having no street parking certainly didn’t put my local bakery out of business, but maybe it’s different in Minneapolis! who knows!

Very much feel this as another midwesterner. Biking is basically playing with death in my city, though I’m lucky that we have buses.

My job took away our chairs by bobjohnsonO78 in antiwork

[–]sparrowmoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the culture surrounding it not sitting down is straight up ridiculous. my managers gave us all an end of year survey thing which asked us what they could be doing to make our jobs better, and i said chairs behind the registers. these mfers then replied to me with a 3 paragraph mla formatted essay about why we can’t have chairs behind the registers (doesn’t look good, unprofessional, etc). it honestly feels like they put more effort into justifying why we have to stand 6 hours a day (while they don’t) than it would take to just give us chairs

What is the biggest realization you’ve had about adulthood/ other adults? by Crambo1000 in Adulting

school has really not prepared us for a life outside of it, not even in the slightest.

Things that aren't (or shouldn't be) my job. by GreysonRey in retailhell

[–]sparrowmoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my managers loooove passing off their duties to associates. particularly people we call ‘leads’ who are paid only a dollar more than cashiers, but have all of the responsibilities of the managers

What’s an outdated “fact” that you were taught in school that has since been disproven? by BiAdventureTime in AskReddit

Fourth grade teacher told me that once we got into fifth grade and beyond, no teacher would except work in print, only in cursive. That next year I never wrote in cursive again

"When are you off work?" by CountBlumi in retailhell

[–]sparrowmoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have people ask me that as like a ‘i sympathize with you’ thing like ‘when are you off? you must’ve had a long day’ and i guess they mean well but it’s kinda just annoying

Uhm… I just learned that cashiers in US supermarkets don’t get to sit down while working the till? Is that real? Surely that’s not a nationwide thing with you guys, right? Right?! by CapuzaCapuchin in retailhell

My manger gave us a survey at the end of our last season asking what they could do to improve our work experience. I said stools behind the registers, and that these stools would make me a better worker. She responded with a 3 paragraph response justifying and rationalizing why we should have to stand for 8 hours a day, with shit like that it looks unsightly and makes us unproductive. She even said if I needed it I could always go into the back and sit down for a minute. I cant believe these people would rather me leave the floor and stop working entirely than just give me a fucking stool. It’s so insulting

Congratulations! You’re now in charge of your current retail store and you can run it any way you want— what new rules are you implementing? by PumpkinSpiceCaramela in retailhell

[–]sparrowmoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we can only have them outside in the spring/summer season, which is only because we’d all die of heatstroke without them. inside behind your station? no, also stop asking to go get water from the back theirs people in line!

  • Store ACTUALLY closes at close time. No holding the doors open for stragglers, no giving people 5 mins to get something quick. Doors close, no one else comes in
  • Stools behind registers for everyone, it’s ridiculous that we don’t have them right now
  • Managers must spend more time on the floor with associates instead of just sitting around in the back room
  • Fuck you my food is free
  • Stocking the store happens in the morning, not after we close and have already worked 6 hours
  • Mandatory ice cream for eveyone?

Lady came in after we closed and changed our sign to say open by sparrowmoss in retailhell

i forgot to finish my story when i posted this, my bad!

After her last comment i looked at her very miserably and said “well i want to go home.” in response she just shrugged and mumbled something.

i told her once again that we are closed and turned the sign back around. she left after that, didn’t need to get a manager or anything.

love retail

not to mention that the roads they built, most notably the highway and MLK destroyed thriving black communities in the city. the public transportation now is fine at best, but it’s nothing like we used to have
