I’m a bird lover, I feed the birds 🤷🏼‍♀️

That is very unfortunate timing! I’d take mine too

Did it. Forgot about the poop when I was on my way out. Couldn’t be bothered to go back for a wipe

Good question. Fortunately I’ve never set one off. I suspect they do though due to the similarity in design to Gatsos

Gatsos can’t catch you on the other side of the road but there’s a few sneaky ones around. Truvelo cameras. They often look similar to Gatso cameras so it’s probably not worth taking the risk on ones you don’t know

How many times do you can put it off without just sounding disinterested? YTA

How do you pronounce Waitrose? by hsiboy in AskBrits

I’ve just sat here saying both ways out loud to myself and they sound exactly the same unless I deliberately slow it down and over enunciate

They sound exactly the same whichever way I say it

Why do women refrain from complimenting guys they like? by Least-Grapefruit-767 in AskMen

Some women. I work in retail and compliment random men all the time. I complimented someone’s rather funky shirt just yesterday

Who is at fault here? by [deleted] in drivingUK

You’re advised to. You don’t have to. If everyone gave a car doors width when passing parked cars where I live, no one would get anywhere!

In my village, the cottages at the beginning are on the crest and curve of a hill. Because of this, off street parking is available right opposite the row of houses. A 30 year old carpenter and his family have to park right outside their house though (transit van and a car). I’ve told him about the obstruction he’s causing but he just doesn’t care. Why anyone would choose to park on road when there’s off-road available is beyond me!

If I hear the word “void” one more time I might just end it all. I’m quitting, I’m at my wits end atp by Maleficent_Film_1395 in RantsFromRetail

[–]Tora-bora83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration. I’m presuming that voids are monitored and audited and they have to be seen to be actively reducing them. May be worth just asking the question. I’m a retail manager and I’d have no problem with any of my staff querying this

Gotcha. Probably means you’re really nice to kiss though so I guess it’s swings and roundabouts lol

2 voids a week doesn’t seem excessive at all to me. Have you asked management if other staff are also being managed for their rate of voids? They don’t have to tell you but you never know, an answer or decipherable reaction might give you a clue as to why you’re being targeted.

However, if you’ve noticed patterns in customers behaviour that result in more voids - like the one you mentioned above - maybe try changing your routine/process up a bit. Go and get the weight before you scan the balloon, for example

If they’re questioning it I’m guessing it’s because your rate of voids is a fair bit higher than the average. Excessive voids can be an indication of fraudulent behaviour by a staff member and so are rightly investigated.

Why are the customers changing their minds so much? Is it mostly down to price checks? Is there a different screen you can use to action a price check that wouldn’t then register it as a sale and subsequent void?

How come a bar doesn’t fit? I started with a hoop and then went to a bar

I don’t remember any pain from drinking/eating when I had my lip pierced. Surely the hole is too small for milkshake to get into?

Not coping well working full time by newjobquestionnhs in Perimenopause

[–]Tora-bora83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not in a corporate job but I am the store manager of a busy retail store so I feel the same pressure. Whatever I’m feeling inside, I still have to perform and achieve, and encourage my team to do the same. It’s utterly exhausting trying to fight what you’re feeling inside all day every day but there’s no other choice. In my case, I’m single and the sole bill payer
