I wonder if my trainee has noticed yet I take a slow deep breath before I ask what the f she's doing. πŸ˜… #officelife #cslife

I had $4 off sticker on a pack of meat. Cashier didn't deduct the $4. I had to tell her about it. I said I had a membership card that saved me $1 on frozen fruit and she was like "why didn't you tell me?" Would have cost me $5 to not speak up. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ #CashierFail

My trainee asked me such a dumb question I had to take a slow heartbeat slowing breath before I could answer. #Training #CSLIFE #OFFICELIFE

Me: Click here. Trainee: *Moves mouse away from where I pointed.* Me:Here. *grabs a pen and taps the screen* Trainee: *clicks next to where I tapped* Me:*Breathes in and out* Me: Right here *taps spot again* Trainee: πŸ’‘

Today I cleaned up the physical and digital mess of a co-worker that recently quit. Let's just say I got the biggest migraine I've had in a long time. #cslife #officelife

I'm trying very hard to train by asking questions when showing the newbies how to do something. Instead of just giving the answers. Basically how kids are taught here. #oops #cslife #whateverworks

Did anyone else suddenly get random topics on their feed today?

My work doesn't seem to understand why a big announcement tomorrow is not a good idea. I'm sure we'll get a few emails or phone calls asking "Is this real??" πŸ˜… #cslife

I'd rather hide in the bathroom at work with the florescent lights I can hear in my brain than sit at my desk while others gossip about random people. #OfficeLife #CSLife

Full page ad in today’s New York Times:

A customer kept telling me I told her I "deleted an email". No, I told her "someone one accidentally closed it". She's also calling me a liar.... the emails are literal proof of what I did not say. The truth is my nemesis closed it on purpose though.πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ #Cslife

I'm a Canadian working in Canada for an american company. #f**k

A customer complained her mystery bag was not assorted enough. Lady, you saved 80% off your items. Don't like them? Donate them. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ #Entitledcustomer #Cslife #officelife

You know you watch too many crime shows when you organize work notes like casefiles. #OfficeLife #CSLife

It's day 3 of the worst co-worker ever being away. It's so far been the best 2 days of my life! #Officelife #cslife

I asked my supervisor why one co-worker can do nothing for 2 hours and get away with it every day but I couldn't take my lunch at the end of my shift. Favouritism is the only answer.... #OfficeLife #CSLife

A really bad trainer is training my work on new tasks. The meeting ended 5 hours ago and my brain still hasn't recovered yet. #ScrambledInformation #CSlife #officelife

One of the newbies kept applogizing for asking me for help. 1.Asking for help is 100% ok and prefered. 2. I've got nothing else to do since we barely have enough work for 3 ppl and now there are 6 of us. #OfficeLife

P.S.A. Don't lie about what I told you in a email thread. I have literal proof I said no such thing. #CSLife

A customer kept ignoring my questions then got mad I wasn't helping. I told her I couldn't help until she answered my questions. She stopped replying. πŸ˜… #CSLife

Ended up being one of those meetings that could have been an email. πŸ˜…

I took tomorrow off for an appointment. Training on a new system starts tomorrow. I couldn't stop my mouth from talking before I said I'd join a training session virtually from home before my appointment. 🀐 #OfficeLife #CSLife

I used to hate cubicles and desks. My desk is being converted into my own cone of silence this week!! #OfficeLife #CSLife

To all the people who think as a Canadian I have no right to be mad or not feel safe being so close to USA. He's officially killed people now and it's only been 10 days!!

I went to my favourite store over the weekend to see it suddenly in their last day of operation. It's been 5 years since that happened to a store I used to manage. Still hurts. #RetailMemories
