      I've been that cashier, sort of. I used to work the Columbia House win-back campaign at a third-party call center about twenty years ago. My job was to try to convince former Columbia House customers to come back. We had a quota to fill. I didn't last long. Not many people who quit the movie-of-the-month club, which (at the time) required customers to mail back a form saying "Don't automatically mail and bill me for the Director's Selection this month" really wanted to come back, and management never really understood. I had to rebuttal 5 times before I was permitted to take "no" as the final answer. They always pushed the stupid "ABC's of Sales" (Always Be Closing) on us. Calls were monitored, and audited then coached on weekly and they always took the worst calls for coaching. Terrible job. I was REALLY glad when I heard the company went under.

I was just working in the music/movie/software department, I wasn't even selling big stuff like computers, TVs, or refrigerators. A buddy from another department helped me get one sign up, had me put in my number on the form so I would get credit for it, but the next week I didn't get any so my supervisor was like "You got one a couple of weeks ago but none this week, so you must not be trying. Go home today, we don't need you, come back tomorrow" (day off without pay after I already showed up). I didn't stick around long after that.

      In the late '90s, between "real" jobs, I took a job as a "retail associate" at a local Sears. You have lists of certain brands and items to push, and in return you get paid from those brands. At any one time, there would be a dozen different items on the list. For example, you might get $10 for every Toshiba SD-2109 VCR player you sold. Ever since then (until the Sears closed), I was always wary of, when going to a Sears, looking for an item, and the sales associate is trying to push a particular model onto me.

The secret shoppers would walk in the store and shop, usually asking certain questions (depending on the company's requirements). The employees usually had to remember to greet the person right away, tell them about a sale or new item, check on the shopper and see if they needed help finding something, show/take them where the items were, be very knowledgeable about anything they ask, and complete all the steps at the register. Then, the secret shopper would go home and fill out a report, answering questions about what the employee did or did not do. Then, usually a couple days later, the store would receive the report and what score they received based on what the employees remembered to do.

      I left many an items behind due to not wanting these conmen involved with my life as much as the actual stuff.
      You can also go back the next day and get the hard to reach items and then walk away from them when they do the same thing.
      Only if you know they will, though, or you might end up buying them. It sucks for the employees, but maybe they'll have a story to tell the manager to let him know just how badly his whole system sucks.

    This is super relatable. I stopped going to my local GameStop for years because of the employees constantly pushing the rewards program. I know it's not their fault and that's why I stopped going, I didn't want to support the company.
    Even at the grocery store I work at they want us to ask the customer if they have a rewards card they'd like to use. Luckily we don't have the power to sign people up for one so we can avoid the "would you like to sign up?" part of the conversation.

  • @BewareTheLilyOfTheValley

    My days as a cashier at Walmart were exactly this. They wanted us to really push selling credit cards...right at the register. So, in front of everyone, I'd have to ask people for all their personal information INCLUDING THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, with a long line of people behind them. The person was always declined and it was a hit to their credit. Inquiries stay on your credit report for two years. I always felt awful doing it and pissed that I even had to, because of course they also wanted you to perform a frickin' magic trick with checking out your customers very quickly as well. Hey, guess what? I could probably move faster if I wasn't asking people for the kind of information that shouldn't be shared in public!
    I went to Walmart today and it looks like they've returned back to just setting up a table on the side for someone else to ask about signing people up. Good, don't put that crap on the cashiers (which due to the understandably low demand for the job, they've switched to self-checkout, so now we can avoid those personal questions altogether when we just want to check out).

I despise self-checkout, cause it never works, and won't scan a lot of things, so unless you're just getting pre-packaged easily-scanned items, like stuff in boxes and cans, forget it. You can't use it to buy stamps, alcohol, turn in receipts from bottle return machines, and dealing with produce and so on is unreasonably difficult. But I don't sign up for store cards cause I know I won't be approved. If you're not approved in the store, they just say they'll send you a letter, but that means you're not approved, and it's a waste of time and paper. I hate all the steps I have to go through at every single checkout, I can't remember the last time I didn't go to Walgreens or CVS or the grocery store, etc.

    Nailed it! Can't remember how many times I've said, "Look I just want to give you this money for that item and leave". The Vessi skit was funny too!

      Yes indeed! I never figured out why they needed my phone number when all I was buying was an 8 pack of batteries. 😵‍💫

      You walked in to buy batteries for a flashlight and you walked out with a TV and RC monster truck?

    Surprised Ryan didn't go on a spiel about how loyalty programs are just a way for mega-corps to track our spending habits and monitor us. Ah well!

      So long as I keep getting coupons and free stuff for things I'm actually going to use in the future, I'm okay with it. I bought a bottle of body wash that was clearly labeled For Men at CVS a while ago and half the coupons were for women's grooming products. Like, what the hell am I going to do with a coupon for a lash curler and Nair as a man?

    Those shoes are seriously good! My friend and I took our kids out for Halloween and it was pouring rain all night. She kept stepping in deep puddles and stayed dry. They may be magic.

    This is pretty spot on. Only other thing that usually happens is the pressure to donate to some guilt based, "save fluffy bunnies with cancer" charity or......"do you wish to round up your final price to help feed the starving butterflies in Zambia"... or something. They ALWAYS ask for email / phone.....I ALWAYS just shrug off the sniper's red dot and refuse. I love to tick them off. hahahah
