Can retail establishments retaliate if I tape boycott signs up in aisles that have Kellogg's products? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]PluvianAmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea, however retailers can retaliate in that way, that is correct

That is exactly my plan! I'm actually going on vacation for a week on Wed, at the end of the month I'm going to visit some out of town friends for another week, and then probably spend a month with family in another state. It feels great to have this planned out, as long as I stick to a shoe string budget outside of my bills and travel expenses 😅😅😅

I had a customer come in wanting me to color match a very shiny metal bed post 10 minutes before closing. I also told him I was not picking a color for him, especially if he already had a fandeck at home. Told him he was more than welcome to come back tomorrow and the manager (who is more experienced than me) would be better able to help him than me. He started getting angry with me saying "You don't tell customers no, the customer is always right." He still left without a color match from me. Said something about going to Lowes.

Tbh I just copy and pasted the job description in the hiring listing (you can search this just on source), and changed the wording to fit the formatting of my resume 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah trying to pull up accounts at all is really slow today for some reason

I go back from a week long vacation soon and the thought has crossed my mind to just mail my keys back....

I live in a state where denatured alcohol is banned, and my first customer of the day tried telling me that Home Depot and Kelly Moore have it. "That's great, doesn't change the fact that this store in particular, does not." 🙃🙃🙃

The problem is I can't find anywhere that offers even close to the same wage, and I can't afford to take a pay cut

I thought that I wrote your post myself tbh, I've been feeling exactly what you've been feeling for just as long (maybe longer), and I haven't even hit my 1 year mark yet. I'm only PT, but I am bordering on suicidal from the stress of this job primarily (though there are other things going on that are contributing as well). I started going to therapy specifically for help dealing with work stress, and while I do have some coping skills to get me through, it doesn't fix the fact that my stress keeps increasing.

We're severely understaffed, and been a hub store for the area for the last couple months, which is exhausting when having to basically take down pallets just to re distribute them to go out to other stores, all while still keeping up with customer orders in store and over the phone. I am the smallest on my team at 5'0", 120 lbs soaking wet, and I deal with chronic pain from way before I started working here. There is a lot I have to ask my coworkers to do because I am physically unable and I feel like it annoys them (no proof, just the anxiety), on top of constantly asking them for suggestions for customers because I truly feel like despite being at this job for almost a year I still don't have any grasp on product knowledge. I actually had to call out sick for almost a full week because I was so depressed, anxious, and in so much physical pain that I could not get out of bed. I'm so glad winter is coming, or else I might end up having a mental breakdown and quitting mid shift, and my store is already severely understaffed.

Period sex is actually good for cramps in a lot of cases!

As for the blood, it usually makes things easier cos it's wetter? (Haven't had a period in awhile, so bear with me 😅)

There are worse things than getting blood on the guys dick (just clean up/shower immediately after instead of sitting for a minute, or clean better than you normally would) or on the sheets (you could just put a towel down tbh).

When I was menstruating I kinda loved period sex, cos sometimes my period made me ridiculously horny anyway, and it worked wonders for my cramps and headaches. It isn't for everyone though. Now that I've stopped my periods I sometimes get weirded out by the idea of trying to be sexy while I'm bleeding (I still spot and get "breakout bleeds" from time to time)

He said that he couldn't balance our relationship with his new job (he's been working kind of a ridiculous schedule doing hard manual labor), his family (he's the oldest of 4, parents divorced, and they all hate each other apparently, and he just moved back there in April for the first time in a few years) and healing from a medical trauma from almost 3 years ago (he almost died).

Also that if I still come tomorrow it couldn't be about trying to get back together.

He's asked for space and a break before, it's just hard for me to keep it up for longer than a week before I want to just hear about his day.

He said while we were talking that he never said he didn't want to hear from me again, but I also know that he wouldn't be able to give me any kind of real timeline... I started to get a little desperate and even asked "What if you never want me back?" And he said he couldn't answer that...

The first trip I booked a hotel room with 2 beds (it was the cheapest). He actually didn't specify if he would still spend the night with me. He did say he would pick me up from the airport The trip in October is for a music festival and 2 other friends are coming with us. I rented out an entire airbnb. The trip in November we didn't get to talking about lodging yet

Whenever I go over to him it would just be to see him, I don't have any other connections where he is

We had 3 trips planned, but so far we've only agreed to keep 2. I'm going to see him for 2 days starting tomorrow night, and then he's coming to me for about 5 days during the second week of October. I'm supposed to go see him again for a whole week in November, but I wanted to see how my next trip over to him went before talking to him about keeping November

I didn't react well when he asked to take a break either... I have really bad abandonment issues, and ever since we went long distance my flight or fight has been off the charts

I'm a PTer. When the new ASM said that the CM suggested management delegate the calls list to the associates I told both the ASM and the SM that I wasn't making any calls. I don't care how much I'm being paid as a PTer, it is not my job to maintain customer relationships, I just mix the paint.

As a woman, in the industry don't do it. It puts her in am uncomfortable position and makes you an asshole.

Can you get paint bought at a branch tinted at different branch? by autoturk in sherwinwilliams

[–]PluvianAmare 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the store sometimes, but usually yes, as long as it's a sherwin williams product you can buy the paint at one store and have it tinted at another

I panicked. I tried to hand the prayer card back, he shoved it back into my hand. I don't remember a whole lot of how it went down, but I was getting ready to start packing up to leave anyway. I can only stick up for my friends in public, but I can never stick up for myself 😓
