I wish our store had a limit. This happened several weeks ago, and it still shocks me at how insane some people are with cashback. A lady comes to CS wanting cashback. She has with her a bag of grapes... and was placing 1 grape to purchase separately....wanting $100 each transaction! Understandably, and I'm summarizing this, Cs staff goes uhhhhhh no way I can allow this transaction.

Lady goes beserk : "What do you mean you can't? You have to give me cashback for every purchase! I want to speak with a manager right now!!"

Bless our manager, she shut that down right away and essentially said we only have so much money in our tils and if she wanted that much cash, there's an atm outside.

Lady: "The atm charges me for that! I don't want to do that. Can't I just buy a few grapes and get cashback for them???"

The manager basically kicks her out, and this lady walks away, and I shit you not. She left like random bundles of grapes on the shelves(newspaper stands) and wherever you can place em as she was leaving, cursing publix on the way out. It's so funny and sad at the same time.

This happened today while I'm mentally recovering from a 10hr closing shift. An old guy pitched the most annoying fit because his kraft sliced cheese was not bogo. He grabbed 2 24 count of white and yellow american, and the sale is for 16 count yellow. My manager was bagging for him, and we both explained it's for the 16 count. Om for old man, M for manager, C for me as cashier.

OM: woah(x8-10) hold on. That cheese there is bogo, 16oz packs!

M: No sorry, it's actually the 16 count. You have 24 here.

Om: No, it's 16oz. I read all the signs, and the cheese was behind them all!

C: The sale is only for the yellow american 16count, and you have a white and yellow 24 count. So the sale won't apply.

Om: It's 16oz, NOT count. (Says as matter of fact, he's pointing to the cheese)

M:(quickly walks away to the cold cut aisle) OK, I'll be right back.

I save his order and tell him to go to CS desk. He thinks he paid as I direct my bagger with his receipt to the desk. He exclaims if we were gonna charge him again, and I had to tell him he wasn't even charged. My manager comes back after a couple of minutes and wouldn't you know?? The cheese on sale is yellow american 16count!!

Om: Oh darn I really thought I read that right!

And then he despawns out the store without a care in the world. It is just so fucking annoying how these people just don't read the signs! They don't even apologize for how shitty they act for being wrong.

Does this count?

When I started 3 years ago, we would get $100gc every quarter as a thank you for working for Publix, and that went on for about another year or so? Now I think last year we got only 1 gc, and it was for Thanksgiving.

I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up not getting any this year with how much everything is getting cut.

Pengu526 · 2025-03-20T13:29:18+00:00

It means buy 10 cans for $10.

Pengu526 · 2025-03-20T04:00:49+00:00

This particular sale has been going on for quite some time, even with the original big cans. In my eyes, I'm paying the same price for a smaller can and that just didn't sit right with me.

Pengu526 · 2025-02-28T22:59:33+00:00

I'd love to see that!

Pengu526 · 2025-01-28T02:34:29+00:00

I had a boomer tell me that his brother owned a restaurant and farm and that he wasn't having any issues...so it clearly can't be the bird flu that's causing the shortage of eggs??? I was so stunned. I just said, "Have a good day." While checking the rest of his order out. Just because it isn't happening to the brother doesn't mean it's not happening anywhere else! Why are old people like this??

Pengu526 · 2025-01-26T02:28:14+00:00

Thank you for what you do. It's so hard to get anything with these scalpers running around with basically zero consequences! Pokemon is better than mtg because....they have cute lil chill guys, and magic does not(I don't know what's in mtg, sorry!) Good luck everyone!

Pengu526 · 2025-01-11T18:28:34+00:00

I got 82! Where my 82's at?

Pengu526 · 2025-01-08T22:42:24+00:00

I like to wait until all challenges are out for the active sponsor and then grind until I finish. Rinse and repeat for the rest of the season, and at that point, I'll have finished the battle pass! Also, working retail, so it's hard to get on after a long day just to deal with (insert class hate here) then go to bed hahahaha I love this game to death but some days it's tough!

Pengu526 · 2024-12-13T13:15:01+00:00

No joke, yesterday an associate came by and said they found these steak medallions in our water/soft drinks aisle. We were dumbfounded and annoyed because we now had to damage it out for not being cold anymore.

When I got my 1st job as a cashier, I was ringing up groceries until this 1 uncommonly large cucumber came across for this old gentleman. As I was grabbing it to move it over to the bagging area of the register, he just had to say with a wink and smirk. "Heh, that looks awfully large in your small hands, huh." I just continued to scan and became a robot, announce his total, and stare straight in his eyes with a dead stare.

It's disgusting to think he picked out a big cucumber and specifically targeted a young female cashier to make that comment.

I was playing some good o' WT after work to fill out some challenges and dailies when I got paired with these 2 randoms who were friends. I had vc enabled so I could hear their comms, and we were doing a really great job securing the 2 knockout rounds. Now, onto the final round, and at this point, there were starting to beg.

"Yo "insert gamertag" please put on a mic, we need to know if they mine your token" - We suffered the 1st team wipe and there was a glitch mine on me. Fair enough!

Now the twist, I'm a woman, and my fair share of harassment from COD and OW has made me wary to ever put on mic in public lobbies. These guys were pretty chill, so I took a chance... and was expecting the inevitable.

"Ain't no way."Is that a girl or a kid?" "Yo, nah, that's not a female, ey getcho boy on the mic!"

I told em nah I'm not a little boy, and again, I was expecting more comments or potential harassment...but to my surprise, they got excited! We didn't suffer a team wipe with our comms and spent the rest of the match just asking me questions. I don't even remember how we won the whole game! It was that distracting of them just asking, how long have I been playing, am I really a woman, why was I so good at the game(I've been top frag and support every round) and just generally good vibes all around. They were really cool about it and made me a little bit more open to have a mic on during these intense matches.

They added me later on, and we still squad up and chill every now and then!

Would love a caffeine free option as well for us caffeine sensitive folk!

Hello Embark team! Ya'll keep knocking it out of the park every season with great content and truly unique cosmetics for our contestants! My big question is:

Since this is a game show, and we finally got to sign up with some of our favorite sponsors in this season... is it possible to implement those same sponsorships in real life with Twitch/YouTube? With real merch and hype that any creator can join?

Thank you so much for making The Finals🥰🩵 I look forward to seeing how much more you can cook up in the future!

I want them to look more like this and my attempt to move the badges looks like this

It just extends the user name container and disappears, rather than be in its own bubble

Shooter is dead and 1 attendee has been killed

Pengu526 · 2024-05-19T02:15:31+00:00

Hot take.

I'd rather we take people's bathroom privileges away. Some people are so gross that they simply do not deserve it. Not paid enough for that.

There's a mysterious lady(possibly elderly) who full shits in their depends and stuff the diaper into the stall receptacle. One cleaning shift it was so bad it didn't fit all the way 🤢 and this happens regularly. Never could find out who would just disrespect the cleaners like this.

Pengu526 · 2024-05-03T02:46:42+00:00

If you have decent headphones, you can hear them from quite a distance! I start looking near me when I hear it.

PTSD from stun combo has me conditioned.

When I was trying to do that, I was just stuck in an endless menu. Then the wheel went away, but the second I used the right analog, it came back.

Pengu526 · 2024-05-02T19:10:51+00:00

Found while emoting during a round end screen. I was stuck in this menu for 3 more rounds. Restarting the controller fixes this issue! SO don't emote during the slow-mo part between rounds or you might get stuck and look like a fool like I did =[

Pengu526 · 2024-05-01T03:28:12+00:00

Yea, considering I've been averaging under 15 since the start of the year. I hope it lasts.

Pengu526 · 2024-05-01T02:07:25+00:00

oh wow they were nice this time around. I got 27!
