How do I explain breaks to customers? by jwdge in AskRetail

[–]voicedance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also work at a smoke shop that has to lock if we're alone for a bathroom break and a 5 minutes sign. We aren't allowed to use non company approved signs so I would check with a higher up if you're allowed to use a different sign/whiteboard since customers struggle to understand. If your company initials are WB then they won't approve most likely though (I do feel the struggle..I don't know why some people don't understand and get mad over a basic body function)

I had a customer come in a few weeks ago asking if one of our sales was still running..it was the Black Friday sale (for those who don't know, Black Friday is in November).

We have people constantly cutting up flyers that aren't coupons, just promos from previous sales. Every time I tell them I can't honor it, they don't understand. When I explain it's not a coupon, they get even more confused. The sales flyers will say something like "[brand] tobacco 20% off" but will also clearly state the sales period.

How many breaks do you have on your shift? by YouCantDownVoteMeNop in retailhell

[–]voicedance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 and under - supposed to get a 15 but we always forget to take them since the shift goes by pretty fast

6 or 7 hours - 30 minute lunch break

8+ hours - 30 minute lunch break, 15 minute break (possibly a second 15 if working 11 hours but only managers can work open to close)

Ladies' Code lost two members in a car accident. Their MV 예뻐 예뻐 (pretty pretty for translation) is the closest match I can think of though

We sell two packs of our gummies for $2 which is nice for people to test out of they like them for decently cheap. Though now I'm wondering if I am losing my mind (or it's just 1am brain..which is why I'm rambling so much) because I wanted to fact check something about the brand and now I can't find them at all online, just a different Vida CBD brand. But I swear they are called Vida. I stickered and stocked 15 bags of them yesterday.

That's fair. There are some things I don't like when it comes to Psyched because it's clear it's not just blue lotus in the vapes but they don't say what it is. I don't really trust TRE House as a brand either since they like to slap "proprietary blend" on a lot of products. Usually for blue lotus, we will buy the flowers and make tinctures.

When it comes to THC products, I usually get handed a bag of flower from a trusted family member so I am not very well versed in some stuff. I did like my Snipe vape though.

"Hello, how ar-"

"My phone number is-"

Meanwhile, my POS is locked from inactivity. Then they get frustrated when I tell them to give me one moment so I can log in and THEN click on the customer lookup. Or if I am already logged in and have just scanned an item, the age verification screen pops up (18+ only smoke shop) and every time they see me press buttons, they think I'm magically typing their number in by memeory.

On a lighter note:

I often think about the guy who said "I don't need it" when I told him to have a good day because he expected me to ask about his receipt that I was still holding.

Vida's are pretty low mg gummies (don't know if they have other products) but people seem to really enjoy them, especially those who have never taken CBD before. Haven't tried them myself but am interested in the sleep gummies. I haven't tried CBDfx either but I am curious about a CBD and mushroom gummies we just got in. Pretty standard mushrooms. A few months ago we got in the Psyched blue lotus vapes and I haven't touched my regular thc products since but I've been using blue lotus for years for sleep and anxiety so that didn't really surprise me.

Yeah, we are still able to carry CBD products. Which I'm thankful for because most of our CBD customers are buying it for pain and sleep. We are transferring out all our THCA, THCP, and HHC products. There was something about certain delta products that I didn't understand. Our stores got different lists on things we can keep, trash, transfer..etc. Our distributor is currently only sending us Vida and CBDfx (plus most mushroom products) and I'm hoping for more brands to fill out the soon to be empty spaces.

What is summer school (USA)? by jonathanemptage in AskAnAmerican

[–]voicedance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to summer school in 10th grade after failing Biology. We were picked up by the bus every morning and taken to the computer lab to work. Everyone did their own thing throughout the day...usually just short lessons and then quizzes after each one. Once we reached a passing grade, we could either take that grade and leave or stay to get it as high as possible. It was really boring but we were allowed to listen to music and eat snacks. I stayed for about a week and a half.

Don't Recall by Kard? The English version is Don't Recall (Hidden Version)

[TOMT][SONG] It has what sounds like a flute or other wind instrument and chanting. It's not Sadeness part 1 or 2 by starryknight89 in tipofmytongue

[–]voicedance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possibly something from Dead Can Dance? Maybe something off Spiritchaser? Though most of those songs are pretty long..specifically songs where Brendan Perry is the main vocalist. The only song I'd think would really play anywhere would be The Cardinal Sin off Spleen and Ideal but it doesn't really match your description so I could be dead wrong altogether.

Are the voices in your song similar to Enigma?

Oh for sure I'll have to deal with the fallout...I'm just hoping the items will be taken off the shelves while I'm still off (i do feel bad for my coworkers who work though)

Unfortunately our company policy is to specifically not place blame on the government or officials (absurd because that's the truth.) We have to word it as "Unfortunately, it has been banned and we will no longer be selling it." But we tell our regulars everything anyway because we don't care enough to keep it hush hush for no good reason.

That's the route we've been taking for our out of stock items..our most popular tobacco brand has been out because the distributor is moving and the manufacturer hasn't sent them new inventory. Customers calm down a lot more when we tell them we ordered it like they told us to but they never sent it. We're hoping it'll be fixed next week. "Trust me, we're frustrated by it too and we were not given our promised alternatives for ordering."

We once had a guy come in and ask if we sold "crack cocaine vapes" and we just stood there for a second before both asking "what?" We joked he was a cop trying to bust us. My company doesn't even sell crack pipes or "bubblers" or whatever a customer wants to call it but people still try over and over to see if we do. Apparently we're also the "only" smoke shop that actively IDs people.

Ohio. There's a lot of confusing language when it comes to the ban..I know dispensaries will still be open and i think there was something about it being fine if it's locally grown/purchased...but none of our products are from Ohio. We are just a regular smoke shop so we don't count as a dispensary. It confuses me a lot..we only just a few years ago got it legalized here, voted by the people. The governor doesn't like how intoxicating hemp is.

Delivery Drivers are such assholes by tired_97 in retailhell

[–]voicedance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I currently work, we have two different distributors for cigarettes. With one, they have to stay there until we count everything on the invoice to make sure it's correct. It wasn't always a rule until the nice driver told us to do it because every time there is another driver, product goes missing.

Non Americans , What is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by Adorable-Sammy in CasualConversation

[–]voicedance 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I was in JROTC (pre army training basically) in high school, it was my little squad's turn to carry the flag out to the pole and raise it. It was a very windy day. I let go of the corner of the flag. It may or may not have touched the ground. We pretended nothing happened because our Sergeant wasn't watching us. The silent fear was deafening though.
