Put the grocery cart back
It always baffles me that this seems to be hard for many people
i used to work retail, what annoyed me more than the cart stuff was when people just left refrigerated items they didnt want anymore on shelves. is it rly that hard to walk a couple extra seconds to put it back? just spoils food, attracts bugs
edit: spelling
and legally, it cannot be put back it has to be thrown out.
Retail, not restaurant. Think groceries. It's packaged. It's fine to put back if it's still sealed.
Lmao a gallon of milk sitting in sporting goods for unknown amount of time is not going back in the fridge.
Literally not what I'm talking about. Holy fuck think before you idiots type.
Lmao 🤣 you a little burthurt over replies?
Not if it's been left on an unrefrigerated shelf for an unknown amount of time.
I think this might be locally decided. When I worked retail we always put the food back and pretended nothing was wrong
With us if it was still physically cold to the touch, we could put it back. Condensation on the milk jug kinda thing. Anything past that and it had to be tossed
You should catch a slap for that Bullshit.
I didn’t make the policy and I would have lost my job, and therefore my ability to pay to live, if I refused. I only worked there for a few months anyway. But yeah, man, direct your fury at the bottom of the totem pole
You misunderstand. I didn't mean, "it's fine to put random crap you find misplaced around the store back in the fridge". I meant it's fine for the people who put it on the shelf to instead put it back in the correct refrigerated/frozen section.
OFC you shouldn't put now unthawed crap back in the freezer or now warm things back in the fridge unless you know it hasn't been out long... That should be common knowledge. I assumed noone would be dumb enough to take that interpretation, but here we are...
At one of the bigger groceries I've been to, the wheels would lock up if you got too far from the store. Well, we'd parked outside that range so the wheels locked up and I had to awkwardly drag the full cart to the car.
Being a good person, I went to drag it back to the return spot. The wheels did not unlock. Dragged it all the way back anyway.
But given this, I can see why someone might just abandon their cart if the wheels are locked.
My Dad tried to argue "it creates jobs".
He really didn't want to accept that trolley pushers aren't given more time to fetch the carts.
All it does is make the job harder.
Omg I bitched out these two ladies at the theater many years ago. Left a massive mess of popcorn, left drinks, everything. I asked if they were going to leave it, they said they're helping the theater employees keep their jobs. I followed the bitches out of the theater and called them out in front of an employee cleaning another theater. Grown ass women. I was getting loud, they ran into the women's restroom to avoid me, I left after that. Fucking hate people.
It doesn't create any new jobs. It just creates a task the already employed people at the store need to deal with. Walmart claims they have dedicsted cart wranglers, but every store I have worked at just made CAP go out and do it during lulls in other tasks.
I know they definitely used to, since I was one. No idea anymore, since I haven't shopped there since I quit.
