Ask me about what kind of shit I saw working for a grocery store. It was for 6 weeks at a Kroger, if you must ask.

weirdest customer or purchase?

Not a customer, but there was always a guy that said he represented Danon who came every week and would go through the boxes of yogurt I was stocking to see what kind of stuff we were selling and take a picture of the barcodes. I don't know if he really was but it was interesting.

Why did you stop working after 6 weeks? Was it that bad?

Was there a generous staff discount, and did you use it to purchase hard liquor to quell the ennui?

I still can't understand how people put themselves through service sector mediocrity for a shitty pay check. You can make up some fairly professional business cards and get gigs doing shit for $80/hour. Info - tech and computer repair is the way to go. You don't actually need to know what you're doing.

Fucking dumb why peepoh. Think outside the cube nigga.

Mental illness making college at college time impossible. I'll probably take the Twitter journalist route and learn to code sometime.
College is a waste of time unless you want to be a doctor or lawyer, web development is overfilled with Pajeets who'll be hired off UpWork. I recommend you learn mobile development or get into data science, if you have a short attention span then learn digital marketing, pay's just as good if you can do shit on your own and look for boomer clients.

I worked at a Kroner variant for a year and a half and it was a good gig. The dairy department at my store was nice. Problems always came from the people up top. Was your store understaffed and overworked? What made your managers so bad? I never worked stocking but disorganized and neurotic grocery managers ruined a lot. Kept churning through em like crazy.

My weirdest customer was a woman who bought out our whole shelf of bananas one night, saying she had wrestlers she had to feed. Took forever to ring them because bananas are sold by weight and the registers scale can fit like 1 bundle of bananas.
Also had a couple with ~5 kids and a $600+ order and at the end they whispered at each other they had too many kids. It was kind of heartbreaking.

Did your store have Boars Head and was your Boars Head Distributor Vendor a pompous ass who repeatedly cost their deli associates big sales because of his temper/stupidity
