Today at work I spent two hours doing inventory adjustments for my department. The process is essentially, count the number of a product on the shelf and see if it matches the number the computer says we have, then change the computer number to the correct amount. One or two items missing is normal. Stuff gets miscounted or the wrong barcode gets scanned or maybe the tags fell off and we ring it up as something else. That’s just par for the course. 200+ items is not.
Today alone in just ONE department there was over $1200 of merchandise missing.
I’m going to get my butt chewed out because $1200 is missing from my department and I don’t know where it went. That’s $1200 that my store will have to cover. That’s $1200 that comes out of payroll budget, which is already way too thin. $1200 is almost exactly one months pay for one employee, meaning we will probably have to let someone go, because we are losing this amount on an almost daily basis.
Fuck you and your lame excuses. When you shoplift, it isn’t hurting the corporation. It’s hurting the employees.
When you shoplift it means that one of my coworkers won’t be able to pay her bills this month. It means she won’t be able to afford to eat every day. It means that my coworkers and I will have to find a way to sneak gas money into her purse so that she can get home.
It means that corporate is going to make us tighten security. We will have to purchase more cameras and more alarms and more tags, with money we don’t have, which means hours will get cut even more. It means we will have to participate in shrink prevention programs, like consenting to having our belongings searched before we leave because corporate still insists that most of our shrink is internal.
I can understand if you are stealing food because you’re hungry, or medicine because you’re sick. it’s still wrong, but I understand that and if I saw you stealing food or medicine, I would probably look the other way and pay for it myself.
But you can’t eat cosmetics, ok? You won’t die without lipstick. You won’t suffer because you don’t have Levi jeans. You won’t get sick because you don’t have a wallet & penknife gift set, you’re just being a shitty person.
Enjoy your $12.00 compacts you crudnuggets. I hope it’s worth our jobs.
I don’t get these comics made by cis people depicting trans individuals as loud and extremely rude when it comes to correcting people on their pronouns? Every single trans person i knew (and i mean every. single. one) was either too scared for their own safety to correct someone, or would kindly correct their mistake and try to almost curl in on themselves so as to not cause a fight.
If anything, the cis people who are being corrected are the ones who react so violently. It’s kind of ironic, but i guess cis people want to come off as being innocent people being harassed by the Evil Trans Cult.
