Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In the US you help people load stuff? I don't think I have ever seen employees help someone load stuff here in Germany, apart from when someone bought a whole garden house or other stuff that isn't on the shelves in the first place, but in the warehouse in the back, so they had to bring it out anyway.

I think some employees probably help if they feel like it, but only when you are nice. If you asked them to load a bag of mulch they would probably just say "good luck with loading it yourselves" 😂

I work in the outdoor lawn and garden department. As you can imagine, this is our busy time. As in, we make 75% of our yearly money in these 3 months.

Yeah, we got dudes whose sole purpose on some days is standing around loading mulch, dirt and rocks. "Loader" is actually on their schedule. People pay up front and drive around the side to pick up. LOL, not having that sort of thing in Germany, you might be appalled at how entitled some people are. I'm middle-aged, so I'm friendly and helpful, but I ain't getting treated like a slave.

Have to admit, I've been a low-key ass to some who annoy me. "Man! How are you going to get this unloaded?!" Subtext being: "You're too much of a pussy to pick it up. How are you going to actually use it?"
