Capitalism at its best.  Some role models we should all consider.  I am a fan of Hagen Daz, but after reading this, I need to get me some Cherry Garcia!

They’ve also gone in front of congress to testify that every shitty business’s claims that minimum wage hikes are bad are complete bullshit

Customer: it says online you sell it here, so you have to have it. Me: yes because every retail store is exactly the same

My boss of 4 years is leaving to another store, and honestly is making me more depressed for the holidays. The conspiracy is some crooked manager is sniffing around for this store so they are putting some young punk who works at a smaller volume store so the job will be too much for him and the no-gooder will get his store. People in power are dangerous, never trust your boss's boss.

Last year, a woman in a very long line was complaining about some man cutting in front of her. First of all, there was a Thanksgiving parade going on the mainstreet we’re located on, and our store is seeing business we were highly unprepared for, but we managed. She was one of 20 customers we were trying to checkout, and the first thing she says to me is how I need to organize my store better, and then asked what I was going to do about that man cutting.

“Sorry, there’s not much I can do. I’m trying to help everyone, we’re extremely busy,” I reply growing nervous, she’s rolling her eyes and throwing her candy on the counter, all the while her 5 year old watching her mommy begin throwing a tantrum.

“So, you’re not going to do anything, great customer service,” she huffs and puffs. I stay quiet, unnerved by her behavior and not wanting to fuel anything. I check her out and say nothing to her because I’d only say something unbecoming at this point, she’s been nothing but rude. I give her her receipt with no words, just a glance to her skiddish daughter who is looking between me and mommy like I’m about to get in trouble.

“What, you can’t even say thank you?” She blabs suddenly, snatching the receipt from me and turning away before I could say anything.

“Thank you for what? Being rude to me?” I respond before she’s gone.

Word to the wise: do not mistreat a cashier during heightened business hours…EVER. Thank you, have a great day.

I have too many work stories to complain about, so I'm dumping them into this blog from now on. Feel free to block or set to spam.

We don’t normally provide cords for photo kiosks primarily because it’s not good practice on our behalf. The store doesn’t provide the employees with cords, so naturally we won’t provide for customers unless we have a personal cord we really don’t mind some stranger using. Seems like an easy enough system, right?

Nah, some lady comes in and asks for an iphone cord, and I tell her we don’t provide them. She leaves muttering under her breath and comes back not a minute later with her own cord STILL muttering in disgust. Even more so, I don’t lend electronics to children. :)
