i worked at hobby lobby in high school and they didn’t use barcodes for anything so sometimes i’d ring up $30 whatevers as $3 if an old lady told me i had nice skin

I used to work at a place that gave us $20 leeway per customer to "make it right" and a young mom didn't have enough EBT for baby formula *and* her own food. She was crying and apologizing, handing back her food. I made the formula free so she wouldn't have to choose.
This is lovely but also I want to live in a world where that mom doesn’t have to choose, you know.? Yikes.

Yeah, I felt so bad seeing what she was going through there. She should never have had to choose in the first place.

When I was working at BJ’s I kept coupons at my register for diapers, wipes, formula etc to apply to families orders. I got yelled at about it by my miserable supervisor even though I was still putting them in the drawer after scanning them and not reusing them. I kept doing it🤷🏼

That's super nice, families need the help they can get. Where I worked we couldn't offer coupons at checkout. You could walk around with some ads and show people coupons if you were on the sales floor, though. If nobody was watching, I'd tell customers to ask me for ad coupons.

They weren't good to employees, but that policy is one of the good things they had.
