TheRenaissanceman65 See, you would think that would help, but last time I checked, the problem (in America) is most crimes with guns were gained illegally. It would just cause guns to be a more desired item for certain criminals, which then cause certain people to freak out more because now they have nothing to protect themselves with. To put it short, it would probably be the 20’s bootleg era but... worse. Also, who’s gonna take away the guns? Like, both legally owned and illegally owned. Do you know just how many people would refuse or find ways to get away with it? People in America already don’t trust the government, them knocking on doors and forcefully banning guns *will* go poorly. Especially as it stands. Courts have ruled that police aren’t legally required to help people. If you call 911 and they say “You’re on your own,” you’re on your own and there is no legal repercussion. And Imma be honest, as someone who has had a gun pointed at them twice, once by a SWAT member and once by a friend’s cousin who thought I was a burglar, I’d rather have a gun pointed at me by the friend’s cousin. I’m not really afraid of people owning guns. I’m more afraid of people misusing their training, criminals, or mentally ill people who slipped through the system due to aforementioned people owning guns. Also hunting is it’s whole own argument. (Proper) Hunting is the most sustainable form of getting meat, if not sometimes completely necessary. And if someone on that fringe goes on to kill someone else... Well, it’s impossible to get rid of gun violence 100% already. You have to pick your battles and decide if people staying safe from wild animals is better than outlier killers.

Condemnedxbox Ironically what you said seems to lead more to the idea that the gun problem is more of a problem of the system rather than the guns themselves. I agree that the police system is a total mess and they often overuse guns. I think that’s quite obvious. I also wouldn’t be surprised if criminals using guns is at least in part a reaction to cops. But I don’t think fixing the criminal system will fully fix the criminal gun problem. They will definitely hold to their guns for the same power trip reasons some cops hold guns. Them feeling “safe” from cops won’t do anything. On the topic of “legalizing guns to begin with,” that’s.... Okay, for starters, the infamous “Right to Bear Arms” has existed from the VERY beginning, and back then made a whole hell of a lot of sense. One was the idea that if the new government messed up and became corrupted, they would be able to fight back. Which, back then, was totally viable to them since they /literally/ did that. The second thing (and the oldest reason that still holds up to today) Is that they lived in a vast fairly empty space with wild animals that would not hesitate to kill or maim them. (Of corse in cities and highly populated states this doesn’t really apply, but in many states, this is honestly very important. Not to touch or even mention what I said earlier about ethically sourced meat.) I also can’t really say anything about “shoot first, ask questions later” because I live in a state where getting a gun is harder, so the people I know who own guns amounts to about one hand. And none of them would be so lenient as to shoot random people who they don’t know just because they showed up. But again, that’s just where I’m from. Speaking of that, in my state having a gun pointed at you is not considered in any shape or form normal. (Unless you’ve been involved with heavy criminal activity I guess) The only reason it happened to me was because there was a fake bomb threat to my school (which is definitely not normal for most schools, but the students who went to mine were a little screwy. Hey, at least it wasn’t a gun threat, right? [actually thinking about it, it might have been a gun threat? Or a mistaken shooting report? My school was really screwy and people sending in fake threats/claims that they knew someone was planning on doing something happened like three times; all so the students could get out of school. Take that as you will I guess.]) You could argue if it was wrong or right to send in a SWAT team, but I’d still at argue it’s less “they have guns, oh no!” And more “they have guns and while they are trained to know how to use them, they haven’t been trained how to not use them as well, oh --.” Also, if a bomb threat at a school is happening, what are you gonna plan to come in with? Throwing knives? My point is, while unfortunate, in that particular situation, it made sense and definitely isn’t normal. I’ve said a lot about this so I won’t blab on about the second time. Moral of the story is America was and still is a storm of situations and happenstance. You don’t know what solution that seems logical now will have major illogical and unintended consequences. And really, that goes for *ALL* countries too. The best anyone can do is play damage control, and trying to get guns off the streets and push the prison system to be one more aimed for rehabilitation than putting all the poor drug addicts trapped in a cage would do more to help than just flat out banning guns would ever do. Because in the end, it’s not the guns that are the problem, it’s the people behind them. (I haven’t slept so I hope this all makes sense and I didn’t repeat anything too much)

They could still sell the cut boxes of Rice Krispies at a reduced price as long as the internal packet was still sealed.

Also hilarious to me how they tell employees to return perishible stuff as soon as possible to the cooler. Today, any meat or frozen vegetable found outside their area gets scanned out. Not worth risking a food poisoning lawsuit to save 10$ on a pack of chicken thighs

We had to figure the taxes for some items. By the way the produce manager and meat manager were very protective that we hit the right keys for their products since they had to show a profit for their departments.The meat manager would often come up to the register when a large meat order was being purchased.People would actually come in the morning and squeeze the he'll out of the fruit and tomatoes and come back before closing to get a mark down on produce.These people were not poor by any means,just people that gamed the system.Oh by the way cigarettes that was shelved on top of register were 22 cents

"Meat Manager" - there's something to put on a resume

For the teens and young adults looking for their first job, NEVER consider working a grocery store on intent to making it a career. It's an ok job to your foot in the door just for work experience, but only use it as a temporary income source while you pursue an actual career via college, trading school, etc. I've worked for Jewel Osco for 4 1/2 years as a grocery clerk and it was the biggest waste of 4 years I've ever spent. They barely give you raises no matter how hard you work, you start at minimum or in a lot of cases below minimum wage, you get treated like a child, and you don't move up in the ladder because they want to keep you in that position for as long as possible. I wasted 3 of my 4 years working for Jewel Osco trying to get promoted to dairy manager only to get passed up by someone who's never worked in the store before. Even when the old dairy manager recommended me to take his place as he was retiring, I was passed up by one of the store manager's corporate buddies. Grocery retail is a stepping stone, nothing more.

"Let's talk about SHRINKAGE..." 😂

When I worked at a supermarket in the 90s we were so strict about shop lifting. We would check customers bags at the checkout and all staff had their bags checked when leaving. Now nobody really checks and when they do I feel offended.

That's because they're watching you like a hawk from cameras placed every three feet throughout the store. We used to steal all the time and managers knew it but couldn't prove it.

I'm supposed to be sleeping because I have to wake up early to catch a flight..........BUT I am too busy watching old training vids from decades gone by, oops! It looked like the 80s to me, so I was surprised to see it's from 1992, I was already born haha! Before this one, I watched a training vid from the 60s. Their cash registers were like, completely manual...no auto scanner, you had to ring the amount and product category yourself, and you made change using nothing but your head -- I think the till did give you the total, though ;) People could cash cheques with the cashier to pay apparently (this vid they could too)? Apart from the cheques everything seemed to be in cash too, no cards. Fascinating, how something so mundane as grocery store checkouts has changed so much, even between 1992 and now!

That is a good point-you can see in the part where they show the checkout lanes that there are no credit/debit kiosks for people to pay using credit or debit. It was either cash or check in 92. The credit/debit cards came like 2-3 years later.

Shoplifting ideas from back in the day...

Profit is less than a penny on the dollar? I call bullshit. If that's true, it sounds like A&P needs a better distributor or else they'll go bankr... oh wait.

92 was an era of A&P bottom fishing. Throwing store programs out and then abandon. Sad days for A&P.

I used to steal cigarettes from Big Star grocery store when i was younger. The cigarette shelf was up front and I would walk by, grab two packs, walk through the store and pocket one pack. Then, I would bring the other pack back to the shelf so they would see me putting them back, only thinking I got one pack. This actually worked for quite some time until a new manager started. This bastard caught me the first time i stole with him there. I did it all the same. I took two packs, walked through the store, but on this day I got spooked. That new manager was just watching me too close. So, I put both packs down on an isle and started to leave. He came charging up with both packs i had put on a shelf. He said, you come in here to steal again you're going to jail.

I worked at Walmart in the 90s. Our store manager would take expired soda and try to sell it to the employees in the break room, not telling anyone they were expired. 😒

Waldbaum's man I haven't heard that name in a long time, used to have one in the town next to me.

What s throwback, I rember this store as a child. Also it was just simpler times then.

These training videos would even be good in today's world. In many stores I walk in now, they look like their back storage rooms, no space to walk or anything. It's absolutely shameful! Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.

The music, the transitions, the people really did scream the 1990s Just like how i remember it.

While all of this is pretty funny, there is a certain bit of it that gives me anxiety. It reminds me of starting to work at a job that I knew was dead-end. I remember watching the films in orientation and thinking, even then, that they were cheesy. Everyone in the room did.

I enjoyed this video.

This is pretty interesting to be honest. On an normal 8 hour shift in my store; i always see atleast A broken case of Soda from delivery A damage box of cereal from mishandling A broken bottle of alcohol from accidents A price reduction due to an outdated price tag Overstocking shelf space reducing the amount of a potential more popular item Poor rotation creating more product disposal Theft on the hourly. And yet, really... My company doesn't really care because these things are inevitable on a very busy schedule. Just a way the system works... Only thing we're hugely discouraged on doing is stealing internally.

And here we are in 2020 where it costs $2.45 for a bottle of coke.

a shop here used to tape up boxes they'd cut, nothing like cracking open a muesli bar where the wrapper has been taped together

Most stores have a 5,000% MPG the CEO gets big bonuses and kick backs and trip and the don't want the little person to take a freebie from the vender thank God I never work for this greedy food chain
