"I just try to find glitches in everything"
I'm starting to understand what all this shit about big businesses and chains are about. I work at Rite-Aid on the weekends now doing stupid price changes, setting sales and wasting a lot of paper and cardboard. Everything is done on-line or with machines now, you think they would figure out an efficient way to get this shit done.. Anyway their whole slogan is "it's personal with us" or some bullshit. Does this company really think we want to be personal with customers that literally come and go? If you want personal go to a privately owned shop and make connections that way. At least they understand the products in their store, and yeah they're still trying to make a profit but they won't put their Christmas decorations out before fucking Halloween has even passed.. All these people want is your money, and sometimes it makes me sick that I'm apart of something like that. The people working in the store, my co-workers, are regular people, people who don't give a shit if we don't have that particular beauty product to stop your tits to sag, we're just trying to make some money to have a life of our own, most are just trying to take care of their kids. And how does this company expect us to give a shit when we're only making 7.25 an hour but the district manager rides up in his silver shiny car telling us to tell our customers to transfer their prescriptions to Rite Aid and "Get up to $120 back!!" And our reward if it gets accomplished is $50 in our pocket..yeah right. Can't we just put the fucking pamphlet in their bag? No, we have to make it personal. "Hey there person who I don't know anything about, I'm going to waste my time (and yours) telling you to you're going to get money if you get your ass in here more often to spend even more money, see I understand this company and the message it holds: WE JUST WANT YOUR MONEY and you're low self esteem self in our store." Hah, I'm just rambling now but I feel like things would be more personal if our reason to be nice to you wasn't run by money. But everything is ran that way. The cheaper the product, the darker the story, but the "better" you feel because you didn't spend that much. But what can we Americans do, everywhere you buy (yeah even target) gets their cheap shit from horrible places. Other places just seem better because of the way its merchandised and of course that's what I'm going to school for, haha. I'm going to try to buy more things from independent owners, people who want your money but aren't bossed around by planograms and deadlines that don't make any sense.
