Yippee, Irv found yet another day to loathe: the day all our remaining Christmas stuff gets marked down to 90% off. Why, you ask? Read on:
The running of the clearance shoppers
I am told that yesterday there was a crowd of people gathering in front of the doors at 7:30. When we opened at 8, these people all went running--stampeding--to the seasonal department to pick through the last two aisles of stuff we had left.
Yup. Running down the aisles like it's freakin' Black Friday--to buy stuff that's 90% off. People suck.
Shopping Cart ADD
Dear Clearance Swamp Shoppers:
What the hell is wrong with you that you can't put a freakin' shopping cart back where it belongs? Don't wanna walk off the cheese curds and beer you had for breakfast? Trust me, you people need it.

See, I got a talking-to from management thanks to these fucks. They just couldn't be bothered to walk their carts over to a corral, even on a mild-ish January day with no rain or snow. Instead, they just left them sitting all around one of the corrals, until they started spilling over into the traffic lane and adjacent parking spots.
Somebody took it upon themselves to complain to management about this (of course they can't blame the piggish people who left their carts all over the place). And management figured that if I had been doing my job and watching the carts, instead of helping unload the truck like my manager had asked me to do, then it wouldn't have gotten so bad.
When I went back out to do another cart run later, they were just leaving them all over the place. I counted at least 10 shopping carts left loose in the parking lot. People suck.
I will not hit a female coworker. I will not....
I was working carts and carryouts yesterday. I got called by the service desk to bring up a couple of large pieces of furniture that were to be transferred to a nearby store. One of the managers from this store showed up with her truck to pick the stuff up.
As I was loading up everything. another carryout was paged. I asked HBA specialist to get it since I was busy with the other two large items. It turned out that carryout was for a three-shelf bookcase, which comes in a small box and weighs maybe 15 pounds.
HBA specialist then started grumbling that I should take the bookcase because "it's your job." I told her I had two other things to bring up, and all she had was a small bookcase. No reason she can't handle it.
So we headed up to the front of the store, HBA specialist grumbling the whole time about how I won't do my job, and she should tattle on me because I already got in trouble over the carts. I blew her off.
At the desk, I waited for the other store manager to finish up with the transfer paperwork. The customer with the bookcase was still paying.
Then HBA specialist did something that, quite frankly, flabbergasted me. She just dropped the bookcase hard on the counter, and stormed off. Right in front of the guy who was paying for it. Right in front of another store's manager. Right in front of the service desk person.
Geez, we're gonna act like we're 4 years old now when we're asked to do something we don't want to do? People suck.
Not a parking spot:
Yesterday I also observed somebody pull her car into the fire lane in front of the store, park, put her flashers on so people would think she just happened to have car trouble there instead of thinking she's an entitled scofflaw, and headed inside the store.
Thirty minutes and two carryouts later, her car was still there, flashers still on. So I took down the license plate number and was going to give it to the service desk so they could tell this person to move her car, but then I ran into her going out the doors, so she must've finished up. People suck.
