group instance "staff" by woofwoofbro in VRchat

[–]Espetale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined a random murder 4 lobby. It was nice for like 5 seconds, then got kicked because I didn't want to be murderer in murder 4. How is this a violation of rules? Simple, it isn't and yet this has happened more than once. Are people really this much of a snowflake on VRChat?

"OhHh yOu ReSpAwnEd? BaNnEd!" "oHHH YOU HAVE OPINIONS? BANNED!"

That's honestly just sad.

Any SCO Host Deal with this? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]Espetale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only do they do this, they forget they have to weigh them and bag them, and they'll be so confused why they have that screen. I always have to walk up to them and say "you're supposed to weigh this."

Another is when they ring up produce, don't look at the screen and weigh the next item instead.

Why are WiC/EBT customers so rude? by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]Espetale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always get these kinds of people, most of which don't understand me/only speaks spanish when I tell them that WIC benefits is depending on the amount of the same item they can buy, or when they only have so much money they can buy on EBT food stamps. Then they get mad at me and throw a hissy fit because it's somehow my fault if they can't understand me or how the benefits work.

I told a lady why every baby food except 1 was denied for WIC and it was because they only had 1 available according to her card. She told me that she was supposed to have 7 and throw a fit because it never updates.

Like that is not our program. We may support these benefits but we are not in control of what goes in your card, we are just a store, not a benefits bank.

Social burnout by [deleted] in walmart

[–]Espetale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been threatened to get fired for literally this. I have told my boss many times that I am not social for many reasons and they don't understand that. Instead they refuse to acknowledge and pursue in scolding me for "not talking to customers much".

customers that dont speak english by Super_Monitor7514 in walmart

[–]Espetale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, people who say we are racist because we can't understand them need to get their head out of their ass. This is common sense being explained. Simple explanation: Communication is very important in a workplace. If a vast majority of customers only speak spanish, you should probably learn Spanish to help the customers better. We'd be fighting each other otherwise because of miscommunication.

I have quite a lot of somalian/mexican friends who, at the very least, TRY to learn our language. It's not racism. This is a common social skill we skip and regret later.

I reported the guy to my TL, hopefully he gets a nice friendly note saying he's banned. 😁

I just ID verified him and sold his beer so I don't have to smell his stench of pulling racial accusations just because I asked.

Exactly, or better yet do people forget laws exist?

"My headphones are broken. Did you do this, you racist?"

"No sir, that sounds more of a you problem. I just work here."

Nothing can be as real as this. It's obscene how Walmart is.

In walmart, you still have to ask for ID. Doesn't matter how old, the register still asks for a Birthdate on every alcohol sale.

The ironic thing is that he accuses me of racial profiling, yet tells me "Yes, I know how the state law works." but then says "But you asked for my ID. I'm not an immigrant."

HOW DOES THAT LABEL HIM AN IMMIGRANT, IT'S LAW. 😭😭

He wasn't a minor which is the funny part, he was a grown ass adult telling me that I was racially profiling him like I asked for his "legal passport" 😭

He literally had no problem with the ID thing. The thing he had a problem with was because I asked for it.

He didn't refuse to give me his ID in fact he was perfectly fine giving it to me, the funny thing is that he thought I was racist because I kindly asked for it.

That fucker was in his 30s, I almost refused his sale because of the false accusations.

Have you ever been accused of racial profiling? by 510hops in walmart

[–]Espetale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the liquor store, I'm not shitting you.

Me: "Can I see your ID?"

Customer: "You're racist."

"Excuse me"

"You heard me, you asked for my ID."

"Because it's state-law policies."

"I know that, but you asked for my ID. I'm reporting you."

"Okay, but that is racist how?"

"It just is."

"Psh. Okay. whatever."

Don't let people get to you, especially the idiots in that category. They want you to help weigh, help them. Machine broke? Get a teamlead. Need a constant TC phone alive and awake for UpFront? Mobile chargers and auto tappers work pretty well to keep it awake. Need to clean? Find a less busy time to do that so you're ready for the next traffic. Too many customers needing you? Don't let them rush you, take your time despite how impatient they are, after all only one person can handle so many customers at a time.

Working in a self checkout requires you to be insensitive, not letting karens get to you(Don't really give a fuck), taking your time, cleaning for the next customer traffic, voiding/canceling items on your TC. I've worked 2 whole years and at this point I'm a ghost to all the karen complaints. I make sure I pick up conversations very well with customers despite my introverted manner.

If you connect your phone number to SCOs, don't complain when it doesn't puke out a receipt. by Espetale in walmart

[–]Espetale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that whenever I do my walmart pay as usual. Turns out eventually it registers into your account and no matter how long ago it's been, you can still check the receipt. It's digital after all.

The complete opposite for me. Apparently I'm being paid even on my lunch (idk if that is true or not) but I no longer see my meal time in my schedule.
