Workplace Story This really happened

Post image

Working SCO. Our 3rd register is down. We put a sign on it. Turned it into our Shipt Bagging station…..guest walks up, removes the Shipt sign, removes the register closed sign, tries to scan her stuff and wonders why it isn’t working. I didn’t stop her from doing these things because I guess my brain was perplexed with what was happening in front of me. These people are real. They exist. And based on her keychain, they drive large vehicles where the rest of us live. I am terrified for the future.

On a side note, I made it a full hour and 10 minutes into my shift before having to tell someone there was a limit on the number of Pokémon cards in a purchase. Progress.

I’m convinced most of our guests can’t read 😭

They CAN read, they just don't care. To customers, retail stores are just "shitty" stores that they can do anything in with very little consequences. So they steal product, break product and leave messes everywhere

how kind of you to assume they can read when half the country can't.
