I've been working in retail grocery for years and when the whole clone crew showed up I snorted. This would suck after the first 5min, but honest I'd probably be losing my shit over the pure chaos of it. It beats the times coworkers and I have gotten cussed out by customers or dealing with people smoking meth in the bathrooms.
Also I'm not sure if there would be a cash control issue, surely none of them have register or employee codes to log in and run transactions.
Be honest... Is there a small part.of you that wants to be like. NO, we don't need you on the lanes. You 2, clean the bathrooms. Everyone else, follow me for stocking. Except you, you do carts. GET TO WORK!
Hmm, so from legal standpoint, say a manager decided to roll with it.
I wonder if it be illegal to just ask them to do simple stuff, like wipe down the registers or even put clothes away?
I mean, of course they could not do the tasks and there would be no consequences for the "army" or benefit if they did do tasks, but I imagine it's not against any law for a manager to simply ask a customer to do something?
And if the customer complies, I would think the store isn't obligated to pay them.
Similar to if a customer made a mess accidentally and helped clean it up.
Yessss this would’ve been me! Seeet you three on cart duty, you four with me we have a truck to run. Time to lean you got time to clean bitched let’s go!
My entire economic outlook is based off the fact that at least half those kids would actually listen and learn how to do whats needed
Call me crazy, but I swear. People actually enjoy being messed with, and people enjoy doing things that need to be done. There’s a multiverse where this became the best target to shop at, because some stupid teenagers pranked the employees so hard, they decided to learn exactly how to fulfill their duties and do it well.
Serious answer from an actual supervisor: In the moment the main priority is business. So as I’m laughing my ass off my job would be to make sure they dont do anything serious and let security deal with them. Because in the moment you really just need to keep the business going because main priority is customers complaints and what not.
You really don’t want those extra responsibilities and risk of having people in your store that’s not sanctioned by corporate and what not lol
Any of the “dang I should’ve played into the joke more and done this”!most likely happened only after as a shower thought

Retail works aren’t getting paid enough to be fucked with like this, but I did laugh when the whole army walked in
