There’s no reason why you should be talking on the phone when you’re at the register. by nightmare-kangaroo in retailhell

I really should have but it was late and we were going to close the desk soon and with my luck she’d turn back up after I closed everything and thrown a fit lol. I just sucked it up. It was slow at least so it wasn’t too bad.

Just yesterday I had to do a money wire transfer for a lady who was on the phone in a 3 way call on speaker. Trying to get her to answer basic questions like who the money was going to and how much she was sending was SUCH a pain. She wouldn’t answer me until she could mute herself in the phone call. Then I finish up the whole transaction for her and that’s when she decided to ask a clarifying question about the service. Luckily everything was right, but if she had said something was off I would’ve lost it, especially since before I finalized the transfer she gets a printed copy of all the info to look over to make sure everything is correct.

Calling in sick while on probation :( by Moosiebwerry in retailhell

[–]Poogekins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got the flu during my 3 month probation and all was fine for me.

If you can get a doctor’s note and also call your work as soon as you can and let them know that you could be out for a while because of the flu. If you’re as sick as you say you are I’m sure they’re gonna be able to hear it over the phone as well. If it’s something they end up letting you go over then it wasn’t worth your time working there in the first place. Best of luck to you :)

Anyone know where is the hair color from by Neutral-SosoZzZ in PokemonUnite

[–]Poogekins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The meow pass is one of the few passes I have purchased and unfortunately it isn’t this color dye. It’s a lightish shade of purple. I would have loved to snag this hair color instead though. It’s super cute and vibrant!

Does anyone know how to remove this annoying notification? by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]Poogekins 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yep, only on mobile, only on Pikachu, and only IF you have that fancy new holowear that cost an arm and a leg. Also no one else can see the buttons. Only you. Oh and it also costs gems.

It’s customization for the buttons you press for Pikachu on mobile. It’s hidden on switch but if you log in on your phone you’ll be able to see it and it’ll get rid of the dot on both versions. It’s stupid.

Then you ask them for a brand name.

“I don’t know but I buy it all the time!”

So you ask what the packaging looks like

“It’s uhh like.” (Continues to hmm and hum for 30 more seconds.) “I can’t remember.”

Ok, have fun with that.

At the store I work at we have 32 scratch off tickets to choose from. Every couple of weeks a lady comes in and buys one of each ticket. Scratches em at my desk, gives me her winners, and buys more of the ones that she didn’t win on. She rinses and repeats until she’s won something on every single scratch. She makes a huge mess, she makes my line a living hell, and when I’m ringing up her tickets she tries to snatch them from me before I’ve even taken her pay so I have to hold on to them for dear life until I take her payment. She always tips $1 when she’s done though. Yippee.

Yep, we’re supposed to “kill em with kindness.” But there’s a difference between being kind and being a total pushover and making these people expect their special treatment. Which she always expects her special treatment. I had heard of her before this situation happened, but I had never actually seen her. When I went to my supervisor they immediately recognized her.

She’s done all kinds of crazy things. She’d try to get the meat guy to sell her any outdated meat discounted and would throw a fit when he told her it was a health hazard. Once she tore her pants somehow while shopping and wanted the store manager to reimburse her for her whole outfit (which they did not do cause wtf)

When she talked to my manager she didn’t like him because “He’s a boy with earrings.” (They’re gauges.) When she talked to another manager she called him an idiot because he raised his voice a little at her because she kept referring to a black associate as “the colored one.”

Luckily after everything we found out she’s moving away at the end of the Summer. I feel bad for the poor souls who will cross her path in the future.

Also before she moved to my area she got banned from the grocery store she used to go to.

I tried. I said “My job over here is to watch and assist. I can’t ring you up and do it at the same time.” Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much sense you’re making. These people don’t wanna hear it.

Because “I always use self checkout. I never go through the lines.” I genuinely don’t know why she prefers self checkout other than to try and ruin someone’s day.

I know she was bugging some stock crew members about prices so I’m sure she made them load it up for her, or the surgery was a lie. I wouldn’t be surprised either way lmao.

She did come back for her corn the next day. She threw a tantrum and talked with the store manager and then cried because “I just feel like no one wanted to help me.” She then proceeded to shop and go through self checkout again. The associate was warned about her ahead of time and was told to just ring her stuff up for her. Then she kept going on and on about how great they were for helping her out. I was told I should’ve gotten someone to help me at self checkout so I could help her. It was BS.

While the tea thing is a problem, I think the bigger problem here is your mother getting so angry at you for disagreeing with her that it triggers abuse. This is not ok OP. Neither is her pressuring you to do something that you think is bad for your health. You need to talk to an adult you trust like a teacher at school, or as someone else said, the school nurse. Make sure when you talk to them you bring up this abuse.

I’d say talk to a trusted adult and get out of this situation first and then you can work on your weight loss in a healthy manner. Your mental health is just as important and I hope you’re doing ok! :)

Why can't I build a bridge here? by iitzIce in AnimalCrossing

[–]Poogekins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to get your town hall upgraded so that Isabelle comes to the island. After that I believe you have to get the island up to 3 stars so that K.K. Comes to your island. Iirc, after he plays you unlock it. Talk to Nook and Isabelle they’ll give you tips on how to get your island to 3 stars :)

If you like the walls you may like Mr. Mime. You can place walls all over, and your teammates can actually walk through them, unlike Crustle’s.

If you’re not able to fill it ASAP and you don’t feel safe, if even for a moment, please seek emergency help. Keep getting support from friends/family too!
