No need for retail employees this Christmas season, as there is nothing on the shelves to sell.
Things are going to be real ugly this holiday season. In more ways than just this. Pink slips will be handed out gratuitously in the coming months thanks to the mandates.
People’s response to jab mandates?
Ain’t communism grand?
And muzzles.
1. Paid more to not work.
2. Mask mandates. Difficult to breathe.
3. Jab mandates.
4. Retailers are abused. Dangerous to stop shoplifters.
Surprised the quit rate isn’t higher.
I think the end is in sight for brick and mortar retail stores. I can see a future where Huge stores will display merchandise of all kinds which can be ordered at a kiosk in the store and then shipped from a central warehouse miles and miles away. There will be very few employees in the store and those that are there will be primarily support staff for the ordering portals.

Interesting interpretation of ‘vax or your fired’ and ‘you’ll be paid more in unemployment than you earned at your retail job’.

Haven’t been in a retail store, except for food/groceries, for many years. Why go?
Had been catalog shopping, and now online shopping.
Get what I want, delivered to my door, easy returns policies, for less money.
The brick & mortar Retail Store is a thing of the past.
It’s simply too expensive in today’s world of business.
Louis Rossman has been doing devastating reports from NYC on the empty buildings and the ridiculous rents.
It’s relatively the same for every business area across the country.

I go to Lowe’s near me in the Spring to pick up new plants and planting soil. Some stuff it doesn’t pay to buy on line.

No thanks to California’s mandate that all trucks on the docks must meet their environmental standard - which means only trucks made in the last 3 years can haul containers away.
I worked retail management for a couple of years and it opened my eyes to how many people are just f’ing aholes.
I wouldn’t want to be in a job that interfaces with the public right now.
People are plain nasty. Nasty because they are under the thumb of the government and they don’t like it and are in a generally bad mood all of the time.
As my wife puts it, “it was like morgue today at the supermarket.”
millions work for something to do and a few extra bucks. giv’m grief...and they’re outa there.
The mandates will finish off the job.
Are these people crazy. A one time disease with a 99% survival rate.
From the first hand on site employee......
The woman was promoted to supervisor of premises services in a prominent box store in a dark blue liberal state university town. (not Walmart)
All the maintenance and janitorial work is by contractors. In her new job many of the contract workers do not speak English and were flown from the released migrant camps in Texas.
There must be a cure that exterminates the Biden plague destroying America Turning a red state blue with illegal aliens should be punishable by extermination. There is no law.
MANDATES AND MORE MANDATES AND THESE IDIOTS CAN’T FIGURE THAT OUT. PEOPLE CAN AND WILL WALK AWAY, YOU CAN’T MAKE THEM DO ANYTHING!
