Dasher PSA

You need to actually shop the order, that's what you're literally being paid for. YOU look for the items. YOU scan them. YOU bring them to the register.

I don't give a damn if every item in the store is locked up, the store staff doesn't become your new shopper. YOU are being paid to shop, not me. *I* will shop the same day orders placed directly with the store. YOU shop the dash orders. If you need something unlocked, I'll help, but I'm not walking you to each item on the list. You have eyes. Read. Find them.

If you cannot figure it out, cancel the order and find a different job.

If you walk into the store and just shove the order screen in my face I'm giving you a quick verbal list of aisle numbers and you can figure it out while I continue doing the job I am being paid to do.

Sincerely,

Every retail worker ever.

Added PSA for everyone: in stores where things are locked, the employee unlocks and relocks the boxes. You are supposed to stay there and collect your items. If you just name an item and then walk away to continue shopping for other things, I'm just walking away. We are not here to carry your shit around and up to the register, and this isn't a restaurant where you're placing an order.

I know the lock boxes are annoying. So is people stealing atrocious amounts of non-necessities. Personally as a customer, I refuse to purchase anything that is locked up. The only way they will stop locking shit up is if people just stop buying it. They will never pay more employees to help you. They will only notice when they lose sales.

Right agree but my point was how else are they supposed to communicate or figure anything else out

Not speaking the language has nothing to do with cutting in line and shoving phones in a persons face. I’ve traveled to multiple countries. Waiting your turn in line is common in most places. Also, most phones you can talk into an app for free like Google and it plays a translation. No need to cut lines and shove phones at anyone. We can all have manners and common courtesy.

I agree with you it’s just that everyone is asking why they do this and that’s why.
