Grocery Shop-PING!
That was a good one. LOL
I wish you a happy birthday, sir. And I thank you for the hilarity you provide.
PJ can send her some coupons to ease her pain, haha.
Often people who are late are habitually late. The way the manager addressed her, it sounds like that may be the case. But it’s wrong to dress down a worker in front of customers. It makes the customer uncomfortable.
It was funny to note that the DU’er get a better price and produce from a nonunion shop. Perhaps there’s a lesson there for the Dummie, like unions drive up cost? Nah.
By the way, has anyone checked DU after Obama said today Gitmo is a necessary thing? How are they taking it?
Foreign strawberries? Here in FL I consider California strawberries foreign. Last time I was up in New England I was surprised to see FL strawberries in the winter but I don’t think I’ve seen honest to god foreign ones.
The concepts of "cause" and "effect" never penetrate the mind of a liberal. There is no room for logic with all the emotion that fills their brains.
Happy Birthday, Charles; may God give you many more! And 58 isn't ancient - take it from one who was born in the first year of the baby boomers. 65 - now that's ANCIENT!
There is of course the issue of do you take this person’s story at face value, but giving the poster the benefit of the doubt, you should avoid reprimanding a worker in public, both from a sales perspective as well as a management perspective.
PJ, I don’t know how compelling of a Dummies Funnies this one is, though I love most of your other ones.
Happy Birthday
DUmmies have no idea how tough it is for a business if employees are late, do they?
So the DUmmiee shops at a lower quality store simply because they are Union and can't figure out why the non-Union store has better product and lower prices. Probabley because they can get rid of the bad employees who cost the company money in poor service and damage to products in addition to Union contracts. Therefore better products and lower prices.
In my are the non-union supermarket also is generally cleaner with more knowledgeable employees and has better quality products than the Union store. Strange.
I'm at the checkout with my fairly sizable order--and of course, I eschew the self-checkouts for the human ones.
They do know that a human does watches those. Right? Just a higher machine to human ratio, typically 5 registers to one cashier or so. Who knows maybe they moved the former cashiers to other jobs within the store to improve service instead of having them scan groceries. They do know that the more cashiers, the higher the payroll, the higher your costs. Never mind, that's using logic.
Notice how the idiot mentions that the non union store has great prices. Wonder why, sh*t bag?
"I had a bunch of errands to run yesterday, including a supermarket run. I usually avoid the local Hannaford's (a New England based chain) because they're non-union. BUT. I had other stops to make in the same shopping center. BUT. They have the best produce, good prices, and the best local/organic food section around."
Gee, wonder if this DUmmie understands that "they're non-union" has anything to do with "They have the best produce, good prices, and the best local/organic food section around"? Probably not -- my guess is that the Dummie is just too d@mn stupid to...
Employees with bad habits and bad work ethics are a waste of time in the first place. Taking this lady to the office would have been another waste of time. I’ve tried to explain so many things to so many employees so many times and they will never get it, so I don’t berate them in front of the customer. I tell them when I have time, privately that if they want a job, they will do things my way. They either do or they don’t and that determines whether they will work for me or not. I am not hard to get a long with. Those who do the most get rewarded. The dead weight gets cut. It’s that simple. I don’t play games.
While this is a boo hoo moment, someone needs to take the young wannabe manager aside and chew his butt good. Any 2-striper in the military knows you don’t attack a subordinate in public. How about this as an example. The Air Guard had just been giving a new airplane type and the first unit promptly flew one into the side of a mountain. A four-star head of the responsible command diverted to the unit’s headquarters. After the general had received an update on the details he pulled the unit commander aside and said, “If your unit destroys another airplane, I’m going to come to your house and burn it down...with your wife and kids still inside. Do I make myself clear?”
I like the “tacky” DUmmie whose solution is to destroy private property and put public health at risk.
Good thinking! *for a 12 year old*
Funny!! But praise in public, reprimand in private should be in bold on the cover of every newby manager’s handbook.
Tape a thumb tack to your finger and squeeze the milk and juice containers.
Yeah! That's the ticket.
Violate the Federal Food Tampering Act(1). What's 15-20 years in FEDERAL Prison.
(1) I think that's what its called. It was enacted after the Tylenol Poisoning Deaths in Chicago back in the 80's.
