This sounds like something a country that doesn't actively spit on retail workers might do. It certainly sounds like nothing I've ever heard of in the US.

It's enough to keep my bosses from doing it and also it's the bare loving minimum jesus christ I'm so mad now

As it happened I stumbled across this article in NYT this morning that touches on it: https://nyti.ms/3u10ybD so I guess it's a thing in NYC or maybe NY as well. I'm somewhat surprised it exists anywhere over here, it sounds like the sort of thing that would die to lobbying, since workers not being ground to dust would mean that mcdonalds needs to charge $40 for a Cheeseburger or some such.

I do wonder if "At least let the poor workers get some sleep/a shower" is at least slightly harder for the big business lobbyists to fight. After all: they're not paying the worker to go home and sleep. In other Amazon news: one of my two new managers is moving on (i.e. promoted, they usually last about a year, if not less) another is here being trained and brought up to speed to replace her. Our building is used to train new managers for other buildings so they work here about a year then half are promoted out to other buildings, and the other half promoted up to replace more senior positions that promoted out. Found him sitting near the end of the Smalls line where everything is packed into envelopes and tossing all of the polybagged items down with frustration. They weren't getting stuck, he was just working out some frustration by giving them a little extra speed down the line. I asked him if he had already learned to hate the polybags and he was all "Yeah, I spent the last three hours last night on the line clearing it, getting it restarted and throwing stuff down the chute by hand." Oh you sweet summer child. You think it's bad when we only have at most 5 or 6 packers on the line? Just wait until Prime Day when we have a full house and have up to 24 people there! (BTW for those of you who care: Prime Day is apparently June 20th)

We're getting our first major update to our POS system in 20 YEARS. The managers hate it already because it makes more work for them at closing, as they now have to count the tills and create the deposit then, as opposed to having some trusted schmuck (in my store, I am said schmuck) do it the next morning. I hate it for the same reason. I enjoy doing the deposits. It's an hour of my workday where I do not have to interact with a single customer. Also, I'm doing the training for it right now. One of the hypothetical situations: customer is paying for 3 lollipops (and only 3 lollipops, so $1.50) from impulse. With a business check. I'm gonna look at that customer funny in the real world.

In the ever continuing saga of my company being a bunch of skinflint fucks: I've noticed a few times this year that we keep running out of clean aprons. Today there was no clean aprons... and none in the bag we put the dirty ones in. I checked bakery and they also didn't have any aprons, I checked where clean aprons are usually dropped off and none there either. I had to grab one from meat department. They can't even provide us with clean aprons. THEY CAN'T loving GIVE US CLEAN APRONS

Wow, after 3 weeks of them cutting my wages resulting in me losing over 300 bucks, I finally got a full week next week. ..... Meanwhile all my coworkers in my department get six days of work. I should be annoyed at this, but I'm ok cause the less I have to be in that loving building the better. Also since the openers all get an extra day, they don't need me to come in for an opening shift. Leal fucked around with this message at 04:49 on May 1, 2021 |

7:30 am. Deli counter opens at 8. Given the counter is empty and I’m visibly writing dates on tickets with a bunch of unopened ham etc joints next to me, it’s clear I’m still in the process of setting up. An old lady walks up (store itself opens at 7), looks at the empty counter, looks confused/mildly annoyed and asks “Have you not got any ham today?” Only slightly better than the people who see me put one singular tray of meat out, decide “Oh it must be fully open now” despite me putting out ONE THING and start asking for stuff. Why are old people so impatient?? Just let me finish setting up, goddamn

It's because old people can remember a time, long, long ago, when grocery stores were properly staffed. But history became legend, and legend fades to myth...

My store would have the floor clerk help with bagging if the customer is elderly or otherwise would have difficulty bagging stuff. Unless they were checking out at one particular cashier who I have found memories calling me to help someone bag stuff when the person was the same age as me, had no apparently handicaps and had a god drat 10 year old and 8 year old who could've bagged their 4 bags worth of groceries. I swear this cashier was either power tripping or hoping being so free with having someone bag for the costumer would advance them in some way.
