A post by Dr. Amy Psy.D. @[email protected] saying: So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didn’t want it and he was like “does YOUR card get you 15% off I don’t think so” and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they don’t, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldn’t tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone. Anyway this is why I shop online.

I used to work at best buy. They make you push the credit card. Like, get enough people signing up or youre fired push.
Like, get enough people signing up or youre fired push.
I used to work at a place that was like this with their loyalty card subscription. The worst part was that only US residents were eligible for it but the last location I worked at was right next to the Canadian border so we got a ton of Canadian customers. Management however would still count all of those as missed sales even though we literally couldn’t sign them up for it. Too high a ratio of missed sales and you started losing hours up to them letting you go.
Not only that but if you started recognizing Canadian bank cards and didn’t still try to sell them on the membership that they couldn’t sign up for you’d get in trouble for that too. So we were forced to be super aggressive with it on those we could sell to if we didn’t want to get in trouble for poor performance. Was totally not worth minimum wage with no commission. I was so glad to finally quit that job.
Can’t say I expected that

The first part was super believable but then the obviously fake testosterone thing just makes you question the whole anecdote
yeah, no, uh, i regret to inform ya’ll that toxic bpa receipt paper potentially causing hormone problems thru skin absorbtion is an actual thing and not some weird bs conspiracy theory thing: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bpa-receipts-major-store-chains-study/
it’s unsure how much of an effect it has on humans so far but it does affect lab animals.
Huh TIL… That’s actually kinda funny to me since the tail end of my time working retail happens to be when I first started developing gynecomastia. I’m nonbinary so it never bothered me but I found out shortly after when my doctor was trying to figure out another issue that I’ve got really low T levels so it’s funny to me that there’s technically a remote possibility that working retail caused that whole thing.
