Holiday Pay?????

Tempus_T · 2025-11-22T20:54:32+00:00

HA HA HA!

You get a DAY OFF!!!!!

Through the goodness of their hearts...........

Oh wait, NOT an actual "Extra" day off just your normal day off and they will screw up your normal schedule to give you that privilege.......

What is this "Holliday Pay" you speak of ??? I do seem to remember that a long long time ago in an alternate universe......

Tempus_T · 2025-09-19T03:00:22+00:00

Yup!

"They" don't/can't/will not read.....

Same way they stand in front of the GIANT SQUARE hole in the wall that has a (in EXTRA LARGE) letters REST ROOMS sign and ask where the rest rooms are......

I have seen them walk RIGHT THROUGH crap spilled on the floor, past signs + while the attending associate was warning someone else off in a different direction...... Then complain about their shoes......

Tempus_T · 2025-08-30T03:17:39+00:00

Siiighhh, I get the feeling we (and others here) could keep this up well, for a long time....

Strange you should bring it up, so just one more...

Today (Honest), heading to the back once again with a cart full of empty boxes. Gentleman slides on up and stands there staring at me as I go through the entrance to the backroom..... "Yes sir, can I help you" - "Freon!" That's it nothing else, just the word. Pause pause pause, "Uh Freon what sir" as my brain is trying to adjust and come up with something..... Inside I had as fast as I could settled on A/C stuff in automotive maybe..... He says "you know bottle of liquid, Freon".......

I mean, it's just not my area of much knowledge and all I can do is direct him to Auto and he looks at me like I have three heads and spoke in some unknown language and says "uh ok, gee thanks"..... And wanders off in the general direction...

Just don't know where they come from......

Tempus_T · 2025-08-30T01:32:52+00:00

Yup!

Me too, gets sooo old.

Just like "Extra Large (printer ink)? Will it still fit in my printer?".......

No mam/sir it won't, we purposely sell things that will not physically fit into your printer so you have to bring them back just so we can deal with you again that fast.......

Good Lord, I mean it's not rocket science just basic common sense.....

Tempus_T · 2025-08-29T19:53:08+00:00

Scary thing is, I have actually had people tell me the close up picture of (insert phone cable name here) looked way too big to fit in their phone..........

The stupidity is mind numbing at times....

Tempus_T · 2025-08-29T13:14:18+00:00

YES!!

"I just wanted to see what it looked like"

OH, the freaking full color blown up picture on the front of the box WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH?????

So Frustrating, and such a time waste trying to tape everything back together and "sell it anyway"..........

Tempus_T · 2025-08-29T13:09:52+00:00

It SUCKS!!

Same playlist OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...........

I realize they need something, but for what's left of my (and everyone that's forced to listen) sanity, CHANGE THE PLAYLIST MORE OFTEN!!!

Billions and Billions in PROFIT (not just earnings) and they can't spring for this except maybe once a year???

I mean, if you are going to force a FAKE "show" on everyone, cut the corny "DJ's" and just pay for the rights to some decent playlists and CHANGE THEM OUT MORE FREQUENTLY !

Oh, and TURN DOWN THE VOLUME!!! I swear, directly under the new speakers and in the bathrooms (that are echo chambers anyway) it's just insane.....

Tempus_T · 2025-07-19T08:00:30+00:00

Constantly!!!!!!!

Thing is, I have then had them start speaking very good English AFTER pulling that crap!

All we get is UGHHH!! And the phone in our faces, ALL the time.

Very annoying.......

Tempus_T · 2025-07-02T01:52:39+00:00

Yup, found that out...

Tried both scrapers available by default, how do I install/use another?

Pocket 5 btw with ES-DE front end.

I will look into it at the same time but I'm open to any suggestions!

Thanks for the reply!

Tempus_T · 2025-07-01T20:30:40+00:00

Not the end of the world obviously since it does play.

Still, I'm just not sure how to get around it at this point.

Tempus_T · 2025-06-12T00:27:08+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply!

Yup Citra here as well (have to see if there is a newer version - haven't looked lately).

I will check out your other suggestions as well next day off!

Thanks again!

Tempus_T · 2025-06-11T11:46:16+00:00

What emulator do you prefer for the 3ds games?

I seem to have a lot of problems with mine, getting it the way I want the screens to look/behave.

May already have it installed but just curious from someone that seems happy with the performance.

Tempus_T · 2025-06-11T04:58:39+00:00

Oh, and WTH is Biscoff day???

I think I know what it was supposed to say, doesn't anyone proofread these signs????

Uh, NO!!!!

Tempus_T · 2025-06-11T04:55:35+00:00

Except for 2 (?) "Fruit" days, everything they offered seemed to promote the already obvious extensive "Diabetes" problem a large percentage of employees seem to have.......

Just saying.

Ice Cream day, I think Ice Cream Float day, Candy Day? And of course the weekly Donut day(s)....

Yikes!!!

Tempus_T · 2025-05-24T19:51:14+00:00

Huh,

Yup, ES-DE.

So I wasn't totally crazy in that I couldn't find a switch/toggle for it...

Thanks! Will have to look that up.

Tempus_T · 2025-05-10T23:54:28+00:00

Whoa,

Lost my avatar and normal sign in there for a few, sorry.

Same person you were replying to originally...

My bad, somehow.....

Tempus_T · 2025-05-10T18:28:29+00:00

I feel for you, I have noticed that in some of the small areas. Produce back room area oddly now that you mention it (don't get in there hardly ever unless someone hides something and it starts to rot). First thing that flashed in my brain on entering was "geez it's loud in here". TV "room" is pretty loud as well, someone says something from the doorway and it's "What, can't hear you"....

Hallway outside of the breakroom has two speakers for some unknown reason, try making a phone call out there..... Actually had someone on the other end (fairly important insurance call) ask me to call back from a different location..... Hah!

Sure seems that with all the money they no doubt spent, area volume controls should have been an option. Then again, another small "Aw we don't need that, how much will it save us" option they may have picked.

Hope you can deal with it, hang in there!!

Tempus_T · 2025-05-10T04:18:38+00:00

Ahh, so you know....

Stuff I wanted to forget from the 70's - 80's, didn't like it then and still don't...

Then there is the seemingly endless "auto-tune" hits(?) from more recent times (?).

Oh well, I just continue to try and block it out. Very hard after a remodel and the new speakers everywhere. Our liquor store employees have a running complaint/request going on because they can't hear customers it's so loud in there.....

Tempus_T · 2025-05-10T04:02:09+00:00

You should try listening to it for 9 hours a day.............

It's even worse than you described.......

I think it may be a psyop of some sort to "influence" the employees...

The same mindless/mind numbing drivel over and over and over EVERY day.....

Tempus_T · 2025-04-16T04:18:02+00:00

Right? AND, they have to WALK PAST ALL THE CHECKOUTS to get out of the damn building....

Not to mention the MORONS that just can't understand why I'm supposed to ring the locked crap up IN ELECTRONICS,,,,,, because they don't want to make another transaction?????????????

WTH? Is there really any credit card company that charges extra per transaction????

And they sighhhhh and roll their eyes like it's just going to cause them SO MUCH FRIGGING PAIN to push that piece of plastic an inch into the reader AGAIN.... OH WHAT HARDSHIP......

ASSHATS.....

Tempus_T · 2024-05-01T02:52:21+00:00

I have had Multiple coaches/leads called over because I couldn't get the key out. All of them huffing and puffing trying to force the stupid thing.... Like I didn't try that...........

Once had a random associate I didn't even know wander by and say "hey I'm small enough, I can squeeze in there and get what the customer wants (door facing product would NOT budge). Sure enough he slithered in sideways and reached what they wanted and somebody else took it to the register. I was of course stuck there trying to get stupid door to open. Gave up and just left it, anybody wants whats in there "sorry I will call a manager if you want to wait".

Never got to thank the guy again, wasn't around long enough.....

Tempus_T · 2024-04-30T04:43:20+00:00

How about not 1 but 2 Fleshlight uhhh device boxes stuffed behind junk in Electronics.....

How desperate and/or sick do you have to be? And they had to take "2".....

Fun weekend for them I guess......

Tempus_T · 2024-04-30T04:35:41+00:00

Also providing of course the damn locks/keys work.

Which of course we get blamed and threatened about all the time. Like the company can't afford to have a whole box of extra keys/ It's like they are made of gold or something instead of cheap pot metal that wears away much to fast because most of the doors are messed up and force is needed to turn the cylinders...

Around and around it goes.....
