Freaking people who leave their carts in a parking spot… Straight to the top of the list!
If everyone put them away, the person hired to put the carts back would lose their job. Yes, some used to hire more. Plus, supermarkets may consider having more than 1 trolley area that isn't miles away from the cars parked there so they can ram more cars in there.
Could be kinder on folks with health issues that don't have a blue badge....
If the grocery store didn't have to spend money putting carts away, the same person could be working inside the store where it's warm and dry. Shitty people are preventing everyone else from better service and/or lower prices.
It's adorable if you think that extra person is going to be working in store. There is a whole science around queue lengths that they use to cut jobs or push you to self service.
I guess the person would be warmer at home with no job, but it isn't a good solution.
Its adorable that you think someone's being hired to only do cart work in the modern day
That's one responsibility for someone doing a shit ton of other things, usually shopping for remote orders nowadays
So yeah, they'd be inside, return the cart you massive cunt
I dunno about nowadays but where I'm from Cart Boy was totally a single function job in retail stores. You'd be hired just to gather carts. My friend liked it when people left them further away cuz they'd have an excuse to dawdle a bit and not interact as much with annoying customers.
For me, we primarily spent time bagging groceries until a decent number of wayward carts built up. Then we would collect them until there were only a few stragglers that weren't worth collecting by themselves and go back to bagging. Nowadays it would probably be gathering stuff for instacart orders instead.
So you think if the cart guy helped out the full time in the remote orders they wouldn't reduce a head count from that role? You know very little about how businesses run.
You could call me a cunt, but you're either naive or don't give a fuck about anything other than having acres of space for your SUV.
As someone who has done this job, I promise you, there's always another task to accomplish. Normally the cart fetchers are also the store's defacto janitorial staff, and there's plenty of cleaning to be done at a grocery store. You are ignorant in this arena.
Why do you think there is always another job to accomplish? Do you think that work magically appeared out of nowhere? Do you think your colleagues are slacking or do you think they had removed a head count from the cleaning staff because the cart staff will now do that role?
Dude there's never fucking been a role that was just cart fetching what gives you this weird ass idea
Not where you work.
You also failed to answer any of my points. If the head count is 0.25 per hour rather than 0.75, they'll combine rolls and cut a head count. If 2 roles require 0.75, then they need 1.5 staff and need to round up, if it's 1.1, they round down and a headcount gone. The shift will be run with 70 staff rather than 71.
How can you work in the role and not know how it works?
Oh hey look they can't read, either! No wonder their arguments are so piss poor
