It certainly doesn't help that I'm only a few courses away from my degree and my school is being a real shit about things.

 

who was bailando going up against for song of the summer?

also was Nicky Jam a help to the Spanglish movement this year? I swear it feels like he was the first Spanglish song.

 

Magic's Rude or Iggy's Fancy probably.

 

Shudders

 

have an interview at 2:30. i'm used to morning interviews and right now i'm more in the mood for a nap than trying to sell myself to a company. bleh.

 

my friend got hired by pure noise records as a graphics designer.

and I want to be an awful person in the comments section calling out the label

but like I know her friends will defend them.

 

This week was the first time I preemptively took the trash down to the curb the night before trash day. I always do it the morning of on the way to my car for work as I'm juggling all these things. And my driveway is long and steep so the juggling is real!


But my rm came home later last night and must have been on autopilot cause she brought the trash back up!! I'm like sis did u not notice it was full?? So I had to lug it back down this morning. This is a dumb complaint but I was so proud of myself! For nothing!

 

I'm so bad about taking trash out. I normally miss a week, and have to double down the next

 

I knew I was certified cranky today when I was in line at the grocery store and was internally yelling at the tabloids. Why did Taylor disappear? BECAUSE SHE DID DAMAGE CONTROL AFTER SHE ANNOYED EVERYBODY WITH HER SLITHERING AND OVER THE TOP PR RELATIONSHIP. Did Britney Spears secretly wed? Is she pregnant? THE GOOD SIS BETTER HAVE LEARNED FROM IMPROMPTU SECRET WEDDINGS


Also for ppl who work at grocery stores... what does "three's a crowd" mean? Does that mean they need another cashier cause the line is getting long? What other codes exist? I wish we had secret codes at my job

 

I'm your resident grocery store person and I've never even heard that before.

 

Jennifer Aniston has been pregnant for 5 years like an elephant

 

Also according to those magazines Kim and Kanye have been divorcing ever since they got married

 

I shop at Safeway and always mean to ask my dad when I hear them say codes cause he works at Safeway but I never remember them. It always makes me feel like the FBI is around or I'm in the middle of a bank heist or something

 

I googled it and apparently it's a policy at Safeway so like there will never be more than three people in one line?

 

That seems unreasonable tbh lol. But it must work because the guy said three's a crowd and then a cashier popped up and opened up a new lane and I moved on up in the world!

Apparently there is a reddit thingy for people to talk about different store codes. I'm hooked and now imma go to the store and hear the codes and give a sly smile like I KNOW

 

pls share these codes so I can feel cool also

I'll even try them at my work

 

We have too many numeric codes and alert colors. Sometimes I blank on the code to get into our locker room and I also blank on what my locker code is. My brain is like scrambled eggs at the end of the day.

 

it's reddit so... they killed it pretty quickly with their grossness but it was fun for the two seconds it lasted!
Folks who work in grocery/retail stores, what codes do you announce over the intercom that aren't in your handbook? • r/AskReddit

 

I learn all the codes from Grey's and pretend like I remotely know anything about anything when they call one


but forreal I couldn't handle the pressure of codes. Sometimes if I think too hard about my pin number or the last four of my social security I forget them completely. I can't be trusted with codes.

 

In high school when I worked at Walmart I told friends what all their codes were and Walmart is dumb enough to have live immediate access phones on the floor so friends would always come in and make the the code pages ("service for footballs" - surveillance to sporting goods, "running water in *insert department* - someone stealing who will probably run when confronted). The best was they would page random things to electronics where I worked and to see wide eyed managers come sprinting like gazelle time and time again. Ah, high school attitudes.

 

the only codes I know are code 1 which means manager/head cashier is needed or like code 5 which is someone has potential fake money.

The codes in that Reddit thread made me sad because they were just jokes.

 

I always wonder what happens if you get fake money but don't know it and then try to use it and get busted?? Like best case scenario ur out $100 which is sad


I feel like it started off as ooh shoplifter codes, which I'm nosy so I can work with that, and then it turned into like... let's grossly rank women and announce it over the intercom codes. I feel like I'm gonna be side eyeing everything over intercoms now just in case!

 

I can only speak from my brief experience as cashier but if they gave us a $100 bill we would have a machine to check it.

If we were unsure then we would call for manager/head cashier.

The best part? I actually had someone hand me a $100 bill when I was training as a cashier and I freaked out.

also yeah it got super gross and the only time we ever joked on the intercom is after hours with just us workers messing with the managers.

 

I used to work at a casino and they never made us check $100 bills which I thought was weird. They'd eventually check them in the vault but like at that point you don't know where it came from so what's even the point lol. If I was a counterfeiter I'd make a zillion fake $1 bills cause nobody checks those!

 

That seems like a good idea but then people would be curious like why are you spending fifty $1 bills on dinner or like a new tv.
