Employee recommendations

Have you ever worked retail hell? Have you ever worked for a massive company that doesn’t know who you are and probably never will?

If you haven’t, let me put it simply-There is NOTHING that compares to the sense of pointlessness you feel. The fact you don’t fit in, don’t expect a promotion, a raise, anything. You just get complained at all damn day long.

I think it’s time we change that up as a nation. Now we’re all going to bitch and moan, that’s just our right as Americans. But let’s work on the other end of it. Did someone really help you out? Did you make a better decision, find something you couldn’t? Did an employee of this faceless store do something to aid you they didn’t have to?

Say so. Say “Thank you”, for one. Second, tell the manager. Every store has comment cards or a feedback phone number, why only use it when you’re pissed off? Let the employee know you’re doing it too, so you can get a last initial at least. Make someone’s day a little better. Give the poor schlub working for the man a chance to earn a little more money, or at least an “atta boy.” Everyone needs it. Especially anyone working for minimum wage.
