To That One Guest - II

[FlowTeamChick]

TTOG shopping for a Shipt order: Maybe next time actually take the time to read the box before you come get me and say you can't find something? The product was right where it was supposed to be, but you had to pick up the box to see the 0.35 ounce part that was hiding behind the self-pusher fixture to know if you'd found the right thing.

TTOG who purposely didn’t pay attention to me saying my lane is closed, I don’t feel bad for you having to put everything back in your cart and wait in line again. I told you multiple times that I’m closed and my light was off. I legally had to go to lunch very soon. We (for some reason I don’t understand) had multiple other lanes open at the same time with no wait. For some reason you wanted to make me late for my lunch. You had options I didn’t

Some guests have complained to me about the ice cream. I tell them store brands aren't usually high quality.

One exception is Aldi Specifically Selected.

Even the name brands aren't that high quality, although Tillamook comes close to the ice cream of that size. Dryer's and Breyer's are far behind, although the latter used to be high quality until Unilever bought them out.

If a guest asks me for a recommendation, I would say if you have ice cream just for yourself, try some of the classic flavors of Haagen Dazs, which has only all natural ingredients.

There's no such thing as a 1.5 L ice cream but there is a 1.5 quart version.

Pro ice cream tip: Say it then look it up OVERRUN, STABILIZERS

And the gums are stabilizers which Tillamook, Dreyers/Edy's and Breyer's have. Aldi Specialty Selected vanilla 48 -- in addition to some others flavors I think -- and some of Haagen Dazs ice cream just have natural ingredients such as cream and eggs. But, yes, do look at the ingredients list.

Some people complain Haagen Dazs is hard to scoop out. But that's because it's solid ice cream. In other words, it doesn't have any overrun.

No idea what is in McD's what they call ice cream but when you need a fix, it gets the job done.

It's reduced fat ice cream that has a bunch of junk in it.

Going back to the thread, I remember guests complaining about the ice cream at Food Avenue.

 

[Captain Orca]

The differentiating factor between ice cream and frozen dairy dessert is the butterfat content. Not a purist here, grocery store house brands are good enough for this old redneck. Weis has a rather nice low fat low sugar product, reasonably priced with unfortunately only four flavors. We tried Tillamook, nothing to get excited over. Trendy woodsy name with a chunky cylindrical package with nice pictures. Next time I get ammo at Wally I'll pick up a container of Great Value I/C and give it a try.

TTOG - yes, I have to card you for cough medicine. No, I can't take a picture of your ID. No, actually, I DO have to card you for this, the prompt is right on the screen.

Guy kept insisting I didn't need to card him and I just called a manager over and told them the guest refused to produce ID so they knew the shit they were walking into.

Absolutely HATED this when I was in the front end.

TTOG: No we don't have chewable carotene or any type of "just carotene" product. (Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's contained in some of the other vitamin products though.) Sorry that you apparently misread your search results incorrectly, but go ahead and look around as long as you like.

 

[FlowTeamChick]

TTOG: Really, you think it's cool to leave a pomegranate with a long slice in one side just sitting on a shelf? Were you playing catch with it? Because it looked like maybe it had hit the edge of a shelf, and broke open enough that it splattered some juice on the shelf and nearby product and then leaked more juice where it sat all night.
Fortunately, the product was in plastic bags [Quest protein chips] and I could clean off the dried juice. But it wasn't the kind of thing I needed to deal with today. Go somewhere else with your obnoxious behavior.

Carrots have carotene and are chewable. Target does sell these. You could have taken her to the carrots LOL. My apologies if you don’t like my smart ass humor.

To All Those Guests calling about the damn bears: They're gone, we're not getting any more & NO, there aren't any 'hidden away'. They were gone within the first half hour after we opened & going for $400 online before day's end.
Idiots.

 

[Captain Orca]

What bears? We used to get the idiot grown men stand in line before opening waiting for Hot Wheels.

Starbucks mugs

 

[Captain Orca]

The mug thing again? Like the coffee mug bullshit last year? I use my black Texaco gas station coffee mug daily for the last 25 years. I think I got it free when I filled up the car. People are insane.

I love it! My mom used to tell me that if I needed iron I could eat a nail.🤣

TTOG who used the restroom today see a doctor. I had to ask our PML how to flush it. I ended up plunging it. I don’t know how you produced it. See a doctor. It spilled out of the toilet. You need to see a doctor

I first thought it was a TikTok prank due to the size

 

[FlowTeamChick]

TTOG: Over the years I've been at Target, I've found some kinda gross things left behind on shelves. But a used q-tip? And not just a little used - both ends were covered with your ear wax. The restroom by the pharmacy was just a few steps away. There's a spill station with a trash bin nearby as well. But leaving it on a shelf is what you thought was acceptable.
Nope, that's disgusting.

Okay, so this is the kind of thing no one likes to talk about, but back when I did in-home elder care, one of my clients really was a "little old lady" with dementia. I was there in the early mornings to prepare her breakfast, help her wash up and get dressed, and then I dropped her off at a day care facility. (Her daughter lived with her and worked during the day.)
Anyway, she had infrequent BMs, only one every 3 or 4 days. And I was with her for only a few hours per visit, 3 days a week. So it didn't happen very often but it finally did and I was amazed at the size of it. How does a tiny woman produce such a big poop?! It really was impressive. Because she had mobility issues and the only bathroom in the house was upstairs, there was a commode on the first floor that she used once she was downstairs for the day. That turned out to be a good thing because it allowed me to flush it in smaller pieces; I think it would have clogged the toilet to try and flush it all at once.
I tell you what, that job really was fun in some ways and I met a lot of very interesting people. But some tasks were not so great; that one was one the more memorable ones with a high "ick" factor.

Did you check the pharm shelves for empty docusate sodium and sennosides 50mg & 8.6mg respectively. It's the bomb.

Washington State imposes a user fee on plastic bags. It's 8 cents plus 1 cent sales tax, so it's 9 cents. While about a fourth of our guests bring in their own bag, and a majority don't want a bag and just carry their items or place them back in their cart, about a fourth of guests purchase our very nice heavy-duty plastic bags.

In theory, when a guest places an online order they are asked if they want plastic bags or not. Well, due to the intricate details of getting drive-up and order pick-up fulfillment in an accurate manner, some orders are placed in bags. When they come up to the service desk or we bring their stuff out to their vehicle, we usually ask if they want the bags but sometimes when there are distractions (the drive-up app has another honk-honk signifying yet another Drive-Up has arrived, or there's a long line of folks at the service desk), we forget to ask.

Well, a few days ago had a drive-up desk whose order was fulfilled within two bags. I overlooked asking if they wanted the bags, sometimes the system bypasses the "bag quantity" question and doesn't even charge for the bags. I forgot to ask, or to zero out the bags. This guest really became annoyed and grouchy about the two bags. He was evidently really ticked off at paying the 18 cents, even given that our order-pickup service has no service charge (free) and he can't even buy the tiniest fraction of a gallon of gas. I told him I had no way of reversing the charge on our system, he could come inside. I had two other drive-ups which had arrived and had to hustle....... well.......

While he was quite pushy and irritating, he wasn't overtly rude. He eventually came in the store to service desk, fortunately I was able to help him and just took the 18 cents out of the drawer, told him we have to hustle and apologized. I told my ETL after leaving a post-it note about the 18 cents. He said I did the right thing.

This struck me as an example where a guest used up a lot of his own time, and a great deal of our time, trying to be right about a really trivial matter. It kind of annoyed me for awhile, he wanted to keep talking about this and I just wanted him to take the refunded money, leave us the bags if he truly didn't want them. Reminds me of an old story called "Rage Over a Lost Penny".
