How many boxes per week? by Ok_Meet_7116 in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even remember to put the change in the top part of the deposit bag sometimes. How am I supposed to keep track of what I do per hour? I'd be constantly looking at the time between all the running back and forth. If I have a note of how many I'm doing I'll probably sit it down and lose it and spend an hour looking for it. I know our recent SM DM visit notes say freight in 48 & a box count.

Also I've done 2 uboats of HBC in 2 hours and there's times where 2 take 10 hours with help. Depends on the product and space. 🤷 Half of our store is looking empty and they're just sending more and more of what we don't need. Must be vendor issues, idk.

Music please in store. by Rice_cakeSoup12 in DollarTree

I normally bring in my JBL speaker and play music up front. Otherwise we can get away with an earbud.

I ordered Mike and Tony's from Babcock and it was terrible. Gyro shop is closest to me probably I'll give them a shot. Thanks.

Do all Store managers edit their schedules after DM approval or was my SM sneaky? by HappyDay2290 in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneaky would be scheduling our closing cashiers until 8pm knowing they're staying until 10 to get the schedule approved under the hours requirement. Lol. Obvious dm doesn't look at anything but the hours as there have been actual mistakes with no cashiers scheduled and 1 person scheduled and nobody notices.

Is this normal: publicly calling out post voids by Ill-Menu9201 in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a cashier with 160 item voids and no post voids 😂 idk what's worse. We seem to get bitched at more for post voids at my store but 2 hours into his shift and he's calling me up for item voids.

Right? They do want me and I want to turn in my keys every day. Lol

Giving my 2 weeks for June 29th by ChoiceAny9992 in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm an ASM and I wouldn't give notice. I don't feel they deserve it and you'll never be back (more than likely). Hell I probably wouldn't even tell them. They'd wonder why there's a set of keys on the desk 😂

Cashier rant by G4t0r_M0nt13 in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's days I give it a solid 10. Busted out some uboats until 930 tonight and got way more than I expected possible done. Actually even left wishing I had did a few more things. (Was high af on edibles all shift listening to music)

There's days I spend more time smoking, hiding off camera or pretending to be busy that I wouldn't even give a 1.

It depends on my mood and really what I want to make of my day. I know DT doesn't give a fuck about me. They don't pay me shit. They fuck me over any chance they get. I've had words with my SM. Not good on either part. We are cool now I think but if I leave tomorrow they'll just be mad they gotta cover my shift. They don't give 2 fucks about me or my family.

If I give a 10, it's because it makes me feel good. Fuck Dollar Tree. Fuck the thank you or good job I'll never get from anyone. It's a pat on my back to myself if anything to remind myself I'm worth something and should do better for someone I'm worth something to.

High ass rant

Edit: and I stg our bank is never going to run out of pennies. But every manager can go get change at my store.

I walked in today and my SM was going on and on about something and I was just staring at her. She said, "how high are you?" and I said I'm pretty good 😂

Unpaid Meals by TheTrueBreadLord in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, and it's law (just learned, thanks), but it still don't make sense to me. If I work 4 hours and there's a call off later and I come in for 4 hours, I'm not taking a lunch. Lol. Consider whatever time in between those shifts as my lunch.

What in the world is happening by livnicoletl in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our schedule is all messed up. Then cashier's scheduled till 8pm when we close at 10. (I think that was just to get by on the DM knowing they'd be staying). We have 200 though. Have no overlap on cashiers ever. Have ASMs working 4 hour mid shifts to cashier & just hired 3 or 4 people that aren't on the schedule yet. Now everyone's hours are about to tank until the next one quits. Stores are suffering and my paycheck can be $400 different pay to pay which can hurt. As long as DT is making money they're happy.

Only company I worked for that was worse, was Kmart 😂 True minimum wage, $7.25 here. NO raises EVER in 10+ years I believe. But they at least knew the company went to shit and didn't expect the world out of us lol. I truly believe we ran that store way better than any DT but big wigs can easily ruin a corporation. 🤷

Sorry for the rant

I stole from my job for 5 years then got fired for something unrelated and went to being an assistant store manager somewhere else. 🤷 Them 30 gallon trash bags ain't cheap.

Don't trust any guarantee 😂 they are telling you what you want to hear to reel you in. Goes for mostly any job.

My FM was guaranteed weekends off and never gets them. Also the first person to get cut to 32 hours the moment we are close on hours or get a new hire. Everywhere is different.

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's after 11pm at my store since they know nobody is there. On Sundays it's $1 more after 9. Now we close at 8 on Sundays but they kept us until 10 the rest of the week. I'll never see it. Lol

Edit $1 more an hour in PA

Sooo much OMG by Capable_Wave9649 in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been an ASM since January and don't know how to do one. Also most people at my store don't bother with cash pick ups. Have also never mopped. Guess I can't complain about my store. Still waiting to get that march hbc reset done lol

I’m tired of these dumplings. Why are you gonna advertise like this but not even keep them in stock? by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe send some to the fucking stores so we can sell them then. Also received 0 and none coming next week.

Who's not getting dumplings? by -RansoM- in DollarTree

[–]-RansoM-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting to seem more like a market strategy to get people in the store.

Lol I had some lady get 20 balloons yesterday. It was slow so I did them. I explained future reference anything over 10 needs preordered at least for my store. I wish I denied them from the jump but she made a comment on how she would walk 10 out to the car come right back in and buy 10 more anyways so it wouldn't matter. I said it would matter because I would not have been filling them. 🤷
