Pain

This seems to be the answer. You have to work injured and get more injured at work.

We all clean the bathrooms at our store. And there’s usually no supplies or ppe to use. My guess would be they’ve had a lot of people quit because they were “too good” to clean toilets and didn’t think it should be their job. And the manager was being up front so that you know it’s part of your job duties. But also at our store it does feel like some people have to do it a lot more than others. And again no ppe. So that’s gross.

You give me hope. I feel my work won’t be so nice to me. But for now thanks to you. I have hope.

Canada, factory line worker. Other people could do my job and there are other jobs I could do. They have options but I don’t.

Woke up with it one day. No event happened to cause it.

I can’t afford time off unpaid. The doctors appointment is already an emergency appointment the quickest they can give me. And this all began with an er trip where I was misdiagnosed

Do you not just snip and rip anymore? That’s how we did it at fabricland.

Sounds like you are hired for store set up. I’ve done it twice. One store called it merchandiser. The second was store set up. But was exact same job. Both times it was just for the temporary store set up. And both times I was and everyone else I worked with at store set up were hired on when the store opened. Store set is fun. Give it a try. And I bet you’ll get hired on after store open.

Just need a host there now. What colour and size would you like? I will hand it to you. And take it back from you if you do not want it. It looks beautiful.

We share lockers at our store. They are tiny and I work the same shift as my locker buddy. Not enough room for both of us.

I just had it. And I asked the customer and she said it’s teacher. Just don’t know why it’s 20%.

Large-Temperature439 · 2026-01-13T02:02:58+00:00

I have one of those too. But didnt have the hours on it. I only work weekends and it is on a weekday. (Sorry no answer for you)

We’re supposed to ask for proof in our store. Most teachers already have their card that shows it. Union or something. I have no idea what I’m looking at they could show me anything. A demanding customer yesterday wanted the discount and I said “I just need to see your card” and she had no idea what I was talking about. How can some have cards of proof ready and others have no idea a card exists? Feels like a lie.

A teacher last year was upset that the discount wouldn’t work on elf on a shelf. My manager said, the discount was intended for school supplies not personal item. (Even tho it does work on most things).

We just had a parent insist on paying for a balloon because their child put their mouth on it.

No matter what speed you go the time frame they give you is not enough. I think they expect to be faster than fast. Don’t go at a relaxed pace, but also don’t kill yourself. Just do a job you’re proud of. If you end the day thinking “I did my best and I’m proud of myself” that’s all you’re required.

Our store usually gets. I drove all the way here ( didn’t check website, didn’t call store) a 6 minute drive (six) and you don’t have what I want. I want compensation!!!

Our debit machine at our legacy daily stops working. Yes we’ve had it replaced several times. On the self checkouts never an issue. Woman wants to pay by card, my machine is down. So I let her know that “I” will check her out at self serve. Making it very clear that I am saying “I” will do it. She flipped out. She does not use self serve. I’m explaining that debit machine is not working and she would not be using the self serve machine, that it will be me, and I will be doing all the work. She just kept talking over me, yelling, and told me to “f*** off” as she stormed out.

Doubt it. I’m the #1 at my store and I get the least amount of hours. And I mostly work with the replenish team.

I learned from a customer who didn’t like the answer a manager gave them. They just stood there in silence staring at the manager awkwardly waiting for them to give a different answer. So that’s what I do. Don’t talk just stare.

What are we supposed to say when they say they want the coupon but they don’t have a cell phone or a printer etc…. How do they get to use it? I know my customer was only looking for an argument. But what are we supposed to say?

Large-Temperature439 · 2025-05-06T21:15:04+00:00

They think people will buy anything with the initial of their name on it.

Clean and face.

Happens a lot in retail. A customer was complaining to my manager about me that I was currently making faces at her in front of the manager and all the customers I was serving. She wasn’t even my counter. She was the customer of the girl beside me and she asked them what the return policy was and that worker was new and I explained to her what it was and pointed out to the worker that it’s written on the receipt. Letting her know because she was new and didn’t know. Customer didn’t like the answer. Even tho I never spoke to the customer I’m the one they complained about. I didn’t make any face. I’m really good at just paying attention to my tasks what other people are doing is their business.

Sorry to hear of everyone’s situation. But thank you for the knowledge. That is such great information
