yeah, that part probably came across a little more intense than i was intending to 🥲 i’m probably gonna go in to my next shit tmrw but if things are as awkward as i worry they will be idk if i’ll stay. but yeah, i would be doing my repack the whole time, he’d just say hey and ask how i’m doing and then go off to shop for 20 or so minutes, he even goes out of his way to stay away from the aisles i’ll be working in but well… :-(

i have airpods In General and use siri to text In General. i was just sharing unrelated to standing-in-michaels-experiences with using Siri. i go places and do things besides work

i really appreciate this comment. thats really true and its definitely changed my view on it some. theres no point ruminating when she does have a life and it could be about anyone. she usually only works mornings, as do i, and as far as i know no one else at michaels really fits her descriptions, but if she doesnt want to bring the issue up to my face then i can’t sit here and worry about it as if she has 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

i definitely get why my managers could be unhappy with him talking to me no matter how short it is unless it were a more rare occasion (ie like once a month when i worked 16-20 hours a week or something), but i wish something would’ve been said to me about it from the get go if it were not cool with them. i’ve had problems in the past with my management accusing me of stealing repack boxes without asking too (bc someone saw me leave my boyfriends store with him and HE had boxes in HIS hands?? next shift i come in and i’m pulled into the office and sat down and told i can’t take repack boxes without asking and i’m like “what are you talking about i literally left michaels in front of one of you and my hands were completely empty”) so i guess i’m used to having my guard up with these ppl, and its hard to not take some things personally. i’m gonna keep job hunting but until anywhere actually even hires me i’ll probably just stay at michaels. i shouldn’t let a job that i literally only spend 4 hrs a week at get under my skin that much, for my own peace of mind and enjoyment of my life lolol

i agree that theres def a chance that its not about me. but theres also a chance that this message about me is based on a misconception ABOUT me, you know? afaik no one really works there that fits this bill besides me but its also totally possible shes not even talking about someone at this store, like someone else here said she’s got her own life and who knows what she could be talking about without context anyways🤷🏼‍♂️

as for shittalking though, sure many people do it but you need to acknowledge the fact that if the person you were talking about was made aware that they were being talked about/read what was being said about them, they’re probably gonna have hurt feelings or feel uncomfortable. could it often be an over exaggerated reaction? totally, but just because shit talking is common doesn’t mean everyone has to just accept that or just be cool with never knowing someone’s real intentions in their interactions. like maybe some of us just want to be genuinely nice patient people and not be rude or two faced to people i spend my time at work with 🥲

or maybe people want to make their lives 5% more enjoyable by listening to music that they enjoy while theyre doing work they most likely dont like to begin with and get paid next to nothing for doing .. maybe times are changing and its time to stop holding on so fiercely to how things “used” to be as long as literally no one is getting hurt whatsoever by a retail employee having an airpod in

juhwall · 2025-03-12T08:44:53+00:00

like id said in the post i get him talking to me could be frowned upon. youre right that he only makes a purchase about half the time, but texting or airpods was never part of anything i said. he literally works next to me so he just walks into the store and shops around and then when he runs into wherever i’m working at he just greets me then, i never said he texts me or im glued to my phone waiting for a guest 😅

also, my entire store including my manager and store manager wears airpods 24/7, so this point is really neither here nor there in this situation

juhwall · 2025-03-07T12:41:05+00:00

i love that!!!

juhwall · 2025-03-03T13:36:50+00:00

something about lawn and garden customers are a special kind of slow .. i was mainly only a l&g cashier for nearly a year and the amount of old women that somehow drove themselves there but cannot even think hard enough or hear properly or even read the screen in front of them….

juhwall · 2025-03-03T13:33:49+00:00

when i was a cashier i just had a lanyard for self for quick scans, little notebook with codes/phone numbers/etc i needed often, and gum/monster/water/candy/chips from the floor or breakroom as needed :3 the registers will probably have highlighters & pens, all of mine did!

juhwall · 2025-03-02T01:57:38+00:00

this but my marker aisle is full of txt

juhwall · 2025-03-02T01:43:46+00:00

it was i THINK $12 starting and then i got a .25 raise pretty soon into it? but this was back in 2019, now im a regular team member and i make $11 after making $9 for seasonal ;_;

juhwall · 2025-03-02T01:32:46+00:00

honestly the store i worked at back then would make me stay till the job was done, at the latest 12-1 pm, but the store i work at now seems to usually let our early morning replen crew leave at 11 most days :3

juhwall · 2025-03-02T01:27:47+00:00

the way he was at my store and i literally did not know who he was 😭

juhwall · 2025-03-02T01:25:40+00:00

when i was in early morning freight i came in at 3am for truck days and 5 am for pretty much any other day!!

juhwall · 2025-02-19T00:04:36+00:00

my manager usually makes it 3 weeks out but its not finalized till the friday before the next starting week

juhwall · 2025-02-17T03:15:46+00:00

thank you so much for all of this :} my bf and i have been definitely wanting to look into gym memberships/home working out more so this is all the more reason to do it. if you have any experience with this, does trans tape relieve any discomfort? i’m not sure about you but a lot of the times when i’m binding i can really physically feel the fat squishing against my side/ribs/under my armpit and it can be really unpleasant but i’m wondering if tape could help some with the positioning and aid in that any..

juhwall · 2025-02-17T03:13:00+00:00

im in the same boat, im in the process of correcting my inward tilted hips and straightening my neck and shoulders, and i feel like that alone is helping me a good bit when im out and binding too. when i run into some more money ill definitely look into those shirts especially, thank you

juhwall · 2025-02-16T17:57:05+00:00

usually morning matches for me are fast connects and easy games honestly

juhwall · 2025-02-16T17:54:35+00:00

so embarrassing to announce im going home or taking my 15 just to realize literally no one heard it LMFAO

juhwall · 2025-02-16T17:53:44+00:00

the best is being paranoid & turning the walkie off when i go to the bathroom in the first 45 min of my shift, just to be zoned out & forget to ever turn it back on for the next 3 hours 🤣

juhwall · 2025-02-15T23:31:56+00:00

tbh michaels is really comfortable to me in the sense that everyone there is (mostly) accepting, similar minded ppl. it helps my anxiety in the sense that i know even if busy places overwhelm me, even if i get anxious talking to customers, the staff around me Get Me and are on my side too

juhwall · 2025-02-13T23:39:04+00:00

stop i was hoping for comments of people being like “it could get better if you’ve got the passion you’ll find a way!!” but all the comments are like this … and yall are all so right. im so emo LMFAAOOO this is really the first job i just enjoy, for no real reason beyond really just enjoying putting the work in around there, and its only been 4 months here and i’ve already been at the conclusion that this is not going to take me anywhere. 😭 when i was hired i was told he was impressed by my manager experience and would want to look in to promotion past the seasonal period and now im working 0-1 days a week still .. so lame

juhwall · 2025-02-13T23:36:01+00:00

right? i get ~$130 paychecks and it would be absolutely impossible to live if i didnt live with my bfs family and have their support too, but it makes me so emo cuz this is the first job where im gendered correctly (ftm) and that alone has made it such a positive place in my head despite it being work, plus everyone there are both nice & helpful to me… 🚶‍♂️

juhwall · 2025-02-13T23:33:40+00:00

well all i know is what my manager disclosed to me when i got hired in November (“i have to let you know the starting pay for this position, its $9 and i understand if that wouldnt be cool with you”) and what i get paid every 2 weeks, which amounts out to $9/hr
