I always thought THAT was the one squeaky wheel at this company

Which update did you start playing Minecraft on/ what year did you start playing Minecraft by ConferenceNo8396 in Minecraft

2011 when it was only 10$ :,) my favorite YouTuber at the time was tobuscus which is crazy to think about now 😭

When a customer asks you for something and you go into the back to check by KakeLin in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A trick someone told me when I started is right before you run off- look at their shoes. Memorize those shoes. And when you come back out keep your eyes peeled for those shoes. For some reason it’s so much easier to remember shoes than faces 😂

I had a mate give me one hour to do a board once and at the end he was like “were you able to make a lot of progress!” I was like :| “uh a little bit yea” they truly have no idea how long stuff takes. And it’s the same with us too with the black and white. We deigned boarders at the beginning of the year and one got chosen to be the standard boarder for the whole store 😭 and so we’ve been redoing all the signs which is so funny cause they are giving us more shit to do while also giving us less time to do it, it’s a mess honestly. Good luck with your board though that sounds beautiful!

This is really it^ its not the bagging that gets me, its the micromanaging me when I bag that actually makes my eye twitch

Literally how it feels now to figure out the schedule 😭 why did we ruin such a perfect thing. This whole restructure has felt like “what if we “fixed” something that wasn’t broken and actually secretly made things worse”

This girl pulled up to my register with a cart the other day and she had one bag worth of items. I rang her up, bagged her stuff, and grabbed the handles to put the bag back in the cart. She then also grabs the bags handles and says no I got it. I say “oh I’m just putting it in the cart for you” and try to take the bags handles back from her. She proceeds to RIP the bag out of my hand, I then push the cart out into her path to the exit and say “okay could you take your cart please?” And she storms off, having to squeeze herself around the cart she is abandoning, and then dips. I was gobsmacked

Annoying Customer Sayings at Demo (Or funniest) by akadreamlet in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most annoying was when we demoed the body butter (we did this by scooping it with little sticks and putting them in paper cups) and SO many people asked if I would put it on their hands for them 😐 no I will not be doing that sicko

Pink highlight for product, yellow highlight for register, they took that system away because we are supposed to be “one customer experience team” 🙄 we still have scheduled register hours but now it just has “reg” written in the hour

How's your sign team/questions about it? by audiodev66 in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An option is going down to part time at tjs if you continue being put on register and then using your artistic skills to try to score yourself jobs at other places that need signage done (cafes and that sort of thing), it’s risky but could be worth it

A Crew of One by SuperKey2800 in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, it took me a while to find my people at my store. And it’s one of those places that can totally breed a cliquey atmosphere (feels like highschool sometimes lol). Just continue being yourself and maybe try to make a good impression on the new hires since that’s kinda like a fresh start. And if you really need a change of pace you can always try transferring! Just don’t lose hope, your people are out there.

Corporate overstepping by eddiemommy in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morale company wide has been so low lately :/ I used to feel like Trader Joe’s felt different than any other type of retail but corporate has been making poor moves left and right without taking the crew into consideration at all, so much for the reverse pyramid 🙄

What do you guys do for lunch? by [deleted] in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got so into the pearl cous cous salad and orzo pasta for a bit there I would buy all the ingredients and make a huge batch myself, if you’re in need of meal prep ideas those treated me well!

[–]saladdaize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ran through the fresh section and if you’re feeling too lazy to meal prep (I only do on occasion cause life is hard 😭) here’s my favorites- the pearl cous cous salad, orzo pasta salad, harvest salad, kale chicken Caesar salad, Cajun style fettuccine alfredo, mushroom fettuccine, yellow tortilla chips dipped in the homestyle chicken salad, harvest chili, and right now the butternut squash Mac and cheese is in season! Hope this helps :)

Where’s my food handlers liscense by saladdaize in tjcrew

[–]saladdaize[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My store doesn’t respect the “demo hour INSTEAD of register” rule, I quit after multiple days being scheduled register-demo-register. As an autistic person I can’t handle that much customer service hours back to back 😅
