Hey @costco ‼‼
🙏🏽 Please negotiate a fair contract with #Teamsters and don't make me stop shopping with you just when you were so smart about #DEI
#Costco reported $7.4 billion in #profits last year — a 135 percent increase since 2018. So how’s the company rewarding workers? By proposing less than 3 percent raises, kicking workers just $1 in the first year of a new contract. That’s not even enough to buy a Costco hot dog.

40 years ago, 11 #Dublin #supermarketworkers walked out on #strike to refuse the selling of #SouthAfrica fruit — an act of defiance that would make #Ireland the first Western nation to ban #apartheid goods.

Here's a shout-out to anyone working retail during this time of the year. Stay strong and know that you're appreciated.
For anyone out shopping, please show store staff some kindness and respect. If you've never worked it before, this time of year can be absolute hell.

It's the context that is important. The retail workers that now have to hear the same Christmas music on a loop for hours every day, the majority of their waking lives, for over 2 months are definitely worthy of sympathy.
A local M&S had a promotion earlier this year where a stand played a little tune and made an electronic cow moo sound every few minutes. The staff were very circumspect when I asked how annoying it was to them. (-:

Jobs: "Yeah, customers don't like to see cashiers sitting down. It displays a lazy attitude."
The fact that you'll let customers display whatever the fuck attitude they want, shitting on minimum wage workers while you higher-ups sit on your cushion-seated asses means that I do not give a golly goddamn motherFUCK what those shitfuckers think.
You want good customer service? Then you give good cashier service and let your workers fucking sit down, you money-grubbing, boot-licking, CEO-cocksucking BITCH.

I swear- Im the best socialist all by accident-
I once ended shift and plugged shit in wrong so we were fine n even but I maybe put just a FEW extra zeros when opening...and we were a just a few *coughsmillioncoughs* short.
Like- how tf xD
Its days later and Im still fkin like HOW TF- theres no double 00 on the reggie- i somehow had to have panic spammed 0s cuz of a customer n wanting to rush to the sales screen post break bc I fucked up already by clicking close till>leave open (but sign off for break, temp closing the reggie, in which case the side reggies are used by the temp takeover personnel)

Sn- 100% fuckups like this if anything "legit" is why corporate losses are high- bet. Overworked or tired staff arent good lol- needing sleep should be a fine reason to call out sick imo if not business wise to help avoid this lol [I struggle to keep schedules my body n brain runs on its own n i gotta do me stuff to keep balanced n aft lose on sleep]
If there's anything I've learned from starting work in a new-to-me industry, it's that my learning disabilities would've likely gotten me fired if it weren't for an understanding General Manager in my corner. I wonder just how many people on the spectrum also struggle in retail environments?
