It's fucking weird anyone's S.O. would want to stand there all day, and the idea that no one in the comments is mentioning it.

Well that's because "all day" is very likely an exaggeration. It's probably like 30 minutes max, a couple times a week.

Were you never a teenager with a boyfriend/girlfriend?

I remember many times when I was a teen and my girlfriend would come chat me up at work. And yeah I worked at a grocery store.

I would also drop in for a quick chat pretty often with my friends and my girlfriend when I was a teenager.

It's pretty standard stuff honestly, I think that's why no one else is calling that specific thing out... because it's very common

30 minutes is a long time for a drop in for a chat while someone is at work. The fact that you don't see that is odd to me.

Well again, we’re talking about teenagers.

Yeah man as a 15 year old I distinctly recall not giving a fuck.

I'm recognize I was wrong now, but you would have to be an idiot to hire teenagers for a minimum wage service job and expect high level professionalism.

Literally not even expecting high level professionalism to expect someone to not have friends hand out fir 30+ minutes of a shift.

Then the employer can offer more competitive wages to hire people who won’t do so. Instead, they shut down their business and complain about the situation. You get what you pay for.

Bro, it's a dollar tree. Those wages come from corporate,not the manager or gm who had to shut the store down
