How do I get out of retail? It feels like a trap. It feels like once they’ve got their craws on you they pull and pull and pull you down so that you can never escape. How the fuck am I supposed to get out of here? I don’t have time to gain more experience from and unpaid internship. I don’t have time to complete any training for a skill-based job. I want out. I want out. I want out so fucking bad and it feels like there’s absolutely no way out.

#retail #customer service #retail workers #being treated poorly by both the customers and your managers weighs you down real quickly #it can make you lose all motivation in life #I’m searching and searching and searching for jobs #it’s all retail #it’s only retail #I feel so trapped

So yesterday was Spotify Wrapped, and that’s pretty cool. You know what else is pretty cool?

That’s right! Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday, the day that Bandcamp waives its revenue share to put even more money directly into the pockets of your favorite artists. When you buy music from Bandcamp on Bandcamp Fridays, 93% of the money you spend goes to the artist/label (on average). This means that tomorrow is a really great day to look at your Spotify Wrapped top 100 playlist and ask yourself if there’s any artists there you need to throw a little cash to. Me personally, I’m thinking of getting into some more Ginger Root. But whoever your faves are, whatever your genre personality, whichever -core suits you the best, remember:

Because as useful as Spotify is for us as the listeners, the fact remains that artists don’t get shit.

#spotify wrapped #spotify wrapped 2022 #bandcamp friday #and if you want cool graphics to brag about all your sweet buys that's what glitter text generators are for #seriously though get into ginger root he's a diy icon and everything he does slaps #he has christmas songs and i actually want to listen to them #i work retail i hate christmas songs #for him we make exceptions

i thought there was a call to boycott the entirety of black friday and cyber monday?

i think there are people on tumblr & twitter that are advocating for a full boycott (which is good), but specifically with BDS & according to their website they're just calling for a targeted boycott against puma, HP, and marvel for black friday and cyber monday (along with the other targeted companies)

personally, i'm also boycotting starbucks (for their treatment of unionized workers) as well as a few of the other companies not listed in the immediate full boycott list.

as of 11/22 on their twitter, this is what they shared:

1. Consumer boycott targets - The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands carefully selected due to the company's proven record of complicity in Israeli apartheid.

2. Divestment targets - The BDS movement is pressuring governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from as many complicit companies as practical, especially weapons manufacturers, banks, and companies listed in the UN database of business involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, as well as the WhoProfits and AFSC Investigate databases of companies enabling the occupation. Below we give some of the targets we are campaigning against.

3. Pressure (non-boycott) targets - The BDS movement actively calls for pressure campaigns against these brands and services due to their complicity in Israeli apartheid. We have not, on strategic grounds, called for a boycott of these brands and services, instead we strategically call on supporters and institutions to mount other forms of pressure on them until they end their complicity in Israeli apartheid.

4. Organic boycott targets - The BDS movement did not initiate these grassroots boycott campaigns but is in support of them due to these brands openly supporting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

ultimately the companies listed under the first category you absolutely should be boycotting 100%.

and i'm not going to tell you to not also boycott black friday, especially since it coincides with the temporary 4-day "truce." like i said, i know there are groups that have been advocating for a full boycott this weekend along with protests; there were hundreds today, from Washington, DC, to Massachusetts, to California, to Florida... i shared the creator's day because they do that every other month or so on itch.io anyways & i wanted to link the BDS information alongside it. they may update in the future as well and call for more targeted boycotts as the holidays ramp up so i suggest bookmarking the website or following them on twitter, and look for a campaign near you to get involved directly.

BDS has also called for a global day of action on November 29th, which includes intensifying all targeted boycotting campaigns.

#i did see a post going around calling for a full black friday boycott on tumblr but i wasn't able to find it again #tho it doesnt seem to have been directly from BDS #but other pro-palestinian groups instead #i always encourage boycotts to be clear. they work #i dont really like.. participate in black friday in that way. im a retail worker lol #but i'd say if you're typically someone who makes a weekend out of it then... maybe go to a protest this year instead #like you dont need the shitty deals anyways it's all a scam. trust me #anonymous #ask

Be respectful when filming or taking pictures in public.

It's one thing if you're filming or taking a picture of a busy tourist attraction where it's unavoidable that some of the crowd is going to be in your picture or video. But it's another thing to intentionally take a picture or video with the intent of capturing someone doing something you find funny or embarrassing, without their consent, with the purpose of mocking them or having "funny" content.

First of all, most people are going to rightfully feel like it's a violation of their boundaries to be intentionally filmed or photographed without their consent. It's also just bullying behavior to take a picture or video of someone with the intention of mocking or ridiculing them.

Some people might think it's harmless if the other person never finds out they're being filmed or photographed, but it's still heavily disrespectful regardless of whether or not they find out. And you can't ever be certain it won't get back around to them.

And some people think "it's all in good fun" or "we're laughing with them, not at them" but if it's someone you barely know, or don't know at all, you can't know how it's actually going to make them feel.

#When I worked retail #I worked in a gift shop #that had big corny novelty decorations outside #so if you worked opening shift you had to drag them outside #and for some reason tourists thought it was hilarious to watch us drag out giant polar bears or wooden cut outs of vikings #so it happened all the time that tourists would take pictures or videos of us while cackling about it #me and a few of my co-workers would actually approach them and demand they delete it #one guy seemed confused about why I was mad #he thought I would see it as all in good fun #but he was a perfect stranger to me #so of course I didn't want him filming me #manners #good manners #politeness #courtesy #etiquette

I don't think people are honestly taking into consideration the fact that shitty/overwhelming work conditions DO impact relationships outside of the work environment. I haven't, until more recently, especially pertaining to my own work conditions.

Imagine working and socializing with customers and co-workers for 8+ hours a day, and all the good and shitty things that come with it...to then come home and do more work, and trying to socialize with friends/partners after all that.

Yeah, be for real. Cut yourself some slack. If you're friends with people with this sort of work-life? Cut them some slack (that isn't to excuse poor treatment of others, mind you)

We're just on the fritz as it is. Frazzled, even.

#working customer service #retail #in the service industry #all sucks the energy out of you #one of my team members called off today and i thought i was going to work the entire shift alone #that's what it means to be an assistant manager lol #thankfully i have another team member scheduled for today yippee

what if i make nikolai the unhinged seasonal department manager in the retail hell universe? it would suit him i think. the seasonal department is an ungovernable land filled with some of the wildest people i've ever met

#retail hell au #i know i talk about stockflow being filled with grumpy men #but seasonal is where it's at for unhinged behaviour #i think it's all the access to fresh air
