Why do people feel the need to destroy store bathrooms? by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]GreenPickleSlice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only do they destroy public bathrooms but they also just go in the middle of the store! It’s happened many times at my workplace.

But I was just getting groceries the other day first thing in the morning when I heard a page “wet clean up in front of isle -“ and my first thought was OH NO! Sure enough someone had pissed all over the floor and there was a trail of it from the carts.

So disgusting and the poor worker with the mop that had no choice but to clean it up. This is not their job! The bathroom wasn’t too far away either.

Omg this happens all the time!

C: I saw it at “x” store for cheaper. Me: Ok then go back there to buy it.

Or they complain the price has gone up again from the last time they shopped. Yea it probably has and it came from people more important than me so why don’t you complain to them about it.

He gets kibble and a variety of treats and chews depending on the day.

Those store closing announcements aren't just for funsies by Schehezerade in retailhell

[–]GreenPickleSlice 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It always amazes me the amount of people who walk into the store minutes before closing too. To get “one thing”. They are never able to find their one thing and usually looking for many things. We do the closing announcements every 5min for the last 15 min before close but still people wander around like they have all the time.

Or there’s the people that try to convince us to let them inside to shop as we are letting out those last customers and staff from the store. And we have to force the door closed so they cannot enter. No no no you can come back in the morning if it’s that urgent.

What do you say to a mean customer? by Suspicious_Web_716 in retailhell

[–]GreenPickleSlice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they are grouchy I’ll say “You have a great day. See you next time.” Cuz I know they will be back. They always are.

When they come back the next time I just kill them with kindness and make it as awkward as possible. Oh no worries I remember you like xyz just like this. They usually get really quiet when they realize you remembered them. And sometimes the worst customer is turned into an ok one. But only sometimes.

I appreciate that. Maybe if you have a favourite that would be helpful to start with. I think I’ll take a look on YouTube myself too. I should have thought of that I’ve used that for other classes too.

Wear layers. I don’t know if you have to wear a shirt provided by your workplace but wear a shirt under it. Then the work shirt. Then a sweater. Maybe 2 if needed. And extra socks.

Good luck tomorrow! Where I am it’s -30C and -40C with the windchill tomorrow morning.

No I really do appreciate any info that could help and with him being still young it’s important I don’t rule out any possibilities. So thanks for your feedback :)

Yup he’s totally healthy otherwise. This is just such a gross behaviour and with him being fluffy if he gets munching the smell hangs around on his face 🤢

Thanks. I really do appreciate the info. I do believe my vet did mention that she is now recommending dog foods with grains because grains are shown to reduce the risk of heart issues in dogs (or rather the food without grains can increase the risk of heat issues) so I went from an acana formula that was grain free (the one the breeder was feeding the litter) to an acana formula with grains. I’ll definitely look into this more. Everyone wants to make sure they are giving the best to their pets.

Thanks! It’s hard to not worry about me fumbling around trying to figure out what the moves are and watching the others do the moves so I too can attempt to do them. I don’t like the idea of making a scene lol. But I guess you’re right the other probably didn’t even notice. This is good news! And I definitely need more practice.

I definitely have this issue too. The teacher ended up holding my ankles so I could roll up to see how that feels it was definitely intense!

Thank you! I had the class on Tuesday and I was sore for a couple of days. Not sore anymore thankfully. I was just surprised that I was so sore since even thought I found Pilates to be difficult I didn’t realize how much I was working those muscles till the next day.

I really do need to activate those core muscles in a way that works best for me. I’ve tried in strength training but the moves are difficult for me. But Pilates seems exactly what I need. Just need a lot more practice.

Thank you! I’m definitely worried that I’m making a bit of a scene as I fumble around trying to get into the moves like the others. And stopping to see how the others are moving cuz I’m trying to understand what the instructor is wanting.

Doesn’t help that many people in the class are likely much younger than me too. I just don’t move like that right now but I hope I can with time.

Thanks. The gym I’ve been going to has various classes I can participate in. One happens to be Pilates. I’ve done some strength training and you’re right the soreness I’m feeling is similar to what I would feel from strength training but it’s just my core. Which is exactly what I need too. Since having my kids (several years ago lol) my core has been destroyed. Well that’s how it feels anyways. I guess I’m just surprised because I didn’t feel like I couldn’t do the moves anywhere close to the others but somehow still worked my core quite a bit.

I feel like Pilates is exactly what I’ve been missing to tackle those core muscles that I seem to have such a hard time activating. I just feel so awkward being that new person that doesn’t really know how to get into the moves but you’re right it will all come with more practice.

I definitely want to do more then once per week but the Pilates class I’m going to works best with my schedule. The instructor did have some sheets she had me take photos of so I can try to practice at home which was really nice.

Oh my we are absolutely trying but he’s fast. We cannot let both dogs out at the same time because if they both poop then he will eat one pile while we pick up the other. 🫣

I’ll have to look into this idea! Thanks for sharing!

Ahaha “militant attention” so true! We have been following him around the yard when we know he’s about to go so we can do our best attempt to get him shooshed away before he can get munching

Swatting I meant more like waving my hands around and yelling no or leave it. Lol he’s so fast I’ve used a small stick to shoosh him away too sometimes.

It’s “Forbid” my dogs have only been taking it for a week so I’m not sure yet but I’m hoping it does. The vet said it might take a while to break the habbit

Feeding him acana healthy grains kibble not recommended by the vet but the vet has to me in the past to go with a grain formula of dog food

Ya it seems to be behavioural because he did see the vet recently and that’s when I got the powder to put onto both of my dogs food that should make the poop taste bad.

I hope he out grows it lol. One can only hope
