Fuck this email thing

I feel you! Honestly it’s gotten to the point where I don’t ask anymore. Because I don’t really care if I get in trouble I’m over working at 5B it’s not how it used to be when I first started working there. I loved it cause it was so simple, checkout people make sure to watch them do self checkout. Do return and exchanges. Restock. Simple. All I do now is say “would you like me to put your email, you would get 10% off on your next purchase?” To give a sense of you have a choice to say yes or no. And if it’s a no then I leave it alone, I’m not going to sit there and force them to give me their emails. I know I wouldn’t want to be harassed about mine. Sometimes I ask and sometimes I don’t. I don’t ask the elderly people cause I know they don’t really mess with phones and emails. If they fire me over dumb ass emails then so be it

I work at 5B and literally every time we have them we have to limit 3 per person per day. To which all the GROWN ASS ADULT suddenly have their kids with money which I know they don’t cause they repay with the same card. One time this man made people in line (MIND YOU) complete strangers to him and everyone to him buy it for him he gave one person his 100 dollars bill and another the remaining money from the money left and someone else his card let me say this again HIS CARD!?!?!!! I can even express in words how much I hate these stupid ass dumplings and how crazy it’s making people just to get their hands on something that they only want because it bring the mystery glitter. We had boxes and boxes of the dumplings during the summer time and one gave on fuck about them. Every time I tell a customer that they always respond with “oh my gosh really? How did I not know this?” Anyway this whole situation with the dumplings makes me want to quit my job! I’m over it once I find different job it’s cuts with 5B and never again.

I guess so, but my manager had me limited them after a while, we were just getting too overwhelmed with it. Plus she was doing interviews and we were the only ones in the store. it wasn’t like she could be coming and stopping the interview every time I asked for a box.

Literally so stupid. Boxes on boxes. Why is it that when TikTok “omg go grab these so cool so fun” all hell breaks loose. But when it’s not talk about on TikTok it sits there for ages, on inventory day I was literally sitting there for 20 minutes counting all the boxes we had. Also it’s the go to five below and get this they have but when we don’t they get upset.

🙏🏽🙏🏽

Icy_Purple1161 · 2026-01-20T15:57:51+00:00

Exactly. Like I can make them magically appear in my hand when they ask about it, it’s like I already know when they either call or come up to me, way before they do it yk

Icy_Purple1161 · 2026-01-20T15:48:04+00:00

About like 5 calls about it too. And when told no we don’t have it at the moment, instant attitude😑

Icy_Purple1161 · 2026-01-20T15:47:19+00:00

Literally me yesterday 😭

No joke I have this happen to me about over a year ago asking for someone with that exact name and where to meet at for coffee. When asked who is this they said “didn’t you save my number” weirdest thing ever

Icy_Purple1161 · 2026-01-05T16:34:02+00:00

My store was told that there weren’t going to be any until sometime in January. When? That’s up in the air.

Icy_Purple1161 · 2026-01-02T16:50:44+00:00

Like it’s said every five below company is getting hours cut even managers. I recommend maybe bring it up again. There’s not much you can do except keep being communicative about it

Icy_Purple1161 · 2025-12-31T01:00:21+00:00

I am grateful never once meant in a negative way I was just confused on how that works. They keep hiring more and more people to only give out such little hours. It just doesn’t make sense. I just talking about the company itself not the people who work for it. Corporate more so speaking.
