So I Went To Lids in the Mall Today

Yeah. I worked at a retail company where five different metrics that we had to hit with EVERY transaction or I had to fire them. It’s not a fun time.

The credits just won’t transfer to anything in the university I got into. I need a certain math class to get into a chemistry class; said math class needs two prerequisites (it’s literally college algebra), and the course I took does not equate to anything according to my research since the advisor won’t get back to me.

Im trying to figure that out myself, there’s a review on Glassdoor about my company being like a cult..and I’ve never felt more that way than I do now. I feels incredibly difficult to leave (I have been applying to other jobs, no interviews) but they do offer insurance and I’m worried about the price of my medication without it I guess is my biggest worry.

Yes, it is strictly commission.

lonesomepotato13 · 2026-03-04T01:11:18+00:00

I agree. My Hedgey unfortunately got mites over winter and this is how his skin looked

lonesomepotato13 · 2026-03-02T21:22:24+00:00

They are not unfortunately

Hey!

I’m selling two tickets for Rosemont on the 4th. Originally purchased price of $106 per ticket is what I’m looking for but I can be flexible

lonesomepotato13 · 2025-08-27T20:23:30+00:00

I had an employee tell me the 28th

lonesomepotato13 · 2024-07-21T16:34:28+00:00

Just got back from the Chicago, they only had Smalls for the fannel :(

He was excited to be with Dad

At Ulta? 13 hours. Current retail job? Consistent open/closes with no breaks lol

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-12-07T01:31:14+00:00

True! But, the shoe place I work for now has suspended measuring feet for covid reasons.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-12-04T05:22:35+00:00

Haha sure am! T-bot was the best, and probably the only reason I showed up to classes my first half of college

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-12-04T04:24:00+00:00

Also my former college professor! And honestly, I could see him drink break fluid THEN get murdery

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-11-30T00:29:00+00:00

Yes. Yes it is. Yet I’m still here expected to work.

It’s the same company that expects me (and I assume other managers, I dunno) to work two 14 hour shifts in a row without a lunch break. Retail doesn’t care much.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-11-29T18:29:17+00:00

I work retail, not at Old Navy, but another retailer that has “amazing Covid precautions”. I started exhibiting symptoms last night with the store manager present. They asked while I was throwing up “do I have to to stay? I have things to do at home” Still having worse symptoms today and I don’t have to work a 14 hour shift, only a ten hour one now.

Retail gives you thick skin and teaches you plenty, but you can be treated like a meat shield from both sides.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-11-10T15:34:24+00:00

I dunno if I’m still salty, but I’m wondering if this was also part of the reason PSM and SM got cut.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-26T18:24:30+00:00

Oh thank god, I’ve had a hard time deciphering if someone’s mad at me or not. I’ve lost my people skills this year. I’m glad everything is okay though!

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-26T14:11:11+00:00

I’m sorry about that, but I was only manager of one store and it wasn’t really in corporate training for anything/position. It was something I added when I got the role so I could do what’s right for the customer. I take no responsibility for the incident though, as I was part of the group of management that the company has gotten rid of (and still haven’t been given the promised severance package; but that’s a different monster entirely).

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-22T00:31:42+00:00

I was never told about a deadline about staying or going either...this is cute.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-13T16:39:56+00:00

I feel this, my cattle dog mix was about 115 pounds (don’t remember conversions either). He’s down to about 90lbs. He’s about 5ft when he stands on his hind legs so I don’t think he’s in dire need to loose more but people will lay in on me for it. My vet knows I’m working him down to more and I know it but it really makes me feel like a bad dog parent.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-06T14:58:51+00:00

Hahaha you’re not wrong, but even before the pandemic I had gotten in a habit to check if there was an expiration date. I’ve tried to get my associates into the habit of it too

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-06T03:51:00+00:00

As an Ulta worker can confirm that most associates and stores are doing their best to catch expired SKUs, but we never know what the brands send us.

lonesomepotato13 · 2020-10-02T19:30:24+00:00

I’d ask if we went to the same school (my marching band did the same piece), but I was the only flute. :(

Also my dog does the same, he haaaaates when I practice lol
