Does anyone here help with checkout? I'm in charge of manning the self-checkout area, and it's crazy how much petty theft happens. I usually let it go because I couldn't be bothered to get into an argument with these people. The only thing is I feel guilty, and like I'm cheating my store by doing that. How do you deal with this stuff?

I have to help out from time to time. Theft isn't a big problem here from what I've seen. If I noticed it, I'd probably just alert my manager or security and leave it at that. Unless you're part of the security team, your company probably forbids you from engaging with these people for liability reasons.

It's our policy that we have to let security know. Even if it's just a little thing, if we see it, we have to report it. I never really know what happens once security gets involved but it's also above my pay grade.

I’ve never worked in a self checkout. If I did, I wouldn’t intervene when there’s theft. I would alert loss prevention and let them handle it

That’s a tough spot to be in. Your safety comes first, and most stores don’t expect front-line staff to confront theft—there are usually clear policies for a reason. Following procedure, reporting what you can, and letting management handle it isn’t cheating the store; it’s doing your job responsibly.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

I’m helping my friend put together a brand book for his startup. I’ve seen this go so many diff ways, but besides the design-related stuff, what exactly is important to include? Do I include a brand mission statement? Brand manifesto? Brand positioning? Brand tagline? Would love your thoughts.

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?
