    I get how you feel. Worked in a similar electronics store in Norway for 8 years. Miss the feeling from making a great sale every now and then. I remember learning about everything in the store so that when customers that had to buy everything (because of a divorce, fire, flood etc.) I could go with them through the entire store to get everything so that they didn't have to bounce between salesmen for every category. Some thanked me for doing that and said it made everything so easy considering the situation they were in. I would even be the one to deliver everything and set it up for them afterwards since we did deliveries and installs. Learned a lot and got to be a better person for it i feel. Good times.

    Well said about the tipping culture in some areas of the world. Coz tipping is inherently a good thing but then in some regions corporations/companies have now used it as a way to not pay their employees a liveable wage and they basically put the onus on the customers to then subsidize. Coz where I originally come from in Zimbabwe we tip as an extra so people will tip in the hospitality industry as a thank you to show appreciation for the service but it's not inherently built into the culture like it is in Canada for example where it's the same thing with the US where there's an added % for most services even ones that aren't above and beyond but you end up almost feeling guilty coz you know it would probably help since most of those workers are probably earning just enough to get by and so tips make a difference for them when in reality that responsibility should be on the company itself to cover the bulk of that.

      @CatWithThumb but a person making abnormal amounts of good money through tips is only an argument for businesses as to why people that get paid atrociously that suffer and literally can't live paycheck to paycheck. Just because people are capable of making lots of money doesn't stop the fact even more are struggling and have no security.

    Yeah this is far from the reality in the US.
    I worked in a late shift at Fred Meyers and some of the things that happened that shouldnt are insane. I had multiple homeless men "offer" me meeting up after work (Im also a dude) by telling me all about their tent and how they have condoms etc. while following me around the store. Had multiple regulars that would come in and be known shoplifters (2+ times a week). Employees cant do anything and they know it, so they'd come in and start screaming slurs and cussing everyone out (employees AND customers) while blatantly walking through isles, not only stealing stuff, but destroying the displays too. I've had people not let me scan their ID for alcohol because "I dont want the government getting my info". Been pushed into doing non certified activities (forklift mainly). Had to deal with a ton of scammers. And cleaned up some HORRENDOUS filth. I was also forced into overtime countless times just to be punished later because "we cant afford it", like make up your mind. They were also insanely manipulative. Had a pay for college program but there was a massive catch that you had to be fulltime and on call. This just isnt possible with in person classes. Also they lovingly scammed me out of Holliday pay, scheduling me work Halloween, Thanksgiving, New years, and Christmas eve just to tell me when I looked back at paystubs you only get doubletime if youve been there over a year (I want to say I was there around 9-10months at the time).
    Ofc there are Karens and just generally unpleasant people, but they never made me fear for my safety or job like some of the bad ones were. The management was also crazy bad. I hired on with them knowing I had a trip ~3 months away that I couldnt miss. On the plane get called that I need to come in or Ill be terminated. I came back to my job, but Ill never work retail again.

Also in a lot of places like California or New York if you do defend yourself against something like a robber or whatever else your just as likely to go to jail as the robber would be. It's not the same in every state but like that in many, and it's like that in most cities.

    Elgiganten used to be alright, but it's absolutely awful now. The employee's only goal is to sell you massively overpriced crap, even if a phone is perfectly fixable their policy is to tell you that you need a new one with extra warranty.
    And if you find a product cheaper somewhere, they will honor the price deal as they claim, but they will make you wait a _VERY_ long time to "verify" it. Sometimes that wait time is in DAYS.
    There's just no reason to ever go there unless it's the only retailer with a certain product you want (even then you may as well order it from Germany or something, basically same delivery time if it's not in your local store).

We have righties trying to roll back child labor laws. Believe me it's disgusting. Amazon got sued because they were refusing to put ACs in the trucks of their delivery drivers in 100+ degree weather, then instead of paying for those ACs they spent millions fighting to get the legislation reworded from all trucks, to all *new* trucks.

    The big thing on the tipping is that the price of the wage is offset to the customer rather than the business. If a pizza driver makes an extra 10 dollars an hour in tips, that's not the business paying him 10 extra dollars an hour, that's the customer paying that money. If the business wanted to maintain their margins and still have the customer pay that increase they'd have to raise their prices to afford paying those higher wages. Without a price increases, most business couldn't afford that big of a wage increase across their laborforce. Most stores, if they paid 10 more dollars an hour to their equivalent of a pizza driver, would go out of business. With that being said, tips are generally cringe.
