Irl Shit - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Context: I work at a PetSmart, “part time” as a cashier and animal care associate. I’m also a trans guy and a therian

Below the readmore bc there’s a lot

I’m pretty tolerant of most bullshit because I understand people have shit going on in their lives that I don’t know

But godDAMN please have your payment ready before you come up to my lane, I’m usually the only mf on register and I get ugly looks for having to call for backup

I don’t have time for you to count out 300 in small bills, and I probably don’t have change in the till for it either

and don’t look at me like I’m the ass when my shitty terminal crashes for trying to scan your stuff- this thing’s running windows xp on a touchscreen with the world’s most potato-ass router giving it internet access

like bro I’m here for 8hrs standing up doing an opening shift at 9am when I closed at 9pm last night; I got NO sleep, I’m being paid minimum wage because my hours are *just* below the border of full time but the company cucks me out of it over and over

I’ve been doing this so much that my shoulders are slipping out of their sockets and my skin is tearing at the waist from my uniform’s belt. I wouldn’t be surprised if my legs had stress fractures and that’s why my phantom shifts hurt so much lately

only reasons why I’m staying: my coworkers are cool, leaving would look bad on my resume, everywhere else is the same (or worse), I get to see cool pets every day, I get to be out and masc-presenting without my manager being an ass, and I get employee discounts on stuff that gives species euphoria

For any followers of mine who are retail workers, what’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to your customers?

Personally I hate when customers are talking on the phone while I’m checking them out. To me it’s so fucking rude.

She’s so fat (/positive)

went to the gym today, hoping to get in shape so I can strengthen my shoulder (dislocated it years ago)

wanna get into paintball bc I’m missing laser tag and there’s no good arenas around for it

also bc I wanna make a decent Halloween costume and I don’t think my vessel would fit in its current state

Idk how she got up here, one moment I was eating my chicken nuggets and the next I had company who wanted them

She loves this new bed

I’m so allergic but she’s so worth it

Angel bean

I meowed back at her when she talked to me and I think I accidentally said a slur in cat bc she looked so insulted

sorry i’ve been inactive lately, moving timeline accelerated real quick

last day in the house i’ve been in for like 14yrs is today
