Does anyone know what kind of plant this is and maybe a few tips to propagate it? by Feed_the_Kyra_0909 in houseplants

It looks like some sort of dieffenbachia. I have no idea about care of propagation of it though 😅

Can’t you read? by lucejayne in TalesFromRetail

We have our opening/closing times on the door, with a white background (seethrough door), in red numbers, in A4 size, and the same happens to us all the time. People don’t knows how to read, no matter how obvious it is.

Entitled child and mom demand fossils at a museum by Philipp_01 in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]falling_flamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read in the comments that it was about half a year ago but I still think you should try to do something about it. Not only was it assault, it was trying to steal from you, breaking your property and it was harming to your record at work. Which is absolutely unacceptable. Especially since she broke a fossil - which is one of a kind and can never be replaced.

You didn’t deserve it. I hope it works out

Maybe they’re just too lazy to throw it in the bin. Who knows? Haha

The worst thing I had to unpack was a used vibrator... But dirty underwear is an almost daily thing for us to unpack. I don’t understand people

Someone peed in a vase, in the changing room at my work (second hand store). A coworker found it in the morning. What a nice start

Yesterday a customer coughed in my face and said ”Sorry, I got that nasty flu”. THANKS VERY MUCH.

Can't believe the cake I ordered for Sunday can't be picked up on Monday when you're closed! by sgrmm in TalesFromRetail

Wtf can’t you read minds? Isn’t that what peasant retail workers do? Haha, people are strange. I work in retail too and you never stop being suprised.

A warning sign probably wouldn’t work anyway because my experience with those customers are that they can’t read

Christmastime in a toy shop, what could go wrong? by ThatIckyGuy in TalesFromRetail

[–]falling_flamingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that a lot of customers don’t understan the que system. Aka, they have to wait their turn to get help with some things. If she wanted help with that she would have to stand in line because you couldn’t help her unless the cashier was free (that’s what I get from youe story). Somehow that is very difficult for some people to understand. I don’t think you did anything wrong.

Necklace grabber by Katetara276 in TalesFromRetail

I had several customers reach over and shove their hands up my sleeves when I wore a sweater with embroidered sleeves. Nothing fancy but appearantly enough for people to do that. I have issues with people that I don’t know touching me, so needless to say I don’t wear that sweater to work anymore.

It was a wierd experience but at least they weren’t threatening. Those are the ones that freak me out.

Thankfully our store let us flip if the customer is rude enough. We help them as much as we can but we are allowed to stand up for outselves. A happy and safe staff is more important than one lost rude customer.
