If your customers have a high number of returns or have a high number of returns of the same item time and time again this is a scam. 1-3 times is okay and understandable. But repeated time and time again don't honor it. It's a scam. If you suspect a customer pulled an item off a shelf then demands a return w...

Has anyone else noticed that several customers have lost their social skills during covid? It's like they never recovered and frankly some have gotten worse. The karens have gotten worse and frankly more difficult to deal with. People struggle in basic courtesies, manners and basic politeness...

Our store manager is finally standing up to customers scamming the system with high returns. No more. it ends! No more kissing their @$$es. No means NO! I mean really? You can't tell me the customer is right when you know they're scamming the system with fake returns. That's not right. Note to all cashi...

Embarrassing to have to tell people it is "on sale". Sell your stock anyway. Sleazy s__t company.

So mixed answers are among managers and associates. There are managers whom will give mixed answers between charging bags and not charging bags. Do any of you decide whether to charge or not to charge bags? What do you all say and do if manager catches you for not charging bags?

The company acted too soon to go back to normal pre-covid store hours. Our staffing is so little we often end up forcing customers through sco because we have a lack of cashiers. Boy do customers get irritated and rude about going through sco. Customers: stop taking it out on the staff member that actua...
