#DO THEY EVEN SHOP AT THEIR STORES?!

[actual-corpse]

Me: *watching food videos where people make kimchi... makes me want to try kimchi but I don't want to make it unless I know I like it so I look it up in my Walmart associate app*

Me@Walmart: "Talk to customer about finding items faster"

Me: *taps to see what it'll say*

MeWalmart: *INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING THE WALMART APP (for customers)*

Me: "OH SURE! IF YOUR APP FUCKING WORKED RIGHT WE WOULDNT BE HERE!"

It's a huge pain in the ass when someone uses that janky app. I'd much rather they come to me and never look at the app.

The app WILL NOT tell you if it's available in store unless you know how to use the app. Which is not intuitive.

So I got people who open the stupid app, see the product (that I KNOW for a FACT my Walmart does not carry) and INSIST that I conjure up this thing that they swear they can get because, "it says you have it online."

No. It SHOWS UP online when you search for it. It's like fucking Amazon but worse.

This is what happens. They type it into the search and it comes up.

And they do nothing else. No deeper investigation.

This is what I see in my work app.

Same search terms. (This app is pretty reliable... especially when you use the correct terms)

But can you see the problem?

HOW IS THE AVERAGE CONSUMER SUPPOSED TO JUST INTUIT HOW TO FIND SHIT IN STORE ON YOUR DUMB APP WALMART?!

CUZ I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING DO IT!

When I'm off the clock, I don't go to the consumer app... I go to the work app because it's faster and makes more sense.

#picture post #long post #walmart #wal mart #apps #applications #app navigation #angry #annoyed #im not angry with customers until they get pushy about dumb shit #im angry with how these companies just dump money on an app and dont even make sure it works #they just add things #and take them away #do they even use their apps? #do they even use their websites? #DO THEY EVEN SHOP AT THEIR STORES?! #i really wanna try kimchi #it looks so tasty #im hungry #im sleepy #walmart app

I scribbled these up during my breaks today, hope you like them🥰🙏😘

(also I was too lazy to print out the template & no way I was going to figure out how to put my drawings in the template using technology👹 so I drew it myself jajajajajaaj)

Honestly this was difficult because I’m still getting used to drawing in this style & figuring out how I want to do things, but it was an amazing way to practice so thank you for lending me your characters for a bit😇🥹 I hope I did them justice!! 🙏💓

Also to anyone who didn’t get the chance to send me their character - this filled up in 10 min 😭😭 I won’t do it again right away but I want to soon! So keep your eyes out🥰

azul who is utterly obsessed with getting Jamil jewelry. Pearls sea glass diamonds aquamarine rubies- if it’s blue, ocean related, pretty, expensive, gold, red, and/or compliments Jamil’s complexion, he’s getting it for him. Azul knows how to budget but he is RECKLESS with spending for his boyfriend bc like, what do you mean that his BOYFRIEND. His darling. Angelfish. He gets whatever he wants

this leads people to believe that Azul has Jamil wrapped around his finger, bc “well he dresses up Jamil however he likes” but they are dead wrong. Azul is willinginhly completely under Jamil’s control and he loves it. He wants to help Jamil and is completely willing to be his little service boy if it means he gets to see Jamil’s greatness.

#Azul single-handedly buys out all of the local jewelry stores #Jamil mentions once (1) that his ears were pierced but he wasn’t ‘supposed’ to buy fancy things bc he was a servant and Azul is immediately #Going on a shopping spree. Sending the twins out to pick things up #Jamil is getting twenty different designer brands suprise dropped at his door #And it’s all just. Fancier versions of shit he owns #“Azul i don’t need a 400 dollar hoodie” #“Ah. Counterpoint- I want you to have it.” #Azujami #jamiazu #Twst #ashenviper #my delusional ramblings (<- Azul spoiling Jamil bc he now has the means to) #Listen I need Jamil to give off like. Rich ass housewife vibe but really he’s just a feral husband #Jamil ‘works’ in the future but all of the shit he has is way to fancy for his jobs #Hella expensive luggage and cars and it’s just Azul’s doing #And everyone thinks he’s like. A trophy husband. #But no. He’s not even asking for Azul just will not take no for an answer for that kinda stuff. #Like “what do you mean you don’t want the latest magical car model you deserve it angelfish-“

Saw some of the grossest parenting today in the bus

#this dad was on his phone the whole bus ride ok #and his two kids were screaming arguing #at most he would periodically tell them to lower their voice while still on his phone #one time he told them to stop the one sitting next to him hit him 😭 and he went back to look at his phone with no reaction #my guy something is seriously wrong with you #your kids are screaming at each other doesn't even matter all that much that we are in the bus rn #theyre not just being loud kids you need to do smt!!!!!! its too early for this!!! i could hear them even with my noise cancelling headphone #anyways #ive never seen smt like this #and i work in a mall i see lots of parents and kids #idk smt really disgusting about a parent just not even interested in engaging with their kids #dude no wonder they're loud they probably want ur attention #also this one lady once who came in wjth a big stroller #and the store where i work has little moving rooms between the aisle so this woman decided TO LEAVE THE STROLLER WITH A KID INSIDE AT THE #FRONT OF THE STORE #the kids started crying and his hrother (toddler not in the stroller but not following the mom for some reason) started exploring and i #i had to watch them until the mom came back but like the woman just left them there??? #i just stepped in but what if i hadnt??? lady????????? #i see lots of cute interactions of course #like this little girl who came with who i think is her grandpa and he asked me to help her chose her next manga read 😭💖 #i basically work in a book/toy store #theres a lot of candy as well the kids love it #idk i like seeing kids being happy ok it is healing #like all the kids sitting on the floors deep in their books while the parents shop 😭😭😭 makes me smile every time top tier behavior

-- Poorly Constructed Enchanted Tool --

A small tool carved from a fruit tree seed. Energy to power the enchantment has seemingly run-out long ago, and the method of recharging is unknown - but, based on the appearance, it's very likely that this was once used for detecting magic. Usually, looking through the glass center would highlight areas of higher magical energy concentration present in the viewer's environment, even if they were otherwise obscured to the naked eye. While this form of enchantment itself is highly advanced, the craftsmanship of the item is far less neat or complex than what might be typically seen in similar devices. It may have been made as part of training/practice, or as a hasty replacement for a previous tool that had broken.

#written from the perspective of some fantasy traveler who checks all of the local thrift-stores and lost & found places for every #town they visit - looking for interesting items and documenting them or something #In reality - just another one of my goofy little avocado pit carvings lol. Still working on inlaying little stones in them and stuff #I don't really have the tools to make super intricate stuff but doing little plain swirly patterns is still fine enough lol. #WORKING ON NEW POLL ADVENTURE also I know I know it's been months.. I have been Busy and struck by the evils of summer #But like I mentioned in the previous one I do want to at LEAST finish the quest with the egg lol #ANYWAY. #Things like this would plausibly exist in Nanyevimi (my fantasy world) but wouldn't be very common as - like mentioned- this would be an #extremely advanced enchantment. REALLY advanced mages could sense magic around them (to varying degrees of pinpoint accuracy of location #) without even having to use any external device. But for a majority of people there's really no way to know someone is using magic near #you unless you either see visual proof or if it's strong enough to feel effects from it (since magic is kind of like radiation in that the #higher energy/more of it youre exposed to the more it damages you/can make you sick/etc.) and even then most people would just be like #'hmm why do I feel so nauseous and bad out of nowhere?' likely wouldn't directly think to link it to magic. Thus the only really reliable w #way isto just hone your senses over like 500 years as you become an expert mage - OR use enchantments like these. But a 'sense magic' encha #ntment is not as common as a just 'magic is not allowed here' enchantment. If you wanted to prevent magic from being usedin a space #it's easier to just put up a broad barrier enchantment around that space than to have some sort of Magic Sensor to pick out if it's being #done and then handle each individual case of it . etc. etc. These sort of things can have their uses (especially for people investigating #things or trying to be secretive about detecting something etc.) but are less common - especially in this form (where visuals are used. itd #be more likely to jsut have like 'piece of metal that gets warm or cool depending on magic nearby'.) ANWAY so this is why it's a notable #object. Though a majority of the realm is not very magic literate - if you were a researcher or a mage and found this at a pawn shop you'd #definitely be like 'oohhh!! :0 inch resting... ' if not you might just be like 'oh cool necklace!' lol #also love the quick 2min ''costume'' for the image of it being used. literally just 'wrap yourself in scarves from the waist up' and slap o #a wig and ears lol #on this blog I guess since it's worldbuilding related and technically art.. maybe more like crafting? I should have a crafts tag lol.. hmm

Local man who survives by identifying smells dragged into a candle store and promptly suffers. (I got so lazy in the end on the last part sorry it's very not accurate heights and stuff)

#the daily life of a deity sucks #modern deities and their weird lives #sorry deacon that you had to die like this #inspired by the fact he might have my facial blindness #but holly got my lack of smell except while i can do fake scents idk if she can i havent decided #inspired by the fact MY SISTER brought me to a candle store and joked that i should try it out and see if i could smell anything #so i rushed to the counter bc there was A Lit Candle and i thought that would be the strongest source of smell #and asked the worker who was eyeing me if it was a scented candle #and she nodded so i awkwardly was like haha i... cant smell.... i was testing a lit candle #and she looked at me with so much pity and then i looked over expecting my sister to be looking at least #and no she is like five feet away from the door outside of it #and im like damn wow brutal so i left and was like oh my b i cant smell even lit candles #and she said no duh i cant go in bc i can smell it out here well enough #then she was like btw the irony is the name of the candle shop is the smell house #and i felt so ashamed i made a worker v sad for me and also can say i entered the smell house and smelled nothing #long post #I MEANT TO INCLUDE THAT ALREADY IM SO SORRY

#hmm🫤 #is it time to abandon this desperate desire to meet someone organically in person and finally wade into the world of online dating? #obviously. i would still be incredibly open to meeting someone organically #but is it time to start actively looking online?? #30yrs is not that far off for me and....I'm ready to have that person who is *my person* #the person i can call when I'm lonely and not feel like a loser because i know they want to share in my company as much as i do theirs #someone who will kiss my forehead and let me lean against them while we watch a movie #someone who will play new board games with me and maybe even some Dnd #i was feeling the Big Sad Lonely last night so today I got out of the house and drove into the city to go to a few shops... #...and just drive in the traffic (I'm a weirdo who actually enjoys city driving on highways) #and one shop i went to was a big game and ttrpg store (so much awesome stuff) #when i checked out i had such a lovely pleasant and fun interaction with the guy at the checkout #he was kinda handsome. not a chad by any means but he seemed cool and had such an attractive voice #and i know nothing about him/his values/his life--not even his name #but i tell you. if that store wasn't 1.5hrs from my house--I'd be dropping in a lot more often just to maybe get to know him a little better #he was so nice and i felt like there was some chemistry there??? #maybe?????? #but i feel like the odds of us actually sharing all/most of the same values are low so I'm just torturing myself by dwelling on it probably #the ramblings of a dragon #i want a man. a fun godly. creative man #maybe i should be looking online 🫠

I remember back when I had tik tok and ppl were talking about how everytime they start a job they don't get trained properly and then they end up getting fired because they weren't taught to do anything and the way it's happening to me rn

#im supposed to be training for 12 weeks.... after 1 weeks of training theyve already moved me to a different store #to start working already like i dont even know how to use the oven or properly use the till #i only know how to make sandwiches these ppl are very UNSERIOUS i only trained for one week and i only made Sandwiches... #if i get laid off cause idk how to do anything i wont even be mad because the shop they sent me to is so far away #from home and my shifts are like. 6 hrs 😭😭😭 i spend more time travelling than working!!! #idk why they sent me to this store when i told them its far away from home idk why i couldn't stay at the store #i actually applied for 😑 #cant use the coffee machine cant use the oven cant use the till only make sandwiches

all malls should be legally required to have libraries in them and also grocery stores and coffee shops with lots of seating and a giant fountain in the middle

#listen i am so so so so so so so so tired 💀 #my landlord's coming for a visit at 11 tomorrow and i have nothing to offer him #but i'm too tired to think about what to buy for the weekend (for myself) #grocery shopping was a burden as it was but then they shut down my nearest store (200 m from my apartment) #and now the nearest one is just far enough so that i don't wanna go there just for a pack of coffee and biscuits #i'm so tired i just had to check how to fucking spell 'biscuits' 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #feeling slightly better now that i rested my eyes a little and drank a glass of water and ate a clementine #but i don't wanna goooooooo it's cold and dark and i don't know what i want to eat during the weekend 😭😭😭😭😭 #it's times like these i hate living alone / being single because i can't just ask someone to go to the grocery store for me #i should also clean up my kitchen and bathroom a bit #i know i'm so brave for doing shit like this all by myself but sometimes i really hope i wouldn't have to #sorry for whining about my little life on main lol pls ignore #i need no advice (but sympathy would be nice. an encouraging headpat even)

working retail is making me remember how much i hate stupid customers btw

#so i work in a tiny nonprofit thrift store. right. #its one room w concrete floors and very compact shelving because there is just No Room for anything. #and our office/employee backroom/breakroom is a little corner with wood+canvas dividers separating it from the rest of the store #with LOTS of signs saying employees only nothing is for sale here etc etc etc #and there was a customer today who went through the divider to ''shop'' in the ''other section of the store'' #and we didnt even KNOW someone was back there until she brought up one of my coworker's purses to ask how much it was </3 #im so baffled. there are so many signs saying its employees only. #not to mention that the office is full of notes and paperwork and my boss's computer and filing cabinets and the fridge and microwave #its CLEARLY an office/break room. even if you ignore all the signs. and YET. #there's also people who will literally just steal. anything and everything #which like. i will always support shoplifting from walmart or another big retail company. in fact i encourage it. #but a tiny locally owned NONPROFIT thrift store that supports local arts ???? HELLO ???????????????? #gah. i should be allowed to throttle one customer per day. i should get paid to do so #most of them are so so sweet. we have regulars who are in almost every day and they are the NICEST people ever #but its just those few who are absolutely the worst most selfish stupid people to ever live #woes from work #winter speaks #all complaining aside i do enjoy my job quite a bit more than i thought i would #i like my coworkers and i feel like im actually connecting with most of them #and i love my supervisor. i have so much respect for her she's an amazing person #you win some you lose some i guess. cool job i actually like but with stupid fucking customers who make me want to MURDER

I feel Andy is the kind of person who doesn't seek to interact with children, but they go to him spontaneously.

Like, he has no idea of how to talk with a kid, but they like him and he has no explanation for that.

And then Kyle mocks him like " You are good with children! " and he is like ". No i'm not! They just follow me and tell me stuff I never asked and try to invite me into their games."

#andy barclay #andy barclay headcanon #( this also happens to me #kids follow me for no damn reason #my irl best friend's little nephew who never bonds with any of her other friends even when they try #was asking me to play football with him five minutes after meeting me #every adult in that party was shocked #i go shopping with my mom and the little daughter of the store attendant proceeds to start showing me all her toys #kids seem to like me and i do literally nothing to make them like me #I'm just existing nearby and they suddenly want to befriend me )
