Retail and Season
10 years ago
General
So I vanished for a bit because of doctor and family reasons and as soon as I came back from all of that stuff season started at my job. I do work at a toy store and as soon as the holiday season starts my time to work on images becomes heavily restricted. If I do not post between now and January 8th that will be why. I may pop up here and there to try and catch up on what I have missed and respond to any messages. If I do not respond to you right away I am not ignoring you or anything I just haven't been online to check messages.
On the note of season please remember the cashiers nor store managers make the rules, the big wigs at corporate do. Cashiers and Service area will normally try to help you any way they can if you are patient and calm. Yelling and cursing will not get you what you want but makes the employees less likely to want to help you.
Also signs are your best friend, just because you refuse to read a sign doesn't negate the sign. No lie in the span of one hour I had two people say "You expect me to read the sign up here telling me what is and is not on sale! That's not fair that I cant get the price I want on the item!" So yeah please read the signs, if something isn't clear ask a store team member they will try their best to explain.
Last point, if you go into a store because their add has an item on sale and you do not see it in the store it is not a 'bait and switch' it is not 'false advertising'. It just means that it is a popular item and the store sold out. It is not the employees fault that they don't have it, so please don't blame them for 'ruining Christmas'.
All that being said everyone be safe during these crazy times! Happy holidays and all that junk!
