    When I get called to open a checkout because some lazy fuck doesn’t want to use the self service, I take my sweet fucking time, I’ll fuck up scanning and have to re scan, I’ll just straight up stare into the void for some time, anything I can to make the situation as long and frustrating as possible.

    I had one lady go " I bet I saved you from a crappy job" I just said " Nah, you’ve actually put me behind in my job and now I have to bust my ass to get back on track because you needed to be served."

    The only good thing about your store being run with a skeleton crew is they are less likely to fire you for being a dick to customers.

    I don’t get paid to listen to your entitled bullshit.

    I have no problem serving the elderly tho, unless they’re dicks about it. Then they get treated same way everyone else does.

        I didn’t say I hated my job, I like my job, but my job isn’t serving people on checkout, I get pulled away from my job that I like doing because of entitled customers who have this need to be served.

        No one wants to work on checkout, customers need to buy their stuff, so self service is the current option.

        don’t abuse the customers

        Well can customers stop abusing us because of a decision corporate made? I get abused on the daily because customers are rightfully angry at the company, but wrongly attack the staff who have abso-fucking-lutely no control over the situation.

        Abuse corporate, ring those assholes and make their days shit, don’t attack us underpaid shit kickers who are living paycheck to paycheck because some corporate cunt wants a bonus this year.

        We’ve had customers physically attack my co-workers over this, it’s pathetic and childish, but we’re the assholes.

        I don’t agree with the person you’re talking to, but in the US, “just quitting” often isn’t an approachable option.

        People who think one can causally quit is more often than not luxuriating in privilege, be it family support or your own funds.

        For millions of Americans, the choice is between a job that makes them want to die, or taking the next step and quitting to die in the gutter, because land of the greedy, home of the unshackled sociopaths.
