The "Interested" channel on youtube did a bit on the same type of setup that Ikea has. They put the food near the registers as the smell of food is a calming distraction from the imminent payment at the register. It's more corporate psychology bullshit, not altruism. The CEOs can be next on the menu.
naw, the gambit works because you plan to get a hot dog on the way out, so you show up hungry
they cook the chickens they didn't sell raw when they get close to the point where they can't legally sell them, and sell them cheaper cooked to avoid actually taking the loss.
I didn't know that. We always get one when we go. You get like 8 meals worth of chicken and you can use the carcass to make stock from.
Can't beat that.
yeah i was just mentioning it because they don't actually take a loss on it
But then how could I impulse buy ethnic food I have no idea how to cook or if I like that I will let sit in my pantry till it spoils?
Their hot dogs are always next to their liquor, hon. They know what's up.
Costo is actually one of the better retailers to work for in the US.
Yeah if you just want to drive a forklift and move pallets around, costco and ikea are decent retail jobs. If you don't mind talking to people or know how to fix apple products, then the apple store pays really well. I'd recommend getting out of retail if you can though it sucks ass. I'd never go back to working retail. I'd rather dig ditches.
Edit: Another okay one is Best Buy, they pay okay, minimum of $15 and they have different avenues into better jobs like car and in-home install and their store reset team. Lowes and Home Depot I think aren't bad, but Target, Wal Mart, Kohl's and Bed Bath & Beyond all suck. I worked retail for a while and knew/know a shit ton of people who have worked different retail. Honestly almost all of my jobsites are retail stores now so I still see how things operate.
also would recommend starbucks to trans comrades, as long as you work 20+ hours a week you get insurance, which after 3 months covers all transition surgeries and will pay you when you're recovering. The pay and work might suck, but it's def worth it.
I'm on leave right now and I got my doctor note to go back but man does it feel good to sit around and shitpost while daydrinking with you guys. Unfortunately I have no other real marketable skills. Fuck capitalism. Plus the place I work at isn't that bad either.
what does a store reset team do
EDIT: here's what I found out on my own
WHAT IS A RESET?
To put it in its simplest term – a Store Reset is a carefully planned out set of changes to make your store more easily shoppable. You might ask yourself, “Well isn’t that the job of the product designer?” Well – yes and no. The manufacturer or producer must certainly make sure their product is marketable and competitive, but the retailer has the responsibility to ensure the product is seen! And how does a business owner make it possible for items to be easily accessible? Well, that is where a store Reset comes handy.
A store Reset is the process of rearranging/replacing fixtures, shelves, stand-alone units, merchandise etc., ultimately to make a retail business more navigable. For any store having troubles with their inventory turnover, a store Reset might be what they need to turn things around.
Yeah Apple pays good as hell for retail plus they give you stock for free which is pretty sweet. I lasted like nine months at the genius bar before customers treating me like dog shit became too much for my poor suicidal brain and I quit. Still kinda regret not going out by telling a customer to fuck off and getting fired lol
And the warehouse design and logistics is good for potential distribution when we seize the means of production (still we want to reduce consumption).
I basically lived off Costco food court food for about a year when I was really struggling financially. Absolutely based stuff. I’d go with my gf at the time and we’d get dinner and dessert for $7 total, and we weren’t even getting the cheapest stuff on the menu.
The only reason you can get that costco/ikea food for $1 is because the cheap price draws more people in, some percentage of which end up buying other shit while in there for the cheap food, which makes the company more money than it loses on the food. It's basically subsidized by wealthy or middle class people
basically it's just socialism with extra steps and shittier
Kirkland brand salsa is one of the best salsas I've ever had.
Their vodka is also just grey goose in disguise which means it the price grey goose should be.
get the cheapest vodka, put through a charcoal filter a few times. grey goose vodka
Also, fucking Kirkland Claritin is literally 20 or 30 times cheaper than Claritin. It's absolutely fucking bonkers. You get a year's worth for the cost of a week.
Relevant PSA: That shit doesn't expire by the way
Edit: Relevant PSA #2: You should take 2 claritin if you need it - there is no such thing as a non-drowsy antihistamine, it's a fucking lie, and 1 claritin does literally nothing most of the time. They dose it to 1 so they can advertise it as technically working and technically non drowsy.
In some states you also can buy alcohol without being a member.
What did '[the price of]' replace, or did he say 'if you raise the effing hot dog'?
The later, the brackets are used to add words in a direct quotation in APA style.
Tfw no local costco growing up so you had to deal with sams club instead.
That being said they sell pilgrims chicken tenders in bulk which are basically the same as dairy queen chicken tenders when fried and they fucking owned.
Unfortunately my gut instinct was Jelinek cutting wages or some shit to equal out the losses of the hot dog.
It's the sad truth, even CNN has a great article on the reality of how these costs are kept so low: https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/11/business/costco-5-dollar-chicken/index.html
