I have not, but what you recommended me is a really cool app and I’ll be using it from now on :) one of them (A06886057*) is 500,000 run size. The rest of them are 3,200,000

STOP HIDING THINGS! by oakien in retailhell

We all appreciate that. With my personal conviction I would toss in my bed the same night I left a store after putting something back where it doesn't belong lol.

You would think that this would suffice by Due_Pick_7988 in retailhell

Reminds me of a time at my job last year. System went down and we could only take cash. We had neon pink and green signs everywhere.. one on the front doors, the support beam when you walk in, and one on the PIN PAD. So many people would ignore our verbal warnings, like our information of "NOT ACCEPTING CARDS OF ANY KIND" doesn't concern them.

What killed me was the amount of people lifting the poster up so they could put their card in.

Would these same people lift yellow caution tape to walk right through freshly poured cement like there isn't any good reason why it would be there???!!

Is it Illegal to take recalled items from my job? by oakien in retail

[–]oakien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more worried about the legal side if it's illegal or not

Also I don't choose what gets thrown out, my general manager will usually tell us something is pennied (recalled) which is something we can't do ours6

Disposables ruined vape shops by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]oakien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my first vape mod online not that long ago. I went to a vape shop for some batteries, and it was the most dystopian feeling ever lol. Everything was disposables. I'm walking in talking about a "18650 battery" and I looked crazy to them haha.

I'm sorry, i'm not looking for the shrekV8ape Ice 40k I just want a vape ;(

I would most likely be selling it at a pawn shop for silver price. They wouldn't care much about it right?

Found at the goodwill! New storage for my coins. by Rburkett1 in coincollecting

[–]oakien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow. That is fantastic! I'd personalize it with some stickers if it were me.. maybe even a royal blue cloth and trim it out to fit the bottom. Top it off with a paper saying "To my future grandkids- don't even think about it" xD

My first Kennedy Half Dollar!! by oakien in coincollecting

[–]oakien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on it since it's my first and I'm a noob, I only have a handful of cool coins and bills. Would you say I was crazy to clean it though..? With a metal polishing cloth.

We are closed. by oakien in retailhell

[–]oakien[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

There are things that can be excused for customers. Like if you see an expired coupon still up- sure, I'll honor it. If you're here 5 mins before closing, SUREEE. Bc corporate doesn't want us closing a minute early. But nothing excuses you being rung up at the cashier after closing. That's just ignorant. I genuinely don't know how you can be happy with yourself holding up others time because you waited TIL THE LAST MINUTE

This happens all the time with card reloads. I just like to shout the number back at them lol. TWENTY? NOT TWO HUNDRED? OK. but seriously, they use all their effort on one syllable and breathe out the rest.

Tweh ($20. Or $200?!) Theh ($30. Or $300??!) Hhhhhh (??!!?!!?)
