That job would suck balls, man. I swear I'm that person who's got their bags open and receipt handy 3 metre from you to save the hassle from you asking. I always add in "have a great day mate".
Amen, more people should be like you :)
I can't wait to quit even though I'm hardly ever the door person these days.
Don't worry. I've got shit stuffed down my undies. Not in my bags.
Just joking.
This is the way.
not me
I dislike the presumption of guilt. It's insulting.
Tho of course I would never be rude to a shop assistant. I just politely refuse.
It's insulting if you give a shit. I don't. It's not personal. It's the poor bastard's job. I like to make it easier for them.
It's the owners , not the staff, who have the bad attitude.
The older staff don't give a shit. The poor teenager/young adult on the door is ordered to man it. Them thinking "why didn't they show me their bag?". "Was I rude?". "Was I assertive enough?". "Were my bosses watching". Then going home neally in tears thinking they will get a lecture next time they're rostered.
It's good and all to say no but how many people actually take it up with management and say "putting young people on the door is wrong" . Not many.
Amen 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I don't like the presumption of guilt either, but what about places like Costco where they go through all the items on the receipt? Would you stop then?
Be angry at c-suite corpos for making the rules then, not the min-wage workers at the door. Min-wage workers have no say in the rules of the store/company.
