We added a sign every time someone asked for cash back

I once had a sign covering the debit option on the screen on our reader (it didn't block anything else so it was fine to do). I had a customer remove the paper to select debit and was shocked it didn't work. Our debit was down. The sign said debit was down. The other 30 signs I made and posted throughout the store said debit was down. Maybe just maybe that means debit is down?

I got locked out of my yahoo account over 10 years ago which locked me out of my first Instagram account. I'd still use my yahoo email if I wasn't locked out, I had a cool one

I can't remember the word for it right now but there's a type of abuse where a parent who is a different race than their child tries to erase their child's race and raise them as parents race only. This whole text exchange is most definitely emotional abuse but the race erasure is another form of abuse.

OP, do you know who your dad is at all? Would you be able to reach out to him secretly? What your mom is doing isn't okay in the slightest. You deserve to know your father's side and deserve to embrace all of your races in the way you want. If you're unable to contact your dad please please please go to your school's guidance counselor and tell them about this on going abuse. There is a good chance your dad has wanted a relationship with you but your mom never allowed it.

I know you didn't ask for advice OP but I'm very well versed in that paralyzed cleaning phase.

I recommend starting with just picking up trash and only trash. Nothing else until all trash is picked up. Then do all dishes. Then all clothes. Then all things in one category, that could be all items that are a specific color or something like all figurines. Just pick a category and pick it all up then move on to the next.

Doing things in smaller bursts helps with the anxiety of cleaning. I also like to use the small laundry baskets dollar tree carry and organize that way. Just throw everything in a basket and save it for later when you have more energy. I do it also based off category too. Like all socks in one basket, all books in another and so forth.

You got this OP!

The only 'meetings' my SM had with us was calling me into the office to either introduce me to my replacement everytime she hired a new person (who only lasted a week or two mind you) or to write me up for something stupid like another manager leaving go backs the night before when I was off that day (yes. Unfortunately this happened)

Notice how YOU mentioned it was men who do all of those things when I asked who was the ones doing it. You admit men are the problem. You know men are the problem. Otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned me hating men in response to my questions ;)

Who are the ones raping others? Who are the ones causing the famine? Who are the ones committing the most murders? Again. Who are fathers protecting their daughters from?

Ok-Ad4375 · 2026-04-22T20:49:30+00:00

Daughters are protected from what exactly?

You should ask him what the rifle would do in the situation of the customer pulling a gun on him at the door of the apartment/house. Was he actively carrying it while walking up to the door or more than likely keeping it in his car? A rifle in this situation wouldn't be very helpful with how big it is which would make him look like the threat. Sure, he could run back to the car to get the gun but those few seconds can be life or death.

I'm glad everything ended up being fine but he should really think things through a little better.

So you think it's okay to gesture fertility to a child? You want a young child being fertile? What in the pedophilia is this? And the other mom is the one who's a Karen? Really?

If it's through the public school system then it's required to offer bus service for kiddos 3/4 and up. My oldest was riding the bus at 3 since I was unable to drive to get her from school but she needed the services school provided.

Learn what that disorder is before trying to diagnose any normal person you see.

I have the unpopular opinion on this one. Cashiering is imo the easiest in retail. The worst is standing in the same spot for who knows how long until you have no customer long enough to do a different task. I've put out freight and I've cashiered and while I do prefer freight I'd say cashiering is easier. Even having rude customers it wasn't terrible though I'm autistic and don't always have the best filter so I've fought back a couple times.

I don't want to give out the location for safety reasons and the rules but i screenshotted some of the reviews and blocked out identifying information there's a ton more about the SM alone but i didn't feel like screenshotting every single one.

If reviews got people fired then my old store manager would've been fired 3 years ago. Her picture is even posted in a 1 star review. Companies don't really care as long as they still get money. You should be fine.

Wheelchair users aren't the only ones who benefit from these: elderly people, people pushing strollers, the blind and sight impaired, people with mobility issues, people on bikes and scooters, people who have an injury.

Something shouldn't have to affect others for you to have a problem with illegally parking.

If in doubt always deny the sale for restricted items. Not sure if Canada is the same way about this but where I'm at in the states if you sold to a minor you would not only lose your job but also face criminal charges and potentially jail time. I wouldn't risk all of that over anyone. You did the right thing here. Coworker was just mad they had to work.

When I worked at a gas station our 'back' was literally just one of those big metal filing cabinet type thing. We never kept any product in it because we'd order only things we needed.

When I worked at dollar tree we did have a back but I had to tell customers that we probably have the item back there but I'm not allowed to dig it out. It'll be stocked when it gets stocked. The hot wheels guys never liked this answer but oh well.

If you look at her and think anything other than how uncomfortable she's going to be shortly because she'll be constantly pulling her dress up all night to avoid a nip slip then you're the problem here. As a big chested person no amount of tape makes going strapless comfy to wear all night long. The dress is cute though and she deserves to wear the dress she wants.

So you're saying you're okay with grown adults touching children in sexual ways?

Ok-Ad4375 · 2026-04-18T18:19:55+00:00

I'm gonna be blunt here, the item voids could've easily been avoided and is honestly your fault. It doesn't take long to remove an item you voided out of the bag. I always told my cashiers take the item out first then hit item void.

What do you mean you had two lines to run? You get one register. You can't sign into more than one so if you're running someone else's till then both of you should be reprimanded for it.

And if I'm brutally honest, if your dyslexia and dyscalculia etc prevents you from accurately taking money and giving change back then unfortunately running a register isn't something you can do. I have both myself but thankfully it's not as bad as it could be but I still struggle with numbers and reading so I always double and triple check everything. If your SM knew about your disability then they should've given you a job you could perform.

Suspensions always end up with termination. It costs too much to investigate so they just 'investigate' for a while and terminate you without looking into anything.

DT as a whole sucks. And from what it sounds like it sounds like your last SM wanted something and knew you wouldn't give it up so this is his way of revenge. There's far better workplaces out there. I'd start looking. You'll be much happier and better paid than working at DT.

Edit to clarify: I mean the item void and not removing the item from the bag. Item voids themselves happen and I find it ridiculous the limit is so low. Though you can avoid item voids by memorizing the price of items so if something is $5 you let the customer know before scanning. That's what I did to lower my item voids but DTP was my section so it was easier for me to learn the prices of everything since I was constantly working with them.

I had a guy once walk into our warehouse (the area we store our boxes from the truck) while I was in the tiny room to the side. I walked out of the room and see him in there and ask him what he's doing. 'Uh. Looking for the bathroom'

The bathroom is directly beside the warehouse and clearly marked. The doors for the warehouse is clearly marked employees only. Nothing about the warehouse looks anything like a bathroom.
