Help me train the new guy!

Hey guys, we have a new staff member starting and he's going to be helping me out here in the forums. So as you guys are the experts in all things RO forums, I really want to know from you - what are the top 3 things he needs to know about this place and also what you think the first thing he should do is. His name is Ben and he'll be starting tomorrow....

 

So, tell me:

- The top 3 things Ben needs to know; and

- The first thing Ben should do in the forums. 

 

Go!

@j95 it pisses me off to no end! I still find myself using them though haha

Mine is 24 hours too, but other than during Christmas periods I don't know why anyone would go there at 2am 😛

Because you were making toast and all of a sudden the toaster stopped working? Or you've had a leak and need more towels? You're a shift worker? You suddenly remembered it is ______ birthday and you've got nadda? Seriously, the possibilities are endless.

or you could be like me and decide that a middle of the night trip will be fun

My point exactly! Sometimes they are even planned. 😛 Seriously, you practically get the whole store to yourself, what more could you want?

1. You don't love k-mart? It is okay, you will LEARN to love k-mart!
2. We are very supportive and welcoming to the point that we comment on threads that probably no longer need commenting on. Yes, I am late to the party, so what?

3. We think we are funny and love a good pun, so share with us no matter how good, bad or corney your jokes are. We are such a laugh!

 

You seriously need to tell us your strengths! It is a wonder that @Sophie-RO hasn't made you do it yet!

 

But the thread I think you need to visit is the 5 Random Things About You.

Welcome @Ben-RO

 

 

On the topic of Kmart (from which I sourced all my stuff when I moved out), the best thing about my local Kmart is the self-serve checkouts 😉

@Bay52VU

The best thing about my local Kmart is that it is 24hr!

@stonepixie totally jealous about the 24hr kmart! Mine closes at 9pm.

 

@j95 all good!

Ah yep I meant @Bay52VU not @tsnyder and I agree with the 24 hour thing! Nothing better than midnight trips.

@tsnyder I like the self serve checkouts - nobody is judging on on how much you are spending or if you are buying weird purchases it's ok.

Thanks @N1ghtW1ng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Today was my first full day at work and the first thing i saw was your post, felt great :). And i totally agree, you guys do run the place, you all own this community, we're just here to help it grow and keep it running smoothly. 

 

@redhead I helped with the counting 🙂 and i was totally winning the last post thread for about 10 minutes. You are all very awesome and while I've been here not even 2 full days i am already having so much fun and learning lots. 

@j95: I share your love of Dogs, but Kmart? Clearly I have much to learn! Thank you for the link to the "I'm proud of who i am forum" I'll write something on there sooooooon.

My "somebody is talking about how awesome Kmart is" senses were tingling 😛 I'm pretty sure that when I move into my own place and give people a tour it's just gonna be like "Ooo, where did you get this?" "Kmart... and that's from Kmart too, and that, and that, and that and that" haha.

 

@j95 I wish I had 3 lamps 😞 I have 0 lamps 😞 I think I need to go to Kmart to buy some now 😞

@j95 A while ago I had to go to K-mart to buy some stuff for our office at work.

 

I had about 3 things on my list and walked out with like 10. A sandwich toaster was not on the original list.

 

It's so hard when things are so cheap and in your face as you walk down the aisles!
