The amount of stress and physical pain I don't feel anymore is incredible. I had no idea how much it was hurting me until I left.

Research, CAFs, EXFs, FFs... The correct answer is that you need to pull all of them now, simultaneously. That's the only way to avoid getting yelled at.

Yeah, handle dusty dirty boxes for hours and hours every week and we'll see how squeaky clean you look. Not to mention the grease on the equipment (esp the baler) that always manages to get on you. Still, there are some people in logistics who never showered, I swear. I know that you get sweaty...

My number still worked even though I quit almost a month ago. Shhhh don't tell anyone :p

I made this topic because we got a new ETL. She walked past me numerous times while she was shadowing the STL, but never acknowledged my existence. However, she had no problem calling back on the walkie when she needed an item pulled. I don't even know this woman's name; she made a bad first...

Introduce yourself to every team member you come across as soon as you can, and not just those who you are in charge of. First impressions matter so much, and taking a moment to just say hi, I'm so and so, I'll be in charge of whatever department, makes a big difference.

In the course of four years, I have gone from "meh" to loving my job, to hating it, and now, I am indifferent, because, during my period of hatred, I realized that life is too short to spend 40 hours of your week doing something you hate. Retail has an insidious way of making you feel like you...

I always leave at 9 pm. Management would not be happy if I used extra hours. And the ETL would rip me a new one for pulling 20 pallets of price. Our price change team is slow as shit and has a bad habit of calling in all the time, so those pallets would be sitting on the line, taking up precious...

Today was a real test of patience. On my own after 2:30. Guest requests and FFs out the wazoo. 3 o'clocks are 1.5 hours. Those rolled bad. 4s are even bigger. Rolled those too. 5s are 1.75 hours. Had to stop at 6:15 to take my lunch before I hit compliance. Came back and finished the 5...

To that one lazy ETL: thanks for having me push five pulls you could've done last night. I'm sure my own team in the backroom will be *so* thrilled when they see that coolers and freezer weren't back stocked for FDC this morning! Today is my last closing shift ever with you, thank god! My only...

Not my experience in back to school. So much of it goes out when it's repushed. It feels like such a waste of time to put it away and then pull it back out the very next hour. ADDED: Oh, and a question for y'all. Let's say FDC is coming tomorrow and you need to get the coolers and freezers...

@asidius , that's what we've had today, too. Thankfully I have double coverage this year! But the line is full of leftover freight and the dock doors are covered with CAF pulls. Craaaazyyy

I don't know why anyone bothers to backstock BTS this time of year. What happens: http://i.imgur.com/6GmCIJk.jpg

It made it out onto the floor? Omg I hope a guest didn't see it! ETL-Log found it at the same time I did, and I thought she was going to puke, so I was like, if you unlock the compactor, I'll throw it out. Never have I power walked so fast in my life....

Direct quote from one of the dudes I used (past tense, thank god) to work with: "We got so many hot underage girls here that I think I'm gonna get the cops called on me one of these days." Thankfully, none of those underage girls were in earshot, but you can be sure HR didn't take too kindly to...

We've been through 4 HRs in my 4 years at Spot. First was bitchy. Second was awesome, though my faith in her was a little tarnished when my sexual harassment case was mishandled. Third was an empty headed idiot. This latest one isn't much better. I'm much more comfortable with the ETL-Log than...

Smelled something gnarly in the back room. Found a whole case of wet dog food (the kinds in the plastic trays) rotting, covered in maggots. Gotta be the nastiest thing I've seen here.

I'm done at the end of summer (after only 4 years, but that was 3 years longer than I originally intended...)! I'm counting down the weekends I have left. No more Black Thursday! Just this last BTS season! No more 4th quarter! No more time limits on every single thing I do! No more guests...

We have a couple of guys who can lift those big boxes of detergent one handed over their heads. No surprise that they tend to stick them on the top shelf instead of shuffling things around so the lighter boxes are up top. Too bad I'm not as strong. I tend to figure out very quickly when I'm...

One of the new ETLs used to yap at me every time a new FF dropped in. While I was logged into Redwire. Every time. So it would be like... "Beep beep beep" *toggles over and enters the FF batch* LOD: "Hey StackerMistress, looks like another FF came in!" Me: ".... yeah, I'm pulling it right...
