I love the guests who grab a handbasket and then proceed to just stuff it and come to my lane. I grab the breakables and squishables and then tip it. I had a guest ask what the hell I thought I was doing. Since I was frustrated (supposed to be prepping ad, had been at work for four hours...

My management complaint: I get scheduled a certain number of hours a week for ad. My TL schedules me for exactly 8 hours over what the projected timing is for prep for the week (so I can do endcaps on Sunday). This would definitely not be an issue, except for the fact that I know food ave, the...

My SL ETL has been here for two years, but we've had 6 GEs in 4 years. On Monday, it will be #7. Our latest blonde cheerleader just got promoted.

This is a really old story (almost 5 years), but this jogged my memory. One of my first cashier shifts ever, a guest handed me a folded up piece of paper. Thinking it was trash - because I am a human-shaped trash can, apparently - I just tossed it. The guest looked really confused and kept...

I'm the new ad team member for my store (and sadly, it's just me). For ad take down, which I no longer have to do, we start at 845 Saturday night and scan until all the signs are down. My problem comes up with Sundays and ad set up. I wasn't really trained, just kind of thrown into the...

To the cashier who either calls in or leaves early almost every shift: stop it! When you show up, you are one of the hardest workers I have. I can't send all my cashiers out to zone because I'll never see them again, but you actually pay attention to the lanes. Please stop ditching, you haven't...

Are you sick of the timers yet? After my first week, I heard those darn things everywhere! My favorite guests are the ones who think they know everything about coffee and are usually trying to show off for somebody: "Yeah, hi, can I get a venti grande mocha frappe hot?" Really?!? "Would you...

It gets easier, I promise. Fridays are usually not good training days. Lol

I have to agree. I hate when people come in and tell me they used to (or still do) work for Target and know how things work.

"It might make her butt look big."

Love this! The kids who shop my store seem to lose IQ points when they shop in groups. They turn into rude little beasts who need to pull up their pants or wear shirts that actually fit. Grrrrrr...some people's kids.

To my opening cart attendant: I love the fact that you feel comfortable enough to be your uncensored self around me. But telling me that you feel as though you are going to revisit breakfast during major backup, while I'm speed weaving, and helping guests put their bags in the carts was not a...

I had a regular actually hit me with one when we first opened our store. It was about 3 years ago, but I still remember that I was working a pull in dog food. Apparently I was in the way. She hit me (and this was when the smart karts were brand new, so they had speed), I went down, stayed down...

Oh, he picks on everyone. :) And ap215, he was TRYING to return the items. He never actually got to. :) :) :)

My closing GS TM had a guest say that we were being unfair because we wouldn't price match CVS's ad (which we can't, because most of it says "With Card"). After the guest help up the line for 10 minutes (all of which I was up there backing up for), she said, "Well, then, I'll just go to...
