QueenoftheDorks Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 They purposely leave the front end short handed and make them call people from the floor to stop their work and come to cashier. They also usually won't let them call someone in if a person called in because there's always some kind of payroll excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiemarie90 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Dam those retail workers having to take balance four other tasks from their supervisors AND eventually take a break/lunch. The audacity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyDayJizz#35 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I live for self checkout. In Frankfurt there's a place where you put your club card in a scanner and carry it around with you. Scan your groceries as you pick them out and put them in the bags you brought. Dock the scanner and pay when you leave. Such an awesome system that Americans would use to steal millions in food each year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Walmart has decided that, if they're going to pay people more than minimum wage, they'll just slash their staff by half. Also probably trying to funnel people into self checkout so they can eventually phase out people at registers completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) "SELF SERVICE IS THE FUTURE" SAYS FORTUNE 500 COMPANY. GOT A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD? GO ONLINE TO BE SENT ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE INSTEAD OF CALLING IN AND TALKING TO A REAL PERSON WHO WILL ALSO SEND YOU AROUND IN CIRCLES. WANT SOME CARROTS? JUST SCAN, WEIGH, PUT IT ON THE SCALE TOO SOON, HAVE THE IDIOT ALARM GO OFF AND STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR FIVE MINUTES BECAUSE THEY HAVE ONE PERSON TO TEND TO TWELVE PEOPLE AND THERE'S AN OLD LADY TRYING TO USE COUPONS THAT ARE THREE MONTHS EXPIRED AND WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

Man get this...so most insurance companies now have it so you can verify someone’s coverage online...well for the longest time the company I worked for only had store to store information and intranet...but now we have very limited access to online servers...well anyways my point... i will call instead of fuck around online cause calling is faster...and every time they tell me “you can find this info on line at www-dot-..”, “um excuse me?

Codename: Jackass Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I worked as a support agent for Target and their in house credit card for a year and we had to mention the self service options or we'd receive a docking on our QA score, so it's probably the same way for them too. It's really annoying from a customer perspective, I know we've all called in to a help line and gotten the same thing but it's just corporate bullshit the agent has to abide by.

I hate all of it. Though i never get mad at the workers. I know what it's like to have a job that involves making folks mad. I refuse to be that piece of shit customer.

I've started pressing wrong buttons continuously to get to an operator immediately, but sometimes even that doesn't work out as they'll direct your call again to a department that just hangs up on you.
