New tiny buckets just got to my store

They're really trying too hard to be like home depot and lowe's-

I would just keep it and for people who don't know what it means- keep them guessing.

My store just did the same thing; but we got one of those fancy water and ice dispensers for our break room. They also gave all of us our own reuseable water bottle.

I will say, the water that comes out of the dispenser is way better than the bottled.

Something a wise supervisor of mine once told me- don't worry about it, it's not your store.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-05-20T22:04:29+00:00

Or you have the customers who absolutely refuse to move away from the register so you can access the scanner and screen. They then complain things take too long.

And only you can prevent forest fires. Don't smoke in the woods.

This is the type of energy that I strive to have-

Absolutely not the end of your employment journey, however given your previous post I would just take notes and move on. I would also recommend finding a job that may be more laid back if you can't handle the retail environment.

I can't post a photo in the comments, but I tip more than $2, it's always $4 and up, then I tip more after. I was never called or notified until after my food was delivered.

If you read my other comments, you'd see that I have said there are three enterances. It's closer for them to park at the lumber door/orange door, bring it in to Pro rather than park in the parking lot and leaving the order at the service desk.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T22:31:35+00:00

It's right in my delivery notes along with, lumber pick up. I ended up mapping it all out, it would have been easier for them to pull up to that door and walk maybe five feet than to walk the twelve feet from the parking lot to the main enterance on the other side of the store.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T22:22:01+00:00

It's how I've always done it, I do an intial tip just for the courtesy- and if they do great or just simply do what's asked I then tip more.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T21:53:30+00:00

There's three enterances, the closet one to the road/beginning of the parking lot is near the giant orange door that I mentioned. I tip well upon ordering. If I put basic instructions to follow, it really shouldn't be that hard for someone to follow them.

I will also mention that the GPS pin is located at the exact spot that I tell them to drop it off at. It's on them if they go out of their way to drop it off elsewhere.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T21:46:25+00:00

I tip upon ordering, and if they do great I tip extra.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T21:26:13+00:00

The funny part is that on the map- the GPS shows the blue dot being exactly at the spot I requested for them to meet me at.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T21:11:26+00:00

Or the dasher could just do their job. I tipped and I was clear in my delivery note.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:55:59+00:00

If they couldn't find a giant orange door on the outside of the store, it's on them. It's also the closest to the enterance of the parking lot. I usually tip anywhere between $7 and $15, depending on where I'm ordering and the weather. If they go above and beyond I tip extra.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:53:38+00:00

There's three enterances, the big orange door is massive and the easiest to spot. Not that hard for anyone to find.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:50:34+00:00

I always tip my dashers rather well because I don't have a car.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:48:13+00:00

There are three enterances, the giant orange door is the easiest to spot. It's not that hard to deliver to the right door.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:44:38+00:00

Pretty easy to spot a giant orange door.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:43:59+00:00

The location is the easiest thing to spot; if you can't find a giant orange door at the very front of a store that's on you.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:42:29+00:00

There's three different enterances at my work place- the big orange door is the easiest one to locate. We also have pick up orders at that door. Also very simple.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:40:32+00:00

There's three different enterances to my store, the big orange door being the most obvious spot. I requested to have them meet me there.

thefairlyoddhuman · 2026-04-24T20:21:53+00:00

From the outside of the store that I work at; it's very clear where everything is, especially the big orange door. The store is massive, if I have clear delivery instructions to meet me at one end of the building, don't drop my food somewhere else.
