You legit need to talk about babysitting because that would be entertaining as hell

You were right about amazon getting Rid of pre order discount

Time stamps!: 0:0 - Welcome to tales from retail! 1:35 - Drink of the day (really refreshing!) 2:10 - Taste test 2:23 - Today's topic introduction and start Have Fun :D

forcing an hour lunch has the effect of forcing you to be at the store for longer.

Cameras are designed to find and focus on your face, putting the beer upto the camera without covering your face will result in what we just saw. Cheers

What do your friends, family and co workers think of you doing youtube? do they watch your videos?

This is something happened to me recently while on my lunch break. Our break room is directly adjacent to a custodial closet and while I was eating I hear this loud crash. Loud bangs aren't unusual, it's often any of the neighboring stores. But what it was was the eye wash station somehow fell off the wall and solution was just everywhere. Took a few dozen paper towels, mops and a wet dry vac to get it all. Not the worst thing I've ever had to clean up.

I worked at a Wendys,I know all their dark secrets

I love how you’re always drinking when you tell your stories. Like it’s super painful to relive it all. Great video.

Walmart is literally hell on earth. If you work there and enjoy it, you must also enjoy garroting your balls on a barbed fence. You are not wrong when you say it really is truly an awful place. Most of the people I worked with were great (minus the supervisors who were power hungry asshats) but the wage you are paid doesn't match the amount of work you are required to do. It's absolutely asinine what Walmart gets away with. Don't even get me started on their benefits package which basically you will never get because they will make sure that you stay part time (even if you have full time hours, which I did) so that they don't have to give benefits (probably a good topic for you to talk about). It's truly astonishing how stingy they are for how much money they make. Walmart makes a killing and yet pays the lowest, has the highest turnover, miserable overworked employees and has a horrible reputation with mostly everyone. You would think they would try to fix that but they simply could not give a shit about you. Don't work there, don't shop there, just stay the hell away. Costco is better, treat their customers great and you can go there knowing that their employees are actually valued and part of a team and are paid appropriately for that.

Babysitting would be interesting

I work retail, and the way you talk about breaks and not having a chance to breathe and get away from work is so accurate. Ironically, I am on break watching this, and I've been interrupted three times.

Your talks on retail is extremely similar to my experience working at blockbuster for five years. All these coincidences are giving me outrageous flashbacks.

Babysitting Battles sounds hilarious

I worked for a major (and busy) retail store for over six years and I think my problem was that I often missed breaks. Unless I was running a register (where the supervisor would normally tell you when to go on break), I generally worked by myself in areas that needed someone qualified to cover (food service), areas where going on break during busy periods meant having to play catch-up when I got back (shopping cart retrieval) or, where taking a break meant leaving my work center unattended (photo lab) Even though I did not always get my breaks and the hours left much to be desired, employee morale was pretty good, a lot of managers were cool, and it would definitely beat Wal-Mart.

As a person who currently works at Walmart in Lawn and Garden, I’m always automatically volunteered to do other people’s jobs. Out of curiosity, have you had any interesting stories about “covering” someone? Yes, I hate Walmart too, but my department feels detached from the main store so it doesn’t feel like I’m being looked down upon.

yeah I worked at a place like walmart for like 5 years. Completely agree with how it felt sometimes. They didnt like us talking, but I did it all the time anyways. It made the time go by so much faster plus just having someone to help you made it so much easier. Everyone should be required IMO to work in customer service for a year or two. Changes your whole perspective.

When I worked at Sears in Chandler years ago, the annoying thing about taking lunch was the interruption. I worked mattresses and draperies and it seemed like when I left, the customers came. Sometimes I ate in the mall food court to avoid the Brand Central people because they would come and get me to go help a customer. They were on commission. I was hourly. I had no motivation to go out there. I had motivation to eat and avoid a migraine. Once they gave mattresses to the vacuum people it wasn't my problem anymore. If I was assigned to be cashier in another part of the store and someone needed help in draperies, they had to find someone to take my place while I went down there, until they figured out it was just easier to keep me in home fashions where I left the cashwrap all the time.

you got an hour? lucky you . i got 30 mins in a constantly crowded mall .

What you are describing sounds exactly like my job. I work at an arcade because I wanted to be surrounded by my passion: games. Naturally, any job consisting of retail sucks ass, that was a bullet I was willing to bite. We were discouraged with few workers because it was hard to predict when it will be super packed, or painfully slow. Two workers. We would sometimes get near one hundred people crammed in our tiny arcade and would be left with only two workers. Going on break was a stressful nightmare for me. Because, much like gamestop, our little group of workers became family to me. We were close and leaving that one person behind to deal with the horrors of kids screaming, parents demanding tickets because a game won't spit them out while trying to manage the full ticket redemption is a nightmare that I don't wish on my worst enemy. NEW SUBSCRIBER BY THE WAY, I love your channel and I debated on joining the Gamestop family. So glad that I didn't, I feel like I dodged a bullet.

When I worked at Sears back in high school I was very fortunate to work with some nice folks. That made the experience a lot more memorable. However when I worked at a GAP during college I hated it the whole time I was there. They were always watching me on camera, making little suggestions every time I approached customers and was just given a snotty attitude every day. What sucked more was it was an all female gap store so they made me feel uncomfortable all the time. Place was the worst retail experience I ever had.

I worked at subway and he gave no breaks and I had to basically eat and work at same time was only 17 so violated a lot of rules I only stayed about a week so imagine washing tables and eating a sub or something

As I sit back and smoke an indica pain relieving cannabis cigarette (strain called Sensi Star) and I absolutely love this series. As I've said; it's absolute GOLD! As always, this has made my day a Fanta-Tastic one! Hope you all have one too! -Baby Sitter horror stories might be hilariously entertaining. Take a chance, Fanta! Columbus did! Livin' Like A Docta! ~PostScript; I always make it to the end of the video. Although I've got 10yrs of sobriety from alcohol doesn't mean I don't enjoy hearing others talk about it. I honestly love the dynamic you have with Eric and if you introduced another friend that could be cool. Maybe a future spot for him when we go Back to the Futon too?

I don’t give a shit what you talk about man just say words it’s soothing and makes my stress go away

Made it past the fade out - What KZfaq videos did/do you watch? Favorite creators? 2nd Favorite Channel (after Eric"s)? Have you guys thought about doing an episode comparing the show Super Store to your Walmart experiences? Did/do you guys know anyone who works at Sam's Club or Costco you can do an episode with? Looking forward to the video with Adam. Thanks for the great show!

“The hours are so stingy, it’s like a currency there” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I want a shirt with a comic of an employee summoning the antichrist and their manager freaking out and asking why they are 1 minute over their maximum. I'd wear it under my work shirt everyday and take my work shirt off after every shift and strut out of the store wearing it.

At CVS we would get 30-45 minutes of lunch break depending on how long our shift was, and we never had enough coverage so the person at the register would have to call the other person who is on lunch to help take care of a long line of customers constantly.

You should do subscriber stories. I have a lot from working at Wal-Mart for six and a half years.

Talk about Babysitting!

For baby sitting why not Pre School Parables?

Fanta you should call it Adventures in Babysitting

I work at Walmart and iv never went to the break room for my hour lunch I go to my apartment or just go to my car I try to get away from that place for the hour I have

I would've said "I'm drinking, sorry."

I've never had an hour for lunch in my life, sounds really nice

I’m SCREAMING, i ate a $1 Michelina noodle meal for lunch TODAY!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I used to work for a grocery store local to the south east, and we would be scheduled for an hour lunch, but sometimes my managers would ask us to take a 30. Sometimes depending on how busy we got, and if our managers weren’t on shift, we would skip lunch all together for the simple fact that we couldn’t afford to take it. I now work at Home Depot and always have an hour lunch unless I am working overtime on a 4 hour shift. Then my supervisor allows me to take a 30 minute once I pass 6 hours.

GameStopoVision sounds yum. Eric should be named that.

" you have to see the sad little fuck in the monitor " damn that does sound depressing lmao

“So you see the sad little fuck” 😂 17:10

Whats weird is that my GameStop doesn't seem scam ish or over pricey. They under price stuff. They were selling Evolve for the Xbox one for 6 dollars complete (no fake case or cover\sleeve) and a copy of watch dogs for 10 bucks. I generally find satisfaction there every time I go. The employees are nice and arent pushy and the manager isn't rude to customers and employees. It is a nice place and doesn't feel like a bad scamming GameStop

Yes babysitting

Anyone else here is watching the video during their lunch break?

Walks into a gamestop picks up a rack full of iPods looks at the employees says have a nice day then just walks out what a fucking legend the balls on that guy

Bro let me tell you. I worked at a place too, and it was one of those "don't take a lunch but you have too" kind of places. They were very unorganized and made me work before orientation because they had nobody else. I quit, they still haven't paid me for working hours before my orientation. It took them kind of long to get me my shoes, clothes, shirts, and everything. I felt left behind. Yes, it was McDonald's..hahaha but you get what you get haha

I used to eat my lunch in my car, and whenever I wasn’t on my break I would do my job but sometimes I would hangout in the break room a lot

Baby sitting would be funny. Like what kids acted up or what not

Doing a video on Eric's process of searching for his new gig would be cool. Where will he go? What will he be doing? Think that's got to be at least 15 minutes of content. Thanks for the videos Fanta - love your content!

I was touched by that “no time to have lunch” part.

YES PLEASE do stories on your babysitting days! You could call it like you said "Battle of the babysitter" or "Babysitter Blues." A suggestion for your dorm room stories could be "Dastardly Dorm living" :P

I can feel your pain. When I was with Radio Shack I had the same problem. The only thing that worked for me was leaving the store for lunch, if at all possible.

The GameStop I worked at which was bigger not that busy but still made a lot of money due to high pre order traffic especially with collectors editions. It was nice because it had a bathroom and a 8 hour day worked out better with one. But sometimes I would cover at the ghetto stores which where insanely busy and messy. And bad news there. No bathroom. So leaving the store to go to the restroom was a fucking fantasy

Yeah I've heard about the bs "keyholder" position. Responsibilities of a manger but pay of a regular associate.

Do babysitting

Making someone clock out to go do a business related task, like going to the bank, is highly illegal.

Great job as always. A babysitting episode would be fun to hear

You're off the clock doing bank deliveries? wuhwuhwhat?!?

Don't worry Petsmart only schedules 2 employees on weekdays and 3 on weekends. Sucks when it gets busy on a weekday and the person on the floor has to help tons of people and answer the phone alone. While the cashier is trying to call for backup from the pet care person because the line is insane.

You should talk about life in the dorms! I remember when gas prices were like $4.80/gallon in 2008-2009, it was ridiculous! Also I'm pretty sure that's illegal for them to make you clock out when you go to the bank. I'm on the clock when I go to the bank at my current job!

We need babysitting blues

Did u ever work the different shifts at Walmart? The asshole managers made me work overnight after about 6 months. I absolutely hated it. I had to do it for Xmas to help stock. It was a thousand times more boring than working days. Only benefit was you got paid a dollar more (I didn’t really consider it a benefit). Then the assholes laid me off after Xmas - miserable time. All my friends worked during the day and it was so fun when I worked the same shift. Working overnight everyone was miserable - ugh, such a god damn nightmare

I work at a metro pcs. We are supposed to have two ppl in the store at once but we only have one. I have to eat lunch with the store open and take customers at the same time.

Topic starts at 2:20

I enjoyed last video about your thoughts on "video game news and happenings" could definitely watch a few more of those! Babysitting first though, please, Lol keep up the good work!

video starts at 2:20

Do more episodes from the chinese restaurant.

Customers were the worst when I got a lunch break, not all of them some of them were cool but we had a few. I would go on break on a Saturday when we were busy, and a customer would ask if I could help them and I would say no i'm sorry, i'm on a lunch break and most customers would say oh ok no problem. BUT I had one customer that when I said that to them would say to me, "i don't care, you don't deserve a lunch, you only make minimum wage, now do your job and help me find this movie I am looking for." Thanks humanity!!

Yeah he’s intoxicated

Those $1 Michelina pasta dishes... I know them well. Also, it's funny, because if you are on the clock 6 hours and 1 minute and haven't had a break and started your lunch by then, they already broke the law.

Okay, so here's a different question... I know I've mentioned in these comments before that I work for one of those companies that goes around doing everyone's inventory, but I only know how it goes from the perspective of being on the team that comes into the different stores. If you have any experience with us coming through (be it my employer, RGIS, or one of our competitors, like WIS), it would be pretty interesting to find out what the story is from the store staff's perspective, basically having a team of strangers come through and count all your product... P.S. - I do not envy your lunch experiences. Mine's basically walking out to my truck and eating in my driver seat

Actually lunch at Wal-Mart was the only good part of working there. I would get in my car and run to a drive-thru get my lunch and just eat in my car. I had my phone, the radio and no disruptions.

I actually just had that same beer (the lemon one, not the orange one) an hour ago with dinner. You got me into summer shandy's.

Watching this on my lunchbreak

I would make a beer company just to sponsor u

I used to hate the weekend rushes especially if there is a chic sale on the weekend. I had a manager get pissy with me when I got back from hour lunch and no one covered my spot and the cases were not perfect because the customers make a mess

Yesss to the babysitting!

14:20 Fanta having somewhat fond memories of Gamestop?! XD

i dont know why, but i always find myself staring at that hot sauce bottle

I bought that beer. It is really good!

Over here I am complaining that need about thirty dollars to fill up my tank :/

the guy snoring up a storm during break at the marshalls break room

Have you made a video about zoning at Walmart?

At my new job they are now having scheduled breaks and lunches. So the ENTIRE warehouse goes to take a break or lunch so the place is crowded. Its Made the job so much worst

I don't know what it is, but when I watch one of your videos, I have to crack open a drink!

Be lucky you get a Lumch Break. I work in a Warehouse, we don’t get Breaks. We do work 4 hours a Day... but the Amount of Work and the Physical Requirements of the Job make those 8 Hours into 8+

babysitting sounds cool

6:40 Little bit of Al Roker

In Greece gas is much more expensive like almost double that amount. 1,50 euros per liter , a gallon is almost 4 liters. and mind you that the Euro is slightly more expensive than the dollar.

You get a lunch?! Lucky you!

I've had my fair share of just surviving at jobs, my old job I got less then 15 hours a week for the last month I was there, there excuse was slow sales and cutting hours across the board. Having less then 600 a month already by that time motivated me to end that bs and I got a full time job that pays way better.

I remember when I worked at walmart, I went 10 minutes over one week because the HR manager stopped me before I could clock out in time. Next day I was called in to the office and told I need to clock out in time, and if it happens again I would be put on probation.

I would love for you to talk about babysitting.

My first job at WAWA had ONE 20 min lunch break. And it was paid, so if they were busy you just don't eat

FANTA!! seriously, the same thing happened to me at FYE!! The idiot they would schedule who always would called off and then they would call me at random times. Like, 6pm on a Tuesday night, we close at 9pm, its Tuesday and its dead why do you need me to come in, even though you had someone scheduled. Then they would give you the person who called off excuse of why they didn't come in. The one time they said the person called off because their tire fell off their car. WHAT!? no it didn't. They needed a new excuse, because the last 3 weeks they called off they used the "im sick" excuse. Like you said you feel bad for saying no cause you know that the rule is 2 people have to close ( at our store you had too). They knew I was a good hard worker that was reliable, so they knew I wouldn't say no. If you say no, they know you know that you don't have to come in, they get passive aggressive and start guilt tripping. The manager would say what am I suppose to do now, I would reply, I don't know maybe give me the hours instead of them. then I would get replies like, "well I guess I will have to take the bank bag to bank by myself and get fired, or worse robbed." These are people I kind of considered friends so then you feel bad when you don't come in, so yea you feel forced. My pay was said too, a long with hours, when I left i was getting 3hrs a week. I think they did it to me on purpose, the manager would give me low hours knowing that if he called me in that I would because I would need the hours. It was chaos in that store. Anyways, enjoying the videos and the podcast with you and Eric, keep up the good work guys!! :-)

“Babysitter Debauchery”

Please do the dorm video

Thoughts on things....is fricken hilarious🤣🤣🤣

Great video man, the baby sitting tales would be interesting :)

I worked as a house keeper, and if you even got close to 30 hours, they told you to fuck off. They didn't want anyone to get full time.

I would love the babysitting thing. I think you should also do a yoshi reveal at 30k
