What do you do when you close at 5 but someone comes in at 4:59?
I'm about to go to work in 30 minutes.
I had yesterday off and totally squandered it. All I did was masturbate all day.
This is a good question. I thought shops would have found a solution to this but I'm assuming shekelstien would rather force his wagie to work an extra half an hour unpaid incase he gets that sweet extra sale
>start new job in 2 hours
>last day at current job tomorrow afternoon
slightly less pay but also less shit and good god at least its not retail grocery
I unload trucks all day for $8.00 an hour and I can literally feel my body starting to break down.
It's interesting to realize that this is what I was worth as a human being.
Good luck user, wish you the best
>masturbated all day
>calls that squandering
Tell them we've already closed down the registers and we're not allowed to turn them back on.
>let me speak to your manager
Sorry ma'am, the manager already left, that's who told us to turn the registers off. We're terribly sorry we can't help you, come visit us again!

I thought these entry level jobs were supposed to be easy-going and stress-free. Apparently I'm still not qualified for even McDonalds though, so I can't just quit and get another job, and I don't want to accept the promotion to Store Manager. The salary is so low, with no overtime pay, so with the amount of hours I'd work, I'd be making LESS per hour than I do now.
>all for 11 bucks and hour, request for raise was declined
Fuck, there's yours problem. You need to leave asap and then laugh as that place burns to the ground. Try and laugh directly at the people who though it was good idea to not rehire people and pay exisintg staff shitty

from grocery days, old people. They'd argue about prices and sales and bring in paper catalogues and then complain about the service
imo the most stressful customers /I/ have to deal with are the ones who forget their wallets in their car somehow
another are the damn hispanic women who have 50 makeup products and have the coupons to make the entire order free, which takes forever because we have to key in the coupons manually AND read the coupon properly so we don't suffer losses.
I'm also a prime target for these kinds of customers whenever I'm alone so it just gets worse.
I used to be the fridge guy for a school district. 50k per year for mostly driving around and eating food. I love working for the government
>tfw got educated
>old wage slave jobs won't hire me back because I'm overqualified now
Same. Unless you have contacts to get you job or became a fking doctor or rockstar programmer (insert any location specific job in demand that is hard to learn) it seems there is no point anymore. If you also live not in US you cant even get into muh trades meme.
Well, its not like I wanted to pay bills, have pension, future or anything. why live

bumping because I don't want this beautiful thread to die
Work at Costco. The pay is decent, but I'm just a glorified wage slave.
I earn $20/h retail but its aud so like $15 usd an hour. Its fuck all money honestly. I dont even spend it and i think the stress from the job is making my hair fall out
at least I work without customer for a good chunk of my shift
I work with mainly women in data inputting for Scottish bank, they are all retarded mouthbreathing waste of space that always attempt to use me for manual labour or other kind of IT related thing.
I'm sick of it, i hate them genuinely. Hopefully it's going to finish soon so I can go to another department which won't be mostly female because working with them is insufferable.
Boomers are awful about this. They're all armchair managers. Old people come in are like "lol hire some people".
What do they expect you to do? Go grab some guy off the street, tell him to work, and pay him from the register?
They send their grandkids in to "shake the manager's hand" and ask for an application, or to just ask for a job (lol on that one). Wasting our time because there is only one response: apply online. They also follow the old belief that, if you call about your application, you have a better chance of getting a job. When in reality it just annoys us because we're busy. It's all automated, there is no need to call.
Boomers waste time, cause scenes, and blame the world for the problems they cause.
Lucky fuck. It's the exact opposite where I work. Cooks do fuck all and make shitty food plus fuck up orders all the time. On the floor we do everything and dont get as much leeway as the cooks because the owner is a bitch
>working among females
i know this feel. it's fucking insufferable.
Old people are a plague. They are convinced that they know everything and that the world revolve around them when they don't know shit. If you dare respond they act so offended
>>start new job in 2 hours
>>last day at current job tomorrow afternoon
>slightly less pay but also less shit and good god at least its not retail grocery
Good for u user
i am convinced i am not alive but just a phantom in this bag. the only thing I want now is kaleidoscope cameras and yelling voice giving me information of everything and anything while lifting 10000 pounds in 10 hours
I actually got my job by asking for the manager and handing him my CV. He hired me the same day.
>Employment situation here for young people is so bad that you're expected to work unskilled labour jobs unpaid for months at a time just for a chance at being hired
I've been an unpaid wagecuck before. Set me free.

> =120k per year
later faggots
it sucks something hard. Especially that the people we DO wind up hiring usually bail on us within a week and never show up again
Nobody wants to work in retail.
at least you're not a fucking NEET
>be a doctor
what kind of doc? surgeon?
Is it a local store or a big chain store?
I feel like with (almost) all big companies, you're forced to apply online, and usually have to take a shitty "behavioral assessment". Essentially a 100-300 question personality quiz.
I hate the assessment. So many stores do it. It's all so deceiving when you know how the system works. The applicant has no way of knowing whether he failed or passed. If he failed, the store never even receives his application. He won't be in the manager's system. As if the applicant never applied. So the applicant will call, asking about his application, and the manager doesn't even see the applicant in his system, and has no way of knowing what's wrong.
Did he fail the assessment?
Did he apply for a different store by accident?
Did he just fuck up completely and never clicked submit?
Is there a bug in the system?
Frustrates all parties involved. And then the applicant is blocked from applying for a period of time... but the system won't tell him this. It will let him apply as much as he wants, and just insta-deletes it when he's done!
It's all so scummy.
Start writing up some scripts bro. Robots need their medicine.
Oink oink bonny
>Is it a local store or a big chain store?
Franchise.
I don't know why I'm even trying. I'm too dumb and incompetent to have any kind of even mediocre life. They should just legalize euthanasia for people like me, the capitalists would even profit from it and would get better unemployed stats.
special dentist
it's really nice sometimes because all you have to do is speak a little to people and check their mouth
Sometimes there is things like dental area surgeons and orthodontics stuff.
Fuck this. I work on a call center until 9 pm and it really pisses me off when people call at 8:59.
Those that think I'm some kind of wizard that magically can fix all their problems.
>he doesn't take his lunch break at 8:30 and spend the last half hour of his shift in the bathroom jacking off and eating a sandwich
I'm not going to work seven hours without a break, especially since lately I can't even get five seconds between calls and my manager would give me shit if a take my break so late.
>$8.00 an hour
Jesus Christ, user. Your body is worth more than that. Find an alternative.
Used to unload trucks for a second job but stopped due to it being not worth it
Holy shit are you me? Pic related is what my office is like everyday.
If you work the hours it shouldn't matter when you take the break. He'll just be mad he didn't think of it first. And you could always bounce the people who call at 8:59 around a few different departments until it's your time to punch out.
Guys I think the work world will kill me. Living in third world shithole means working 12h + hour of commute a day 2-3 shift work and I get 1 day off on sunday. All this for pay I can't survive. This is real wageslave and there is no way out. So unless I luck out somehow and get better paid job somewhere I will die in poverty or stress or because it is physically demanding.
>customer buys minutes for a phone, a gift card, a video game card, a moneypak, or ANY kind of prepaid card
>roughly a 50% chance they will return to the store within 24 hours enraged
They don't know how to use the cards, or they buy the wrong ones (most common), which means "the card doesn't work" or "you rang it up wrong". They can't be refunded, the register won't even let you try to refund it, it can't be exchanged, there's nothing that can be done. The store can't do anything, the company that makes the prepaid card in question will just tell the customer that it's the store's fault.
I get death threats every week because people spend hundreds on the wrong card and somehow it's my fault. I hate it.
(if it's a regular customer, and a small amount, like a $25 gift card, I'll do a "paid out", give the customer the cash as a "refund", and keep the card in the store for our records. when upper management asks why I did an unauthorized paid out, I'll be like "just going above and beyond for the customer! :D" and they're like "o-oh, yeah, g-good work..." But I'd never be able to get away with it for the majority of cases.)
Joke of the day - How much do you have to hate people to become dentist?

>Work in a warehouse

>"No? It doesn't matter when I go because I still do the same amount of work."

The solution is to use one of those leg piss bags like Hillary uses.
Try having a boss who doesn't even let you go to toilet or demands his employees to only going to toilet once every 6 hours
I thought I am not in elementary school anymore but now I have to be a robot.
Should I get a ps3 or ps4 for when I come back to apartment after work ? I like playing vidya but left my gayming PC back home, and don't have much to build another gayming pc. I like newer games but my TV is not 4k should I get a used ps3 or a ps4 slim ? I want the os4 because new games but I havent really played the ps3 library either
Also, I eat oats and eggs for breakfast, any other quick tasty alternatives I can cook before commuting every morning ?
How do I make employees do stuff? Nobody ever does anything I ask them to do.
If I ask nicely they say they'll do it and then I show up the next day and they didn't even attempt it.
If I'm mean they just quit.
If I micromanage they get stressed and just have breakdowns.
If I give them a lot of leeway, they get lazy and do the bare minimum.
I'm a short skinny guy so nobody has any respect for me. I think it's primitive instincts. Their subconscious mind thinks "I could break this punk" and so they have no desire to help me.
I just ignored them and continued doing it.
One day they pulled the ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT of doing a 100% staff search on the way out. The people at the back of the queue got out 2 hours late. Unpaid.
Now if they ever ask me why I go for a piss so late I say "What if there's a 100% staff search again? :^)"
So what fag? Here in Brazil I would make 1 dollar for unloading trucks check your fucking previlege
flip a coin senpai games are games
if you want to save money then get a three.
I don't think there's a good alternative to oatz, but I like to slice a banana in there.
I don't really mind when customers come in right before closing. I just lock the door so nobody else can come in. So they can just shop all by themselves and I can finish up other work in peace.
And of course it's a bit more money for me. Management doesn't want us staying late because they have to pay us. But they can't punish us for improving the customer's experience!

I majored in Film at a shitty state university and managed to get a videographer position in a tech company. Gonna be working full time in the office after I graduate in a couple weeks. $14.50 an hour right now, not the best but it's way more security than I was hoping for when I went into the major. Gonna ask for a raise soon. Pretty comfy job and little stress, not much oversight on what I'm doing since I'm the only one in the company with the skillset, much better than the engineers here who seem strung the fuck out. Plus I have a bigger desk than them.
>tfw co-workers talk about how pathetic they think it is for someone to live at home
fuck y'all
we had a short mexican guy and it was alot like that for him.people didnt take him seriously and eventually he was demoted.
for me i liked him because he didnt care if i had earphones on and he gave basic respect while also doing the shit--tier work like pushing carts
honestly your your intimidation factor matters but its hard to balance niceness/assertiveness
i supervise produce and dairy but nobody gives me shit cause im layback fit and 6'3
I straight up tell them we close in a minute and they got to be quick about it.
When that gate is on it's way down, you're not getting in. I got places to be, I got a life outside of this job. Have a little respect for that. You dont pay nearly enough to warrant me keeping the place open another 15 minutes because you suddenly got cravings for brownies at 11 pm.

There are countries that being from give you the right to say things like that. Brazil is not one of them.
I hope your back gives out and you lose your job and you become a cumbersome burden on your family.
I get this shit almost every single day, I work as a phlebotomist in places anyone can walk into and the decision tree goes like this for me:
>If they're in a wheelchair, assisted by people because they have a mental disability, I'm going to try and help them provided they have a valid order. I'll be pissed about it but I won't be rude.
>If it's some random asshole who "Just wanted to come in when they got out of work " If they don't have an order I'll tell then their Drs office is probably closed so I'm not waiting around for 15 mins for paperwork to be faxed, if it even does. If they have an order I'll look up the requirements and try to Jew my way out of drawing the blood if they have to be drawn before 9am for instance or they can't eat for 12 hours, things like that which I COULD ignore but because I'm actually correct, I argue with them that I can't. Usually people get it.
> If someone comes in with multiple young children or a wild little kid, I automatically turn them away explaining I usually need a second person to hold the kid steady and its a safety issue. This is actually supported by my superiors because needlesticks get you in trouble with the state.
But the most sneaky Jewish shit I do is turn the lights off or hide the ability to check in about 2 or 3 mins before, and I'll wait in the dark til people leave and give up if they haven't spotted me. It sounds lazy, and non compassionate but hear me out. When your lazy ass decides to get your blood taken last minute I have to spend X amount of time finding your order, X amount of time inputting it which is bitch if it's manual, X amount of time between finding your vein then drawing each tube, and finally a minimum of 15 mins for your blood to clot, then a minimum of 15 mins to centrifuge(if you don't want me to be a faggot and centrifuge it earlier than I should, which fucks up results).
Don't be that guy who goes to your local lab last minute, make time to do it another time.

This job was a fine job, I just hated my life working there. Know 40 hours a week were spent doing this JUST TO LIVE was making me crazy. Soon I'll have no health insurance again and barely any money to last more that 2 months. I've got some fall back stuff but I just dont know what to do anymore. Honestly, suicide is better than this if this is what my life has to be as an adult. I live in the USA so no neet bucks, no government hand out, just homelessness if I cant get a job I like.

Iam a postie, slighly higher than minimum wage pay, come to the office, sort mail and parcels, leave the office and enjoy working outdoors (or not if it pissing down with rain) with no boss behind my back and no customers.
I still hate this job but when I think about it jobs requiring no qualification other than a driving license that pay as much simply dont exist.
I have worked in customer service before and almost killed myself
