long stories from the cashiers shitty produce section disappearing meat counters cunty women with to many kids in my way and finally grub stub faggots buying soda and candy

To the people that will inevitably ask why on the day of thanksgiving we are out of
>Stuffing
>Cranberries
>Cranberry sauce
>Sweet potatoes
>Pumpkin pie fillingF
Fuck you last minute shoppers. It's your own fault. You can say "You should ALWAYS have it in stock" but when everyone else is buying it in surplus, you should be smart enough to buy ahead of time.

>>9733666
Can you go check in the back and get me some? :^)

>>9733698
They don't even believe it when I check and go back and tell them.

My favorite question while I was working in retail?

>"Where's your restroom?"

I dont know, maybe where that giant ass sign that says RESTROOMS is. Its like no one even tries anymore cause theyre too fucking lazy just to tilt their head up.

>>9733514
>Self checkout
>Mom with 80+ items checking herself out

This service is for childless 20 somethings. Go away.

>>9733711
Put on a gopro and livestream your journey for me I just KNOW you have some stuffing in the back

People who don't use checkout dividers or slide them back for others to use are such cunts with no self awareness. Same people who leave their cart in the middle of an aisle when looking at something.

>>9733779
>One sad lonely banana, just like the person buying it.

>>9733779
Do...do people not use checkout dividers?

>>9733514
Single black mothers that block an aisle with their cart full of frozen dinners and junk food that you know they'll pay for with their EBT.

>>9733802
Bonquisha's line doesn't have any dividers. She isn't about to run and grab some.

>>9733779
>>9733802
Honestly, most places I've been at have enough register to customer ratio that it's a non-issue. The fuckers who put their carts dead-center in the middle of the aisle, or somehow sideways in an aisle, are probably going to hell though.

And lord forbid they put carts in the corral instead of leaving them beside their vehicle to block traffic or hit cars.

>>9733814
Stop shopping at walmart

>>9733831
>The fuckers who put their carts dead-center in the middle of the aisle, or somehow sideways in an aisle
holy FUCK I hate those people, or the ones who walk at a pace slower than tectonic plates and clog up the whole aisle.
Bitch if you don't know what you want then get the fuck out of the aisle, I need to get to the sardines and you're in the fuckin way

>>9733803
Hey that's not funny
I have to many brothers and sisters
My mom couldn't cook most of the time because she was at work for most of the day
My dad slept in his van near work so he didn't have to waste alot of gas since he worked about 30 miles away

>dude bags his own groceries of like 4 items
>I come here all the time I'm practically a employee! Come on give me the discount haha! I saved you some trouble! ;^)
>No I really can't sorry.
>Oh man, come on man the other cashiers lemme do it!

>>9733854
And I'd like to add how much I hate people who clog the aisle side-by-side so they can chit-chat.

You can always give them an 'excuse me', but you shouldn't need a hint to the sheilas that this is inconsiderate as fuck. And if they get the chance they'll probably backstab you later because people that inconsiderate are petty children.

>10 minutes till close
>registers unironically lock alcohol sales at 15 till midnight
>dude rushes in
>Hey man can I buy beer
>No it's locked me out, I can't sell alcohol but you can across the street I think or at the gas stations still
>NAW MAN I'M ALREADY HERE!
>runs to the back
>gets back few minutes later
>Does the error beep for me not allowing to sell it
>AWWW MAN WHAT GIVES WHERE'S YOUR MANAGER YOU SAID I HAD TIME!!!!!

>>9733779
aldi has the fastest moving checkout in the universe

>>9733884
Or those people that hangout with their friend when they're grocery shopping and they take up room at the checkout line. There would be a big empty gap on the checkout conveyor and I can't place my groceries on it because some faggot is texting on his phone.

>>9733666
>tfw making a completely unconventional thanksgiving dinner because my parents hate turkey and all that other shit

Last year we had lasagna for thanksgiving. It was great because all the stores had cheese for really cheap.

>>9733778
Honestly I’d do that just so customers actually understand how FUCKED the back stock of most retail/grocery stores are. And that we don’t have some kind of advanced computer system that can just magically tell me exactly what we have and where it is. It’s just semi-organized piles of shit on shelves and pallets that I have to search through by hand.

>>9734000
Is it true that you find poisonous spiders and snakes when handling a shipment of produce?

>Work at a pharmacy inside a grocery store
>3 signs at each register and one huge ass sign behind them say WE CAN ONLY CHECK OUT 5 ITEMS; NO ALCOHOL OR PRODUCE
>"I have 8 items, is that okay?"
>"Can you scan these beers for me?"
>"I know you don't have a scale, but please charge me for these apples. I think they weigh around a pound hahaha"

>>9733514

Old people who write fucking checks

>>9734027

>Alright all right I get cash back then
>check comes back asking for punch in of check and ID# verification
>I ain't got my ID on me
>Well I can't sell this
>GIVE ME THE MANAGER THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

>>9734000
Bullshit, you and I both know you have a teleporter that can zap the items I need right now into my cart, you just keep the supply low so you can control the prices!

>>9734023
>Find.
lol no.
We have a machine that puts the spiders and shit in the produce before we put it on the floor.

When I am at the checkout and something doesn't scan, the cashier normally gets all rude and doesn't laugh when I joke about how that must mean it's free.

>>9734026
>I know you don't have a scale
Do third worlders really do this? Even the smaller local chain has a built in scale on the scanner.

>Grocery Store Wishes
I wish grocery stores used a register queue like Fry's.
I wish my store had automatic change dispensing.
I wish customers had to rent carts so that they always put them back.
I wish we didn't allow eating/drinking in the store.
I wish registers weren't designed with 5' midgets in mind.
I wish my break room didn't smell like spoiled ramen noodles.
I wish pajeets would shower every other day minimum.

>>9734108
>Register queue
That sounds like a fucking nightmare
>Hey I just wanna buy these two things
>Okay get behind these 18 people with full carts

>>9733736
She is there because she is stealing half her groceries.

>>9734124
Few items could use self checkout. or you could still have a couple registers for less items.
In the queue there is usually a worker directing customers to open registers.

>>9734124
Fry's electronics is that way for loss prevention control, you can't not be aware of this prior to going in. Now if it was Fry's the grocery store I'd go insane

>>9734107
They do at the registers at the front of the store and at the registers near the deli. There aren't any at the pharmacy because it's not efficient.

I work in management for a major grocery retailer in the north east. You know what I hate about grocery stores? Fucking everything.

>>9734137
Yes, but what do you hate fucking the most?

>>9734149
The fucking people. The customers who constantly have something to bitch about, my employees that constantly have something to bitch about. 90% of my job is babysitting and ass kissing.

>be me
>Assistant manager tells me to tuck my shirt in
>Tell him to fuck off
>GM comes and tells me to do it
>Tell him I'm busy I'll do it when I get a chance
>Don't tuck shirt in ever
>Quit a week later because I got a better job

You never realized how edgy you were until years had passed. I'm kinda shocked I didn't get fired, but not really because nobody wanted to work there.

>>9734164
That's every job in management.

>>9733514
In lidl they always scan faster than you can bag it and don't bag it for you

>Going through orientation for new job.
>Feel old as fuck because I am sitting in a room full of goddamn kids.
>"Blah blah, we have security here, blah blah, you will probably never see them, blah blah"
>Don't want to chime in that I already noticed the two LP officers the store has, because they all look the goddamn same.

>customer asks me to do some outlandish shit for them
>tell them no
>BUH BUH BUT THEY DO IT FOR ME ALL THE TIME!!
Once had a customer bring me a pile of packs of ground beef, demanding that I mark them all down 40%
>sir this was ground and packaged today
>YEAH BUT THE SELL BY DATE IS ONLY 3 DAYS FROM NOW
>that's the base amount, sir. I can't mark them down until the morning of the sell by date
>NUH UH THEY DO IT FOR ME ALL THE TIME!!!

>Checking out
>Everything is neatly in order
>Offer to help the clerk with bagging
>Finish up bagging
>Mexican hobgoblin already pushed her cart all the way up into my rib cage
>Can't access cc machine unless she moves
>Everybody in line has to move 3 feet back

I don't get set off by this but it happens way too often

Having to bag my own shit because the store is understaffed/too cheap to hire enough bag boys to fill the demand.

>>9734296
all the grocery stores I live around you have to bag your own. What's the big deal, to lazy?

>>9734303
You forgot
>couple who don't need it
>ride side by side in the isle

People actually buy the reduced meat?

>>9734328
If you're cooking it that day why not.

>Customer wants an item discounted.
>Because it's a display.
>Tell them we have a boxed model, we have to pay someone to build that shit, so no.
>"But it's damaged, I want it for a discount."
>It's not damaged.
>"Yes it is, there is a scratch right here"
>Customer produces a fucking knife and gouges the display.
>Tell them to get the fuck out of my store.
>Just loud enough to get attention.
>The customer is confused, still holding a fucking knife, asks me what the fuck my problem is.
>Someone else tells him to get the fuck out of the store.
>Look behind him and see another customer, who is telling this retard to get the fuck out.
>Notice that this new customer is open carrying, and this idiot is brandishing a knife around.
>Brain sends note to feet to take two side steps so I stay a bystander and not a victim if this goes full retard.
>Dude drops the knife and books it out of the store.
Got a free knife out of it all.

>>9734328
I have had customers buy reduced price fish that smelled like it was forgotten in the summer heat for a few weeks.

>>9734301
It slows down the lines you dunce.

>>9734320
Fucking hell I used to see these same two redneck looking fucks regularly at my old retail job that would do that. They'd also back them up in unison and you'd hear the loud as fuck BEEPBEEP BEEPBEEP BEEPBEEP the whole time.

>>9734328
>aka managers special
they can call it whatever to make it sound like a good deal. it tricks people all the time into having a 'deal'

>>9734339
If working retail has done anything to me at all, it has instilled in me a deep hatred for stupid fucking rednecks. I’d rather deal with Jamal T. Dindu than Cletus McCousinfucker.

>>9734330
Because it's been sitting there for three days.

>>9734377
There is a high chance you aren't going to notice the difference depending on the meat

>>9734377
If it's steak it's completely fine. Ground beef can be sort of sketchy, avoid fish and chicken like the plague.

I had a million rage inducing stories while working in the kroger deli for a few months. I almost quit right on the spot for one of these times.
>3rd and final month at the deli
>never was given a working login for the RF gun
>just do markdowns anon lol
I would go through this EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY that someone else has to log in, mine doesnt work. My goldfish brained mexican manager would either call IT who wasnt there, or they would refuse to do their job, or she would just sign in for me. I literally went through this whole ordeal every day. Anyway, it was Christmas eve of 2014, Im cleaning up by myself and about to turn off the deli lights and leave the store, already did markdowns, the rf gun is off and in the office.
>an actual jew comes in
>he looks and sounds like /pol/ made this guy for a jew character in a vidya game or a cartoon
>looking at the deli cold case
>fuck. dont talk to me dont talk to me dont talk to me dont-
>excuse me
>god. dammit.
>he holds up discounted fried chicken
>could I have a discount on this?
>well Ive already marked it down, I cant mark it down anymore.
>could you try?
>....what? No, I mean I cant even if I wanted to, its impossible right now.
>please im trying to feed a family with this. Can you just discount it?
the thing is like 2 fucking 50 by the way.
>I CANT
>JUST TRY
>you dont have 3 dollars and youre trying to feed a family with cold fried chicken???? you are bad at this!
at this point it wants to talk to my manager.
>no, leave me alone.
>I wanna talk to yuh manageuh!!!
>FUCK OFF GO AWAY. YOU FIND MY MANAGER YOURSELF FAGGOT
Ive lost my shit and im screaming while at the same time wondering if I should wait around to be fired or walk out. It was my last few days anyway.
>the jew goes away (with the chicken) and finds my manager
>as im leaving my manager sees me and while laughing says I shouldnt scream at customers

anyone thats ever worked in a grocery store, I am so sorry you were subjected to that.

>>9734414
I have a rage story every time I go to the Kroger deli.

>>9734414
Anon, you have to think customers first. :^)

I moved to a college town a year ago, lots of FOB Chinese. When they go shopping it’s like a carnival to them.

>student
>girlfriend/boyfriend
>all of their parents
>at least 2 grandparents
>maybe a couple of other kids and hangers on
>gawking at all the fresh meat and produce, poking and squeezing everything, wandering around in vague aimlessness, blocking aisles and babbling in wongspeak

No we don’t sell dog or cat. Yes all our meat is humanely slaughtered without being tortured first. Why did you bring four generations of your extended family to buy six packets of ramen and two steaks?

>>9734415
Why the FUCK did they stop cutting meat?
Do they employ literal retards that don't know how to operate machinery?
No offence, >>9734414

>>9734438
There is a Super King market rightbymyhouse. They have great selection, and good prices in food and booze, but God fucking damnit, that place is a nightmare because it's an "international" market, so they sell all sorts of ethnic foods, which means you get people of every ethnicity there.

Why in gods name do they take three generations shopping?? I mean the place would be busy anyway. There isn't enough parking, and only 1 cart caddy in the parking lot, so people leave their carts all over fucking everywhere, blocking valuable parking spots. Holy shit.

>close grill down at 7:45
>put multiple signs up saying closed

>cool black delivery guy I always shoot the shit with comes in one day and buys a candy bar
>i give him my discount on the spot because i like talking to him, he saves 20 cents
>comes the next day and buys 20 candy bars asking for that same discount

Never will I do favors for black people ever again.

I don't work at a grocery store, but I am absolutely appalled that apparently nobody in my fucking town knows how to put the carts away.

>>9734509
>$4.00

>>9734523
Thats $4 I am liable for now that I am giving for free and if I didn't stop him there he would try this shit every day.

>>9734518
Where's the 'returned carts to corral or handed them to incoming customer, alignment? Correcting other peoples's shit isn't hard, and handing a new cart to a customer who just parked takes just a few seconds from my life.

>>9734527
Just appalled he would put you in that position to save $4.00

>>9734536
>Just nigger things

>>9734495
What the fuck kind of store has a grill in it that customers can bring their own meat to?

I just simply get triggered by the 300+ pound people with two carts full of cheezits and capri suns that they’re buying with fucking ebt

>>9734556
whole foods
although not all of them i think my store is one of the few that does it in this region

>>9734571
That's pretty based tbqh

>>9734595
yeah its cool
we dont really make any money so they are closing it down eventually but you can get nice burgers, steaks and fish and just give them to me and i cook em up for no extra charge besides the cost of the item itself

I work in one of the biggest Wal-Mart's in Canada. People are really fucking stupid.

We have hundreds of shopping carts right at the front door, but apparently that's not good enough. People leave shit all over the store. If I'm working in a particular department, whenever i find shit that people have left that doesn't belong in that department, I put it in a shopping cart to go up to the customer service desk, where it's sorted and sent back to where it belongs. At least once a week some fuck who can't think far enough ahead to grab a shopping cart at the front of the store when they first arrive will instead dump the contents of MY cart onto the floor and take my cart for their shopping.

And seriously, stop parking your carts perpendicular to the aisles and blocking the aisles. And don't give me that dirty look when I ask you to move your cart so I can get by. I'm not going all the way around every single time this happens, I have a quota to meet.

No, you can't open the fucking package. If after opening it you decide that you don't want it, we can't sell it, so we lose money. Why this is so hard for people to understand, I'll never know.

NO WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE SNES/NES MINIS IN STOCK and no I'm not going to the back to look. We got 108 SNES minis on launch day and we sold ALL of them to people who lined up overnight/early in the morning.

Don't bitch at me when you find two completely different shoes in a shoebox. With the number of customers that we get, making a fucking mess, and considering the size of the department, do you really think we have the time to check every single box on a regular basis to make sure it has the correct pair?

No, we don't have light-up shoes in adult sizes. No, we don't carry high heels in men's sizes. No, I'm not going to search the whole store for the missing shoe to go with the one you found, this is an everyday problem that wouldn't fucking happen if customers didn't feel the need to trash the place as they shop.

i don't work in a grocery store anymore, but i saw this shit all the fucking time with chinese people and i really don't know why. they always travel in groups of at least four, talk loudly nonstop, have no ability to understand that other people are also trying to look at shit, and buy as much shit at once as possible. usually people who don't speak english are nice about it, chinese tourists tend to become FURIOUS if you try to communicate with them in english and do not understand them. i work at a clothing store now and still see the same shit.

>>9733945
>>9734640
Oddly, Aldi's in Illinois seems to have the best produce and the better checkouts. No fucking clue why, it was poverty trash in the other four states I lived.

put it in your cart and bag somewhere else their costs are low because their staff levels are low and therefore you have to do the bare minimum to keep their costs low. you are not a team player.

>>9734759
We are in a lot of ways. Whenever I see fellow Canadians look down their nose at Burgerfats I always cringe a little; we have loads of retards, loads of hamplanets, etc. We just have the luxury of having far fewer nogs and few Mexicans - however, we've got many poos and kebab which our PM masturbates to.

Take it easy buddy, it's not unreasonable to ask for a seasonal item in season. It is, however, irrational to be upset by doing your job.
>>9733721
Take it easy buddy, grocery stores are basically like labyrinths and the only thing that changes is the bathroom location.
>>9733736
Take it easy buddy, the self checkout is for everyone.
>>9733779
Take it easy buddy, sometimes the dividers aren't there or even still, it's not like you have anything else to do when you are standing there, just watch your items.

>when people pay for their groceries with a check

Made me rage. Bonus points if they complain about it taking too long

>>9734920
>lidl
I know, but I figured they were probably pretty similar in terms of checkout speed.

>>9733514
Seeing people are aren't even obese and not even visibly handicapped riding the scooters. Saw this dude and his lardass of a wife scootin' to the door of Walmart as we were leaving and this guy just gets up and walks away from the thing. I can't believe the staff even allowed that. Someone needs to take a stand and say "No Fat People Allowed on the Scooters".

>>9735451
People that shamelessly use things out of laziness and not because they actually need it tend to be loud and confrontational, the staff probably knows that from experience.

>>9735091
Most people assume a stock boy is retarded, so I wouldn't try to talk to customers unless they ask you a direct question. Know your place and stay in it.

How am I not doing my job? Because I don't drop what I'm doing every single time a customer finds a single shoe to search the whole store for it's mate? I mean, I do take a quick look in the area around where that shoe belongs, but no, I don't have time to go on a storewide search.

This isn't one of those small stores that gets only a handful of customers at a time, we get so many customers with so many requests preventing us from putting out stock that it's recognized by management as a serious productivity problem. At this store we literally can't get the product out fast enough due to both how much product we move and the amount of time spent on customer service. This is not a typical Wal-Mart, where you might find employees with nothing to do having a casual chat in the aisle. We're busy as fuck all the time. Recently the store manager was helping the stocking team put out merchandise in housewares, and even he was commenting on how it took him half an hour to put out a single case with all the customers who were constantly stopping him, and that it was a completely different experience from putting out stock at the smaller store that he came from.

Yes, customer service is part of the job, but that needs to be balanced against putting stock on the shelves.

Items out of stock.
Long lines to check out.
Isle blockers.

>>9734078

>sometimes they're not there
That is true, sometimes they are misplaced and people have to keep an eye on their items. But that's not what I'm talking about. Allow me to explain, buddy. When they are **available**, people should use them while they're waiting. Otherwise, the cashier will get people's groceries mixed up, causing confusion and delay the checkout process.

Browsers and stockers. Both are always in the way clogging up the aisle. Stockers just fiddle about moving the million different cereals to the front while there is no bread on the shelves

We don't need to understock to make sure we have stuffing for our oen thanksgiving. Every year we get a ton of fucktards wanting to buy turkeys or stuffing on thanksgiving day. So we know to just buy our own ahead of time, perhaps during our lunchbreak.

>>9736155
Kill yourself. Those are 2 different departments. Next you're gonna complain that the shelves have nothing even though you demand for the stockers to fuck off

Customers who expect us to do their shopping for them. For some reason it's usually east indians.

> "I need black dress shoes, 9 number."
East indian customers never say "size 9", it's always "9 number".
> "Our men's dress shoes are two aisles that way, on the right."
> "Bring them to me."
> "Umm, did you want me to just bring you a random pair of size 9 black dress shoes?"
> "I want to see them all."
> "We carry at least 30 different styles."
> "I'll be waiting here."

Then there are the customers who simply hand you their shopping list, complete with detailed instructions on how to pick out the produce. I don't get it, have they ever managed to get an employee to do their shopping for them before?

>>9733514
Years ago I went into a Kroger and walked over to a table with a pumpkin pie display. I noticed the boxes were stacked kind of odd. So I looked behind where these boxes were stacked lopsided and they were hiding a sweet potato pie. Which I consider superior. Far superior. So I took that pie with the spooky little chime from Zelda in my head when I found it. But then I felt someone looking at me and looked up to see over at the bakery counter this bakery employee with glaring at me with a mixture of sadness and intense anger.

If you wanted that pie you should have hidden it better, lady. So I guess this goes in peeves because employees gaming the system to take home good shit and then getting buttflustered when it didn't work.

Explanation: Here in flyoverland sweet potato pies used to be the NES Classic of holiday foods. For every 100 pumpkin pies you would find two or three sweet potato pies. Which are far superior.

>>9736584
>Be Kroger employee.
>Notice some nice drills went on clearance, normally a $150 drill for like, 50 bucks.

>Put the drills in the hold bay for the "customer"
>Buy them later.

When people get cold feet on shoplifting.
Just pick what you want and leave the goddamn store with it, I don't fucking care. My job is to take money in exchange for shit, if you don't have the money, just take the shit.
Don't walk up to my counter like you're running some kind of elaborate ruse, wait in line, put the shit on the counter and sperg out like a fucking autist for 15 minutes.

This isn't my store, this isn't my shit, I sincerely don't fucking care.

>>9736596
Hey fuck you buddy.
Those people are the best to fuck with.

I had discovered I really liked those Pierre riblets at Dollar Tree. Those are the shit. But man I'm not the only one who enjoys those. In fact they are a bitch to get. Always sold out. Always. And one day I found out why this was going to be harder than I thought...

The store opened at 10:00. I was there at 10:05. Those five minutes would come to haunt me. I immediately rushed over to the frozen food section. That's where I saw her. This black lady who must have come in at 10:00 sharp.

Her cart was full of riblet packages. The entire display. Couple of dozen packages, maybe more. All in her cart. She rolled to checkout as I slumped in defeat.

>>9736602
My dude, I hate retail, I hate everything about retail, I don't give a fuck about your shitty coupon being expired, I don't care that we don't have a specific brand of painkiller (even though there are three other brands on the shelf that have the same fucking dosage of acetaminophen in it you stupid bitch) on the shelf.
I don't fucking care that the pill organizer isn't on sale anymore and you have to pay an additional $2 fucking dollars. The only reason I'm doing this is because it's the only part time job I could find.

>>9736650

>>9736667
Also fuck the homeless, they fucking come in here and treat the goddamn bathroom like it's Salò.

>>9736584
That employee is dumb, we always hide shit in the back where literally no customers will ever see it.

>>9736778
The manager probably doesn't allow employees to hold things for themselves, which is the correct policy to enforce. Customers come first.

Not sure if it was a ruse to try and get free stuff or he just didn't realize how much it was, but either way it was kinda dumb

>>9736783

>>9734518

>>9737177
What shithole state do you live in that doesn't allow you to sell single beers?
Stores here have the build your own 6 pack section but you can just buy a single beer or two if you want.

>>9734930
I have a co-worker here that spouts how Canada is rated top 10 in the world for shit like education, health, rights/freedom water.
I don't know if that's true but I still can't help but get this desire of wanting to punch him square in the cunt face.

And when people ask me where else I would like to live, I say USA followed by Europe and they look at me as if I lost my mind. What? Should I move to some dirt hole in Africa because Trump isn't there? Fuck that.

>>9737234
It's actually a lot of states to be honest. In a lot of states east of the Mississippi. 1 unopened beer has some weird age requirements to be sold so many stores just do all or nothing.

>>9735641
It's okay man, that guy you replied to was just being a stupid faggot on purpose. I'm sure he has never worked retail, or ever had a job at all for that matter.

>>9737244
Can you elaborate a bit? That sounds a bit retarded, I've never heard of a law forbidding the sale of a single bottle of beer.

>>9737255
It's something about it being classified as being served. That's why some places will hire 16 year olds at places as waitresses/etc; but they have to get the bartender to open the bottle first.

I know it sounds stupid and I can't remember what it's called but it's a real thing, virginia is one of those states

>>9737264
I see what you mean now, kind of a dumb law since the beer isn't being opened or drank in the store.
Must suck for people that just want to try a new beer every now and then.

>>9734292
This shit. I fucking hate impatient imbeciles who push their dumbass cart in front of the card machine, just because I stepped out for a second (I use the hand basket a lot and go to put it away while clerk scans items)

I just waltz back and give a proud "EXCUSE ME," as I flash my card and exaggerate my reach over their fucking cart so as to point out that they should back the fuck off.

Same thing with when you're simply waiting in line and the person behind you doesn't leave enough room for you to goddamn stand. I have poor balance and at a certain point I just back the fuck into them anyway because I have a right to have 1 god damn foot of space to stand. And this is every fucking time, too.

Or when you're crossing paths with someone and they don't take advantage of the whole other side of the isle so you STILL have to use laser precision to not fucking run them over.

These have to be the same fuckers who ride your ass in traffic as if that'll get the five cars in front of them to move faster. It's so fucking pathetically lizard brained that I want to execute them on the spot. I don't give a FUCK how busy or stressed you people are. I have such a fucked up limbic system that I'm constantly anxious or panicking, and I still fucking make room for people to exist.

Sophomore year of college ('08-ish), I worked there for a month.

Got dumped in the meat dept. In the morning, the Manager would disappear, then the Asst. manager would disappear. I think they were taking shits, getting coffee, and talking shit with the other depts.

Left me alone to stock the shelves, stock the meat counter, and deal with the fuck heads. When I realized I was making $3.xx/hr after taxes and union dues, yet effectively running the dept for 3+ hours a day, I threw my shirt at them and told them to eat a bag of dicks.

>>9737761

$6-something an hour x 1/3 for tax and a few bucks for unions. Thank God I didn't have to pay for insurance or sign up for a 401.

People who want a tax discount on the smallest purchases.

At least in my store, vendors that came in the mornings stocked the bread (and also stuff like chips and alcohol). The rest of the store was stocked by warehouse deliveries that came on a truck in the evenings and were put on the shelves by third shifters.

fucking kikes man

Grocery stores are either the worst or comfiest places to work depending on your position

Worst are obviously the customer service oriented jobs; cashiers, customer service specialists, deli/meat/seafood counter are all awful unless you're a manager and can retreat to the backroom at any time. Also the jobs where you have to stock things during the day (typically stuff like dairy and eggs) are annoying to do with customers everywhere.

The comfy jobs are the jobs you never or hardly see. I spend about half of my time scanning in deliveries from vendors in the backroom. The vendors are always nice and fun to talk to, its busy enough so you're never bored but not too hectic.

Night stocking is chill too, mainly because of no customers.

The best part is, you're in a grocery store. Tired? Buy an energy drink or coffee if you're lucky enough to have a Starbucks in your store. Hungry? Hit up the deli or grab some ramen if you're a poorfag. Headache? Buy some Advil. This is definitely the best part of working in a grocery store.

I'm lucky to work in a town that has a big golf community, so not too many really bad customers. The worst I get is upper middle class faggots treating me like a servant. I usually just laugh at them for putting on airs in a grocery store, lol

The worst part of a working in a grocery store is how it ruins grocery stores for you. Backrooms are disgusting, the stuff you're buying may have been on that shelf for months, and the "fresh foods" departments like bakery or produce sit right next to the trash compactor with piles of rotting food. The first couple of weeks, I was sick all the time and would have a sore throat whenever I walked in.

Any grocery store you walk into and say "wow! This looks nice!" is just a thin veneer of constantly maintained chaos and decay. Enjoy your potatoes, they were probably on the floor at some point.

keep telling youreself that roastie, I am having the time of my life every day :D

He WILL cheat on youre freeloading ass too, I hope you know that. Any money you make in youre life will just be a result of him having to do all the work, and he will no that

Anyone else imagining the capslock kid here one of those squeakers on a FPS game?

Probably mad at the world because he got kicked out of a store for trying to steal some candy.

>>9738149
You know damn well they don't store the lettuce, milk and glitter in the same area.

i'm sure some rich-ass playboy is shitposting on 4chan Cooking Forum instead of a butt blasted autist with no friends

worked at one for a while in high school an college. Very few things actually bothered be except for:

>people who brought their own bags
>people who preferred paper bags despite a small order, or anyone who wanted double paper

Are you sure it's not just you?

Reclaim section full of broken Christmas decorations next to trash compactor which is less than five steps from where they keep the trays of bread (uncovered, I might add)

Why are you so aggressive, sweetheart? Did Mommy not have the time to tuck you in because she was out with your new daddy?

>>9738301
Nobody has time to clean a stock room floor, plus it gets covered in road grime nearly instantly by the forklift if you did anyway.
The only time it gets "cleaned" is when they wax over the filth or have to paint an area, which involves painting over said wax.

>>9738304
Don't forget if you have a garden area, I remember chucking town bags of manure in the compactor.
May or may not have leaned on some of the deli trays next to the chute.

>>9738307
>Nobody has time to clean a stock room floor

A competent employee would, but they wouldn't be working in youre pathetick shithole XD

>>9738086
Reminds me of my current job. I work for the company AutoZone, and I have a base store where I do my paperwork. And these customers will not fucking relent when they see me. Why ain't you checkin muh battery you was jus out they. I'm sorry, but I have a real job with a stupid company that makes me wear the same uniform as the counter retards, while I make 90,000 a year before bonuses.

>Why are you so aggressive, sweetheart?
Because your post pissed me off. It was the text version of that webm where the faggot dabs a pizza and puts in a latex glove to eat it. I probably wouldn't be so angry if my mom actually did go out with a new dad instead of keeping my jerk of a dad around.

>>9738335
It's alright Anon.
We all know how great things would be if Blastoise was our real dad.

>>9737255
theres a lot of similar laws to that. no "single serving" beers after 8pm in my city because too many people would drink them on the streets. you could buy a 6 pack but not a 40oz

>>9738335
youre fucking pathetic, your lucky your new daddy didn't smash yur skulll with a hamer and replace you with a knew baby

I'm paid too much to be a janitor

>>9738368
I watched someones trophy wife fill her husbands Porsche with diesel because he told her to use "the expensive" gas.
I had to call my boss over so we could watch the poor thing get towed away after she drove it 20 feet and it died in the middle of the lot.

>>9738385
I'm pretty sure the janitors would get fired if they even tried to mop a floor a customer never sees.

>>9738319
This is the bane of my work day. Gagging because of mounds of spoiled broccoli and onions, going right past a tray full of rolls. Kills me.

>>9738395
I admire you, sir, I think I would walk out if I had to do that.

>>9738378
It's not that, it's the way you fucking post. Like those annoying retards who say "OMG, I'm so ocd lol".

The way my local grocery categorises everything. They are a little bit on the gourmet expensive side. They have a international foods section, a gourmet section and then regular isles like a standard supermarket. So if you want to buy say a particular curry sauce you have to walk all over the fucking place to find it and they are constantly reorganising everything.

>>9738773
What kind of pharmacy do you go where they have to weigh your drugs?
Is it a crack house?

Checkout isn't so bad in aldi, it more depends on the time of day you go shopping for food, but I've found it doesn't add much wait time to get checked out just a lidl.

>go to get summer sausage cut at deli like i always do
>all of a sudden they try to charge me for getting it cut

The fuck is this shit? They weren't doing it a week prior

>>9734689
>someone tried to take my shitty cart after i finished with it
>told them it was a bad cart and to pick one of the several hundred literally 2 feet away
>they take my cart anyways

>>9738857
Aldi checkouts are freaky fast because they don't fuck with bagging. It's the only store I've been to where the cashier is scanning items faster than I can put them on the conveyor.

>>9734331
Mhm...yup...

>>9734438
Chinamen are some of the most unaware people on this planet. Cant believe some of them even manage to survive until adulthood.

Those unattended little shits that "snack" in the produce section consuming their own body weight in grapes.
Those same little shits poking their fingers into soft fruits and leaving holes.

based chinks

When did stores and corporations become so cucked as to let their customers walk over their business and employees? Things would be better if the customer wasn't fucking right all the time.

>Customer comes in to store's cafe
>Says she didn't like the coffee her son bought yesterday
>A coffee from the day before that she drank fully
>Free shit

>Customer comes in after hot table closes
>Asks for French fries
>Tell her no, she asks for the manager
>Free shit.
Then she comes in the day after and tries pulling the same stunt. The absolute lack of backbone at my store is astounding.

>>9738711
There is a reality show featuring people that are literally addicted to coupons, the kind that goes in panic if their 3-4 carts full of items don't total in the end to about handful of dollars. Be glad you didn't cross paths with one of them.

>>9739002
Too much competition, they have to bend over or see customers take their money to someone who will.

>>9738331
To a LARPing neet? No, I'm sure you're an 7 star Bridgestone/Firestone chef who can't be happy for anyone.

>Standing two inches behind me in line to check out and moving along with every centimeter that I move
>That faggot who HAS to start piling his shit on the conveyor belt as soon as possible after I put the divider down
The cashier is still scanning my shit, you're not going to get yours scanned any faster. These fags are why I give myself at least a foot of space between me and the person in front of me and keep the cart behind me after I unload it, give me some goddamn breathing space.

>>9738970
I'll take being a flyover then. We barely have niggers yet, and the three poos in the county own gas stations or some shit and don't mingle with the white folks.

>>9734108
>I wish customers had to rent carts so that they always put them back.
This is a great idea but make it a temporary charge that gets refunded when you return the cart. If you don't, the money kept goes towards cart replacements/paying the guy who has to go bring it back for you.

>>9739317
Hasn't that been a standard for years now? I honestly can't tell if there is any store left that doesn't have carts connected with chain that unlocks when you put in a coin and gives you back the coin when you connect the chain again.

>>9738952
I remember watching some kids running their hands over all of the lower shelf broccoli right next to me while their mom ignored them. This shit it why I try to grab fruit/veggies from the top or under the outer layer as much as possible.

>>9739370
I have never run into that anywhere I've shopped. What's the point of paying for the cart if you get the money back before you even shop with it?

>>9738096
>gibs me
>I neeeed some

2 things that really get under my skin.

>>9739399
You get the money back when you return the cart after shopping and putting your bags in the car, keeps the area free from carts carelessly pushed to the side.

The colored people munching on shit they haven't payed for or "sampling" the fruit. Fatties hogging up the isle. People in the "express" line going mental after they're told it's 10 items or less for that register. Negligent parents letting their kids be little shits. Every fucking store doesn't carry Chipotle Cholula hot sauce.

>>9739370
>>9739399
It's mostly a euro thing from what I've seen. I've never encountered it in the US.

>>9740341
They have that at some places in Canada, a damn good concept I think because I don't see a single stray cart in the lots of those stores
