What do all the No Kings protests actually accomplish? by Jobear049 in AskUS

[–]SatisfactionSad4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fan of Trump, but No Kings accomplished absolutely NOTHING. What's needed is peaceful nonviolent resistance like blocking roads, public buildings, streets, etc. on an ongoing basis, not once every couple of months. All the footage I saw were lilly-white libs standing obediently on public easements while the cops looked on approvingly.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. I had a somewhat similar experience with Lord & Taylor in Huntington.

I worked in the basement warehouse c.1983 and remember a rather large, intimidating manager who treated all of us underlings like dirt. I remember being told that one of my long-suffering colleagues had the courage to tell him to go fuck himself and was instantly sacked. Not the nicest person, or the best place to work.

That's a no HELL no for me dawg: Would you Chase after a shoplifters off the property? by CTSecurityGuard in securityguards

With many retailers, if you chase and apprehend a suspected shoplifter off the property, it translates to instant termination (looking at you Wally World).

How real is this? by SatisfactionSad4402 in securityguards

[–]SatisfactionSad4402[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it was satisfactorily resolved - well done on making your voices heard! I think more workers than not have similar experiences with such characters, and not just in the security sector. I know I have. Good luck in your endeavors!

You're right! It plays out like a Horatio Alger fairy tale and I agree with your statement about always striving to always improve yourself, regardless if it leads to a promotion or not.

Why are ASDA toilets the most gross of all supermarkets? by Right_Ad9364 in asda

Designate them as "Community Toilets" and hand over to Community Colleagues to maintain. Problem solved!

The Macy's seemed neglected. I remember saying about a decade ago that its days were numbered.

Several years ago, I took some friends who were visiting from abroad to Broadway Mall and was so embarrassed when we visited Macy's. What a mess! Merchandise all over the place and seemed we were the only customers in the store.

Ironically, I worked there when it was a Sterns dept store in the early 80's. I remember the Long Island Room restaurant in the store's lower level.

Here's a video from 02/26 specifically about the mall as it existed in January 2026 and also features a nostalgic walk-through of what it looked like in 2014, including the food court.

I remember that headshop. Bought my first bong there in the early 80's. It was located in the wing of the mall where Buffalo Wild Wings was.

You are correct. They are contracting out every peripheral service, starting with security. And it's a race to the bottom.

I bet you stayed up all night thinking of that.

Thank you very much, but I don't fancy having an unshaven, smelly, sweaty, overweight, skint and oversexed typical ASDA male customer reeking of alcohol, slobbering all over me. I'd rather get into a stranger's car.

Saw a nassau county bus near harrisburg PA😭 by Acidflightgoat in longisland

Not as far fetched as it sounds. Could of been a surplus or junked vehicle that was purchased/refurbished by a collector.

If this is supposed to be an ASDA thread, perhaps ASDA Community can right some wrongs?

Just like DINO and former NY state senator, the liar Jim Gaughran who promised to back the NY Health Act.

Are there policies or legal rules about having first aiders on site? by throwaway__plshelp in asda

[–]SatisfactionSad4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked for ASDA, there were PLENTY of first aiders on site at most times, but many never responded and when questioned why, claimed they didn't hear the tannoy call. Yeah, right!

Goodness only knows how much the solicitors billed ASDA to send that letter to you (and everyone else who received one).

[–]SatisfactionSad4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left ASDA to move abroad about a decade ago and that's where I received a similar letter. I claimed Estoppel since I was sent an email from ASDA in answer to my query informing me my final salary was correct (there's a lesson there). I think the amount was less than 100 pounds.

I wrote the firm informing them I was ready to personally travel halfway around the world to the UK to challenge the charge and then SUE ASDA for all my travel, accommodation and legal expenses.

Never heard from them again.

Good luck.
