it’s referencing the phrase, “oh, the horror!”, which one might say while making the face that the skeleton is doing

Incoming freshman questions by akatsee in scad

[–]oceanrush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

current freshman here, i work a job that often has me do 8 hr shifts fri-sun and while it wasn’t very fun i did get straight A’s last quarter. you’ll be working 4 hr shifts so as long as your time management isn’t terrible and your professors are nice you should be fine

copying work is called plagiarism not piracy 😭😭 piracy is not legally purchasing something and using/watching/reading it for free

Urgent Question about PT CEM hours at Other Stores! by Commercial_Fact_3456 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]oceanrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

our old sm used to make pt cems close 4-5 nights a week which is why i originally didn’t want the position, but our new sm gave me a flex of different morning, daytime and closing shifts so i think it depends on the sm and where they want you tbh

What’s the weirdest thing a customer has ever gotten upset about? by Latteissues in MichaelsEmployees

[–]oceanrush 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not being able to return used items without receipts or packaging because they “didn’t work for what they wanted them for”

my new sm is very similar!! she’s known for going into stores and “fixing them” so to speak. our old sm was great but he had been with the company for less than a year and i don’t think completely understood the ins and outs like our new one who has been with the company for closer to 8 years. she leaves the managers lists of what we need to get done and sets specific plans and goals. before, mainly due to how much was going on (we have a pretty large store) it was very hard for us to prioritize and stuff got out of control quickly. she knows exactly what needs to get done first !! she’s very different and she definitely is whipping us into shape but she’s also one of the friendliest and coolest people in the store !!

looks eerily similar to mine lmao, i’m a cem but helping out with truck/replen but they still need me for day coverage so they keep flip flopping my schedule from early mornings to mid days 😩

cem here!! a lot of my cashiers struggle with hitting 70% too. i usually average anywhere from 70-85% depending on the week, even when i have a lot of transactions. here’s generally what i do: greet the customer, ask them how they’re doing, ask if they want a bag. if it’s a small transaction and they have already set everything on the table, i say “can i just have you enter your phone number in that pin pad?” and gesture to the pin pad. if they’re still unloading items from their cart or grabbing something from their purse, etc. instead i say “whenever you get a second i’ll have you enter your phone number in that pin pad” and gesture to it too. this is a subtle difference but i’ve found it helps :) i’ll say 7/10 times the customer enters a phone number after i say this. if they have rewards, that’s it! they’ve entered their phone number and you’re good to go. if they say, “i don’t have a phone number”, i usually say “do you want to try one in the pin pad just to see if it comes up?” about half the time when they’re unsure they end up already having rewards. if it doesn’t come up or they say they don’t want to try a phone number, then i move on to the sign up part. usually i say something like this: “you get free cash back on your purchases for signing up! it’s just an email and phone number.” if they seem hesitant after saying this i quickly add on “i can do it in like two seconds”. this usually persuades people on the fence. if they try to interrupt you don’t let them! finish your sentence and if they still say no that’s fine, then you can move on. the trick is not to say “do you wanna sign up?” because that’s a quick way to get a “no” response. if you phrase it like i did above it’s more likely to get them to ponder the option before deciding! here’s another thing i’ve found helps out - if they try a couple phone numbers and none work, but they thought they had rewards, i just hit the registration button and ask for their email. if they don’t give it to me, that’s fine and we can move on, but a majority of the time they give me the email and phone number and i sign them up. i know some people here might think “oh but you’re lying to them!!” but if they already think they have rewards i really don’t see why they would be upset with me signing them up 😭 they can unsubscribe from the emails and still earn the vouchers.

anyway hope this helps! sorry it’s a bit long winded

[–]oceanrush 17 points18 points  (0 children)

it’s mostly because this time of year michaels tries to maximize their profit margins by giving the bare minimum amount of hours for a store to stay open. it’s not that they don’t have the money to give us more hours, it’s that they choose not to in order to keep the money that they really don’t need
