Americans: It's not reasonable to expect people to miss spending holidays with their families, even for a greater social good! Family comes first, always!
Retail workers, who have a time-off request blackout for all of November and December:

The shitty thing about Labor Day is
It’s just like any other work day except more people that aren’t you have the day off and therefore you have the potential of having way more customers. And if that isn’t enough, some places have big sales to make the day even more hell on earth. Meanwhile, you’re pretty sure all the corporate big wigs of your company have the day off because why wouldn’t they? Oh, not to mention you’ve been having to listen to customers mention the “three day weekend” and “the holiday” and “will you guys still be open?” since Friday.
It's that time of year again
Hey so maybe don't go into a retail store to run an errand right before you have an appointment or obligation elsewhere. There is no guarantee it will be a quick in and out thing and you don't need to be giving the employees your attitude because you are now running late. It's not their fault you are now running late, they are just trying to do their job and can't give you a VIP speed round and ignore other customers and duties for you.
retail…
can people PLEASE learn some fucking drive-thru etiquette?????
-Do not fucking have the passenger order, only the driver should be talking to the box. I can only hear certain things!! -Do not eat, smoke, put on makeup, or talk on the phone while at the box or the window!! It can fucking wait! also, we can definitely fucking tell when you’ve been hotboxing your car and it fucking smells! for all you know, your server could have a weed allergy and you are submitting an nonconsenting person to breathe in all your nasty secondhand weed smoke -if you need a sec to figure out what you want, fine, but do not fucking make me ask “anything else for you today?” like 7 times because you won’t spit out everything you want. -Don’t fucking bark your order at me, or drive up the the window with your card in your hand, or i will make you wait in order to hopefully make you realize how fucking stupid you look. -if you are rude to me, i will take my sweet time with your order. the nicer you are (especially with a large order), the better service you will get.
Be a decent human being! holy shit!!!
Why do companies even have policies if they are just going to completely throw them out the window to please an upset customer?
Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.
At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.
It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.
Important
Fuck.
If you scrolled right past this - GO THE FUCK BACK UP - this is a huge PSA
jfc I’ll be having some words with some folks
Accurate post is accurate.
Reminds me of the time a lady told me whip doesn’t melt. Or a guy yelled at me for not understanding him/hearing him because he kept talking on the phone
For those in retail.
I worked in a Lil Caesars and a woman came in and wanted a sausage pizza with no sausage, but got mad when she was given a cheese pizza.
So when I worked at fitting room in Old Navy, a woman told me that a medium top was too small, and that the large top was too large. So she asked me to find her an “x-medium”. Old Navy carries x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, 1x, 2x and 3x. There is no “x-medium”. But she insisted, so I went and found her an “x-medium” (which was just a medium in a different color but the same top, same make, same EVERYTHING) and she goes very happily, “THIS! THIS FITS ME PERFECTLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH! See, you can do anything you can set your mind to!”
I’m a waitress at a big fancy resort, and once a woman asked me for a diet water and when I told her there was no such thing she demanded to see my manager (who then also promptly told her there was no such thing and brought her regular water). Another occasion of stupidity occurred when a woman had been brought a steak cooked too much for her liking. I offered to take it back and bring her out a new one, cooked a little less, and she said “NO this one’s fine I just want you to cook THIS one a little less.” I then had to get the chef and have him explain why you can’t UNCOOK a steak.
When I was working at dunkin donuts there was this woman in the drive-thru who asked for a lightly toasted croissant and then started complaining that the croissant was warm. And wanted her money back, so she gave me the croissant back and I gave her the money and then she tells me “now i want my new croissant” she wanted a new one for free and as she was screaming at me this guy in a biker gang covered in tattoos leans over the counter in the store and yells “ma’am let me just tell you what we’re all thinking. fuck off, you stupid cunt.” I couldn’t stop laughing and she drove away in anger.
Most of the people like in the stories above know that they’re being totally irrational, but also know that if they complain enough they’ll most likely get something free or discounted. So really most of the the nonsensical fucks are actually just cheap fucks with no shame or respect for people.
That last bit of commentary though.
You’d think that but I had once had to explain to a woman that I couldn’t “cut her hair longer.” Some people are actually just stupid.
a lady mobile ordered an extra hot cuppaccino today and didnt come to pick it up until an hour after she ordered it. She was furious that the foam had deflated and it wasnt the temperature she wanted and threw a tantrum over it even though we said we could remake it. 100% wanted a refund but thankfully my shift wasnt having it tand basically told her to take the new drink and get out. people have absolutely no respect for retail employees
I am legit sick of seeing the ass kissing involved in customer service. My store manager is so over getting complaints that go over him to the higher ups that I have witnessed him literally have to GIVE a customer a FREE CAR BATTERY ($129- $159) because they didn't understand why their warranty was expired and wouldn't shut up and just kept going in circles forever with it until he is just done with them and wants to move on, shut them up, and make them happy.
I always find it to be absolutely incredible when a company would rather run on a skeleton crew/barely a skeleton crew just so they can continue making millions rather than actually utilizing a sufficient amount of staff for optimum customer service. Like, think about it: you put barely enough employees in a store and you have a massive rush that can last for a couple of hours in the evening time. (Or whatever time. My rush tends to happen around 5 or 6pm). This not only stresses the employees out which negatively affects their performance but also annoys customers by having slow service and causes them to walk out. On the other hand, if the company wasn't so busy being soulless and money hungry they could put just a couple more employees in there to take care of the overwhelming amount of customers in a timely less stressful manner. What happens if the rush ends and now you have all these extra people?? Well, there's more to running a store than just helping customers. There's tons of stuff that could be done in the down time. And if they can't find something else to do, there's the option of sending someone home. But at least you'll have people there when you need it. But I don't know. I guess that just makes too much sense??
It’s an extremely popular opinion among middle and upper class white people.
Also, aside from this completely uneducated reasoning as to why minimum wage was created…
I can guarantee that there are tens of thousands of teenagers who have to pay bills and help support their families or are the only financial supporter to their family.
not to mention, if minimum wage was meant solely for high school students how would the business survive when students are in school?? are they only supposed to be open on the weekend? this “unpopular opinion” makes no sense.
Unpopular fact: in the 70s a minimum wage worker could pay for college with a summer job.
Unpopular fact: minimum wage was conceived to be the minimum amount of money a person would need to support themselves and their families when working 40 hours per week.
Unpopular fact: minimum wage was created because working men and women in this nation fought–figuratively in the negotiating room and literally in the streets–for a fair working wage, with sweat and blood and tears and death.
Unpopular fact: military service personnel are not the only people who have fought and died for your rights as American: labor leaders and common workers laid down their lives so that you could have a 40 hour work week instead of 80 hours; so you could have a 2 day weekend instead of none; so you could have lunch and bathroom breaks instead of going hungry and shitting your pants,; so you could have a three day weekend in September.
Capitalism would NEVER dole out basic human decency without literal human sacrifice.
All food service workers should 100% be entitled to free ass meals on the job. Not discounted, not half off. Free.
The customers who tell us it’s a shame that we have to work on Thanksgiving are literally the reason we have to work on Thanksgiving.
friendly retail reminders
or not so friendly since some of y’all don’t know how to fucking act.
•when a retail worker greets you and asks you for help, you can politely decline. there’s no need for the nasty attitude, that’s literally their job.
•check your coupon dates and what they can be used for. your cashier isn’t responsible if your coupon expired or if you chose not to read what it’s actually going to cover.
•speaking of fucking coupons, yes you have to actually show the cashier your coupon.
•don’t haggle. it’s not a yard sale.
•something discontinued or out of stock? has nothing to do with the people that work there. don’t yell at them.
•if you’re looking for a particular item, take a picture of it or write it down. getting frustrated with an employee because you walked in looking for something but gave the most vague details is unfair. companies repackage things constantly and come out with hundreds of products each year.
•yes retail workers do get paid to pick up after a store. but should you leave your coffee cups and gum wrappers around? no, who fucking raised you?
•please watch your children. it’s your job to watch your child, not a retail worker’s.
•not all stock rooms are full of products. most of the time everything is out on the floor.
•don’t hit on retail workers you fucking creep. especially when you know they can’t voice their discomfort. they don’t want you. them being pleasant is part of their job description
a lot of these are common sense and just behaving like a kind and considerate human being. don’t be a dick
may I add: if you decide don’t want something while you’re in line, don’t just LEAVE IT WHEREVER. bring it to the cashier, say, “sorry, I decided I don’t want this,” and they’ll make sure it gets put back out on the floor where it belongs
honestly tho. when the store closes it’s not fun to play hide and seek with the products
Adding: don’t playfight at the register over who is gonna pay for what. You’re (most likely) grown, act like it. It slows the line down, and the cashiers aren’t here for y’all flirting by way of shoving each other out of the way to pay for your stuff. Get your crap and get out.
ALSO ON THAT LAST NOTE: It’s super awkward for the cashier to have to “choose” who to take the money from if you both try and pay…
Now that the holiday season is here some cashiers are having to ask each customer if they would like to donate to a certain charity. Just know that while the cashier may personally like the charity, they don't really need to know if you've already donated/ why you don't want to donate/ how you plan on donating in the future. They can't proceed with the check out process until they've asked and you've answered. They really don't care if you decline. They just want to finish your transaction and move on to the next.
I think we can all agree that hearing a customer say "I just made that one" or "It's fresh off the press" when handing over a $50 or $100 is on the same level of annoying as "It must be free" when an item doesn't scan.
