Everything you always wanted to know about hardware stores: An alleged OBI employee unpacks anonymously.

Also about his salary.

Munich - On the Internet, people are always tearing their mouths about it: it's almost impossible to find a hardware store employee when you're looking for one.

"Looking for the hardware store employee.

Day 3. Supplies are running low,” is just one of many jokes on Twitter.

In this respect, it is very exciting when a hardware store employee takes a position on this topic and others.

This was recently done by a Reddit user named Glad_Pomelo_7231, who claims to have worked there for a total of four years.

He does this on Reddit in a so-called "Ask me anything" anonymously and without verification, so his statements should be treated with caution.

According to their own statements, the hardware store employee probably works at OBI

However, the answers seem plausible and do not indicate a fake.

Especially since he says: "But the hardware store is simply my world.

I need it, me freak, me.” He only half reveals which hardware store he works for. “My favorite animal is the beaver.

We don't like hearing Bauhaus that much.” The beaver?

So OBI.

His responses are just as compelling as those of supermarket and other retail workers who recently revealed the sayings they're sick of hearing.

Of course, he also gets asked the question of all questions: "Where are you always?" A user wants to know and gets 80 likes for that alone.

As an answer, the alleged hardware store employee first served a joke, but then got serious.

"We can't hide at all.

Are chronically understaffed,” he complains.

Where are the hardware store employees?

Alleged OBI employee clarifies the question

In fact, sometimes he can't save himself from customers who don't want advice.

"If I'm standing somewhere in the main aisle, I'm immediately surrounded by three customers.

The other customers will of course notice this immediately.

And then I'm like a mother duck.

The ducklings in tow, of course.”

The user then also gives an insider tip on where to look for a DIY store employee: “Pro tip: just always look in the screw aisle to see if there is an employee there.

There's almost always one.

Once in there and you never get out.”

Someone also wants to know how he actually knows the whole hardware store range.

If he doesn't do it at all, the user admits.

“But I know my departments: paint, housing, machinery, hardware, building materials fairly well .

You just learn with time.

Things like duct tape, moving boxes, felt pads, customers ask for them thirty times a day.

It's just my job." For which, according to his statements - of course someone also asks about the earnings - he gets "1700 net", "with a 37.5-hour week".

He also praises his colleagues and his boss.

"As I said, I can babble on about my trade with a blood alcohol level of 2.0.

We are highly competent.”

For the hardware store job that makes him happy, he also accepts a drop of bitterness: always the same music, from morning to night.

Another user posts that a hardware store buddy has already complained about it.

He's not alone in that, confirms DIY store answerer Glad_Pomelo_7231: "'Oops!... I did it again' from Britney every day at just before twelve.

'Wonderwall' by Oasis every day at 3pm.

Some J.Lo song at a little before seven.

I feel your colleague.

Day after fucking day.

I personally don't hear that anymore.

If necessary, I put headphones in in the evening and listen to my music.

Bosse doesn't say anything.” Does he have something like that too?

A few months ago someone discovered a secret room in a hardware store - with exciting content.
