Our company just announced that hybrid workers must return to the office, and people are seriously upset. There’s been a lot of talk and frustration around it. For now, we’re still remote, but it makes me wonder what led to this decision. If the work can be done from home, is forcing everyone back really beneficial for the company? It feels like a step backward or may be not and has definitely created tension among employees who had adjusted well to remote work.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.
