If you work at department store is it rude to shop at a different location that is not your store? I like to go to a different location on my day off to do my shopping because I don’t want to deal with my coworkers on my day off and I just feel awkward shopping on my day off. I never thought it was a big deal shopping at a different location, but then the other day a manager made a big deal about how my store was doing really good and how we should be shopping at our store during extra associate discount days and now I’m starting to feel guilty for not always shopping at my store.
Maybe I should just shop when I clock out for the day?

Well I believe in supporting the home team so to speak BUT it is your money and you have every right to spend that money where you want. Even I don't always shop at the place I work for.
It's not rude to shop where you like or spend your money how you see fit. I think it's rude that they would pressure you to shop where you work. There are times I just don't have the energy to shop at the main store I work for. Too many people stop me and want to know how I'm doing, how're things at the gas station etc... When I just want to run in real quick and I'm feeling really down I don't want to play 20 questions. And I'm sure you have your reasons for not shopping where you work.

I agree, you have the right to do what you want to do with your own money... I don't think it's rude at all.

No way. Shop where you're most comfortable. I would do the same to avoid coworkers. It's your money to use however you want to. You're already working for them so don't let them guilt you into spending your money or spending more time in your workplace than is necessary. That's not your obligation.

I think it's normal and understandable to steer clear of one's own workplace when off the clock. It's nice that they offer extra discount days, at the same time, it's your workplace :\
Are there other ways to get the discount if wanted? Other locations? Employee holds while there so that you could grab and go on the way out the door or on break? Online? Otherwise, it makes sense why you shop elsewhere. Reminds me of something said when I was covering internal deliveries and transporting fresh baked goodies. Didn't the smell make me crave these goodies? Nope...the exact opposite! |
