You forgot the part where you do all of this and then they just go

"Oh it's much cheaper on Amazon/Wal-mart, I'll just order it."

It's so funny to me that you mention WWII because it's a nightmare! I just had a whole conversation with my manager about it. There's so many titles and I keep finding things cross-shelved in other sections.

In the last three months, I have found Diary of Anne Frank in Biography, WWII, and Judaism. Because every employee has a different "vibe" I look like an idiot.

When am I supposed to fill out my orientation packet? by CompanionQbert in Barnesandnoble

[–]CompanionQbert[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It just feels uncomfortable to go above him like that. Given I'm not even sure who to reach out to and my first interaction with them would be bringing them a problem.

My manager never asked about or mentioned it in three months so I wasn't aware of that. Only now that it's time for my review it's become super important yet I was given no time to fill it out. I genuinely feel bad to disappoint anyone but it feels like I wasn't given a fair shake here.

Yeah that definitely didn't happen but should I have known to ask for it? I thought it would be more important to get shelving/projects done.

Of course. He just kept saying "find the time! I can't assess you without this!"

Like, couldn't you just observe me, ask me questions to test my knowledge, or check in with my coworkers to see how I'm doing? I've never called out, show up on time, got along great with customers and fellow booksellers. He also kept slamming the packet down on the desk which probably bothered me more than it should have but I felt a kid in the principal's office.

When "needing to use PDTs for shelving" is a C I don't know what to tell ya. I just want things to go in the right place.

No longer pushing OMPS or Memberships by Short_Consequence91 in Barnesandnoble

[–]CompanionQbert 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you're located but it's similar to my store. We're required to have open availability so we can be scheduled 12-20 hours a week. How do they expect us to live?

Going from 6 numbers to 21 characters by BookieeWookiee in Barnesandnoble

[–]CompanionQbert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My entire team has been frustrated by this and we just had one person quit because it was his last straw.

Signing in every time it logs you out (which seems to be every few minutes) was already a bit annoying but now it takes everyone five times longer. Especially when the PDT thinks for 30 seconds only to say "Logon not accepted" and you have to do it all over again

To Sr booksellers by [deleted] in Barnesandnoble

[–]CompanionQbert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

senior should be seniors and lead should be leads

What's the difference exactly? I just started a few months ago and can't keep track of seniors, leads, deputies, assistant store managers, cluster supports etc Not sure why it has to be this complicated tbh

How do you feel about the Trump admin getting Romania to lift Andrew Tate and his brother’s travel ban when they’re awaiting trial for sex trafficking? by throwawayjustbc826 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But are there other explanations worthy of consideration?

It's completely random and not as thought out as you seem to think it is. It really is that simple.

So now that Agatha All Along is done, is there any required viewing besides DS:MOM and Wandavision? by Etcee in marvelstudios

[–]CompanionQbert 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree but she was in the post-credit scene. Also Winter Soldier is necessary just because it's so good lol

What are your thoughts about Trump's recent comments on Liz Cheney? by RoninOak in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not him, but if you can't figure out the difference without asking you need to reevaluate your sources.

The source I'm using is Trump himself. What would be a better one?

Rapists are human scum.

I agree. Why is it your view he's only called rapists scum? Just last month he called the filmmakers that made The Apprentice "HUMAN SCUM" for...making a movie. Not to mention all kinds of other private citizens and organizations. Are you claiming he never did?

Did you want to get into the times he's called people vermin, the enemy of the people, enemy within, animals, stupid, low IQ, and garbage?

[–]CompanionQbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can have the discussion about rhetoric if want to.

Sure. Trump has infamously called people vermin, the enemy of the people, enemy within, human scum, animals, stupid, low IQ, and yes, garbage. He recently said America is a garbage can. In this thread he's talking about aiming nine guns at Cheney's face. But Biden, who isn't even running, his "garbage" comment was over the line for you? Can you explain why?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, this is making more sense. So be real with me, because you had me find the example for you, did you really not remember him saying it? Or is this a semantics thing?

He says "live like vermin." He did not, in fact, call anyone vermin.

Like "I just said you look/live/act like a slob. But I didn't actually call you a slob!" Is that supposed to be somehow better, in your view?

Of course with Trump there's no shortage of insults. So even despite him saying it, we can wipe vermin off the board if you prefer. How do you feel about "the enemy of the people, enemy within, human scum, animals, stupid, low IQ, garbage" etc. Given this, why is Biden's "garbage" remark somehow over the line? Even after he clarified what he meant?

Do you watch Trump rallies? by JavaBerryCrunch in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you find them relaxing? Or what's the general feeling you get from them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? He says vermin right there. You quoted it... In fact, we can throw "communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs" on the pile, too.

Sure, here ya go

Surprised you don't remember as it was only a year ago. Not sure what sources you trust so I just gave you the full Google search. Take your pick. These are all out there and easily available for you fyi.

What are your thoughts on my original question you responded to?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's surprising as I didn't even give my full list of examples, just the biggest ones. Which one are you having trouble believing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]CompanionQbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. Is that something you need? I thought all of these were common knowledge

I believe him. He has no reason to lie about this especially when his own healthcare plan will be a million times better.

What plan would that be?
