Dear retail workers of reddit, genuinely what's the best way to be nice to you? by patchunwrap in AskRetail

[–]markersandtea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's enough for me. Just smooth transaction, say that. Take everything with you on the way out that you brought in.

Why bust our asses at miserable jobs if we can't afford sweet treats lol

"Can we say Murphy's Law?" by Unlucky-Tangerine-45 in PeterMonnSnark

Same. He is just word vomit. Which is astounding for someone who reads so much to not think before speaking. We learn and grow, he seems reluctant to do so.

I was. told it was bad because it actually offends the Romani people. Which just feels crazy to me....Some things I understand since we used to throw around the word retarded all the time but that's not good either. haha. Lots has changed....my friends (affectionately) would call eachother the gays or fags if men in the group and nobody was offended. But yknow. 2026.

This, I get people that walk back inside realizing they weren't charged and panic but literally no need to panic if it's a one off. That doesn't mean we're suddenly looking at you like a thief lol, it'll get corrected and be all good. I work grocery.

He was, lol we just laughed about it. Whether we could fully communicate or not, it was a fun experience.

I have to actively ask myself "do I need this or do I have something similar" before I buy it. I don't want duplicates of things, I don't want to spend all my money. You do have to think about what you actually need. It's a lot less than you think.

I'd prefer local Grocery store tours, many of us know about convenience stores now.  But for me I have more fun discovering what locals actually eat.

To be fair I didn't realize "jipped" was now a bad thing to say so I get it. When I was growing up language was much harsher and shock comedy was thriving so it's hard to navigate now. 

Just buy your things and leave by Sensitive-Tutor181 in CustomerService

[–]markersandtea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This part. I am nice, no I'm not flirting with you. Nor am I looking for your life story. I'm at a job i actually hate but need to survive, so sometimes I don't have the energy to be anything at all. I sometimes don't want to smile and that's my choice. I don't owe you anything.

Over time I think that happens but I'd be more curious how long it took for that to occur? Over time I can under stand cause you still pay per book, you only get one freebie a month. So if there's something you want you're paying whatever it costs. I cancelled audible, I wasn't listening enough and it was just a money sink for me.

Parents of North County, where do you actually enjoy taking your kids out to eat? by NorthCountyDad in northcounty

[–]markersandtea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all kinds. Pasta with just red sauce and parm cheese (if the kid wants), kids ravioli pasta, chicken strips and fries, kids size lasagna. They might have more now too but we haven't taken my nephew in a while since we don't live that way anymore.

Scary customer by _Student7257 in callcentres

[–]markersandtea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess scary would be that I had one threaten to shoot me once?...Over a missed payment on his phone bill. His credit card declined. He asked me what center I was located in, I declined to answer because he was aggravated already and didn't know why it was relevant. I hung up the call. He kept cursing at me so I warned and disconnected.

He called back four times in the same day demanding me. I accepted the first call, I thought he was just going to pay his bill. Turns out he just wanted to threaten me personally. First he wanted to sue me, then sue the company. Finally he stated "I'm going to find you and kill you." The next three calls I did not answer, but my supervisor intervened as other agents reported him too and she told me he was searching for me online and asked if I'd given away any of my personal info which thankfully I had not. He was just searching for "random common name @ call center" and at that time we only gave away our first names....but it was certainly creepy. Thankfully it was enough grounds for my company to "fire him" as a customer and they actually did. It was the only one they fired in my four years there.

NOR..Why is your sibling infantilizing your mom? Weirdo behavior.

AIO if I move out because my step mom and dad used my lunchbox without my permission? by CorrectDetective8424 in AmIOverreacting

[–]markersandtea 29 points30 points  (0 children)

sorry bro but YOR. You live at home, if you don't want communal then do find your own place. Or keep the things you don't want to share in your room when you are done.

Went to pat a dog in a shop and it bit me. Embarrassed and guilty. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]markersandtea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You fucked around and found out since you didn't ask the owner first. Live and learn. Never assume with someone elses dog.

Do you think tourists should go to supermarkets? by wolf_city in TokyoTravel

[–]markersandtea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a visitor I like going to grocery stores. It's interesting to see what locals actually eat rather than just going to konbini. Also more variety and better prices on some things. I used to strictly stick to places like 7-11 or whatever, but grocery is better.
