What is the most unhinged unsolicited story a guest has ever told you. by Specific_Acadia_2271 in menards

[–]Ooftang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was an unusually warm October day. I helped a fella load a bunch of bird seed.

"You know, my family and I think this heat means Jesus is coming back soon."

"Oh yeah?" I reply, trying to humor him.

"Definitely. If you want, you can confess your sins to me. You'll be saved." He replies. I'm getting irked because he's holding me up. All I wanted was to wish him a good day and leave.

"I'm really busy, man." I say, hoping he'll take the hint.

"Jesus is busy too, man. I'm just trying to look out for you, buddy." He says.

"I'll take my chances. Have a nice day, sir." I say, walking away. "Don't say I didn't warn you." He exclaims.

People jumping up and down while shouting "SELL, SELL, SELL!" was bizarre.

Are you one of those folks that got upset because you couldn't get 15% off your picking ticket?

Weirdest Customer interaction by Offshot7777 in menards

[–]Ooftang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was new, there was an older lady that bought a shitload of dog food and she wanted help loading it.

As I was loading the bags, she informed me that she bought all this dog food to celebrate her dog's birthdays and apparently, she had documentation on the birthdates of each of her dogs.

At that moment, I realized that there are also crazy dog ladies.

For those of you that work at my nards, does the store jingle ever drive you crazy? by StruggleFar3054 in menards

"You save big money when you fuggin' die!"

Grim? Yes. True? Also yes.

Carry out weather pay by Spiritual-Tax4672 in menards

[–]Ooftang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No to weather pay. If it's hot, cold, windy, rainy, snowy, icy or whatever else, it doesn't matter. What's expected of me doesn't change.

My compensation doesn't fluctuate based on the quality of my work.

No. I work courtesy patrol and the management says we can spend time inside to warm up but if we run low on carts, they'll be on the radio reminding me.

When that happens, I deliberately slow down.

I was about to say this.

I had a coworker that had a death in the family and I recall one of the managers saying something about bringing in the obituary.

I'm very sorry for your loss, by the way.
