No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do all American stores have greeters?
0·7 months agoThere are two types.
Greeters are typically someone staged at the door. They typically tend to be elderly, and often during Christmas season and sometimes longer. It serves two functions, being welcoming to customers and being a presence to thwart petty shoplifting. It obviously doesn’t stop someone committed but enough to make some think twice or choose a different exit.
The second type is just your average floor employee. This has become less common over the years with modern systems cutting back hours and shifts during the day. Back in the 90’s in my previous experience, we were expected to great EVERY CUSTOMER with a smile and a few words. Even offer to guide them to what they’re looking for. There were secret shoppers testing or observing and you’re get reprimanded for not doing it. Most customers appreciated the gesture but every once in a while you would experience a power tripping Karen/Ken being awful.

0·7 months agoAs neat as it sounds, the logistics would be a nightmare. Remember, Republicans don’t follow the rules, so encouraging Democrats to leave the south is easier than having Republicans leave the west coast for example. They want things to affect us, not them.

Yeah my German friend tells me of his coworker that he hasn’t seen since early this year, out sick. Can’t be fired, and no replacement. Or take a week off and be sick the following week. It’s not without its drawbacks but significantly better than what we have here.
Here, we tend to be afraid to take sick days.

politics @lemmy.world•JD Vance Says He’s Ready to Be President If Trump’s Health Fails
0·8 months agoThat was the goal from the start.
For me it didn’t matter what I used, until I tried growing it out and trying long hair. Frizzy hair horrors, until I figured out what hair care process worked for me.
Or live in a state that doesn’t screw you over. 1 hr lunch, two 15 minute breaks for 8 hour shift. Or half hour lunch minimum required after 6 hours work.
This is with or without union.
Being on the clock for lunch is a terrible idea. I like my own time thanks.
They’re all the same, until they’re not. Some are extra long or specialized for the item being assembled. Sometimes they come with brothers.
I don’t know where they all go, but they’re here, somewhere.

0·9 months agoAllow, as in let them work like they used to, with little to no regulation. It was never about kids wanting to work.
So domestic terrorism?
