I'm interested by that. I would think sorting is such a boring job that it's actually interesting if something is in the wrong spot. I'm totally with you on not at least putting cold stuff in at least that area. That would make me livid.

When I worked as a young kid in suits, there would always be some asshole kid who would kiss the 3 way mirror. And I'd have to re windex it. Re folding always sucked too, you can just tell when a guy is not gonna buy something, but will then fuck up 11 shirts

I hate when parents take toys from the toy aisle for the kid to play with and then they not only don't buy it, they don't put it back.
I collect carts at work and also hate when people leave shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot, especially right in front of me. It's basically like saying "bitch, get this!"
I also hate when people complain to the hourly workers about store policy. Like we have no power over anything.
I hate when people ask "do you have any more in the back?" Where did this myth about having stuff in the back start? Stores make so much money hiding the merchandise from customers obviously.

I do this all the time. My child is more important than giving you more free time at work. You're employed to do stuff like take my shit back to its proper place because I cannot be bothered. I worked in supermarkets for years while studying, and taking things back to other aisles never bothered me in the slightest. In fact, it gave me a break from the mundane replenishment task I was doing.

Well, this obviously comes from the fact that many stores are bad at stock management and don't have enough hands to properly replenish shelves. I have been on both sides of this and find that if you ask sometimes you get lucky. And asking takes very little time, and doesn't cost a thing. I think you simply just don't know what good customer service is, zwack.

I guess it depends on what type of store it is. At the grocery store I work at it's open 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, or 112 hours total. There is a supervisor who runs each aisle but they can only work 40 hours. So while when they're working it's unlikely they let any empty items slip by, the math doesn't add up, even on the days they work they're only there half the time and otherwise just have to leave the shelf to hold up until they get back, and that's before considering their 2 days off. They have non supervisor employees like me who's job is basically to do the aisle for a supervisor who's off that day, but not enough to make sure every supervisor's off day is covered, it's more like 1 of their 2 days get covered.

You are employed to soak up shit from customers, so they leave the store feeling good, so they return to the store and buy lots more shit (which then means you can get your wages at the end of the month). Get used to it. What ever way you can make them happy, you just do it. If they seek happiness from taking their frustration out on you, you roll with it. Or did you think you were being employed for your looks and intelligence?

This is a pet peeves thread. I'm allowed to have pet peeves. I usually just smile nod and say "I'm sorry sir or ma'am"

LOL, what?

Have you never been in a store before? It's not a myth at all. Maybe toy stores or a deli as that stuff will rot, but it used to be common policy to higher end inventory off display. Hell video stores back in the day you had to go in the back if you wanted to rent porn (That wasn't a peeve just creeped me out that people would rent porn, it's like seriously just buy it)

I got my last Mac because it was in the back (Well technically the next step as they shipped it from a nearby store within 2 hours)

Maybe because it's gotten too common a phrase, but it did use to mean something, and I still see it a lot.

You did not. But you get so defensive when Algren tells it like it is. Yet you love it when someone else does it, because it's not attacking you personally.

Smells like a hypocrite to me.

I don't think I love when other people are insulted.

People have a right to be annoying and I have a right to resent them. I accept this.

Algren, let your kid take a toy from home rather than letting it slobber all over one from the store and then not even buy it.

The new trend of saying "all-wheel drive". What was wrong with "four-wheel drive"? Are SUVs suddenly getting more than four wheels?

I'm a whistler, though I haven't done it in a long while. I think it depends on the tune. But I'll remember to do it if I ever meet you. ;)

I think it's because a lot of people consider "4 wheel drive" like... offroading.

who knows

While AWD and 4WD have been used interchangeably - they are slightly different to each other.

AWD = All four wheels generate force all the time using three differentials. I.e., it is AWD all the time (although power may vary to each based on traction/differential).

4WD = All four wheels can generate force but it uses two differentials and a transfer case. I.e., you can use 2WD or 4WD.

I guess I kinda get the second thing in theory (since you're a white male).

But why should anyone have a problem with the first, except... aspiring rapists? :unsure:
