Please make sure that when you shopper at TJ's, or any retail store really, you are mindful and gracious towards your local essential workers. Here is a list of the following things to keep in mind:
> Don't try to barter prices with people who have no power over them
>You're not going to love every free sample, but don't complain about them
>It's much more helpful if you throw away your trash
Whether you're at the demo station or elsewhere around the store, it's super important to pick up your trash.

Leaving empty cups and open packages is unsanitary and a nuisance to employees.
>Don't blame the employees for the store's small parking lot
>Forgetting to put your cart back makes everyone's job harder
Leaving carts all over is a headache and wastes space in what's usually an already small lot.

There are several designated areas where you can return your cart, which helps the employees keep the space neat and safe for everyone.
Leaving carts all over is a headache and wastes space in what's usually an already small lot.
>If you need help with something, please ask nicely
>The cashiers are trying to keep the line moving, so be patient
>If you have a big shopping list, don't come right before closing
>Try coming in at least an hour before closing if you have a huge list.

The night crew working the last shift has to stay until every customer leaves, so coming in 10 minutes before closing can cause the employees to stay longer than they're supposed to.
>If Trader Joe's has discontinued a product, there's no use arguing about it
>The employees aren't forced to be happy, so don't treat them like robots

$35k seems exactly what someone working at Trader Joe's or Target should make. Thats barely enough money to live for doing a job that basically anyone can do.

Thats only decent money if you have no expenses other than entertainment for one at home because you live with your parents, have no friends, and can't/don't date.

And somebody stole one(1) tube of KY jelly once a week, every week, and we were never able to catch them. After a while it wasn't even about product loss, we just wanted to see who the master thief was who went through one tube of KY a week.

I was a greasy, long-haired full-time night stocker at a grocery store for 4 years in my 20's; I had exactly one negative customer experience, zero negative experiences with my bosses (including the ones other employees claimed were "assholes"), was chewed out zero times, and saw easily 100 employees fired/walk out within a week of starting.

Anytime I see someone complain about retail I instantly know they are lazy, inattentive, incompetent or rude, because after literally thousands of times helping customers with problems, most of which had nothing that could be done about, I had one that didn't end with "Oh it's not your fault, thank you for your help".

pls all these fake ''employee tips'' etc is the new form of guerilla marketing.

Oh I've been aware. I'm just commenting on the fact I particularly dislike this flavor of ''organic'' (tm) consumer opinion pieces. It's all marketing media placements.
I noticed it first a few years ago when employees started posting TikTok hacks and never got retribution in terms of privacy policy.
I think the brands just watched the positive response in terms of marketing, customers going out to try ''secret menus'' or ''tricks/tips''...etc
I just don't like this script flip of it being a ''former employee'' dishing out secrets etc.

Yeah? $35k is nothing. You can drive a fork lift and make that. If you go to a trade school you can be making $60k+ in commercial HVAC+R within 2 years(1 year of school, 1 year in the field where you still might make like $48k).

So what? They're working in a role notorious for being shit. They don't really have anything to complain about considering how there are a million other jobs you could get at the same pay level that aren't shit. I worked shitty jobs like this when I was younger, when I got tired of one I could just quit and easily find another shitty low-paying job requiring 0 experience like this and hop around until you find something good. I have 0 sympathy for people who work shit jobs like this like at giant corporations that throw you under the bus like Walmart or super shitty consumer facing stuff like grocery stores or movie theaters. Go find a small business that will treat you like a human being or a corporate job that's not consumer facing if you don't like it. It's not super hard, these jobs don't require any credentials.

Okay, then talk with your union rep about having store hours officially pushed back so that the store closes at 8:45.
One of my favorite local restaurants is closed 2/7 days a week and only operates from 4pm to 8pm, it's obvious that the limited hours are there for employee benefit, and the employees are likewise very obviously happy, I don't mind limited hours.
I do mind being told that I can come in until a certain time and then you pissing your pants when I'm explicitly fucking allowed to be there you fucking faggot.

Friendly reminder this belief originates in leftists trying to instil a sense of class camaraderie. That is, they’re saying “the working class should work together to scam as much money off the owners of the means of production as possible”. In this scenario, they’re trying to convince shoppers to help wagies get paid for not doing their job, because it means less of the wagie’s labour is being ‘stolen’ by his ‘capitalist’ boss.

Most higher-end trade certifications like HVAC and plumbing only cost a couple grand. You can do the shittier jobs like roofing with basically no experience. Plenty of states also offer free community college, which you can switch out of to a state school with cheap in-state tuition that's covered by federal student loans.
