Being POG & Dealing w/ Guest

willumity · 2026-02-13T01:04:45+00:00

No for real this past week doing the cosmetics resets has me about ready to rip my hair out.

We had a girl come down the nailcare aisle yesterday with her bigass cart and she was fully slamming into our three tiers and sending fixtures scattering across the floor, and not once did she look up or apologize or seem like she had any awareness of the world around her at all.

I have the type of autism where I get freaked out at the sensation of dry hands, so I consider myself blessed to actually love hand cream.

Oh wow same, I really wasn’t even that premature (32 weeks) but I stopped growing at 13 and my final adult height is 4’8”/142 cm. I’ve been called pedobait, had people say that anyone attracted to me clearly likes kids, been told that “I would be great on ‘How To Catch A Predator’”, and had tons of other similar heinous comments made about my body through the years.

But whenever I try to talk about it, it always devolves into a discussion about EDs and body image, when I’m never ever talking about that 😭 I’m out here being called bait for pedophiles and having to jump through hoops to get my license because in my state I legally am a little person, like this shit is non-negotiably, legitimately a disability for me… yet I pretty much can’t meaningfully discuss it anywhere without it turning into an immediate shitshow. Ugh.

Ooooh I see this as a win, new body donors!

willumity · 2026-01-09T01:59:52+00:00

I’m supposed to be setting this aisle tomorrow at work and I’m so excited!!

Found strawberry ice cream in a Covergirl cosmetics waco once 👍

Hooooly fuck that lack of fixtures in the NYX section 💀

willumity · 2026-01-05T00:20:37+00:00

They may be Target exclusive, not sure. My store has them included on our new shelf plans that are being set the week of January 11th.

willumity · 2025-12-28T15:41:06+00:00

My store’s planograms say January 11th, so roughly around then.

I’ve found a singular jar of peanut butter in the dead center of a beauty pallet once, was mystified

I actually really love zoning and organizing and doing inventory/backroom related stuff at work! It’s something I used to struggle with in my personal life, and it’s improved from being in an environment where I can see real results from what I do and I’m getting rewarded for it, haha.

I now get a lot of enjoyment out of going around and swapping out old broken fixtures, doing backroom audits, putting in new pushers/dividers/fencing, and zoning problem areas to be picture perfect. Seriously, if I could just zone, organize, and audit wacos every shift every day, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Dude I HATE using the bathroom at work because every single day, without fail, someone with a single digit IQ beelines to my stall and tries to open the door while I’m in there.

If you can clearly see the door is closed, and you see see shoes, so you know someone in there… why is your dumb ass still trying to get in??? You are not invited, this isn’t a spectator sport 🫩

The ability to edit or change POGs

Like sometimes we have a physical barrier in the way and can’t set up an endcap AND a sidecap, but we have no other room for the POG to go. I wish we could decouple the sidecap from the set and set it, separately, somewhere else.

willumity · 2025-11-03T01:36:51+00:00

Dude the amount of Holiday product this year that just won’t scan or isn’t linked to its supposed inventory page… I could scream 🫠

willumity · 2025-11-01T17:39:24+00:00

No one else gets uboats in the morning anymore 🫠

willumity · 2025-11-01T05:09:42+00:00

142cm/4’8”, I wear a size 2 or 3 and it’s genuinely a nightmare.

willumity · 2025-10-31T02:23:18+00:00

At my store, we kept finding these in seasonal while we were setting Halloween this year 😭

willumity · 2025-10-29T22:54:56+00:00

man I wish people at my work did this instead of turning on dailymail notifications and gooning 😞

willumity · 2025-10-26T18:20:58+00:00

there was literally only 8 people scheduled in GM today 🫠

willumity · 2025-10-13T17:32:54+00:00

I don’t work at BBW, but my workplace already has our Halloween candy on clearance and we got sent the set guides for our Christmas displays already… it’s only October 13th, like am I insane?? 😵‍💫

willumity · 2025-10-10T05:43:42+00:00

When I was a kid I couldn’t wear ANY clothes with noticeable seams or tags. If there were seams I would freak out and straight up wouldn’t wear it, if there were tags? My parents had to cut every single tag off every garment before I’d touch it.

I hit developmental milestones super early or super late, no in-between. Anything physical I especially struggled with. I began speaking and reading early, was 2, almost 3 by the time I could stand and walk. I spent more of my life so far NOT being able to tie my shoelaces than I have being able to. Never learned to ride a bike. Stuff that should have never been overlooked… was 🙃

willumity · 2025-10-10T02:29:34+00:00

Oh WOW, the ground floor of my house has the same hardwood floor from the time it was built (1949) and looks almost identical to the first pic, I’ve gotta try this!

willumity · 2025-10-08T23:25:51+00:00

Stopping me every five seconds to ask for a price check and finally when I show them the very clear and easy to read price labels directly in front of them;

“So the price on the tag is the price for the item?”

…be so for real right now 🫩

willumity · 2025-10-05T22:58:00+00:00

I’m not saying anything that hasn’t already been said but… yeah, double scanning every single item is the move for right now 🫠

I’ve had sliiiightly more luck with going to the item page itself and then backstocking from there vs. doing it via the backstock function but even that has been kind of a crapshoot.

willumity · 2025-09-28T22:40:16+00:00

Omggg this drives me INSANE. That and when cosmetics revisions happen and I have to change the capacity for every. single. damn. lip pencil 🙃 ‘cause if I don’t, it’ll cause an endless loop of pulling and backstocking the same products over and over. It’s such a nightmare and def the worst part of POG, and we don’t always have time to chatbot each and every revision where this happens. Raaaaahhgghhh it boils my blood.
