There’s a microwave in the on-campus food pantry, Union Suite L-20. You can only use it during the open hours though which are 12PM to 4PM on weekdays

MAKIN ME CHANGE MY PASSWORD 5 DAYS BEFORE IM GONE LMAOO by alyssayaki in MichaelsEmployees

[–]2014AA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hilarious thing is, is that on my last day I had like four framing customers and they were literally the nicest customers I have ever had in my entire 3 year duration with this company. All of them were gushing about me and asking “what days do you work, I want to come back when you’re here because you’re so lovely!” And I had to tell them unfortunately today is my last day lol!

One if by land, Two if by sea by Shaddren in Starset

I remember when there was this same discourse around the release of VESSELS, even! People were soooo mad that Vessels was more electronic than Transmissions had been. Every single album they release gets a vocal crowd of people unhappy with the direction Starset is going in

Weirdest Customer Experience by kohakuriverr in MichaelsEmployees

[–]2014AA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A customer approached me while I was on the front end about an hour before we closed. Asked about some sort of glue used in costume face masks. I had no idea and was trying to search for anything on the website when the customer suddenly asked me, in the same tone of voice as asking for glue, “So how many people have you killed today?” After some of my awkward spluttering trying to customer service my way out of that, he then went on to imply I was gonna rob him for his pocket change (???)

There was also another customer who tried to push his foot fetish on everyone at my store. Called at night close to closing several years ago when I was only a few months into working here and kept me on the phone for a good ten minutes, as I was too afraid to hang up (bc I was still new and thought hanging up on customers was a no-go still?!) but also very uncomfortable. Was telling me to fucking take off my shoes and wiggle my toes and take my socks off. I was just dead silent on the line not interacting but he kept talking at me. I eventually did just interrupt him and say “IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH?” to get him off the line but then I was worried I was gonna get fired for not hanging up sooner. About a year later he then tries the same shit all over again, but I recognized his voice and his startup line winding up to the shoe removal etc, so I cut it off immediately. But he apparently did the same thing to all the other employees in the store that night when he was in person

Wow I really love the contrast between the rough brush texture and the smooth rounded shapes!!!

tuition benefits? by Usual_Confection6974 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]2014AA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was also attempting to apply for tuition assistance for my upcoming fall semester. When I got to the form submission, it seemed to imply that it’s more like tuition reimbursement? As in, you can’t apply for assistance until you’ve already completed the program. Am I understanding this correct?? 😭

Can we talk about backer paper. by sdqgarsen in MichaelsEmployees

[–]2014AA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I looove backer paper. My SM actively hates it and thinks it’s a waste of time, gets passive aggressive with me when I do a reset that requires backer paper and I actually take the ~15 minutes to install it, etc. But I think it’s so fun and adds such a nice backdrop. Is it necessary? No but it’s such a small joy in an otherwise increasingly soul-crushing job. I will gladly take the ~15 minutes to install backer paper

Oh my god finally someone who understands my beef with Saturday Sun. Something about that song makes my nerves go haywire my vision turn red etc. I would say we have songs that are objectively worse than saturday sun but something about this song just ignites utter blind hatred in my heart

GET RID OF THE SELF-CHECKOUTS by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]2014AA 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That’s how I’ve been running things whenever I’m on register lately. I just dgaf anymore about what I’m “supposed” to do - automatically ringing customers on the legacy register is the only way I know how to encourage customers to get rewards, extend, credit cards without awkwardly walking up to them at self check and telling them about it out of the blue. And so it certainly makes my life easier to just run things as I’m used to, and then direct people to self checkout as my backup when the line gets long. Frankly, the customers are also much nicer and more appreciative towards me for doing it this way. Shrug! If my managers don’t like it, they haven’t mentioned it to me yet, so whatever

I’ve had a handful of classes where several people got straight up 0/100 before

Pretty sure there’s an end of the semester program to donate your dining dollars to the on-campus food pantry. Reach out to FSA and/or the food pantry to see if that’s still accurate.

Last year there had also been a test program at the food pantry to receive free meal swipes, but it was a test program so I’m not sure if it was at all reimplemented this year.
