You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I think this applies to many days of the week. My Wallyworld never has a moment that there isn't a ton of people crammed inside.

Although my wife and I went there on Dec. 24, at about 3pm, and surprisingly, it was the emptiest I've ever seen it before.

My rant?

Those stupid security check boxes that they give you to provide your not some bot. There are times I can't read the damn letters!

Here's another one.

Went to the dollar tree store today to purchase 3 Valentines Day cards and a soda. I became stuck behind a couple that rang up 29.00 worth of merchandise.

Gotta love it. lol

Girls in general.

Oh, and when rather than being spread out over a nice period of time, everything bad that could possibly occur happens at once.

Liverpool football.

Seriously, nothing more frustrating than being a Liverpool fan (except being a Chicago Bears fan...or an Oregon St fan)

I think I suck at picking teams.

When people squeeze a bottle from the middle or top. It bothers me more than it probably should.

Fishing for compliments. I just called this girl out on it. Just stop it.

I would "like" your comment, but maybe you were just fishing for a compliment?

I do agree with your statement though z

To add one of my own:

The circus in the media over the resignation of the Pope seems a bit crazy. Call me uneducated, but won't they just get another guy who believes the exact same things and continue on as if nothing ever happened? You'd think Jesus Christ himself hung up the cleats.

Listening to the radio somewhere and uttering the words "My god I hate this damned song" only to find yourself singing "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy" approximately 30 seconds later...

Or in my case...."Trouble! Trouble! Trouble!"

All the people who show up to go for a run in their "seal skin" suits as soon as the temp drops below zero outside. None of these people were outside running the past month, but since it's dangerously cold out they have to go run in public so we all can see how awesome they are.

My cousin. He lived with us for 10 years. He obviously needed help and none was given.

From my fingers to your eyes...

Finally, looks like a supervisor comes over and the cashier is rapping with the supervisor. After 10 minutes, the supervisor opens up the next register. This moves me to the guy ahead of me. We were both talking to the supervisor and he said, he tells customers if they are holding up the line, but he said it's a double edged sword because they are understaffed.

I say, don't get to the point where you are understaffed. A busy Sunday and 3/4 of the registers were closed.

Moral and note to self: Never go to Wallyworld on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday.

Having worked in retail before, sadly that's just how most Companies operate. They would rather save costs, by cutting payroll as much as possible even if it means less service, and an inconvenience for the customer. It's pretty much their way of saying, you're going to wait in line anyway so we might as well not pay 3 extra people 10 bucks an hour.

I worked in a department store for a few years where frequently one person would have to cover the entire Housewares, Shoes, Kids Clothing, Bath departments and another would cover Mens, Womens, Young Adult clothing... and the only time of the year when they staffed 1 person in each department was seasonal help over the Holidays. End of Nov - through beg. of January.

Why soooo many people including myself avoid stores and order online whenever possible.

My wife works 12 hour shifts. 7p-7a. She ends up having to stay over half the time. She is also supposed to get every other weekend off but she has to work the Saturday on those weekends for the foreseeable future due to being understaffed.

She worked 42 hours in 3 days a couple weeks ago. Its good money, but really freakin grinds my gears sometimes. Especially the weekend thing.
