No one has a robot job

>>37217908
Overnight is chill as fuck but heavy on tasking. Most of the people are older or robots. No annoying customers, though.

I work nights at a gas station. It's pretty fucking comfy, good pay, and even enough time to shitpost. 10/10 job

>>37218323
>heavy on tasking

What do you mean? Like, grunt or busy work? I did a lot of that kind of stuff at my last job (facing, putting away shit, etc., whenit wasn't busy), so I'm used to it.

Hopefully this job is chill. Kinda sounds like it.

>>37218401
I've always wondered about working nights at a gas station. What do you do? Does it get busy. Any weird customers

I just front stock, refill the fridges, mop and sweep, clean gondalas. Really it's about 3-4hrs of solid work over 9hrs. Gets pretty busy around 5am with tradies coming in.
>weird customers
My store is on the highway, about an hour from the next town up. We get all the weirdos. Pic related.

>>37218540
The work sounds comfy.

Have you seen the creepy lady before or after

I work front end as a support tech at a best buy-equivalent in my country. Every day I'm literally inches from murdering someone after explaining to the nth retard that he wont get a new computer after dropping his mac down the stairs. Doesnt help that all my colleagues hate me cause im always in a pissy mood. It's quite comfy apart from the customers, get to chill and tinker with puters and phone repairs, but overall shit job

>>37217908

I'm an overnight supervisor in a supermarket. It's nice not having customers but theres a lot of work to do most of the time. It's also boring as fuck.

Produce is good though, probably the only enjoyable part of fresh foods.

>old lady comes in
> Wearing expensive jewelry
>6 slices of bread
>1,36 euros
>Pays with a 100 euro bill
>Is annoyed that I have to give her the last 20 bucks in 2 euro pieces because we ran out of paper money
>Leaves no tip

Always the same with those old hags.
Construction workes usually give at least a 50 cent tip even if they only have to pay 99 cents for a Laugenstangerl

Fuck these kinds of customers.

I work at a bakery chain and have mainly nice customers but every now and then I get some idiot that complains to me about the prices.
WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!

Why, lower your price of course.
Wouldn't want Customer #1747500001 getting their panties in a bunch and never coming back to shop there right?

>>37218771
What kind of work? Like end of day paperwork, tidying the store, etc? Is produce more chill?

>>37219184

This. 99% of all issues cashier have is because of the customer.

Here's another hot meme you may have experienced

>that's a bit pricey, I could get it cheaper at [Competitor's Store]

>>37219517
around the counter, my side and theirs, front door and lottery counter. We have a steam cleaner that I use nightly but it's not taking the small away

>>37219529

Who does this?

We are not lying when we tell you your total I promise

>>37219559
I'd probably lose my shit if someone tried that on me.

>>37219556
Or the retard customers who can see a huge queue forming behind them but they insist on staying at the till to read over their receipt 100+ quid worth of shopping

>>37219436
Sorry if you contract the cold from handling a hand basket, my little frail sunflower :( :( :(

>>37219559

Then go there then you stupid fucking asshole I get paid either way

I wish I could say that. I just say our products are competitively priced

>Customers who ask if 3 for 2 pound means they can get any 3 things from that deal for 2 pound

How fucking brain dead do you have to be to not understand this ? I've had people literally ask if 3 for 2 pound means 3 for 2 pound

>>37219831
>give him a break. sometimes clothes have two different price tags

>"awww they're 10c cheaper up the road"
Then go there you stupid cunt, you're paying for convenience of being on the highway

Am I the only one that has cashier dreams? Like, I'll dream that I'm on a shift, but even after it ends I'm still stuck there checking people out, as if it's purgatory. Sometimes I even realize it makes no sense, and I'm probably at home sleeping, but I keep doing it just in case. I had several in a row when I first started, but now they're only occasional (like last night).

>>37219862

Nah m8

I've had a recurring night mare where customers are still in my store an hour after closing and I literally cannot ring them up fast enough.

>Cashier purgatory

Glad to know it's not just me. At times I'm even semi-conscious, and it feels like I'm in my bedroom, but I can't break that mentality that I'm on the job and have to be doing something. Shit's weird.

>>37219945
I switch from that to a real robot based on mood.

>>37219568
I usually look because I have shit hearing or just phase out

Not really retail but wage slavery non the less.

As a cart-pusher, I get those too, especially on nights when I'm really, really tired.
I can see the parking lot at night, and there's always one cart out there that I missed.

I'm glad you made this friend because I have a question to ask you robots. My parents are LITERALLY forcing me to get a job or else they'll have to take drastic measures. I'm 18 fresh of high school but have severe social anxiety. What are some robot friendly jobs I can work for? How hard is it to get an overnight stocking job? And are cashier jobs hard for people with social anxiety ?

>>37220216
Cashier is hard until you realize you literally have to try no harder with talking than an NPC. You basically read from a script.

>>37219945
I'm similar. I am friendly and people seem to like me, but i much prefer being alone

>>37220216
Thanks anon. Good luck

It was relatively easy for me, but i already had retail experience. I'd still recommend looking for one, or some other overnight job

>>37220216
The first work of being a cashier is hard, but after that it's basically nothing. Every conversation follows the same format:
"Hello".
>"Hi, how are you?".
"Good, thanks for asking".
...
"Your total is _____".
...
"Here you are, have a nice day".

>>37220337
I was that janitor. Had to clean the bathrooms literally on every 30 minute mark.

>>37218637
Nope. Never saw her again. I get regular weirdos like this. Shit makes for good /x/ stories
>>37220293
As real as it comes. I swear sometimes my store is either a foci for the weird or just plain straight up haunted.

>>37220216
Also, this >>37220278

I'm extremely shy. 90% of my interactions were more or less

>hi how's it going
>good thanks
>do you have a point card
>its $x
>have a good day

Minor variations include a comment on the weather, how busy it is in the store, etc.

It may take a little bit to get in the groove, but I'm sure you'll do well

>work at book store
>older lady comes in store
>asks me for recommendations
>is huge true crime fan

Who are the worst customers for you guys? I find they're usually either middle-aged hags or Indians

>>37220413
Reminds me of a coworker

>she's a cashier
>front store manager is checking prices near the register
>jokingly pretends the price gun is a real one, pretends to shoot said coworker
>she breaks down because her brother was killed by gunshot
>fsm ignores her from now on, out of guilt

>>37220443
Worst are middle-aged women of any race that walk with a stick up their ass and prematurely bald because their lives consist of making other people miserable. There's not a lot of them, mind you, they just really stick out.

On the other hand, MILFs are god tier. Less uptight than young girls, and they often wear loose blouses which can bring life to some dull moments.

You gotta have fun to break the monotony up. I really love my job and my regular customers make my days worth while. I could really give a shit less about people with bad attitudes and I'm an asset to the company so I get left alone when I have my moments.

>>37220627
American? How do you get away with that?

>>37220623
yeah, i worked in the only mall in a 3 hour radius. there was even an amish community near by
i saw a amish lady reading 50 shades of gray one time too, that was pretty funny

>>37220661
Yeah I'm an American. I get away with it because I know how to word myself properly, control my tone and body language so the customer doesn't feel like I'm "bigger" than them. I've since moved up from being a meat cutter/manager and work behind the scenes. When I say I'm an asset to the company it's because I've learned or discovered things that I refuse to teach people that are necessary business practices.

>>37220443
The really snooty, bitchy middle aged women.

People who let their kids run rampant around the store, without care

The really rambunctious teens or twenty somethings

I never understood this. The person that controls the prices has nothing to do with me.
If you want to get in contact with the tentacles that control the cost of stuff watch a fucking hentai about jews

Working retail really opened my eyes on how shitty, lazy, stupid and disgusting people can be, customers and coworkers alike.

Anybody worked at walmart or home depot? How was that?

I sell cameras at Best Purchase
I sell 40 grand a month and take home like 1k at the end of the month.

what kind of shop can you buy bread by the slice?

>>37222666
It's this western Austrian food chain that sells everything connected to bread, sweet bakes goods, meat etc.
It's overpriced as hell and most of the stuff tastes horrible but people love going there.
We have this one sort of bread that you have to sell by weight and it's there for slices of bread.

To get back on topic, some people are so lazy they want you to put butter on their children's bread. Look up pretzels and you know in how much agony you are when some single mom wants you to make the breakfast for her children because she can't handle her shit.

We let people drink beer in our store at 6 am so the alcoholics really love us.

That shouldn't annoy you since (hopefully) it's not a service the store provides so you can just say no.

It's a service the store provides. It's one of those services and is fucking expensive for the customer (40 cents for a slice of butter), annoying for the worker and one of those that never leaves you with a tip, due to being so expensive.

*That is fucking expensive for the costumer.
I hate phoneposting but my pc broke down

>been working for almost a year now at one of the shittiest, most despised McDonald's in the area
>was my first real job at 21
>finally going to leave in a month or two for a career-related job
>couldn't come at a better time since a bunch of the more competent, experienced people are quitting or got fired and are getting replaced by idiots and high school kids
This year went by ridiculously fast. Can't say I'll miss working here but finally getting a job was a net positive for me, things have been looking up for the most part.

What is your new job going to be in?

>>37223807
Public Safety, I'm going to be working for my campus PD as a CSO in two weeks. Want to be a cop eventually but I think I'll work probation for a few years first after graduating.

Every time people come in to scam us with their bullshit returns; we know its a scam, you are not some mastermind that tricked us with your jedi shit.

Been working retail for over 10 years.
Have a full time job there.

Ask me what you wanna know.

I've done overnights, dairy/frozen and grocery.

I just wish customers would stop making a mess of everything. It is like the opposite of the midas touch, everything turns to shit.

I'm working at a German Aldi and I always thought that I hate my job but it's just the fact that my coworkers can't plan as good as me.
I'm their subordinate so I just kept my mouth shut for the past year but I recently just began to tell what I think would be best.
They actually implement my ideas and everything goes smoother than usual but than they revert to their old habits and everything is shit.

>see him again a week later

Reminds me of a customer that wanted to use the toilet that's deep in the store and is obviously not for customers, but I said no. He said "Well, I guess I won't buy hotdogs from you then". The boss was next to me when they left, and he told me what I was thinking. "Who the fuck cares if you're not gonna buy some hotdogs?"

A few minutes later the guy comes back in and orders the hotdogs, and he has this obedient tone in his voice.

Nice story. It had lovable characters, and a nice ending.

>Work in phone shop
>Setting customer up with a new contract phone
>Asks if we do a price match
>We do, under specific circumstances
>Chosen tariff is 200 bongs upfront
>Claims he saw an offer on a third party website with nothing upfront
>Tell him we don't match third party websites
>"You must be able to do me a discount though when it's that much cheaper?"
>No
>"Seriously? So how do you stay in business then?"
>How about I throw in a case or a screen protector for you?
>"I can just do this online instead. I'll save 200 quid and get my own"
>If it's that much cheaper, I won't blame you
>"Can you even knock off half?"
>No
>"Well, good luck staying in business if you're that expensive"
>Leaves
>Comes back 10 minutes later, speaks to a different employee and buys the original deal from them

Why do people try to bullshit you? I just don't understand.

>be brown asian that looks mexican working as cashier in ethnic supermarket
>be 2nd day of job, have difficulty differentiating all our potatoes and roots
>mexican customer pulls up with all the potatoes and roots we got
>fuck
>I don't recognize all of them on the spot, but identifying, weighing and bagging them is going smooth.
>Still not as fast as veteran cashiers here
>getting yelled in spanish
>complete transaction
>customer in broken english "you're lucky I don't have you fired and deported"
>"Bueno."

It just seems odd to me for a Mexican to threaten another brown person with deportation. I actually wanted to see what would happen if he tried because i have my citizenship and was just there while i waited for my contract for another job to be written up.
