Zyrtec Lady
I'm working behind checkout, but not ringing. CW D is and is ringing up a lady for Zyrtec. Dun dun dun....thats not the right price! So I go check the aisle, and the Zyrtec is not on sale, our brand is...no mistaking it.

I go back up front and tell her that our brand is on sale.

"well thats where i got it" *huff*...walk over to spot with me...

She got mad and shoved the Zyrtec into the BVS spot...smart lady. and grabbed a different one instead. They are in pusher racks so the next item pushes up automatically, well she pulled it so quick another one flew out onto the floor. did she pick it up? nope. she goes back up, and it scans wrong. (my guess it was in the wrong spot, not wrong price) and she huffs and walks out with nothing

Condom girls
Teenage girls, in their favorite section, the condom section. I was on break and was bored so i was watching the security cameras and saw these 2 lovely ladies in the condom section. they werent looking at anything just standing and talking and drinking. then they start fiddling with the condoms. one girl squats down to the bottom shelf height, but squatted in a gross i-can-practically-poop-in-the-aisle-squat...then started bouncing and shaking her butt. then the other girl puts her drink on the shelf (where it stayed...bitch) and is looking and then starts touching her boobs. im like wtf? im only watching to make sure they are not stealing otherwise...screw this they are disgusting. (not to say ive never grabbed my boobs before...i just dont do it in public all the time ) my CWs watched them and scared them out.


later on i found 2 drink cups in cosmetics....we are the official garbage disposal for anyone who comes in.

stolen makeup, hey just take whatever you want!

people....there are garbages out front and out back. is it really THAT hard to throw stuff out in an actual garbage? sometimes they just throw it on the floor. technically i think food and drink arent allowed. but everyone comes in with drinks, smoothies, ice cream and leave all their garbage all around. seriously? i would NEVER do that. these are the same people with fancy expensive cars and people to clean their huge houses, but they leave their garbage on BVS floors.

classy people

They have clean houses and cars because they leave their trash all over town! I mean, why mess up your own stuff when someone will pick it up somewhere else?

We often find trash in the shopping carts at work... I once walked out into the vestibule to find a BK bag on a stack of chairs. REALLY, people?

I see that quite often as well. Not so much when I worked retail, though we did find plenty of abandoned ads in carts and coffee cups on the shelves. Lately, though, I've just been seeing trash in the carts in the store parking lots (in the cart corral or not). One seems to be designated the trash cart, and it gets filled with all kinds of garbage by the customers who are not lazy enough to drop their trash on the ground but are lazy enough to not walk back to the front of the store and put it in the proper bin. Usually beer and soda cases, plastic bags, fast food wrappers, cigarette boxes, and used diapers.

I know postal workers are supposed to have the reputation of being disgruntled and prone to violence from workplace stress, but I have to wonder if that stereotype might not be more accurately applied to cart wranglers. I know I'd be yelling at just about everybody in the parking lot if I had that job, and that's just from what I see as a customer.

theres always garbage in the carriages. usually flyers but still. almost every single one.

im always finding flyers on random shelves, on the floor, on the rx waiting chairs.

Usually beer and soda cases, plastic bags, fast food wrappers, cigarette boxes, and used diapers.

The diapers are the worst. And 2/3rds of the time I find them on the ground in the parking lot. Not even in a shopping cart.

People are constantly cleaning out their cars and leaving the trash in the shopping carts for us to clean out. Makes me want to crack some skulls.

I'm often loosing drink cups and fliers because I wasn't thinking about it, set it down without realizing it, and then not needing it until a half hour later. Then my brother is all, "Hey, weren't you drinking a soda." "Oh. I guess I finished it." "Huh." "Yeah..."

Then I get to work and find someone left their bacon bookmark in the return pile or something and I'm all, "People! This is a library, not a barn!" Then when he raises an eyebrow, I say, "It doesn't count as hypocrisy if you're just forgetful." And he gives me a look that says, Yes, it does.

What do I gotta do to get you to share some with me?

Shopping trolley fetching is a horrible job. You learn quickly that Americans with cars are bad news. I know because I was a trolley-fetcher for Sprall-Mart for three and a half years officially, and when the sunlight was making me too sick (my medications and sunlight don't mix), I was reassigned at last to janitorial. Unfortunately, the very next day, they decided to pretend that janitors have to push carts at least one day a week.

And trash in the trolleys is a big problem. Management requires that it be removed from the trolleys. I refuse to. Customers get the store they deserve.

One by one, the men on the janitorial staff have escaped it, leaving only three of us stuck with doing someone else's job all the time. Disgustingly, I'm one of the three. I should have quit the day they started that crap and started a 'constructive termination' claim.
