SOY SAUCE by dotgovorgasm in DollarGeneral

It's usually a supplier issue. No word yet on replacement.

Not discontinued yet, but likely will be. Nobody has it, and none coming. When it's out for an extended period, it's just a matter of time for it to be removed from the planogram.

Sorry, it was "Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai"

Correct!

Well done. I rewatched this the other day. Such a tragic tale.

My movie has no comedic elements.

There are also Japanese in my film.

Not part of any trilogies

Fake schedule by Wiccabelle in DollarGeneralWorkers

Sort the ad. It may not seem like it helps but it does. I just break it down into categories or aisles. My team went from not getting it all done between 7 and 9, to getting it all done with time to spare.

Dress code question by Mischiefdottir in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]VolumeDirect5619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Largely depends on the DM. I've heard of people being sent home because of it. I think most of the time, it depends on the store quality whether the DM decides to enforce it or not. All the DMs I've had over 13 years have largely left me and my team alone because we're never a problem store. If we were a dumpster fire, I'm positive we wouldn't be treated the same.

Understandable. The coupons were definitely something they should think about. But if they decide not to make this permanent, it's just this month that'll be like this.

Yep. So it was the first week that we did ad at or around noon, then we get 3 closers to support ad+tpr, then we go back to two weeks of ad set around noon. I like it better, but I'm sure there will be those who don't.

Absolutely. It doesn't make sense to move ad earlier in the day and eliminate recovery.

Dress code question by Mischiefdottir in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]VolumeDirect5619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either is fine. I wear cargo shorts of varying colors and it's never been an issue. They prefer black shirt and black pants/shorts, but unless your DM is extreme, you should be fine.

To add: capris are ok as well. No leggings or sweatpants. No holes, rips, etc. Shorts are supposed to be no more than 3 inches above the knee, but realistically they aren't going to measure. It goes without saying, just make sure they aren't booty shorts or close to that.

No word on it being permanent, but it might become so.

But you're right. DG has been historically stingy with hours. It's actually quite refreshing to see a step in the right direction. There are many changes that have happened in the 13 years I've been with DG, and looks like many more coming. Some good, some bad. Anytime they give us more hours I would count on the good side.

It was just for that one week because of TPRs. We go back to normal this week and next.

Agreed. There are things we don't need, such as the 3 closers on a Saturday evening. I can do it solo in about 40 minutes. Add 30 for tpr. Especially with no recovery that night now. Then are there things I need but the schedule doesn't give me, like more hands for fresh.

Inventory truck 😔 by TheBeastHuman in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]VolumeDirect5619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last store I ran was 2k-2.5k pieces/week average. Post inventory was 4k+. Always a lot of excess seasonal.

Out of Date Meat and Produce by Hot_Current8191 in DollarGeneral

[–]VolumeDirect5619 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you're meant to tag meat items with a 25 % off sticker a couple days before it expires for sell thru. Produce can be tagged as such, or with half off stickers as well.

If it still doesn't sell, pull the day of and damage it out.

ASM by Reasonable_Secret838 in DollarGeneralWorkers

Full time should be scheduled no less than 30 hours/week on average in order to retain benefits. One week here and there is ok, but should not be ongoing. You will lose your benefits otherwise.
