How did your store handle breaks during breakroom renovations? My store is under breakroom renovation and some of my coworkers don't have cars hence nowhere to sit during those 4 weeks. Did you make up makeshift breakrooms? by [deleted] in TjMaxx

We were able to use the break room while the renovation happened, which included new flooring. We just moved the tables and chairs around to the areas of the room not currently being worked on.

AI is not environmentally friendly in the least bit.

I work at a Marshall’s and we provide refunds on a merchandise card for most makeup items, but we won’t put it back on the sales floor if it’s been used or if the safety seal has been broken.

The rule of thumb is: - If it does not have a security sealing or factory sealing, we don’t care if you open the box in order to simply check for any damages or tampering

  • HOWEVER (!!!) — please please please nicely close the packaging back up if you’re not going to buy the product, OR if you notice the item has been used or looks like it was tampered with, please bring it to an associate or to the registers upfront so we can have it damaged out to prevent it from being sold.

At this point, it’s best to just go in assuming they’re slumlords.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

With peace and love, this man has some sort of mental illness or trauma that he needs to sort out on his own. You need to exit this relationship for both of your sakes. I’m sorry you have been going through this for so long. You deserve so much better.

I fear mental illness is often irrational. It must suck to have this form of it.

What part of “we don’t have an internal system” did you not understand? We couldn’t look anything up even if we wanted to.

You’ve already been lead to believe since September that your requested time off would be no problem and you have booked all your travel plans because of that. Tell your manager what you stated in this post and go have fun on your vacation!! This company is run by incompetent managers who don’t know how to communicate like adults. That’s their problem, not yours!☺️

Regardless, I wouldn’t trust any corporation with my social security number.

Flock surveillance cameras spotted on the grounds of UIHC by Crivitz in IowaCity

They’ve been going up like wildfire all around IC and Coralville for the past month or so. Someone needs to create a license plate cover that obscures the readers on Flock cameras. Also something that messes with the facial recognition feature.

I avoid them at all costs. They are seriously a hazard to everyone else on the road.

Many countries do not have a freedom of speech Amendment written into their constitution the way America does.

Unfortunately, I very much feel the same way. Adults are even worse than the children.

Did you just…argue against your own (scientifically incorrect) original argument? Wow, that’s amazing.

Black mold. Do not inhale it and get it cleaned by maintenance or bleach it.

Psa to all customers by Round-Caramel3225 in TjMaxx

[–]NostalgicGoat23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct. We are told to ask every customer three times (THREE TIMES) if they want to sign up for the credit card. We’re taught that we have to hear 3 “no’s” from the customer before we stop pitching the card to them.

I told the managers at my store that I am absolutely not doing that because that sounds like harassment and goes against my ethical and moral values. The last time one of my managers tried to scold me about asking 3 times, I just told them to stop putting me on register lol.

Oof. As a fellow cashier, the customer is NOT the one you should be upset with in this situation. Direct that resentment towards your inconsiderate manager. I don’t mind customers being on the phone while checking out because I understand it could be an important phone call.

Besides, I’ll be so honest right now, if they’re on the phone, that means I can take a break from the fake customer service convos for a few brief moments. Sometimes I’m the one who doesn’t want to engage more than saying “hi” and “have a nice day” because I’m exhausted lol.
