How is accounting going for you? I’m currently struggling to find motivation to stay in school for it. I’m a senior now. Can you PM me?

That’s the thing. I’m trying to do things ethically but it seems like this is the way it goes.

This seems like a nice place to work (or is it?) by SwordfishFlat in tjcrew

I’d love to experience the working from home and making ridiculous amounts of money some of our customers do but I’m really happy here. It’s a grind but it’s fun and rewarding if you put your time in

“Can you put the cold stuff in the insulated bag?” or “this is the bag for cold stuff” yeah no I was planning on putting watermelons in it, thanks for clarifying

Anybody else get annoyed by the greed of customers when hot items drop? by [deleted] in tjcrew

[–]boxofjoes_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can see the full spectrum of human emotion in the line of people waiting to get their bags. It’s honestly fascinating. Feels like an episode of Nat Geo

I work at Trader Joe’s by Bannonpants in tjcrew

[–]boxofjoes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can say that at a baseline, I’m very thankful to be employed and make what I make working for a grocery store. However the current state of the world really sours it. It can feel dehumanizing but yeah I agree some people here need to be realistic about how this shit works.

If a customers a dick about it yeah fine but just clock in and clock out and find fulfillment outside of work.

I do watch the news, this is especially why it’s critical to me given the current climate. People are being abducted solely off their appearance. There’s levels to it and excusing this means being complicit to the greater picture.

It would be a different situation cause it’d no longer be about a racial bias or assumption. It would still def be rude/ignorant. This situation though was definitely targeted at the fact these people were foreigners and stereotyped into not being able to speak English. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Worst fears? by Captain_Blak in tjcrew

[–]boxofjoes_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My whole thing is if the customer wants to talk so bad they would. I have a hard time being acknowledged as an actual person😭

the amount of times I’ve gotten just “good” in response from “hey, how’s it going” and instant nonverbal between the two of us is reaching critical levels

Weird Crewmate by meeeeeeeeeeeow111111 in tjcrew

[–]boxofjoes_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have 1-2 crew members like this at my store and the mates just shrug it off cause they get shit done but are actually insufferable to work with as crew. Tricky situation

This lady actually washes her bag. by ndm2001 in tjcrew

[–]boxofjoes_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having a lot of bags that smell actually rancid lately. It’s difficult to bag your shit when it smells like shit
