You know what really grinds my gears?

Half the time they're just stupid. If pushing a piece of equipment that literally no one else in the store is allowed to touch isn't a give away, I dont know what is.

To be fair, theres customers who push equipment that nobody else is allowed to touch either.

I once worked in a fairly big (building wise) place where customers weren't allowed using shopping carts (I know, its weird). Managers claimed it was to "increase shopping space for customers". All it did was anger them since people who were old or just had lots to buy had a hard time shopping.

Employees were allowed using carts to stock shelves. Customers knew the rule but tried their best to sneak around with a stolen store cart, some claiming they actually were employees.

The dept I'm in, we have these big red metal carts you can only get to if you're in the back room. There would probably be major issues if someone grabbed one of those

Right on cue, I was in Target yesterday and got to observe this older lady kinda barking at this gentleman as to the location of something. He was chuckling, telling her he didn't work here. She responded, "well, you have a red shirt on". I loved his comeback, "Yeah, I wear a red shirt every time I come to Target so people will think I work here."

Theres an entire sub on reddit just devoted to those stories. It's a fun read at times.

Stores that won’t shut up about “we’re local”

I have grown quite tired of the saying, "Say it louder so those in the back can hear."

News stories that refer to other sources for fairly basic info.

For example, let's say an article is talking about a player. It might be like "Joe Smith played for New York from 2011-2015 with a 3.56ERA in 100 games, ESPN reports."

Did they need to mention ESPN as a source when just talking about basic info on a guy like stats?

Or even an article talking about a TV show. If its talking about the show, or references a story from the show, it ends up like "Friends was a TV series that ran from 1994-2004, according to (website)". Or "According to (writers name), last week on (show name), viewers saw (insert plot for the episode)"

Again, did they need to randomly throw in a reference to some other website to quote some fairly basic/generic info?

Say it louder so Mike Florio in the back can hear.

And it's usually online comments in response to those "don't surround yourself with negativity, those people are trying to hold you back," posts on IG lol. I swear there is so much passive aggression on there disguised as empowering life affirming generalities, particularly for/from females.

I worked at Target back in 03 - 04. The job I've been at since then it just so happens our company shirts are red polos and get mistaken for an employee every time I go in there. Lol

There's also a Sutherlands (like Lowes or Home Depot) and their shirts are red polos so I get asked for help every time I go in there to. Lol.

People who say things like..

"It's not that hard. 2k should just make a generic football game with complete customization, with high school, college, and professional rules, the ability to have 32 to 130 teams, full roster customization, full uniform customization , the ability to add logos.." etc. etc.

The piece of **** mother****ers who grab a cherry out of a bag, eat it, spit the seed into their hand, and then throw it back on a display in the store. The shear number I find on a daily basis is insane at my job. Seriously **** those people.
