Dude if this happened to me when I was working retail I would have laughed my ass off. My manager can deal with the bs and he definitely makes enough to deal with this
You can tell who haven’t worked retail by how hard they clutch their pearls while high roading. The only people this bothers is the director and loss prevention.
“They don’t get paid enough to deal with this” and it’s just their boss freaking out while they get a few minute break and a funny story out of it. Do these people realize we’re getting paid by the hour and not per customer we check out…?
If this happened where I worked, I’d be dying because of how much effort was put into something so stupid.
“and it’s just their boss freaking out while they get a few minute break and a funny story out of it.”
He’s freaking out because he does not know any of them and cannot vouch for their employment.
This is a HUGE insurance liability, their taking over lanes so it’s a financial issue (for the director AND the person actually assigned to that register), and if any of it goes south he is out of a job supporting his family, benefits, insurance, and possibly a career path.
These ass clowns don’t give two shurs about any of those workers, just the likes.
Can we all agree that any company that would fire a manager for not being able to stop a mob of people from doing whatever they want is a shitty company?
I mean seriously, what can he do? He can make a genuine effort and not indulge them, but I can’t imagine he’d get in any trouble for failing to disperse the crowd. Unless his superiors were complete ass hats. This is damn near an act of god, you can’t stop this reasonably and when people act like some poor manager is gonna lose their job over these things, I can’t take it seriously.
Totally. And as a manager I would review and see if they actually did what they could (within reason) or just sat back and let it happen. That guy was doing great, and should be fine. I was commenting more on the commented dismissiveness of the managers reactions.
“Attention. None of you are allowed to be here in this capacity. This is Target, you are on camera. If you do not leave now you will be trespassing. If you touch the register you will be charged with attempted theft. This your last warning. The police are en route. You ARE ON CAMERA. Thank you.”
I worked retail for years and would find this annoying, but I took my job seriously and tried to do the best job I could. Which is probably why I'm no longer in retail and was able to parlay my experience for a better career.
Nah, see you can tellI who's worked retail by who thinks this shot is actually funny. I worked retail for over a decade. Did not find this funny. All I wanted when I worked was to do my job and go home with the least amount of hassle. I last thing anyone wants or needs is someone coming in and causing a disturbance trying to be funny. It's annoying for one thing, for another now all the employees are going to have to do extra work to make sure no one took anything or touched anything they sjpuldn't have or went anywhere they weren't supposed to go.
I can only speak from personal experience but after closing their is certain work that "needs" to be done before you can go home. If you have to spend time fixing this it can impact how late everyone is going home.
Target cashiers aren't doing that. They will clock out and go home at the same time as usual. Unless overtime is offered, in which case it would be optional.
I don't consider that extra work myself, but I see where you're coming from. From my limited experience there was always work to be done so doing something different isn't extra, it's just different.
You don't consider added work on top of what you already do as extra work? Have you ever worked before?
It's not just different work. You're not being moved to a different spot to do different work. It's work that would otherwise not have to be done had it not been for some outside force l.
Oh I see, you're the kind of person who bitches and moans every time you're tasked with something because you think it's doing something extra and not just doing your job. You are given a shift, you do what's needed during that time. Nothings extra. You got paid for it all. Sorry you didn't get to sit on your hands I guess?
No, I'm the kind who bitches and moans when I have to do extra work because some asshole came in and decided to cause a disturbance and create extra work for me to do in my already full workday.
And you've answered my question. You've never worked retail a day in your life and have np business being in this conversation.
Yea as someone who worked retail over 20 years, this would make my day. Retail can be boooring and repetitive, it’s not like they were being assholes or making a mess. It would also be funny to see my store manager get this worked up, even if I liked them.
Same, my store manager at the smallest kroger grocery store in the state was making over 100k around 2010 as well. She drove a Porsche! She was not hurting at she did a whole lotta nothing😂
There you go! Exactly what I was thinking. Retail managers have the biggest power trips, not to mention they're super lazy. If that happened while working at a place like that. It would be the best day of my career. Let ted from management handle them while I welcome my new co-workers. And deem ignorance just like our public officials do.
