Neurodiver-Gents Presents: a close attention to retail Neurodiver-Gents

Welcome to Episode 9!

Neurodiver-Gents, Lain and Ryan are joined by special guest, Darby.

Shout out to anybody who has ever worked in subpar stores.

We tackle the topic of returns in this episode.

It's... a huge nope... it's the emperor tries to bring their bike back... it's return of the dread cry...
It's a random menace... it's a stack of the groans... it's... infringing on b*tch.
It's remorse forsaken... it's a vast red lie... it's... a surprise WHY talker...

Returns is a very frustrating one and it's often because of the demands made by unreasonable people.

So please... head to your local supermarket, buy the best grapes they have, head to your favourite wine country region, sneak into a winery at sunrise, enjoy eating the grapes amongst their brethren vines and join us once more as we pay a close attention to retail!

Welcome to Episode 8!

Neurodiver-Gents, Lain and Ryan are joined by special guest, Cass

We dive into a discussion about sales culture and the issues faced in the sales world.
Such as lack of effective and regulated training; less than ethical salespeople... towards customers and even other staff.

We also get into topics like targets, commission, poor staff practices, and other inner workings of a sales-based environment.

So please... buy tickets to a local pottery class, make the shittiest vase you've ever seen, treasure it, feed it and water it, nourish it, love it, treat it right, and schedule a date night together to join us once more as we pay a close attention to retail!

Welcome to Episode 7!

Neurodiver-Gents, Lain and Ryan are joined by special guest, Christine.
And by ANOTHER special guest, Ray.

We discuss the topic of discrimination in this episode.
We talk about internal issues such as cliques but also about assumptions and judgements people make on others based on what they look like or how they act.
We touch on victimisation and also about lumping certain groups into categories. And how those subconscious biases can play a part in the way we treat people or how others treat us.

So please... save this episode to your offline playlists, head out into the wilderness, pitch a tent, scream at a tree, apologise to the tree, and join us once more as we pay a close attention to retail!

Edited by Lain... twice... damn corruption of files.
Salvaged/repaired by Ryan... twice...

Welcome to Episode 6!

Neurodiver-Gents, Lain and Ryan are joined by special guest, Soph.

We hope you are well and of a sound mind.
The topic for this episode is Mental Health!
It's about the system getting more and more out of hand and becoming a lack there of for being a system and more of a mess really.

We speak about the lack of support often given to retail workers and the lack of care from customers as well as lack of reciprocation of respect and how that affects the lives of retail workers for the worse.

So please... head to your local drive-in theatre, park your car, press play on your preferred podcast streaming service, ignore the movie, and join us once more as we pay a close attention to retail!

Welcome to Episode 5!

Neurodiver-Gents, Lain and Ryan are joined by special guest, Greg.

We hope you can manage to get through this one!
It's all about management issues and the problems with that filter down system where the issues tend to affect the staff and customers more than anything.
Where issues that are brought up aren't properly addressed or managed and it, in turn, causes other issues.

It's about that lack of big picture thinking that leads to larger and more long term problems.

So please... take your bluetooth speaker down the the local beach hangout spot, lay down a towel, pop an umbrella, and join us once more as we pay a close attention to retail!

Welcome to Episode 4!

Neurodiver-Gents, Lain and Ryan talk about ignorance in this episode.

It's a long one! We hope that doesn't mean it will be ignored.

Ignorance goes hand in hand with last episode's topic, entitlement.
It's a hard one because sometimes there are genuine reasons for things but a lot of the time there's only excuses.
And a lot of poor behaviours with no apology or recognition.

So please... jump in your car, drive to your local make-out spot, and join us once more as we pay a close attention to retail!
