Dang, I’ve seen way cleaner and better organized homeless camps and shantytowns than some of the featured dollar stores and warehouses.
If freight is seriously being dumped on the employees (or singular EMPLOYEE) before they can stock the previous shipments, or left to such neglect that birds shit on the goods, then at that point as an employee you’d be better off allowing customers to take the boxes with them to clear up inventory.
Should be a sign saying, “thieves welcome, just don’t pull a gun on me.”
I remember this cashier confronted a thief and was ready to fist fight him. The thief had a knife. Another vagabond went up to the thief and spoke to him and escorted him out.
Cashier was THE ONLY PERSON WORKING. And he was going to get stabbed for $9/hr.
Dollar stores are a shit show.
Seriously, if someone is supposed to be a cashier, stock clerk, security guard/watchman, delivery handler all at once, paying them anything less than $25/hr is a freaking disgrace.
Vagabond makes it sound very romantic.
