Why did my wife leave me?

>>18736745
Well, at least one of you has to be a horrible person, so dwell on that a bit until you provide context.

Pickled jalapenos are in isle 6 with the canned veggies & soups.

>>18736745
Because you tried to put a brave face om your writer's block and impending burnout and the lies about everything being fine and your thesis being definitely almost done, trust me, while you were actually playing video games the whole time instead of writing and the anxiety kept rising as the lies compounded and this made it even harder to get any work done poisoned your relationship.

>>18736744
You know what really grinds my gears? When someone asks me for help and then like 2 or 3 other customers decide to ask for help at the same time. Right when I'm the middle of helping the first person out

everyone's worked retail before, jackass. you're not exactly revealing the secret recipe here.

Also, produce chads rise up, we have the easiest jobs in the whole store, after the flower section.
98%of our job is just looking at what's missing from the shelves out on the floor, grabbing boxes of fruits and veggies to put on a cart, and filling up the displays while fucking around on our phones and listening to music or podcasts the entire time, being lasy fucks. The other 2% consists of actual work when we have to unload weekley shipments and organize the walk-in.
>>18736750
Damn, dude. Have a beer or two maybe.

>>18736758
What fucks with me worse is when customers ask for directions to a specific thing, then getting bleeped at on the walky talky for a cleanup of that very same thing.
I hare old people so much.
>>18736761
Coulda fooled me if there weren't so many people that haven't and act like retards about it.

>>18736769
go blog somewhere else.

>>18736744
OP, I'm impressed.
Not only are you using an ancient meme, you're combining it with another that's literally older than this website to write the most zoomer post ever prosed.
I can't even imagine any audience other than me that would appreciate how fucking dumb you are. It's incredible, and I salute you.

By the way, Iron Giant is a fantastic movie. I know you haven't seen it, but you should give it a shot.

>>18736744
So does the girl running the self checkout think I'm cute? Or is she just being polite

>>18736774
Cheers, though I have a child that's probably as old as you think I am.

Back the the meme of "the back" being a magical realm where everything you could want exists, store do tend to have an abundance of loot back there. However, those things never had displays. Want some sort of unheard of niche energy drink and ask me to find it? Sure, we have half a pallet of it that's been in the same place for over 6 months.

>>18736744
>Pro gamer tip: if it's not on the floor, it's not "in the back" where it magically exists.
Incorrect, but maybe it varies from store to store.
>>18736769
Old people are a god damned blight.

>>18736788
>though I have a child that's probably as old as you think I am.
Then stop fucking posting like them, idiot

>>18736744
>"in the back"
in grade 9 I worked at Zellers for half a year and I never was told or bothered to learn how stuff was stored in the back so any time someone asked me to check for them I'd tell them I'd go look and then walk in the closest door to the back and the walk to the other door and exit to find them and say it looks like we're all out

>>18736805
Nah. Keep up with the times, grandpa. Zoom zoom!
>>18736790
I worked in produce. It probably varies with nonperishable goods, sure, but us produce and deli guys knew that corner of the store like the backs of our hands. All we'd do is just restock shelves, and we knew exactly how much of any given thing available, given we also unpacked the weekly pallets and such.

>>18736813
can I date your daughter?

>>18736817
Sure, if you can manage to cuck her husband.

For produce, if you want something specific for a certain day and want to make sure we have it, you can call the store and request the wagies keep it ready for you. Had a kind old lady call me requesting 2 containers of blueberries once, and we set them aside just for her.

>>18736744
>be shopping with mom once
>out of some salad dressing
>she asks wagie if there is any that hasnt been stocked yet
>he looks it up on his little tablet thing
>there is some salad dressing in the back that hasn't been stocked yet
>he goes to the back and gets the salad dressing
Every time I see some walmart cart pushing reject try to shame people for asking this I always remember this experience
I bet you felt like a real badass typing this out though, you really showed those ignorant fucking dregs how superior you are by blasting this notion that maybe objects don't just teleport off the truck on to the shelf

Ah, also, for any shoplifters,
Not only does your average wagie not care enough to stop you, to the point where even when we see you stuffing a sirloin down your pants, about half of the cameras you see in the store are fake. They're just there to deter theft. Yes, there is a computer with all the camera feed on it, but there's only about 8 feeds and literally nobody is ever there constantly watching them.
If you want to steal, your best bet is to grab something and stash it as youre turning a corner in the blind spots.
Also, with self checkout, you can only scan about half your items. Just go through the motions of scanning the other shit so it looks legit. The wagies that oversee the self checkout lanes hear nothing but beeping all day every day, so they try not to focus on it. Just don't look shady, and you're fine.

>>18736864
What the hell sorta grocery store has tablets provided for wagies to look up what's in stock? What sort of space age utopia do you live in and how do I get there?

>>18736876
Literally walmart bro, this was in like 2012 too.
He just looked it up on his little scanner gun and said "yeah there's some in the back" and went and got it
I mean obviously the odds of this happening are pretty slim, but yeah, pallets don't get broken down in a matter of seconds, so sometimes there IS some "in the back" so these "le jaded former grocery store worker" fags can blow it out their ass.
Lazy, entitled, and smell like BO.

>>18736892
Well, damn. Reminds me of the time when I tried fast food again years ago and saw those fancy touch screen soda fountains. Shit's neat

>>18736744
ah, yes.
it's a another "op reveals himself to be an underachiever" thread.
you're supposed to:
>go in the back
>find the cute girl
>flirt
>setup a date

>>18736864
>posts anime
>thinks they're correct
anon...

I briefly worked at one of the largest and busiest walmarts in north america between jobs a few years ago. We had scanners that were basically smartphones with barcode readers. We could scan a barcode, and it wouldn't just tell us if it was in the back, but also tell us exactly where in the back it was located, as our backroom was huge and spanned both floors. Being such a large and busy store meant that the inventory data on the scanner wasn't always correct. But if a customer asked if something was in the back, and the scanner gave me a backroom location, I'd tell the customer "This thing isn't always accurate, but it's telling me that we have it, so the odds are pretty good. I'll go take a look and be right back." And 7 out of 8 times, it'd be there. And if I wasn't in the middle of something urgent like a truck unload, I'd bring the whole case out and restock the shelf, and thank the customer for letting us know that the item in question was in need of restocking.

So, I'm tempted to say that OP is full of shit, but to be fair, he might not have had the kind of useful scanners that we did.

>minimum-wagie is both lazy and a drug addict
Checks out

>>18736788
Fucking storefloor scum churning out more poor people for productive members of society to prop up. Don't breed if you don't lead.

>>18736744
I FIND STUFF IN THE BACK SOMETIMES...I MIGHT CHECK MY PHONE REAL QUICK BUT ID RATHER GET THE FUCKER OUTTA MY STORE THAN KEEP HIM WAITING

>>18737489
Its not the scanners that he was missing, lad. What he’s missing is the thread of decency that binds normal people together.

>>18737737
The fuck is wrong with you?

>>18737489
Not all companies use that system. At jewel, we still have to count everything by hand during inventory. Recently they switched the ordering from a scan gun to an ipad app (which keeps track of what we ordered, but not necessarily received), but the manager and his lackey like to hog the two ipads we have for ordering. And since we're a small store, there's no room to "put stuff in the back", everything we get goes to the floor and only backstock gets put aside (at night). I'll still check if you ask, but if you don't see it on the shelf, and if I don't see it on any cart on the floor, we (90%) don't have it
