    Use this knowlege going forward:

    • if the door is locked the store is definitely closed
    • if i am an employee where the door is finally locked? It is both my prerogative and my absolute pleasure to not have to talk to you.

    There is never a reason to talk to someone behind a locked door because the type who does always want the same thing: an exception. And the type of person who believes they deserve this exception is the absolute last person you want to let inside (or even waste time arguing with). Mgmt knows this too, they just been working long enough theyre too wily for you to see them from the outside lol.

    Anyone who has worked with the public has at one point gone to that door and had that lesson taught to them the hard way, guarantee it.

    Also “guest”? this isn’t a work huddle. Don’t you ever use that corporate trash-assed word after you clocked out. You arent c-suite, don’t use their language

      so happy you said this. the use of the word “guest” instead of “customer” really gets under my skin

        Same with “associate” or “partner” instead of employee. Garbage nonsense. It’s insulting.

          dont even get me started on “content” instead of “videos/tweets/games/whatever”. not to mention the term “content creator”

          I can get this one more so. My business has a client side and a contractor side. People say “user” and it’s too ambiguous.

        I recently had a cashier call another one over for a purchase issue of mine and referred to me as a “guest”. It felt weird. I was not a guest. I was trying to exchange money for goods and services and leave.

        I don’t know what corporate big brain came up with the guest terminology, but it feels weird from every angle.
