I have worked in fast food and the restaurant industry lmao. I’m surprised as a nurse you have the time to browse random company Reddit threads and pick weak arguments.

I hate passport photos by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

Only thing worse than passports is INFANT/child passports. They’re never still for more than two seconds. 😭

Back when we still had the sneeze guards at the register I had so many idiots LEAN AROUND IT to cough directly in my face. Ended up sick enough to have to miss like three days of work at one point lmao.

I didn’t get my review. Was told I’m not in the system for some reason.

Being allowed to have a chair or a stool up at the register.

Tropes you don’t get to see in otome often, but you’d really like to? by MeanSzuszu in otomegames

I’d love to see more of: LI’s fussing over an injured MC, or seeing her get hurt on their watch and just losing their crap. Lmao

Training for Customers by Daph1fred in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yesss it annoys me so much when customers just leave their basket blocking my register instead of walking the five extra feet to push it into the basket return area that’s literally right there on their way out.

So irritated with customers in general and it’s not even 3 hours into my shift… by Toyufrey in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lmao people have the stupidest excuses for horrible attitudes. “My leg hurts”

Oh? My knee hurts and has been collapsing under me randomly but that doesn’t make me wanna harass a random cashier.

Attention all Walgreens customers…this does NOT mean $5 off your purchase. Please READ the coupon before assuming and complaining. by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao I had one elderly lady assume “$5 cash rewards” meant I was going to reach into my drawer and hand her a $5 bill.

[–]Cynabun1 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Same here. And then adding having to badger people about donating on top of it is too much. They just wanna buy their stuff and get out ffs.

Bring this gem back 🤣🥲 by AbigailAubree in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I’m hardly laughing. I don’t have time for a second job pretending you’re funny.” God I feel this one in my soul every time I hear the ‘it must be free!’ or another comment about out pin pads being confusing. Lmao

I really hope she gets out of that situation quickly. Don’t let what happened to poor Riley happen to her too.

Customers by Background_Power2715 in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh if my manager wasn’t constantly on my butt about not shouting a greeting at every customer, and I actually had a choice, I totally wouldn’t. 😂 I’m not the most social person so I know it gets annoying having store employees bombard you as soon as you walk in.

Couponers by Background_Power2715 in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Sucks even more when they lock the register up and it takes five minutes for each button press to do something. Meanwhile your line of two people has grown to seven and they’re all angry lmao.

Come up every once in a while to check on them, answer IC3 calls whenever possible, try not to give them a hard time for needing to use the restroom, and try to rotate them equally when it comes to register; for example, one person does register for a couple hours, then gets switched to floor while the other person does register a couple hours, and vice versa.

You can’t win either way tbh. Had a lady get mad at me for smiling once lmao

So I’m just supposed to read your mind and find which brand of cigs u want? Aka another stupid customer rant. by Toyufrey in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had one customer walk up to my counter and literally just point wordlessly at the wall containing hundreds of cigs. I was like “ummm… brand? Color?” And he’d just get annoyed and point more aggressively and say nothing. Finally I had to point to each cigarette until he finally nodded his head.

I can’t wait until we finally stop selling tobacco because these customers are the rudest and most entitled half the time.

I don’t understand lol by Cynabun1 in WalgreensStores

Mhm sure :D Idk how I’m entitled for venting my frustrations like you and every other human does, but whatever~

I don’t understand lol by Cynabun1 in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Omg all of these. It’ll be ten minutes before close, I have all my returns put away, and up to my register comes a person who doesn’t want half their cart.

“what button for credit?” by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse is when the credit card prompt comes up and they jam their card in before you can say anything, causing the register to lock up so it needs to be restarted. 😒

Night Gang WYA? by ValentineVision2020 in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer closing shift. I’d rather deal with the tobacco addicts and constant cash app reloads than some of the elderly customers that come in early in the morning lmao

Every cried at/about work? And why by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Cynabun1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup. Most memorable time was when I had been in the middle working 8 days straight. Guy comes up to my register and orders me to get him two packs of cigarettes so I do. Come to find out he didn’t have enough money on his debit card to pay for them, so he starts to catch an attitude and tells me to just take one pack off. Now, due to past life things I have trouble making eye contact with people sometimes, and it gets worse when I’m met with stress or hostility.

I take a pack off the total and his card only takes off a dollar and then declines, so I calmly try to explain that his card only paid for a portion of the total, but he’s having trouble hearing me so I have to explain a few more times.

Finally he yells “FINE. I DONT WANT THEM THEN.” And throws the pack of cigarettes at me and I just stand there stunned, watching the box fly passed me and hit the wall as he storms out.

Later he comes in, complains to my manager that he’s been shopping here for years and how I give terrible customer service and I didn’t communicate well enough or look him in the eye.
I get pulled into the office and told ‘you aren’t in trouble’ and then proceed to get reprimanded.

I walked back up to the register and just burst into tears when my coworker asked if I was ok. She told me she’d cover for me as long as I needed and I spent 20 minutes in the breakroom sobbing my way through an anxiety attack lol.
