#retail store needs

[awek-s]

I want this job so bad and the fact they actually messaged me to ask questions rather than straight up ignore me if they didn’t like me or offer a courtesy interview while knowing they didn’t like me is giving me a lot of hope but I realllly hope it’s not like. false hope lmao

#retail sucks but I actually quite enjoy it at the same time. I’m like a really nice person contrary to tumblr user belief #I got a lot of anonymous customer reviews that were super positive when I worked at the video store #like customers genuinely loved me 😣 #I just need someone to give me a shot NOW like it’s been ages #mrow.org

I hate you Black Friday. I hate you overcrowded areas. I hate you extreme sales that last for one day. I hate you corporate who rakes in the money while the employees still get paid the exact same amount as any other day. I hate you customers who destroy stores just to get a few items. I hate you customers who forget how to treat someone like a fucking human being just because they’re a Black Friday retail worker. I hate you shitty backed up three hour wait time traffic. I hate you people who become so selfish and vile just because it’s Black Friday. I FUCKING HATE YOU BLACK FRIDAY

#I’m not even at work yet #but my coworker who had to be there at 5 FUCKING 30 to open at 6am sent us a pic of a line outside that was so long #we don’t know where it ended #and when I go in I’ll be there until 10-fucking-pm cuz we close at 9 #my friend had to park halfway across the mall lot instead of parking near the store like she wanted #and I will be leaving an HOUR AND A HALF before my shift so I can circle the lot fifty times if I need to to find a decent spot #i FUCKING HATE BLACK FRIDAY #retail #black friday

wuh oh I'm on an indie fragrance kick again! anyway. environmental storytelling spotted here

you just know some pickle hater bought the Dill Pickle Scent and then contacted the store like WHY DOES IT SMELL LIKE PICKLES!!! ONE STAR!!!!

#the THIS IS A DILL PICKLE SCENT IT SMELLS LIKE PICKLES DO YOU UNDERSTAND. PICKLES #vibe reminds me of when someone untied the double sliding knots I had carefully tied a necklace with #and was like hm it was kind of hard to untie! #the notes I put in the first few packages after that had the same exasperated vibe of like. THESE ARE SLIDING KNOTS SO YOU CAN ADJUST THE #LENGHT OF THE NECKLACE. PULL ON IT TO OPEN. PULL THE KNOTS APART TO CLOSE #DO NOT UNTIE THE KNOTS. I AM IMPRESSED THAT YOU EVEN COULD DO THAT. THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE UNTIED. BLEASE #HERE IS THE MOST DETAILED POSSIBLE DESCIPTION OF THE PHYSICS OF HOW THIS WORKS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNTIE THEM. PLEASE #retail story. kinda #online stores story??

i hateeee being a customer because i always feel like the scum of the earth asking the employees to do their jobs with my presence. Can’t go less than two hours after opening because i don’t wanna bother the openers. Can’t go less than two hours before closing because i don’t wanna bother the closers. Can’t go when it’s busy because then I feel i’m making their jobs harder and i can’t go when it’s empty because then I feel im imposing on their peace… So my ass simply stays home

#need to buy eggs but the store only opened 15 mins ago and i feel like a slime if i go now #having worked retail before will have you wondering shit like ‘is it normal to go to the store’

So you guys think we will be getting Side Order amiibo? If we do im guessing the lineup would likely be Acht, Pearl Bot and an agent 8 (likely the girl one) but I could see another Marina, goopy fish enemy's, agent 4 or characters we haven't been introduced to yet I just hope we get amiibos like we did for Octo expansion

#Still begging for an Octo pack restock at retail price I can't spent $60 on 3 small figures after having grabbed up so many recently #Splatoon #Side order #To have a full set excluding recolors I need the octo pack' orange inkling girl' pink inkling girl and Big Man #I got the rest of Deep Cut but they were out of Big Man when I got there because I didn't remember when they came out #If I could snatch some of the recolor very cheap I probably would but damn amiibo are expensive #Local game store has the swim form octo loose for $50 and I just can't justify that #Avoiding ebay and amazon like the plague for amiibo buying too much of a pain if there's problems #Give us king salmonid amiibos nintendo I'm begging I need a cohozuna one #Villains would be nice too and Judd

[rewritingcanon]

guess who just worked a 1am shift last week and didnt get a single dollar of it on payday 🤡🤡

#im gonna fucking kill something #i was supposed go get increased pay from this shift bc its a night shift too ru fucking kidding me #i feel like i will never see that money even when i have to inevitably ask for it #because somehow theyre going to blame it on the fact that i clocked in wrong since i was transfering to another store #even though i double checked with both managers and workers there #FUCK #i need to quit this job i dont get shifts anyways #fuck coles #the tags wont let me write ‘fuck coles’ again #IM MOVING TO FUCKING WOOLWORTHS BITCH #FUCK THIS SHIT I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT I CANT FUCKING STAND THIS SHIT #FUCK YOU COLES FUCK YOU RICKY WHEN I CATCH U RICKY #guys trust me when i say ive been having issues with this stupid fucking job all year. its why im angry not just this one instance #i just want to quit so bad and get a job that’ll actually give me shifts and PAY ME FOR THE SHIFTS I FUCKING DO IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR #BUT IT TOOK ME THREE HOURS TO APPLY TO STUPID FUCKING RETAIL STORES #WHY DO I HAVE TO WRITE A FUCKING COVER LETTER FOR THE REJECT SHOP. LAME ASS REJECT SHOP #fuck me. seriously #not hp #vent #i dont even have a fucking flybys card

The irony of stores selling "stim toys" or "sensory toys" and then blasting pop music really loudly and having bright, fluorescent lights, or even flashing lights...Really seems they think "stim/sensory" means "'satisfying' to watch on the video app du jour" and not what it actually means.

#source: my roommate is autistic and I'm neurodivergent but not autistic... #...and there are a few stores where even if she has her noise-cancelling headphones and even sunglasses... #...the store is too loud and too bright despite their line of 'sensory friendly toys'... #...and I often reach a point with the blasting music and get overwhelmed...it's just too much #So it really feels like they have no idea who actually benefits from stim/sensory items and why #It's just another fad to retailers they can market of off... #Not sorry that when I go to shop I need to not have the latest pop music blaring down at me so I can form a thought... #...instead of leaving the store feeling drained and dazed

#now I'm going to be investigated by one of my jobs #the manager who has it out for me because I had to cancel ONE shift because I was genuinely sick #because apparently I clock off too quickly on late nights #I've been doing this for a year!!! #it takes me two and a half hours to get home on late nights!!!! #of course I can do it quick because it takes ages getting home #i don't feel safe walking home late enough as is!!! #it makes me feel like shit that she thinks I'm this dodgy person who can't be trusted #why do I have store keys then if she can't truat me!?!?! #i need to get out of retail #I'm so over the weird drama #*scream*

[meowchela]

Heh desk reveal

The Miku print I bought it a year ago at a convention, but I couldn't find the artist who it's from... This is the watermark on the print, tho, maybe someone else will have better results

#i really need to get Kotoko's bday acrylic stand and a sakura miku noodle stopper figure #BTW THOSE KIKIS ARE FROM BLIND BOXES I WASN'T TRYING TO GET HIM I WANTED CINNAMOROLL BUT IDK WHY HE LOVES ME #the little knitted thingie was a gift a friend gift me for my bday last year #THE SPLATOON AMIIBO I GOT IT FROM A... WHAT ARE THEY CALLED #the places where you bring old stuff ti sell and they re sell it? well one of those but for videogames AND IT WAS SO CHEAP #IT WAS CHEAPER THAN ITS RETAIL PRICE AND I RUSHED INTO THE STORE #the pink diamond i bought in... middle school? on a school trip also really cheap #impossible to know what are my favorite colors

[crybaby-bkg]

I need to start making my own money there are so many clothes I need to buy just to wear them to Michael’s and the cheesecake factory

#I’m actually so serious rn ALSJDKDDJ #I just love clothes and they make me feel better #and they make me feel more secure when I DO get to go places #bc I won’t have to worry about buying something new last minute #also retail therapy bc a bitch is struggling real Bad at the moment #I’m gonna start selling these mfs and these glass paintings and actually start thinking about commissions #bc I’m not on my zoom besties im not 😔 #anyway I have this two piece sage green set that I absolutely need cause I’d look so. good in it. I know it. #but it’s fifty bucks and I’m also a cheapskate #gelp me #—in store chit chat! 🍫

Everyone, meet the newest addition to my plushies.  Isn’t he so cute?  I love him.

What should I name him?

#plushies #today was a retail therapy day #after the day i had yesterday i was DETERMINED to have a good day today #when i saw him in the store i was like...fuck you're so cute i need you #but i didn't buy it right away #i told myself #if it was still there when i got back after shopping around and eating lunch and getting my steps in #i was going to buy him #and he was still there when i got back #so i bought him #best decision ever #he's so fucking cute

These organizations supporting KOSA going through while claiming they want to help marginalized kids are actually so disgusting to me. The posts they make about Nex is just virtue signaling & words when their actions say let’s make things worse for these children.

I’m gonna be 100% honest, they should keep that kid’s name out of their damn mouths so long as they support KOSA. Like actually fuck you & eat shit. Actions speak louder than words, traitorous scumbags. You don’t care, you care about your stakeholders more.

Your organization can only thrive & exist so long as there’s a problem to donate towards solving. Of course you would support KOSA, you need a problem to keep existing in order to look like the good guys & solve it. Just go mask off & call us slurs & your “customers” at this point, it would be less disgusting than covering it up behind kind words.

#this goes out to the Trevor project & PFLAG as well as GLAAD & GLSEN #all of you should keep Nex’s name out your mouth when you have every intention to make things worse for trans kids #I can’t imagine going to work for one of these charity organizations & just seeing your bosses make things worse for the people you are #trying to help #I cannot imagine how frustrating & upsetting that is & then the higher ups are just like okayyyy our organization can keep existing... #so now y’all lower rank workers go help these kids whose lives we just made worse! #these charity orgs function like retail stores I stg; they need customers to keep giving them money meanwhile the higher ups make things #worse for said customers while the cashiers & others just try to help the best they can #you’re doing damage control for your incompetent & terrible upper management; it’s just like every other American workplace #you can also compare supporting a bill that would hurt the people they claim to help as a war economy comparison #they need to keep the class war going by supporting this bill in order to keep having money to keep existing as an organization #they’re playing both sides while on the surface saying we are here to help! #no you aren’t! your workers are; but you as higher ups are prioritizing stakeholders over humanity & for that you’ve lost all my respect #I haven’t looked up evidence about the human rights campaign supporting KOSA but they’ve been bad in the past so I believe it tbh #I mean the recent Zionism from HRC is enough for me to be like yeahhh no they absolutely would be in support of the Kosa bill #mine #op #the trevor project #pflag #glaad #GLSEN

Boss makes a buck, I make a dime

So I apply to other jobs on company time

#work reform #ik the first part isn't the original phase #but the wealth disparity is even worse than it used to be #and this has alitterstion and also rhymes #but yeah supervisor decided that all of a sudden I need to me micro managed even tho I'm the best in my area #I've already been fed up but with no car and no degree my options are limited #yesterday was just super bad #and i ended up venting a bit to the cashier at nearby petstore #cause she's retail she understands the woes #she mentioned they're hiring #I remember looking uo wages prior and they weren't the best #and so I brought it up #but she was like 'yeah our minimums 15 :(v #well fuck me because I get paid FOURTEEN AN HOUR #so that's still a fucking raise #and instead of working for a dying clothing store #I at least get to work for animals

hell day today and i'm only two hours into my EIGHT HOUR SHIFT

#9 to 5 by dolly parton starts playing in the background.. #literally had to open up shop alone 2day and also was entirely alone for the first 45 min. of my shift so that was already a negative start #to the day + i heard that i can't have my break later than two thirty which is very bad for me bc 1) there'll be a lot of ppl all around me #when i'm eating which i already dislike and 2) like 85% of ppl taking their break around that time are VERY noisy eaters so even worse and #then 3) it'll be really loud in the room as well bc everyone's talking loudly and eating and the cutlery's clanging against plates and such #and also some ppl have actual full-blown arguments with each other in the break room bc half the ppl here hate each other's guts so more #negatives to the day and then on top of that we've had sooooo many annoying customers already today who r just. intent on making u stressed #out and upset and literally will tell u to your face to 'do your job better' like bro...i can easily tell you haven't worked in retail.... #also someone hung their clothes on the rack outside the fitting rooms which is where u hang ur clothes when you're DONE fitting them & don' #want them bc they don't fit or don't sit right or u just don't rlly like them after all so if clothes are hanging there we the ppl working #there WILL take them and hang them back in their original places what did u expect to happen?? anyway someone hung the clothes they had #tried on already and did want there and i reached out to take them bc like. that's what we do here..we hang the clothes on the 'discard #rack' back in the store bc else the rack gets stuffed and the woman literally grabbed my arm and said 'those are mine what do u think you'r #doing' LIKE?????? GIRL THE RACK'S THERE FOR A REASONNNN ofc i'm going to assume u don't want them anymore if they're hanging there that's #why it's called the DISCARD rack....also how am i to know those specific clothes are yours HONESTLYYYYYY STFU AND GET OFF ME #ALSO some dude was like (to his child but like. looking at me while he said it.) 'this guy needs a haircut doesn't he' bc my hair is kinda #long and apparently i passed today. LIKE 1st of all kind of a rude thing to say to a stranger innit 2nd of all setting a great example to #your child there just casually commenting on other ppl's looks like that👍 3rd of all jokes on you you wouldn't consider me a guy if #you Knew most likely. thanks for that little zing of glee much obliged <3 but also man just piss off will you. 4th of all my hair isn't eve #that long....like the ends of it are just shy of my shoulders wdym LONG if u knew the long-haired guys i know you'd faint. #anyway. great start of the day. i still have six more hours to go 🥴 #ALSO no surprise this always happens but my legs already hurt SOOOOOOOO BADDDDDD :((((((((((( #r.txt

[liesyousoldme]

i applied for 3 jobs today :)

#i’m only putting in for like 12 hours a week for small store retail positions #but i’m really hopeful #i need to get out of the house more and extra money never hurts #i just worry my huge employment gap is going to hurt me
