I work at a grocery store and can confirm that customers think “the back” looks like the final scene from Indianna Jones (first movie). In all actuality, it’s a hallway and a loading dock. We store 95% of the merchandise ON THE SHELVES SO YOU CAN BUY IT!
I don't work on grocery stores, but when there's a delivery and I coincidentally walking at the drop off, I try to take a look and to my surprise... It's all just empty boxes
Just sucks cuz shit is never updated online. I went to 3 different Targets over an hour away tryna get a mixer for my mom and each store said they had some available but I roll up and there's nothing. I learned that day to just never trust store availability and just order online.
@@mateobarrett6829 another option is call the store and ask if what you’re looking for is available and if it is ask if they can set it aside for you. That way you know before you leave your house.
@John Mcolt Where I come from, you get written up and potentially fired if you work longer than 8 hrs. Even a minute. If my 9th hour starts at 1, I stop helping people at 12:55. I’ll get someone else to help if I can, but if I can’t then that’s a shame. One guest being slightly inconvenienced for a few minutes is better than losing your job over a few minutes.
He was offered to come to the back. He should've known this was a trap. No mere mortal sees what happens in the labyrinth of horrors and can come back unscathed
0:43 "This is the back...look around, you see anything you like?" And it was at that moment that dude realized it would be the last time he would send someone to check in the back. Ever.
As someone that used to work in retail, I can assure you that... your product probably is in the back but by the time I have found the location, checked my phone and stared at the clock, it will be time to clock out :)
I go into the back on occasion, sometimes bathrooms are located there. Other times I do freelance work for retail companies (interpreter) and I can confirm. The back is where hopes and dreams go to die. Someone can work the front shift and end up like Squidward. But I have never seen anyone work an entire shift in the back that didn't look like they would off themselves if their weed/liquor ran out. It reminded me of your grandad who has been hoarding shit in his garage/shed for over 30 years but somehow decided not to organize it with any rhyme or reason. That is what you are asking them to search through. And that's why I buy online, so I don't have to interact with those haunting faces 😎
Can confirm. Worked at Target for over 3 years unloading trucks. Whenever I got a chance, I would try to reorganize, condense, and rotate in the back. But A) 90% of people don't care to pay it forward and will immediately ruin whatever you fix B) People will inevitably hide broken and/or heavy shit in the worst places C) There isn't enough staff to cover everything period D) Managers always prioritize saving a second now, to saving multiple hours later. E) Corporate will over-order seasonal shit months early every time that you can literally do nothing with. All that together, and most warehousing jobs are just fighting long drawn out losing battles. Eventually the people trying to maintain some order leave, and everything descends into complete chaos. Don't even get me started on how they cut their slotted payroll hours by 20% based off of last year's projections on the top, just so they can split a corporate bonus every quarter. And honestly that's just the iceberg of hell. I've seen far worse in my time. I'm talking entire warehouses double-stacked with only a small path to drive through. Digging out what you need, then digging a way out. People messing that up make you flash red, especially since it's not going out on their shift. After all the most important item is still being made behind schedule, and you get to keep the driver waiting 6 hours past when he came back the second time, and all the big bosses already went home. So good luck.
@@MynicknameisViolet Pretty much. I got fired from target because I couldn't meet my quotas on getting people to sign up for their damn credit cards. Of course just like three months later their servers were hacked and a bunch of personal information from the credit cards got leaked out. Really there should be two big red flags for any retail jobs. One is quotas for their rewards programs, the other is employee orientation including a video about how unionizing is bad. Cause then you know things are gonna suck and HR is just there to cover up the workplace problems.
Trust me as someone who used to work for JCPenneys we dont wanna ask anybody for them, but theyre watching us like hawks ESPECIALLY at register. When I was on the floor I never bothered customers for stuff like that because god knows nobody needs another damn credit card. But I've legit seen co-workers get severely chewed out to the point of crying or outright fired bc they either forgot to ask, or didn't meet a quota. It's pretty fucked up.
If I want to buy something and I cannot afford it at the time I will hide it behind something on the same shelf. It is amazing how long something can stay hidden! I can go back a week later sometimes even two weeks and it is still there!!! Disclaimer the last time I did this was over five years ago at a discount store.
Same exact scenario minus the kidnapping happened to me, drove 30 minutes for a spare tire from northern tool rental… 3 in stock online… nothing in back lol
When I worked retail, I actually loved when people asked if we had something in the "back" (it was a department store, I was on the women's clothing floor and our stockroom was on the mens floor down in the basement where barely anyone went because apparently men don't like clothes shopping) We had a computer in the back office that you could check how many of the item was still in stock, I was grateful for the opportunity to check because it meant I finally got a chance to sit down after standing for hours😅😅
I've worked retail and grocery before, and worked in the back in both. Sometimes it is in the back, and just hasn't been shelved. Also, OFFER to check in the back. Gives you a break, 2 mins of checking, and an excuse to move to another area.
I'm not sure if I'm articulate enough describe this but how the hell can he so straightforward but then simultaneously being perfectly subversive at the same time?
I would have loved to do this to some customers when I worked at Walmart. Especially the ones that asked me to look for something in the back, then ended up dipping after like 2 minutes of waiting before I got back 😡.
I did it once by telling a customer to come to the back since he didn’t believe me. Long story short the item wasnt back there. I swear customers be thinking the back is a magical wonderland of goods
I will say I don't really ask to look in the back, and just accept defeat and come another day or week. But in the past, I did ask a lady if there's anymore of this lipstick I wanted in stock and she said she'll check the back, and turns out, there was a few left! so whilst "the back" might not always have stock you're looking for, very occasionally, it probably does! it's an 80/20 chance.
today I woke up, opened the window to see the sunrise, and as I took a breath of fresh air I thought "there will be a new skit today" Today is a good day
At Walmart the back is very complicated and it can take 20 minutes just to find the right shelf for the product, and that's if there isn't any pallets in between the opened aisles (at my Walmart we have special shelf's that are literally right beside each other and you have to press these buttons to move them to create a temporary aisle). (I know I explained it terribly.) Point is don't expect us to actually go back there because if the thing is even there, AND if we can even find it, you'll still probably end up waiting for half an hour at least (less if you're really lucky).

Lmao that was a good line 🤣 and that’s how retail work is unfortunately
That line 1000% accurate. Everytime I'm walking to clock out
