shytty retail job stories

[LezJepzin]

WE HAD THIS MANAGER THAT WAS A REAL a$$hole AT KMART. SOME CUSTOMERS CAME IN ONE DAY WITH CROWBARS LOOKING FOR THIS NIKKA. THEY BROKE SOME SCREENS AND SHYT AND MADE A BUNCH OF NOISE. THIS bytch MADE ASS NIKKA MAKES A THE FASTEST 100 YARD DASH AND LOCKED HIMSELF IN THE CASH CAGE. WE LEFT HIS ASS IN THERE UNTIL CLOSE. WE WAS GONNA LEAVE HIM IN THERE TILL MORNING BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS AIR TIGHT.

Kmart is fukked up man. There's one by me that's been looking the same inside for the last 20 years. I remember I was at one in South Sac after church with my mom when some nikka held the store hostage for over an hour . It was all over the news and shyt.

My homie used to work at one in Placerville (40 miles East of Sac) and some dude took a shyt in the shoe dept.

The thing is it's not even about the company, I could really give a fukk about their money because they paid shytty and the customers were dikks and I hated that job. It was more a personal thing, like I got suckered and I took that shyt personal. I wish I would've seen that nikka again I probably wouldn't have done anything but still...fukk him.

That's exactly what happened to me.

And I feel the same way @ bolded. It was more of, "How the fukk did I not catch that?" And I didn't wanna lose my job because I really needed the money at the time.

I worked at JC Penny's for like a year in hs at a mall that really only old white people went to, I worked the shoe department, I'm at work one day and this old white lady comes, picks out 3 shoes and asked me to bring her like a 6 in all three. For those who have no idea what the salesperson does when they go in the storeroom to get your shoes, you track them down by a number (and they aren't always in order), and a lot of times the box you want is under like 10 boxes, may even have to climb a ladder to get to it without knocking the other boxes over. So I bring the lady the shoes she asked for, she tries them on, then asks for all the shoes in a 6 1/2 I'm like . I go get them for her, she tries them on, then asks for all of them in a 7, by then in like Aight bytch damn. I bring those to her, she tries them on, looks at them in the mirror for like 10 minutes skr8, takes em back off and says " I'm good" and leaves, I just stood there as she walked off like

Doing the same shyt right now. Typical day

this isn't really retail but i used to work for taco bell and things were cool until a new fakkit manager came in and started trying to bust balls. fired almost everyone there and brought in people that worked at some kfc he was transferring over from. i don't know why they let me stay, but i was pretty much to the point of quitting.

this guy complained about EVERYTHING, and the people he hired were all a$$holes. very cliquish. anyway, before i quit from there, i finally decided to get back at them. i brought a bag of shyt (about three or four lumps i dropped the previous night). i never ate the food there, but the people i worked with did, including the manager. anyway, i decided to mix the shyt i brought in with the beef. i stirred it real good, so that there wasn't any chance of them finding it.

i feel sorry for the people who bought tacos made with my shyt, but you can imagine the huge grin on my face when my co-workers would go on break and have a beef taco for themselves. they used to ask me why i never ate any of the food, and i would tell them i only eat halal meat.

That ain't cool or funny at all.

My first job was at that retail store Hot Topics. I was the only normal looking one there, the rest were emo goth kids. They were cool but that job sucked ass. 8 hours of folding tshirts and standing by the entrance. Everyday felt like an eternity. I'm glad I did it though cause it made me want to get a career and be somebody.

I'm at JCPenney but shyt has changed for the worst since some CAC who was once Steve Job's right hand man became CEO late last year. Ever since February, he's been taking the store downhill. Last month my Store MGR was let go, last week my dept mgr , Assistant Store MGR, and two other MGRS were let go of their duties and its only getting worse and worse. This is all happening nationwide too. I work in commission and theres loud rumors they're getting rid of that too in a few weeks. Its a horrible feeling to work in sales not knowing what's happening to your job the next day. I don't know how someone can take over a company that's been around for 110years fukk it up in six months? The founder of Wal-Mart started here. I'm passionate about it cause my mom's been there for 30 yrs so I've been around the company my entire life and it used to be real cool. She's good though whatever happens but I'm looking to take my talents elsewhere ASAP.

Oh yeah, I worked at Fry's Electronics selling computers for three years. There's not enough words to tell you how fukked up that place is.

A chick I went to school with was a sup at Penny's. They let her go recently. Changes at corporate.

I worked at the "Foodcourt" in Target when I was younger and it was normal protocol to take the mini piza hut pizzas out of the oven and add 15 minutes to the current time, and write it on the box so we knew when to throw the pizza out. Well I took a pizza out and wrote an incorrect time out. I took a pizza out at 2:50pm and wrote 2:05pm on it... Noticing the mistake I crossed out the 2:05pm and wrote 3:05pm on it...

This nerdy computer programmer indian dude came in with his little daughter and bought the pizza. After she finished it, he came up to me and ask me about the time. I explained to him that we write the time 15 minutes after we take it out of the oven so we know when to throw it away...

This clown thought I purposely crossed the time out on the box to let the pizza sit out longer and he though I served his daughter a "Bad pizza" on purpose...

Him yelling and cursing in his indian accent just led to me



Needless to say.... I was fired... Even though I did nothing wrong...

I wish I could crack jokes about working there, but it's truly sick and disturbing.

And the majority of the department managers need a fukking psych evalution test, dead ass serious. the store managers DEFINITELY need it. The place is like an alternate reality of north Korean proportions. fukking labor cult.

A childhood friend (who was a manager at one of them and hooked me up with a position at another location) killed himself not too long ago and some of his experiences there played a great deal in his decision to do it.

I almost got hustled one time tho I don't know how dude almost got me....but he came in with a $50 bill and asked for change. But the amount of change he asked for was more than the $50. He was talkin mad fast and it threw me off. I almost gave him the money, but luckily my co-worker heard him and was like " Don't give him shyt, he's playing you" and then broke it down to me. I was like

Quick change artists have a big business going. A lot of them just do small amounts but some people are really good at tripping the people up for more. Total is $5.50, they pay with a 10 and then say they have the 50 cents and wait for the cashier to bring out the $5 then they say "ah fukk it, I don't have the 50 cents" and then expect to get the 5 plus 50 cents. They're only stealing $1 but some people try to do it on every transaction and it adds up. A real good one will wait for the cashier to pull out the 5, then say ah fukk it I dont have the right change, then once the cashier has had to recalculate the change a couple times and the bills are all out of order, he'll snake the 10 back and then get the $5 back on top of it.

Had to work on New Years Eve. They shut down the store at 9 and had all employees stay til 10 restocking the shelves, folding shirts... managers were being super douchey because they had a meeting with the GM once all us lackeys were gone.

I got shytty customer stories for days. fukking racist white dude who thought we were on the same team because he hated Mexicans. c*nty broads who want something on the top shelf when I'm the only one working in the GC, on a register, and she wants me to get a ladder and pull it down. Motherfukkers bringing their groceries all the way over to my register because the "lines are shorter in the GC" (I didnt know half the codes for the fruits and vegetables, I would make up prices)

Only 3 front registers open at 5 pm

Walks to plants section

We sold fukking cinnabons. What is there to think about?

Target
-Got a stomach virus from eating at the food court for the first and LAST time.
-Store Manager was FLAMING, and so were two others in the area (homeboy worked in the electronics dept. 15 min away.)
-This one black couple worked together, sales floor, and one day got into a nasty argument about something (she stayed angry and he stayed cheating). Next thing you know this big girl got her hands wrapped around his throat and he's clawing at her face. Not a pretty scene. He got fired, she got reprimanded.

Wal-Mart
-I was a cashier and we were taught not to take coupons if the expiration date had been cut off. At the time, our drawers got counted individually, something they stopped doing, so if you were short, it was big trouble...W-M don't play. Of course shyt happens to me, I try to scan one anyway and my register rejects it. He gets mad at ME and the CSM tells him he can't use em.

Next thing you know he's taking his grocery cart back, looking at me saying, "It's ALWAYS your own kind!" I'm like . I shake it off cause at W-M, all customers treat you like shyt and think they're above you, it comes with the territory. A manager rushes over to me while I'm with another customer and quickly escorts me to the back.

I'm back there confused as hell, had to give a statement and everything. I find out on my last break that shortly after I left dude went SSJ3 and threatened EVERY fukking body. Dude was so loud he shut the entire store up. I'm in the back at the time and couldn't hear shyt. Apparently he threatened to kill me as well.

Over coupons.



...I haven't even got started with W-M, but I'm tired of typing...
