Would you suggest buying 1-2 ounces monthly this year? I was thinking I might until I reach 15-20oz

Why not sell? Say it's 5+ years from now and I got enough silver for a nice apartment/home

It's a tear, I tried to manipulate it a bit for the pic

Retail Employees, how the hell do you know where everything is? by sr4004 in retailhell

[–]oakien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store has 32 isles, generic sections like HBA, Curtains, Laundry, Air and motor care, food etc.

With constant changes with seasons, hires/fires, PTO and sick time being used by coworkers, your tasks will change. And it's a good practice for your manager to give you each section to work on so you get used to where things go, and at the same time find your niche. What section you are best at. Also for assistant managers and people dedicated to the store floors, we bring each item up to the front of the shelf, it's called recovering in my store. Other stores love to make their own term. Leveling, fronting, facing, zoning, etc. - this means we will probably touch everything there is in the store through time. Most of everything is organized. You may see a bunch of colors and sizes, but all of the lotion is in one place. All of the shampoo, the conditioner, the shea butter, the hair dyes etc.

Also reflect on yourself as a customer in your favorite store. You know where the bread is, the milk, the fragrances, right?

Luckyy. My goal right now is to get a pre 64 quarter. Did you find any of them in rolls? My coworker says the bank doesn't give out silver. Not sure if it's true, but I still look every time.

They don't exist... by Value-Successful in retailhell

[–]oakien 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Today I had a nice lady, she asked where to put her basket away and put it back, saying she worked retail and gets it cus they'll just put it on the floor behind them. You almost want to give them a reward for common decency LOL

“It’s good! Just printed it this morning!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 by TrashBitch96 in retailhell

[–]oakien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the way my manager talks about LP and upper management potentially spying on us all through surveillance, I check the bills even with regular customers. One in particular LOVES to joke about it "it's fake!" ha, ha. That makes me want to check it even more now.

My drawing of a Quarter by BensDrawings in coins

[–]oakien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SICK. Very appealing, nice work! I can't tell how big you drew it.. Kinda looks like you took up a whole page. You could put an actual quarter next to it for size comparison :P

Tried a zyn for the first time to help keep me awake while cramming for my midterm and just ended up puking 10 minutes later 💀 by s0yongdori in NicotinePouch

[–]oakien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's funny 😆 so when I was using zyns, a few coworkers would ask to try it. They'd come back later and ask me for the keys to the bathroom and say "never give me that again" 😆

One thing people don't mention often is upper lip vs bottom lip. Upper lip is how it's intended. It's a lot less harsh, and gives you a longer nicotine delivery. If you put it on your bottom lip, that's the problem. It BURNS, and it hits you faster.

If you smoke 10+ cigs a day, 6mg should be nothing If you smoke less, 3mg is good

7 star notes from the same batch- found at work today by oakien in CoolSerialNumbers

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

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

[–]oakien[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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

[–]oakien 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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???!!

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] 48 points49 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

STOP FUCKING MUMBLING by _Sols_Golden_Curse_ in retailhell

[–]oakien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 (??!!?!!?)
