How bad is life going for someone when they get mad enough at paint to stand on a retail sales counter?
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
I WANT MY YUMMY DETERGENT
Probably not as bad as you're thinking, he's actually been waiting for this moment for years.
"Color me surprised."
Can you just choose to be a POC like that?
Well... There's that dude who decided to become Korean.
I'm not quite following you. Are you suggesting this is pent up righteous indignation? Or like they feel it is an injustice so egregious they now get to "make a stand" or something?
I think the suggestion is that he's always wanted to stand on the desk, and was just angry enough to feel justified in doing so.
I'm imagining a grown man indignantly yelling about his Warner Houses Velvet Peacock actually being Royal Garter but secretly having the time of his life standing on the counter. So happy he can see soooo far, almost to the other side of the store! "It's like I'm a giant, rarrrr!" he thinks.
It's the side we all have, which society wants us to hide.
I don’t have this side. If I want to see the whole store I’ll use one of those employee-only ladders.
Not very. Or incredibly.
I think I found the poster Mr. PaintStander has on his wall.
is "Today at my retail job" a community, because it should be
Customer facing retail workers are a unrecognized heroes of our society. They face the worst of us and have to keep their sanity in check usually for the lowest wages an employer can get away with. Some countries have compulsory military service. I would support legislation making compulsory customer service in a public facing role a requirement.
Though it has been decades since I worked customer facing retail, the cruel lessons I learned about how people treat others they have power over are absolutely foundational to my own interactions with customer facing workers. I work to inject patience, understanding, and respect when I can to those in customer facing roles. If I hadn't worked retail, I can't dismiss horrifying the possibility I might be standing on a paint counter today myself secure in my incorrect convictions and ignorant of my hubris.
If you disobey a direct order do the retail police send you to the warehouse as the brig?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Surprised that the tales from subs from reddit haven't been copied over.
There used to be a phenomenon on imgur (for people who spent all their free time there and didn't know what reddit was) called "work stories." We had a lot of fun sharing those.
Was it Lowe's? Sounds like a Lowe's customer.
Paint department is hell.
How khaki were his cargo shorts?
Ow! Menards!
Save big money at My Nards!
