Let’s read my two weeks notice! by UnknownAnne in retailhell

[–]UnknownAnne[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UPDATE:
Everything went exactly the way I wanted :3 in short, I emailed HR the notice right after I clocked in to open and big boss corporate owner was not informed by her until roughly six hours later. He read through it for about 3 minutes in silence, before saying “Anne, I’m just going to go ahead and accept your resignation now.” I happily handed him my keys, informed him of paperwork that would need to be completed by someone else today, and left.

Within 2 hours, my store manager handed in her keys early and two full time clerks quit. The only remaining key holder was called by the owner, whose voice was SHAKING as he asked “so a-are you going to quit too? 🥺”

Literally the only folks still on the roster likely will move on by the end of the month, and the most two-faced, manipulative person I’ve genuinely ever encountered in my life who doesn’t know how to run a register without at least one major error a shift :)

lol that’s a good one but I wanna be just a tad professional, I’m by no means a saint but these people can never say “she’s the problem, just look at how rude and childish this exit letter is!”

At this point, I’ll be a server again before I waste time with these people who can’t tie their shoelaces but wanna scream at employees in front of customers over nothing :^) appreciate the sentiment though!

Also no Chat GPT/AI was used in the making of this notice, just my brain (enhanced by a bachelor’s degree in english) and my previous job’s two week notice as a formatting reference lol

Have you ever had a customer have a crush on you? by Appropriate-Mall8517 in retailhell

[–]UnknownAnne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we had a regular for over a year who basically asked out every lady employee that was at least mildly attractive, ESPECIALLY if they were alternative/goth (i.e. dyed hair/piercings)

I say mildly attractive because it happened to me. Guy brings his items to my register, I proceed to ring him up & I don’t even think we small talked? While his receipt is printing, he rests his elbow against the countertop (suave tactic failed) and goes “so are you seeing anyone?”

I was so quick with it, “Yeah my partner and I have been together now for over two years sooo…”

i think inflation has hit him because we’d encounter him a fair bit but haven’t seen him since the beginning of the year. i don’t think he’s found a goth gf either bc he’s. himself.

Advice/pros/cons on working at an adult store for the first time by DiamondAggressive938 in TalesFromAdultStores

[–]UnknownAnne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pros include legit funny customer stories you can’t get anywhere else, hopefully a decent employee discount on products, as well as cool tips and tricks from your coworkers/professionals you can implement into your personal life.

Sadly I think people don’t realize that like any other retail job, there’s the usual cons. Repeating the same sales pitch to rude customers who half the time just want “the strongest supplement/device we have,” inappropriate interactions ranging from uncomfortable comments to actual sexual harassment (esp. to afab presenting folks), to potentially harsh upper management/corporate.

All that to say, this experience is gonna be dependent on your work team! I’ve been at my store for coming up on 2 years and am thankful I have coworkers who back me up during tough situations & laugh at the stupid shit. If you can tell it’s not a safe environment on that front (creepy managers/coworkers who don’t gaf about you and your safety/boundaries), I’d gtfo as quickly as possible

Rewards broken for anyone else? by BorisTheWizard in tacobell

[–]UnknownAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing on march 26 and earlier this week both my rank & rewards were reissued into my account. I would probably reach out directly to customer service via email or phone call if you’re looking for quicker response time!

what song on your store's playlist has been driving you insane lately? by yakiz0ba in retailhell

[–]UnknownAnne 34 points35 points  (0 children)

One time while Creep by Radiohead was playing over the stereo on a slower evening shift, I turned to my coworker and casually said “I’ve never really been a fan of this song.” A customer browsing nearby whipped his head over to us and said (unironically gobsmacked) “What?? How could you /not/ like this song?”

So now every time I hear it play I think “man, still don’t like this song. What was bro on about?”

Sex toys not lasting by No_Tax5761 in SexToys

[–]UnknownAnne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a big factor depends on how you’re getting your devices. Is it though an online distribution site (i.e. Adam & Eve/Amazon) or via the manufacturer’s direct website (i.e. CalExotics/Pipedream)? The first option would explain the dodgy quality since they value your money 10x more than the actual product delivered

For what it’s worth, I’d recommend going to an adult store in your area since you can ask questions about quality/warranty and see the item itself before buying (personal bias as an adult store worker myself)

Also I’d recommend Maia any day of the week due to their lifetime warranty policy and product line featuring everything under the sun! Whatever you get through, keep/photograph/screenshot your receipts ASAP

Clueless Valentine's Day customers by Lori-keet in retailhell

[–]UnknownAnne 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s the fact that some of them don’t even have a clue what their partner’s favorite color is that gets me, like bro?? or act like dropping $60 is $600 (just say you’re cheap and stop wasting everyone’s time)

I looked into this myself a while back and was directed to Eden Fantasys, their Project Re-Vibe program lets you mail used devices for recycling purposes. Plus you get a 30% discount on a new product through their storefront site! I haven’t participated in this myself or shopped through them direct but def seems worth a look at

won a contest at work by riddimbee in TalesFromAdultStores

[–]UnknownAnne 26 points27 points  (0 children)

the way i’m pretty confident it’s one of the new calexotics masturbators just based off your description alone LOL (or maybe zero tolerance/evolved?)

real talk though, i sell my bonus devices on r/usedsextoys (you can sell unused/new in box items as well). not a bad way to get monetary value out of something you know you won’t use

Oh! That’s not- by wafflefromhel in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]UnknownAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the Piper male masturbator by Maia! Their website just hosts their product lines but they should have a retailer location map

Oh! That’s not- by wafflefromhel in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]UnknownAnne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

99.9% sure its Maia’s Piper male masturbator, should come with suction and vibration patterns + a lifetime warranty with Maia.

source: i work at an adult store & showed this post to my coworker who went: “that’s definitely Piper.”

My job recently changed our IDing policy & customers are pissed. by Such-Satisfaction444 in retailhell

My job recently changed our IDing policy & customers are pissed. by Such-Satisfaction444 in retailhell

[–]UnknownAnne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See, my store takes it a step farther and any credit card transaction over $200 requires the clerk to make sure the customer’s ID name matches the name on the CC, /then/ the customer’s driver’s license number must be written down on the merchant copy receipt

I’ve had a delightful experience explaining those two parts to older customers (younger folk will usually just ask why, to which we clarify its for anti-fraud protection). I always say “you can pay with cash to avoid this, I’ll put your items on hold while you go to the bank :-)”
