Why are retail workers so trash and lazy now ?

[OperationNumbNutts]

I blame companies. Too many are demanding more and hiring less. For example, Walmart stores would have around 20 registers with four of them open even before self-checkout. Also many restaurants have seen an increase in business due to a pps like Doordash and they still keep the staffing levels the same while limiting hours and not paying benefits.

Everybody blaming everyone but that actual person who but the boxes there.

Customer service has gotten bad cause people in general just don’t care.

......and there's a good chance there are only three people working in that store.

I swear every time I go to the grocery stores now

Dollar Tree/General are very different from big box retail stores.

You're not gonna see this at Walmart/Target for the most part.

Stop slumming it.

You really want retail workers to go all out for minimum wage like a stripper?

When I used to work at retail, I didn't do too much work either.

Spent plenty of years working retail. Tried managing at a larger chain retailer one time, and it was Straight Ass. The only workers allowed full-time hours were those with a management title. They limited the number of total hours we could divvy out over the week, so we were always understaffed. We always had help wanted signs up and listings online, even when fully staffed, so any federal jobs opening numbers (Jolts Report) should be laughed at as they are fugazi as it comes.

It ain’t just retail. It’s restaurant staff too. Bartenders be mean as fukk nowadays, not trying to refill your drink or take your order acting like you don’t exist and shyt. Hospitality ain’t so hospitable no more. Probably because they make money in tips on depending on the establishment, people be shytty tippers. Many people don’t know how to tip properly. They stereotype black folks as being bad tippers too. Plus everything cost so much now, people feel stuck. People don’t know who to be mad at so they take out their frustration on who’s around them. It’s baffling though because hella people tip based on the quality of service. So I don’t understand how someone who lives off tips acts like they hate their customers.

A lot of ppl died during the pandemic, there simply aren't enough workers in these stores. And I know the stores usually don't want to hire ppl but I don't think that's what's happening right now cause I've seen "help wanted" signs everywhere and folks just don't want those jobs. And a lot of the people who would have wanted them died.

The jobs suck and they don’t care…

The legit good retail workers DIED during the pandemic. All we have left are Gen Z leftovers that have ADD and clout chase for IG that work in these jobs for their basic living expenses.

This thread isn’t it. Dollar Tree and Dollar General workers get shyt hours and shyt pay while the company expects 3 workers at the most to operate an entire store.

it's not even a fun place to work. when i was in high school, i would've never applied there.

working at Target/Best Buy/the Mall/Movie Theater/Foot Locker being 1 of 3 workers at Dollar Tree and the other 2 are 50 yo moms.

Hard choice right there.

That happens when corners are cut.

Places are understaffed so the problems pile up. In addition to that, you're not going to attract motivated and skilled workers when you pay less than a livable wage.
