doing at the time but I was either with another customer or simply didn’t hear him. Then suddenly I hear a loud clapping sound, I turn around and he’s literally clapping right in my face and saying he was calling me and I didn’t answer. I told him I have bad hearing and t ..read more

I’ve recently picked up a part-time job as a cashier and it entails me standing for 5 hours, aside from my 15 minute break. It’s not that long and I should be fine, but no. I have flat feet and my feet and lower back hurt quite a bit towards the end of my shifts. I believe my flat feet are the root cause of the pain. What are some possible solutions for this? submitted by /u/-HocusPocusLotus [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Customer comes up to my register with 1 insulation roll Customer - I need 30 rolls of these (with attitude) Me- by any chance have you spoken to anyone about getting those? I'm asking that because I dont know if he already informed someone about those and if an associate was working on it. I didn't want to just charge him and have him waiting outside. I'm asking a question to verify. Customer- I'm talking to you! ? (points at me) What he could've said was "I haven't yet but if you can get someone to help me with those I would appreciate it, thank you" We've had people come up and tell us they ..read more

I am a modern day renaissance man and I want to work multiple careers at different times and months of the year. I seek to work 5 to 6 months part time as a seasonal sales or store manager at the same time every year while working part time at a whole other profession. How easy is it to chase and pursue this endeavor? submitted by /u/Cthepeace22 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My curtesy clerk, clearly a teenage girl, was packing a ladies groceries. She asked her to make the bags super light so she put three things in the bag. Apparently that was too many the lady told her to take the BREAD out. Curtesy Clerk made a confused face and the lady just PULLS HER SHIRT UP and shows her stomach saying she has a hernia. This was my fourth shift at an otherwise really nice grocery store. submitted by /u/SnooSquirrels4307 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
