@Lithium I suspect a lot of it comes from people seeing tumblrs (and a LOT of them seem to be troll tumblrs) with absurd views and assuming all social justice movements are just like that.

Is your yarn acting up?

Man. This was depressing and horrifying. Doubly so after a shitty day.

But I guess the upside is, my lotion got here and new work shoes.

@HorrorHound Oh goodie. 'dance monkeys dance'.

Everyone take a drink now. We're hitting RL Anger BINGO.

Aww. :3 What a cute puppy.

@Admiral Maybe they just want you to water your damn houseplants.

Dear family,
Stop having me make a budget and then promptly ignore the fuck out of it.
Stop assuming. I said NOTHING about thing for dinner. NOTHING. The dinner item would've gone over budget, so I didn't buy it. Of course, you didn't seem too fussed since you bought a shit ton of stuff for yourself that DID go over bitched.
Stop bitching at me for going over budget. I was under budget on my stuff. Yes, I paid for our stuff but sweet Jesu christi.
Family: Can't live with 'em. Can't live without 'em.

@Wizz Aw. Happy birthday!

Also, I am annoyed tracking is being weird and a federal holiday is screwing with me getting my tea fix.

@ThatOneDude Shit, he's onto me! jumps fence

1. Please do not let your child chew on the trigger and nozzle of a pesticide can. Thanks.
2. Please do not shit on the floor and trail it throughout the store without telling anyone.
3. Please do not snap your fingers, point and whistle like I am a dog. 'Excuse me', or some other verbal equivalent is just fine. I am human. A retail worker, but a human nevertheless.
4. Please do not pee on things.
5. Please do not arrive in full Nazi regalia, rant about gun control and then get fussy when we ask you to leave. At least we were nice enough to let you get your latte and be sad first.
6. I swear to god, if another caffeine deprived asshole tears me a new one over a keurig machine, I'm going to find the nearest black and decker coffee maker and brain them with it.
7. Do not allow your child to play with the knives. Not even the ones in plastic covers.
8. Please do not let your toddler try to rock the 70" LED TV.

1. Please do not snap your fingers, whistle and point in front of you like I am a dog. Thank you.
2. Please do not let your child chew on the nozzle of a can of pesticide. Thank you.
3. I realize it's fun to have pizza, Starbucks, etc. at our store, but I swear to god 2/3rds of people ignore the trash cans every 3 aisles in favor of stuffing trash somewhere.
4. Fuck you, people who leave ice cream hidden in non-freezer shelves. We have to throw it and the stuff that ice cream melted all over away. So damn wasteful!
5. Stop opening things outside of Guest Service. We often have to defect it out if we can't repackage and sell. So, so wasteful.
6. Groups of teenagers are the worst.

@Cobaltasaurus Target. We get a lot of the upper middle class types who assume we're subhuman or something. Or people who are convinced they are above those of us who work there. I can't afford a lot of stuff while I work there - I'm focusing on debt management, and I am only a part time worker, that much is true. But I can make enough to work on things, squish some savings and have a bit for funsies, like PC parts or a loot crate now and then.

Honestly, most people who go into Target are awesome. It's just easier to complain about the outright assholes, than to type up how you get worn down from people constantly asking where (popular thing) is. We've been hit kind of hard by the boycott (whee), and we do get the odd protester. We still get people harassing employees about that policy, but fuck 'em. Corporate made the policy, it's a good one and people need to not be assholes.

@Thenomain I will admit I was a bit stunned to move for a moment. I just asked if I could help him find something. He sighed, beckoned over. And it turns out he was one aisle away from thing he wanted. I really just don't know sometimes.

@Auspice Me, too. I usually like about the same amount of stuff. So I donate or gift it.

Fucking scalpers. It's a pain to get special editions, and seeing people list a dozen of them on ebay at stupid markups.

But that's not necessarily my main beef. Target sells Funko Pops. Sometimes we get exclusives. And there's this jackass who always comes in for said exclusives. Lately, we haven't gotten in our shipment of those zurr-whatsits Batmans and some others. The Suicide Squad pops sold out inside of a day, aside from a Boomerang. Joker's Pop? Yeah, that was sold out within minutes of the store opening.

This dude has been calling us RELENTLESSLY about them. No, we don't do preorders or holds for them. Jesus. Today, he comes in and bitches at us that 'YOU GUYS MUST HAVE FIRST DIBS, HUH?' No, you fuckwit. What part of 'we haven't gotten our shipments and we only got TWO Jokers' do you not get? Every single fucking special release, you're here to scoop them ALL up. Not one or two, nope. You gotta have them ALL.

So yeah, we're onto you. We know you're a scalper. Sure, you don't run afoul of store limits and you game them by bringing friends. But you're still a douche for bitching at us, hounding us and generally being one of those assholes who ruins the fun of special editions for everyone else.

@Cobaltasaurus Oh gosh. I'm so sorry.

I never had any vendetta against you.

I'm so sorry. They look like a loved, content catte.

Ice!? In Texas!?

SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

... seriously, please do because we seem to re-enact Looney Tunes every time it happens ...

@Luna Yeah, HEB owns. I love their selection of drinks (Mmm, maine root root beer...).

Switching SSRIs. hey, it's not like I DIDN'T want to faceplant.
