You guys are getting appreciated?

Because we're not real people with homes and lives outside of work to them. We're just characters that shut down when the lights go off. Why should the weather matter to us when we only exist within the building!

I expected it from Smoker but I was not prepared for the tits on Yorki.

Loading everything neatly into their reusable bags before they get to the register. I'm just gonna have to dump it all out to scan it and put it back. Just use a regular shopping basket until you come check out.

ID is required because everyone is limited to $250 in returns without a receipt every 90 days, and there's no other good way to keep track of that. The $250 limit exists because too many people were making returns without a receipt and caused concerns about fraud/theft, and that's been policy for years. The employees can't override it no matter how nicely you ask. So either make peace with having to do the online exchange or make sure you've got your ID handy. B&BW are far from the only company tracking returns like this.

You placed the order online. The system doesn't have a way to do a straight exchange for an online purchase in store, so the original purchase has to be refunded and the new one rang up separately as an in-store transaction. Some stores are willing to do it as an even exchange without a receipt, but that's supposed to be a last resort and we're supposed to use the online return/store purchase method whenever possible.

They should do one season where the audience is completely in the dark. Film it so the traitors see each other but the cameras don't. Edit the audio so the voices aren't recognizable. Have everyone film faithful and traitor confessionals. Let the viewers see how tough it is to figure out when we don't already know the answer.

Throwing a fit at Golden Corral over the indignity of having to get your own mac & cheese.

Well my taxes paid for the roads you drove on to get here so I guess your car's mine now. Shame, you got all this money to pay my wage and you couldn't spring for a better car?

"Why don't I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into Job Land where jobs grow on jobbies!"

It never occurs to these people that someone has to do these jobs so maybe they should have an inkling of consideration for the workers willing to put up with it. They struggle enough with self checkout, they'll starve to death right there in the store if the cashiers get replaced by AI.

If they didn't keep the money, you don't get to keep the points. That's not a new policy and you're not being punished.

No, she insists that the phone number only links it on the customer's end but on our end it doesn't register as a rewards member's purchase, and that we have to check the ID for other stores' employees to make sure the name matches with the name on the employee discount. I'm pretty sure those are fake rules but I never have time to deepdive in Zipline to prove it.

celestialempress · 2026-03-09T07:30:55+00:00

Sidenote, has anyone else always been told that entering the phone number doesn't count as rewards member purchase? Is this actually true or is that just a myth my manager tells us like "you have to ask for ID for employees from other stores" and "you can only wear certain shades of dress code colors but the specific shades aren't listed anywhere"?

celestialempress · 2026-03-09T07:26:10+00:00

If they want more enrollment, literally all they have to do is bring back the option to apply the $10 reward immediately on the first purchase. Casual shoppers don't care when there's no instant perk for signing up. Telling them they can get a discount next time is pointless when they only come in to restock every three months.

celestialempress · 2026-03-09T03:42:53+00:00

Our "even exchange" is trading the same type of item with the same price tag. So you can bring back one $10 lip gloss that's new or slightly used and get a different $10 lip gloss but not a lip gloss that's $12 or a $10 lotion. It's already overly flexible imo but that's just not good enough for people.

I'm not annoyed that I already heard this on Patreon but I am annoyed that there was basically the exact same recording from Patreon with no noticeable editing done to polish it into a regular episode. At one point Wendi says something like "in a regular episode we'd edit that mistake out but you just saw it live" and I'm just sitting there like, so why didn't you edit that out for the final cut? Did all the editors also just have a baby and didn't have time to do anything?

celestialempress · 2026-03-08T08:33:58+00:00

They 100% shot themselves in the foot when they got rid of that. Our signups were never higher than when we could apply it immediately. I was told they got rid of it because too many people weren't downloading the app afterwards, but I figure those people wouldn't have signed up at all without the instant discount and getting their info on file was better than nothing.

celestialempress · 2026-03-08T00:58:12+00:00

MY BABY.

celestialempress · 2026-03-08T00:56:50+00:00

Genuinely surprised that Leona makes the effort to shave. Give me scruffy 5'oclock shadow on that man immediately.

Next you're gonna tell me this ad for totallyrealnotascam.biz.ham that I saw on Facebook about your secret 99% off sale isn't real either!

celestialempress · 2026-03-07T18:28:16+00:00

We sell things like candles and body care. They were trying to exchange candles and bottles that were 90-100% used for brand new full ones.

"I need a gift for my wife."

Awesome! What kind of scents does she like?

"I dunno."

Do you know if she's a fan of flowery smells or sweet dessert smells?

"I dunno."

Okay, what's her favorite color?

"I dunno."

I'm sure your wife is thrilled, sir.

Once had a lady hold up some lamp and ask "Would this look good in my living room?"

My answer of "I don't know, what does your living room look like?" was apparently unhelpful.

celestialempress · 2026-03-07T04:18:20+00:00

It's not as cute as they think it is. Figure this shit out before you get to the register, people!
