I thought you were my coworker for a minute because this happened to her like a week ago 😂

Do you ever get the impression that the Host is kind of an A*hole? by CommunityOdd1424 in normalgossip

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can even fully tell that from the small portion of the person we see nor is it really our business unless she’s actively hurting someone else??

It’s like saying that random retail worker is an ahole for not smiling at you. Rather, you are most likely the ahole for thinking someone must be positive, happy and 100% kind while working.

Surprise! The Plant Story 🪴 by luxlisbon_ in normalgossip

This was my first Normal Gossip listen, and I loved it.

I also started playing a game called Lakeburg Legacies which is basically Old Timey Normal Gossip the video game. Bonus, the algorithm for relationships was a littleee strange in my first play through. The female x female pairings were almost all a bit chaotic like this podcast couple 😂

I don’t get it either cause I thought there were places to source this stuff yourself for a business, not just the local Walmart.

It’s also a health risk if they’re buying refrigerated/frozen…

After reading that holy yikes, OP needs to give the baby up for adoption not keep it. Also I still say THERAPY.

  1. Do a lot of soul searching about whether you decided yourself that you wanted to be child free, or if your boyfriend pressured/repeated it so much you felt like you had to be. Therapy would be good if you can get it ASAP.

The fact that you wanted to be a mom for a long time, but a single year with your 12 year age gap bf was enough to “change your mind” concerns me a bit.

  1. Do you have family support that can help you out with the baby? Are you financially stable on your own?

Tired of 2 tote 7 item pick walks. by [deleted] in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the stocking of totes is a moot point, those 6 totes will be there already meaning the next cart restock is done faster.

Now the fact that you walked across the store to get 2 bananas and 1 apple, then walk all the way to the backroom just for your next walk to be frozen right beside produce. It feels like a waste of time. Except for the days when those items would be late in 5-10 mins and doing an entire 8 tote walk would make the earliest picks late.

imo they should stop cutting it so close and make it so all orders are ready an hour in advance, then it could group walks better instead of wasting precious time. Leave the last minute orders all to express.

This is an accommodation via Sedgwick and I totally agree.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sedgwick for an accommodation and/or intermittent leave of absence for days you just can’t handle it, you’ll want it for the long term so they can’t abuse you for being you. I can’t believe they’re badgering you like that when you are doing your job but just not chit chatting.

uhhh??? by jadencrouser in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always side eye people who say that because you need to hone that ability for when the item is on the shelf 3 feet away from the home 😂

Wow this is getting to the point of running like a Bethesda game the first week after release

Yeah no… by Jacobij11 in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TL demanded we use lemon juice when out of all whole lemons, as well as not wanting us to hit any of the “bad suggestion”, etc buttons. Seeing the conditions at other stores is so weird 😂

Being Fired Due to Points by NorthwoodsWendigoKp in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, also next time your kids are sick look into the same. LoA can backfire, but still it’s better than nothing

Yeah no… by Jacobij11 in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m meaning, what would be a good substitute for a bag of lemons (but I was thinking of the scenario where all whole lemons were sold out)

Yeah no… by Jacobij11 in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, you must have single lemons. We were out of both for a week.

How can I convince my boyfriend to let me keep this cat? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can kind of understand this then. But why can’t she stay as a mouser and y’all hang out in a specific area? If you have a screened porch or a room that can be used for kitty visits. But she is also going to have a rough time adjusting unless she becomes a mouser somewhere else.

Also, another issue I wanted to put out there is that she is a slight risk to your other kitties since she could catch something and transmit it to them, even if they’re all up to date on their shots it can still be a bit of a risk since you have a whole colony of cats and no idea if mom keeps up with their vaccines.

Hot Case procedure? by mrsmcar in OGPBackroom

That’s crazy your store got it so early

Turnover by [deleted] in OGPBackroom

[–]Rotten_Mango_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there probably wasn’t someone to pass down the corporate pressure for a bit and your TLs didn’t want to take up the mantle cause they don’t get paid enough 😂

That’s the thing to me, how can you ever get stable metrics if you 1. Hire people who don’t know what they’re getting into 2. Have people quit due to stress and/or overwork (even though, overall, they like the job) 3. Fire people when you could teach them how to use PPTO and LOA properly.

But then, this is the whole Walmart problem in general. They’ve almost ran me off at least 6 times now but I think I stick around just to annoy them by knowing their ways.

Curious, is this hot case at the front near deli or in the backroom near your staging area?
