I'm a lover of candy and me loving both enables me to live a happy candy filled life of joy

 

when the hell did this become the food thread

 

please don't do this here

 

I think I like being at the mall more when it's busy. Makes me kinda uncomfortable when it's just me and an employee in the store

 

And they just stare at you and ask you three times if you need help when you've already made it clear you DON'T.

 

I hate when people in stores noticeably follow me around cause they think I'm gonna steal. Idk if my anxiety and overall awkwardness translates to a look of guilt, but go awaaaay

 

I feel like there's no middle ground where salespeople are helpful without being intrusive

 

I think there's just no middle ground with us weirdos who post on this site. Normal civilians probably appreciate it.

 

this is why I'm bad at my job

I refuse to talk to customers unless they talk to me first

I ain't trying to bother anyone.

 

I used to work a seafood counter and I would always say hello to anyone walking by and they would almost always get nasty and say they're just looking, meanwhile really all I was ever doing was saying hello because damn was that job boring.

So I can say I understand the other side a bit, but yeah, I'd much rather be left alone after an initial "How ya doing" kind of approach.

 

There's this one store in the mall, and either they exclusively hire annoying people, or they train their employees to just be the worst. I like it when store employees say hi and then something like "let me know if you need help finding anything", but in this one they're constantly following you around and trying to push more stuff on you and just talking way way too much. Very annoying.

 

I used to work at Cracker Barrel and the retail employees HAVE to constantly engage with everybody looking around or else they get in trouble. What a miserable job.

 

That happened at Zumiez when I was going Christmas shopping. They literally checked in with us every few minutes and it was every employee asking the same "find everything ok" question and I was just saying yes thank you a bunch.

I'm assuming it's just them doing all that because Christmas and not an every day thing.

 

The employees at Culver's say "my pleasure" instead of you're welcome and it feels super forced. I don't know if that's all of them or just the one where I live. They also have a recording come on the speaker at the drive-thru that starts off loud and says, "Welcome to Culver's!" like they're going to take your order, but it doesn't.


Typing. Like. This. is fucking annoying and everyone should knock it off.

 

My cousin worked at Hollister when she was in high school and she said that they had all kinds of dumb rules of what to look like and what to say to people. She wasn't allowed to have her hair straight, it had to be wavy. No nailpolish unless it was a pale pink. No lipstick. When people walk in she had to greet them with "hey what's up". Like...what.

 

Hollister is always dark as fuck and I don't see how you can buy clothes there lol

 

They've lit it up a bit in the one closest to me so you can actually see now

 

I always appreciated that Hollister played good music

 

That's their secret, keep the lights low so you don't know you bought ugly shit til you get home

 

I just remember feeling like I was in a poorly lit gas chamber with terrible cologne being sprayed in the air at one of them.

 

People who hold up the line at 5 something in the morning at a gas station so they can buy scratchers and tickets so they can stop being temporarily embarrassed millionaires are some of the fucking worst. Like people are going to work, go do that shit when you get off work while you buy your cheap smokes and Mike's Hard Lemonade.

 

So specific

 

8/10 times, that's exactly who it tends to be. The other times, it's either a withered old lady who can remember the day the Titanic sank into the bottom of the ocean or just straight up dumpster people who have nothing better to do anyway. Like I just want to buy my gas and my coffee so I can go to work without being late, the fact this happens to me almost every time I go to a gas station in the morning is beyond me and it angers me.

 

yeah man i've like, never experienced that. that's not even a thing i knew was a problem people were faced with

though if we're talking things that annoy us, if you're a person that does this instead of just replacing the roll like a sane human being, then you're a monster and a half

 

I like Mike's Hard. I don't really drink it anymore due to health reasons but that stuff was my un-ironic go-to for the longest time lol
