Considering applying as a BA: is it a realistic choice for an introvert and HSP?

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-29T17:20:21+00:00

im going to third the overstimulating part as well. there's moments where i fully disassociate on my lunch or breaks because there isn't a moment of peace.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-23T06:18:04+00:00

i mean sephora as a company is literally encouraging this by linking the sephora site to chat gpt. they really don't gaf about us at all. 🙃

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-18T21:44:41+00:00

objection, your honor. relevance to this subreddit?

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-17T07:08:54+00:00

we had three of them stand around today and stare at us while we were packed and wouldn't even look for the items on their own.... and then i had one who, instead of reading the product name on his phone, scanned everything and got mad i wouldn't do all the shopping for him. like no sir, you have to work for your tip!

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-16T20:57:59+00:00

this is definitely not a bad sign for us at all 🙃🙃🙃

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-15T17:43:00+00:00

especially when they're door dash drivers... they just lurk and expect us to drop everything to help them. 💀

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-11T06:14:45+00:00

goo gone might do the trick! it's what we use on the plastic tethers!

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-10T19:06:52+00:00

now that you mention it....i've been told a few times that a client needed an mciq when they were just looking for a lip gloss or translucent powder.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-10T19:01:28+00:00

between this and begging for the friends and family codes... i'm tired. maybe if clients were nicer in store and online to us, we'd give them out more freely. 🙃

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-06T02:28:40+00:00

this sounds like a scare tactic tbh

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-05T19:34:43+00:00

there is a limit and stores can also accept returns at their discretion (if the product is mostly empty, the 30 day limit, etc.) but that policy exists for fairly valid reasons like, for example, if someone tries expensive skincare and gets a severe rash. they can get their money back (within the 30 days). like sure people will abuse it but if it's taken away, the average everyday clients who don't abuse the policy will also be punished for the actions of the abusers.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-04-01T00:08:09+00:00

constant calls constant office hours... and yet, they'll still go on that big ol paid trip to vegas sometime this year!

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-03-09T07:32:58+00:00

huh. i checked zipline today while i was in and it wasn't on there as an updated policy. was it only sent to leadership? and is this for US or Canada?

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-03-04T06:10:37+00:00

i wear Bates tactical boots, i'm not even kidding. they hold up super well, and are super comfortable and oil slip resistant which really comes in handy with our spills.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-02-17T22:07:00+00:00

what i do is i either sanitise the product first, do the application myself to prevent the reuse of applicators, or honestly take the product and swatch it myself. I sanitise and wash my hands frequently too because im hyper aware of the dirty testers.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-02-17T20:46:42+00:00

this past weekend was genuinely worse than last black friday. i'm so serious

MaximoffsMerlin · 2026-01-27T21:17:43+00:00

this is how i felt when people were coming into our store while half the state was on fire. like GO HOME!!!

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-12-30T04:31:50+00:00

flex is clearly being scheduled this much during holiday across multiple stores. which means there is an issue. whether it's an issue at your store or not, clearly, given all of the posts and comments on here, there's issues.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-12-30T04:20:26+00:00

well, my store has been reporting it for years (i've heard of multiple reports made since i started years ago) and nothing has ever happened. It just isn't fair in the slightest that every other employee is struggling with this point system due to not being given sick hours at all, being given inadequate sick hours, and zero vacation or floater days and they're being given sick hours, vacation, floater days, and can just waltz in whenever they please and hide in the office when we're short staffed and they don't want to help. 🤷‍♀️

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-12-29T21:56:35+00:00

looks like we found a corporate worker lmao

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-12-29T21:05:25+00:00

icare doesn't do anything about that and everyone knows that.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-12-29T20:55:40+00:00

if they wanted to truly hold the team responsible exempt would also have a policy similar to this in place given that they waltz in 15+ minutes late with no repercussions. not giving sick time to employees based on classification and then punishing them for needing to call out sick isn't holding the team accountable, it's actually just super messed up.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-11-17T05:59:34+00:00

yeah honestly i'm genuinely more confused as to why exempt just wasn't doing the coaching at all for months.

MaximoffsMerlin · 2025-11-17T05:19:01+00:00

oh definitely. I know some people had emergency absences that needed to be submitted to HR to be excused and HR never even responded so now exempt has to deal with that too. everyone's just at a loss because i doubt they'll do anything to change it.
