I'm glad to be home after a long day. One of the managers asked me if I have another job and asked why I don't. Then he said he's glad I'll be studying, so I can justify not having another job that is more reliable and consistent. That was an even bigger push to start applying for something else.
I later go on to find out that a girl who's only job is this one got fired because she used her discount card too much. She said she shared it with a couple of family members, but somehow, they spent a few thousand dollars using her discount card.
The person who shared her card with more than ten people didn't get fired. Although, she racked up less money than the person who only shared it with two people.
customer interaction today
Me: you purchased this over X days ago, so unfortunately I cannot refund this today.Customer: really? scoffs and walks away
Me: next!
Customer: it's only been ___ days, not however many days you said."
Me: I'm positive it's over that. Do you want me to bring up a calendar and we can count together?
Customer: yes
I get to a week and then she realises.
people are eccentric, potential trigger warning, someone's way of dealing with trauma
Customer: I placed an order online and it says it has arrived. Can you get it for me?Me: sure.
The order had just arrived from couriers. I go and grab it.
Customer: Thank you so much. Have a great day. No, have a great weekend. And may your children live happy and healthy lives. If you don't have children, extend that to your pets.
She moves to the side and opens her order, which was a t-shirt she made that said, "I am a victim of paedophilia. __ raped me."
I hope that having the t-shirt didn't prolong her distress or lead to someone else reading it and being triggered by it.
so she ordered that particular tshirt? On purpose. ๐
Yepppp
wow
I understand not having shame, because why should she
and I understand being over it and matter of fact in discussing life and the past
but this seemed needlessly defamatory and provocative, even hate driven
I can't see who would be helped
I like to think she's gonna wear it at the next family gathering and call out her abuser.
And we should have hate for those who hurt us and they should be called out for their anti-social behaviour.
I really hope she does.
not everyone has family support and not everyone has the mental strength to call abusers out
sometimes all people can do is have enough strength to save themselves
fuck it's so depressing that trump is a proven rapist, found guilty in a court of law and there are still people who think he is innocent and there are people who voted for him knowing his guilt
I agree with all of this and know it all too well, I'll will add some people don't have the strength to save themselves.
Trump-dump is another problem - him becoming president again is 'permission' for like-minded individuals to act on their desire for control over women, lgbtq+, minorities, etc. anyone who isn't a white maga man is in danger. The minorities who voted for him don't understand they are going to be victims too, no minority is safe with Cheeto-lini in power.
