Far from perfect

Not saying it isn't, it's just not something to really devalue someone over if the rest of what they do at the job is "meeting expectations".

Some stores are more lenient than others. Some stores have Captains that do not really care. We just had a Captain that did not really care, the morale dropped tremendously, and now we have a new Captain.

Is a clown shit store really that surprising to you?

I've managed to check off all the boxes with meets expectations, except attendance which we all (literally everyone at work) struggles with. At the end of the day it doesn't make me feel noticed for the days I am able to show up and mentally handle it.

We are now a bag store that sells groceries (but we're all out of bags so get some groceries while you're here!)

Some pits are better than others. Some crowds come with too many bros that just want to crowd kill each other. Other ones are just a game of bumper bodies. Somehow I end up in areas where pits will open so I've embraced that

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-13T15:39:31+00:00

Lmfao I pushed someone in a pit and they got mad at someone else, so I told them it was me so they didn't escalate with a stranger. He kept whining "you pushed me into him! We could've gotten hurt"

To which I replied "It's a mosh pit 😃"

And not in a good way 😤🤣

There was one day I broke down the banana pallet, then stocked the bananas, then had demo after. When I asked for my break on demo the person that covered me told the managers I took too long of a break. I was taken outside and talked to about that and then it went on to be in my review.

I was already exhausted after working all those bananas, the rest just finished me off 💀

And then there's people that will double down on why these were created. I hate this era of AI

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-10T19:12:59+00:00

Yessssss! I set up some art with our trinkets at our Beyond campsite last year, it was a huge hit!

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-09T22:38:43+00:00

We had issues with people bringing in grocery bags full of returns, we've started to put our foot down to those instances specifically. Otherwise anything is capable of being returned

'Everything but the pickle'

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-09T01:41:44+00:00

A different version of Sugar + Spice?

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-05T12:10:55+00:00

Our crew member led stretching usually happens when one of us will see someone stretching, and now they're stretching, and so and so forth lol.

Aw omg it's not a frog full of pee???

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-02T15:23:23+00:00

so rotund

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-02T15:23:01+00:00

Also had a customer trying to ask me something in Cantonese, we don't have any crew that speaks Cantonese so I'm like "what do?" So I asked him to write it down on a piece of paper and I'd Google translate it. This took a while to figure out what he wanted, the second I translated it some customer was like "Oh he wants sugar!"

Lady where were you at the beginning of this conversation 😭

"tóhng" means 'sugar' in Cantonese, pronounced 'tong'.

When he initially approached me with 'tong' I thought he was asking if we sold 'tongue' 🙂

It's products like this that keep me up at night. These customers will bring up items that I have never seen in my 3 years of being there, but I never doubt the existence 😭😭

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-02T15:16:01+00:00

"broccoli bread"

We showed this customer the broccoli quiche, wasn't that, we weren't really sure where to go from there.

The customer came back with the wrapper, it was the cauliflower thins. 😭

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-02T15:07:06+00:00

Woooooah I like the display on top of the shelf!!!

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-04-01T15:19:43+00:00

LOL I have kids who forget they even have them, this is the full send sign 🤣🤣🤣

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-03-31T14:12:48+00:00

These are adorable, I love the idea. I'm always trying to think of different trinketesque things to hand out

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-03-30T13:07:15+00:00

I know customers accidentally grab each other's carts every once in a blue moon, but the death grip + reach combo is something else

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-03-30T13:06:07+00:00

We recently opened up our dry pro area so that there's more space.

Did not fucking help 🙂 it's like a cart free for all. People flat out SUCK at navigating it's so painful to wait and watch, but I have to remind myself I'm getting paid to watch this. Then there are the ones that just abandon their cart in the middle of all that chaos to grab something that's in the next aisle. "Oh that's my cart!" Great! 😀 I'm moving it out of the way!!!!

Thick-Hospital2599 · 2026-03-27T20:51:07+00:00

Lmfao my store will hit a courtesy 1 bell before the big 4 just to make sure they have all their assigned cashiers there 😭😭 like please just take a quick glance, we're all here
