The Things Guests Do/Pet Peeves Thread

I don't see what's wrong with that, personally. As long as I'm not touching anything but the box or it isn't those little baby food pouches.

It usually is the baby food pouches since kids have no self-control, but one time a guy ate a candy bar in front of me as soon as I scanned it and then asked me to throw out the wrapper. As long as they pay, I guess it's not a problem, but my parents always told me you're not supposed to eat food while you're buying it, so it feels wrong to me.

Also, where's the self control? If you don't eat those Cheetos right this very second, you will die? What fuck face adult can't feed themselves so they don't get to that point of hunger? Wait 10 minutes and pay for your shit first, rather than eating it and trying to pay at the same time like an irresponsible self entitled dipshit.

Seriously, if you can't possibly wait until you've cashed out, then stop at Food Ave or something before you start shopping.

I would zip-tie them flat so they can't be opened for sitting.

I've said it before, redeye58, I like how you think 😀.

To all those TMs who come over for ice water: STOP REACHING INTO MY PREP AREA!!!
You're grabbing cups, lids & straws without regard to where your hands have been & it's disgusting.
Don't make me get out the degreaser.

And you know she'll do it😱!

Another one is leaving the wave sitting in the middle of the aisle of an already over crowded backroom. Pulling BTS items was NOT fun because of that

Our backroom is so bad about that. The only time the waves are all in the same place is first thing in the morning, during the unload. After that...good luck.

Why a few of us have been known to hide them in the worst places possible to get them back out. Oh in the back corner with three pallets stacked infront and no pallet jacks left with them. Yeah we don't play nice. We have one backroom rule: Put your toys/equipment away for the next person.

Rotating announcements....one of my stores has started making announcements every 45 minutes or so.....in English AND Spanish!

I would seriously lose my shit if I found the WAVe in the far end of the vendor aisle behind a bunch of Pepsi pallets.

HEADS WOULD ROLL.

Luckily, the only time our WAVes are ever in the way is when they're being used, and everyone parks them out of the way.

We have people who don't get it and they only learn the hard way. Hiding them is the hard way.

Not anything to do with the job, but it's Aisle, not Isle. An Isle is a small island.....an Aisle is something you walk down.

THANK YOU. Also, it's baler, not bailer. The machine doesn't bail you out, it compresses large amounts of cardboard so you can make a bale.

Recently mine would be taking all the requisitioned food in the break room. I swear there was a whole load of bread in there but when I came back for my 30, shit was gone. Someone just took the whole thing.
One TM actually threw a whole box of blueberry pie oreos in the trash. It wasnt even empty! I was LIVID

 

[aj76257]

People who can't resist opening a box of food and eating it before checking out bother me

Today I learned that my own ETL-GE does this. All my hope is lost.

Watched a pack of wild wolves kids take everything off every bottom hook in one poor cashier's lane tonight. The mother said, no, you can't have those, and the kids just dumped them on the ledge. I was headed that way and just glared at them with a raised eyebrow. She just let her little monsters get away with making a mess.

That mom sounds like a real Shiksa!!

People who don't knock but go ahead and try to shove the bathroom door open. One of our TM bathrooms has a fucked up lock because of this.

Someone actually walked in on an ETL when they were in the bathroom....

Did he/she try to get them to sign up for a red card? When I used to work there they'd probably expect us to.

Oh no this was another team member that did that. But this new GSTL at my store is so obsessed with redcards that if she went into a bathroom and broke the stall door down and asked the frightened guest if they wanted to save 5% with a redcard I would not be surprised

 

[redeye58]

Always said they should plaster the bathroom stall walls with all the red card perks because, captive audience.

That actually could be a good thing to do in the fitting rooms too

Hiding the mydevices is another. Not just taking all of them but actually HIDING them. Our flow team does this all the time and I had to bum one off of the pricing TM just to tie my POGs. After clearing some shelves I found several mydevices strategically hidden behind all the merchandise

 

[Circle9]

That reminds me: When I'm asking for equipment or anything else and I get total silence. Maybe a halfassed "c'mon guys, help him out. Anyone?" from the LOD. That's it usually.

Also people who say the same thing too often. Have an ETL who it doesn't matter if this is the first or seventh time he saw you today. Every time he'll ask "How's it going?" Makes me wonder if I gave a wrong answer the first time or something.

 

[SalesFloorSylph]

Oh you need equipment to set POGs/backstock/pull/do instocks? Hahahaha no we won't help you out because flow took all the mydevices and the only functioning piece of equipment left is being used by that noob over there who's just doing reshop
