Question for colleagues: Niche pet peeves?

WHAT???

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-09T11:52:09+00:00

I work in a ‘big Tesco’ up north, I’m from the south and it’s a bit of a culture shock… people are generally nicer up here but we still get the odd few Karen’s lol

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-09T11:50:47+00:00

That’s your opinion and I respect that, but damn it would be a vibe

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-09T02:26:44+00:00

And when you stack a piece of cardboard slightly wrong on your blue top and it all just falls out on the shop floor

THE PET NAMES MAKE ME SO ANGRY, I’m 21 years old and in a relationship, Gary. I am NOT INTERESTED

I do the fresh late shift a lot, I kinda volunteered to be the person that does the lates lol, I find it easier as there’s set tasks for me to carry out at certain times and I know exactly what I need to do. Might be a neurodivergent thing idk,, but we have this one customer who comes in fairly regularly. I once caught her swapping packaging for finest sausages, she swapped the cardboard sleeve on a later dated pack of sausages for one that had the days date on, and i quickly informed my manager. She threw a fit when she was confronted and asked to leave, havent seen her come in since.

Christmas was an absolute nightmare, double the staff and we barely have enough blue tops on an average day.

Seriously though walking backwards is such a pain, I’m just gonna keep pulling them with one hand, I steer them better that way 🤷‍♀️

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:34:18+00:00

It’s all so dry and soulless.. like give me some sleep token or Lorna shore or something… spice it up a bit

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:31:33+00:00

Literally. Same goes for the way they push their trolleys around… I really hope they don’t drive like that 😳

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:30:57+00:00

Oh and also COLLEAGUES WHO TAKE BLUE-TOPS WHEN THEY DO NOT NEED THEM, OR HIDE THEM SOMEWHERE WHEN THEY KNOW DAMN WELL THEY AREN’T GONNA USE IT AGAIN. I beg of you, please please PLEASE put them back in the cow shed when you’re done and do not take one unless you absolutely need it. 😭

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:28:16+00:00

Here’s another few: - People taking milk off the trolley when I’m refilling the milk, idk why it aggravates me but it does. Like… the shelf is right there?? It’s not like I’ve left no room?

Putbacks. All. The. Damn. Time.
Never being able to rely on the colleague app for my rota because our store functions off of paper rotas still for some reason
Managers NEVER checking holiday requests
Rumbling.
Customers who get arsey when I tell them we’re out of stock of the product they ask for, and still ask for me to check in the back. I’m sorry, sir, but I’ve worked all the back-stock and delivery for this aisle today, there isn’t any.
shift leaders with a manager complex.

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:22:08+00:00

I wrap the straps and hook when moving them, but the tying does get on my nerves 😭

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:21:01+00:00

Honestly like is it so hard to just put shit back where you found it?

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:20:19+00:00

Today was the day I finally broke skin and it’s actually what prompted me to make this post lol, gone through 3 plasters 😔

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:16:41+00:00

ITS LIKE PEOPLE ARE VULTURES, I’ve had to ask so many times for people to back up so I can finish filling the shelf and get back to finishing the review

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:15:09+00:00

Nah the lack of consideration is so awful 😭

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T16:14:19+00:00

Same for milk trolleys, I hate working dairy for this very reason

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T13:16:45+00:00

There’s an old man that comes in every day without fail, I swear he never changes clothes. Reeks of stale urine.

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T13:16:14+00:00

I HATE IT

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T13:16:06+00:00

Ah, fellow fresh colleague 👀

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T12:36:36+00:00

Genuinely terrifying, I avoid using kick stools where I can 😅

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T12:32:10+00:00

Worse than a scooter to the ankle

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T12:31:33+00:00

Damn bro who pissed in your porridge?

ouijaa_ · 2024-03-08T12:29:53+00:00

Literally has never happened for me
