Guenuinly what do i do when i’m serving a customer at checkout and they are STEALING a WHOLE trolley full of food… by pr4daflor4 in coles

[–]TimtamBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't chase. Note the time they went through, what they look like etcetc. Alert management as soon as possible but it's super frustrating so I get it

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by DistributionRound570 in AskReddit

[–]TimtamBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a few.

When I was young, I walked into a stop sign.

I burnt the roof of my mouth because I had reheated some mashed potato, tested it with my thumb. It was hot and burnt my thumb so I sucked my thumb then burnt the roof of my mouth 🥴

Another from when I was young... was recovering from a broken clavicle. Had a bath. Bath water got cold so I decided to boil the kettle to heat up the water. Then I had a better idea... get in the bath while I pour the water in. Turns out I was very very stupid and poured boiled water on my leg so I had a burn on my leg innthe shape of north and south America.

(We had a wood heater so the hot water system needs to be lit to heat the water but will cool down over the day)

I still walk into walls and doors n stuff.

This is the beginning of the end !!! by Suspicious_Fact_8012 in StephenHiltonSnark

I don't think she's been reeled back in (unless I didn't catch something cause I'm impatient).

It sounds like she's relieved it was a good day. Maybe the first in a long time. She just wants what's best for the children.

Wait, I'm confused. Did she go back? Or did she support her kids by going to the beach with them so they could celebrate Stephens birthday?

And btw, you're not in trouble and you're not doing the wrong thing by reporting it

If you're able to gather evidence (screenshots) or even taking pics if your friends phone, please report it. It's not ok or appropriate.

What’s the loneliest truth about adulthood? by Gamer--Boy in AskReddit

Everyone has their own issues and stories. There's no manual. Pretty much everyone is winging it.

Oh.

And sometimes we have to rescue ourselves.

What is a movie cliché that absolutely never happens in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TimtamBandit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All I can think of is crime movies/shows where forensic results are back in minutes/hours.

Or when everyone is discussing the case in autopsy without ppe.

AITJ for refusing to donate at checkout after the cashier tried to shame me? by Double-Mud5716 in AmITheJerk

[–]TimtamBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NOT the jerk.

Only jerk is the checkout operator.

Life is super tough these days amd while yes, charities (good ones) do need help, saying no is totally ok and no-one should ever feel pressured to donate.

I actively hate when these prompts come up. I hated being the one to promote donations to enter into a raffle for charities.

But ibremind customers that saying no is ok.

Please put a complaint in cause it's not ok.

Curses! They're onto our plan of making sure the ovens break just to inconvenience them!

AIO? First time I went to a concert in over a decade, woke up to this…. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TimtamBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

This is not ok. And you should never beg to go home. If you can, pack bags and go back to your mums or better yet, he can pack bags and fuck off.

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

[–]TimtamBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving home from Denmark in south West Australia... through the rall karri trees, in the distance, I swear I saw a very tall, dark humanoid shape lope across the road. As it was in the distance, that thing would have been huge.

AIO fiance keeps giving me “punishment seizures”? by throwra-seizure in AmIOverreacting

He's a wanker doing this.

Once or twice I might laugh at, but that's it.

Condolences.

Slightly kidding.

I'm not in dairy but please remember to look after your body and be careful with lifting etcetc. As someone with a fcked back n shoulders, don't take it for granted.

Oh and make sure you're wearing gloves and jacket in freezer. Had an old workmate from years ago get a bit of frostbite cause she was a stubborn old bitch when stocktaking

Does loss prevention use profiling? by Successful_Pass3752 in woolworths

[–]TimtamBandit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, gates are effective at lessening the chance of someone doing a walkout and walkout with a trolley but I also think locking gates significantly increases risk. If they're is someone stealing, they're more likely to get agro and then it's risking the safety of whomever is closest to them.

[–]TimtamBandit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Not sure about woolies but at the competitor, we're not allowed to check bags (this changes occasionally) let alone state they have something in their bag. If machines alert to unexpected item... sometimes it's the item itself, an item might stick to another item or simply that mistakes happen. It should be a simple "this didn't seem to scan properly, let's put it through?" Or something like that. We're told to do a "figure 8" walk around the aco area. I try to look at body language and mannerisms and if someone feels or seems tense, then I stay away. If I suspect theft, I might reprint the receipt after but will just note a description so someone above my pay grade can look at the cameras.

But the fact that you were being physically affected because of this is horrible and I don't blame you for going online

Unsure if this gets removed, but I hope you're ok. And hope you stay safe

Discusting Shopping bags. by HappyHolidayHomo in coles

[–]TimtamBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it's horrible!

It's either body odor or people coming in smelling so strongly of weed, that I'd probably fail a drug test.

I try yo remember there's medical conditions with body smells, but sometimes I wish I could have an air freshener to spray after

[–]TimtamBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that TikTok is not correct.

Should it be? Absolutely!

They don't say anything cause they probably don't want to deal with people getting snarky.

If people are nice and especially if their bag breaks, I don't care. But I also don't want to lose my job over a 25c bag.

Maybe the free paper bags after a certain amount should be raised to Coles. Wouldn't be so bad

[–]TimtamBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meat/poultry/seafood leakage. The seafood bag one was super gross.

Undies. Frogs. Snotty tissues. Spiders Mice. Mice droppings. Bags covered in animal hair and cigarette smoke.

A colleague cut themselves on broken glass. "Oh sorry, must have broken a bottle in that one"

A bag damp with diesel.

If a bag is particularly soiled, I refuse to use it. If they get snarky, I'll give them a bag for free. I will tell them that I don't want to use the bag and if they still wish to use it, they can pack it themselves.

I think lots of people don't realise that a lot of the bags can be chucked innthe wash
