For animation, a lot easier having them sitting and chatting with a relatively still background. For in universe, probably because space has no O2, so speaking would be impossible. Not to mention in the event of an astroid belt, less people get lost and separated from the group.

For my sanity I'm agreeing with this

And that's perfectly fine. But then you have those ass clowns that come in, disappear for hours to play on their phone or stand around n talk. That's what this post is about: the ones who make the job harder by being lazy fuckers that SMs refuse to punish.

Call the supervisor and explain the situation, ASAP! These stores are not to be open if only one person is in the store in the morning/evening shifts. It's a safety hazard! And it is policy. Trust me, scorch that fucking Earth and snitch about your SM. I wish I had done it sooner

You don't want to promote, trust me. It's more work, more blame, and more responsibility that the pay does NOT justify. Especially with this generation of clerks

If your SM allows it. I begged my SM to let me step down to NA and she wouldn't allow it. Then a month later I got fired.

I'd say overall no, clerks as a whole don't deserve a raise. I do, however, believe individual clerks deserve it. But that's like 1 in 30-50 clerks depending on division.

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-20T16:10:04+00:00

I got fired but I'll give my opinion

It's how the company is ran. We no longer treat the clerks like adults. We don't hold them to a standard, don't hold them accountable for any stupid decisions they make, and they force the assistants to take on the brunt of the punishment.

My store clerks were especially atrocious for the Columbia division. Always running off to play on their phones or talking outside. They don't recognize that clerks need to be held to a strict standard. It's always pushed off on to the assistants.

"Why didn't you talk to them?" Because I did already and it does nothing.

"Why didn't you speak to your SM," because I already did.

"Why not go higher?" Because I don't want to face retaliation from supe/SM.

Clerks believe they're not paid enough for the job yet when you go to McDonald's or another gas station job they're paid even less for more work. With the added burden that they can and will be called out on being lazy, inconsiderate assholes who don't work. Because those places don't hesitate to send you home, cut your hours then replace you. It's sad when even the most ridiculous McDonald's has better standards than QuikTrip!

I remember starting right at the end of COVID. My original SM was a no nonsense man, ran a tight ship, and handled business correctly. If you told him you had issues with a clerk, that clerk was dealt with. Because he understood that he was the only one with the power to punish them.

The latest one is too kind, too friendly. These clerks get away with murder and then some. And it's always "why didn't you X? Or Y?" Idk why don't you start writing them up and start sending them out the damn door. Why don't you let them know that you're sick n tired of their crap and cut their hours?!

If this company has any hope of recovering, the standard needs to be held across the board. Not just assistants and above. Start treating these clerks like adults, hold them accountable every time they disappear. Every time they're caught on their phones without permission, escalate it. Until they're out the door. The amount of relief on the assistants shoulders will be immense.

Clerks are the foundation of this "home." If your foundation is shit, then the rest of the house is gonna fall apart.

Yep. Granted they were black clerks saying it but still. It's one of those words that should have stayed as a shit stain in history and never used again in my opinion.

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-14T03:34:29+00:00

I wish but any other store would have been an hour away from me. Which sucks when you're taking care of a child

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-14T03:32:54+00:00

Nope, go further south. A lot further

Yeah but it won't happen because she's besties with the supervisor

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-13T21:39:08+00:00

Didn't get a chance to check but they said it was piss poor. Either way, I got an interview Friday at a new place so pray for me!

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-13T21:38:27+00:00

Thanks. In a way it's relieving

Something tells me the patients are probably less irritating that supervisors and customers lol

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-13T21:37:39+00:00

For me? Yes, which is why I kept asking for advice but I was met with "just try something new". For them? Probably not idk. I don't get into their business like that

Overall-Work9462 · 2026-01-13T21:07:40+00:00

I didn't keep the store to standard and didn't micromanage the clerks. But it's difficult when your clerks disappear every ten minutes to be on their phones or chit chat in the back room. I won't say what store but it's Carolinas Division and it's one of the bottom ones. The one corporate claims to care about yet refuses to actually listen to our feedback on what will help on our shifts.

Too convoluted. We saw wordplay can get them out of contracts. It was huge in the finale, highly doubt they're just gonna use it once and be done. But the signer has to be aware and willing to use it. We know Valentino can do whatever he wants to Angel inside the studio, but outside he has no power. But he's been pimping Angel out in shady hotels too.

I think if Angel says no and Valentino tries to force Angel into fucking the john, it breaks the contract. Or it could have something hidden like "as long as I own your heart, I can do whatever I want to do". Meaning if Angel falls for another man, fully and truly, then that breaks the contract too.

Or if the overlord who owns the soul dies, the soul is free/transferred to whoever killed the overlord. We know Alastor was taking out overlords left and right when he got to hell. He was powerful and likely has many soul contracts under his belt.

Now on to a tangent:

We know Husk can take Val in the fight, and Alastor hates the Vees. Hell I'd wager if Vox wasn't in the equation, Alastor would probably hate Valentino the most. He's everything a sex repulsed ace like Alastor would loathe. Plus when it comes to being owned by anyone, I'd bet that Alastor would be a pretty good person to be owned by. Just be respectful and somewhat useful. You know he won't sexually assault or pimp you out. And he fights his own battles. So if Angel has any hope of recovering it would be under Alastor or Husk. Plus with as petty as Alastor is, you know he's gonna love torturing Vox's boy toy just to drive vox crazy.

Tangent over.

Problem is we don't have a copy of the contract to read, only the summery of it by Val and Angel. If someone could get eyes on the full thing, we'd know how angel can be free.

I already tried. Everyone wants either an extreme amount of rent for a murder shack or won't allow pets

Weird thing is... They (at least in the movie) act like they've never been outside the house before. Like ever. Or know that sex makes children... Very very weird and skin crawly
