The retailing behemoth dropped several ratings points in the American Customer Satisfaction Index, an independent national benchmark of consumer experiences of products and services sold to U.S. Read More…
28 Signs You’ve Worked At A Grocery Store For Way Too Long
Most of these apply to drug stores as well. Actually, almost any store. #1 is only true if the parents can’t control the children. My pet peeve–parents that let their kids play with footballs, playballs and other toys in the middle of an aisle. I’ve tempted to post a sign that says “We don’t Read More…

6 Nice Things You Do While Shopping, That Actually Drive Retail Workers Insane
While I have no personal experience with #6, I can definitely vouch for the other 5. And they are ranked perfectly from 1-5. In fact, yesterday I read this article at lunch, went back to work and the very first customer I encountered asked me “Do you work here?” I almost laughed out Read More…
Dumpster Divers and Corporate Waste
The company that I work disposes of a lot of goods that are either close to expiration date, seasonal merchandise after the season is over, or returned/damaged items.
