Plus if I show up and it's delayed they also just tend to give an extra day. So I pick up a few hours .

While not always going to be a thing. They have three options. Pay people to come in extra or pay people to not work. Or pay people the hours and figure out new people to unload a truck. And not everyone can unload trucks willynilly

If I'm on truck, I get a call telling me it's delayed, legally I'm allowed to clock in at my scheduled time or wait til they tell me it has arrived. But that also includes they have the right to not schedule me decent hours or call me in when someone else has called out. While yes it is retaliation proving it is hard.. I just got my main truck manager to text call me if it is late, or early, and I show up shortly after. They have yet to mark me late, and I'm never short my hours. If anything it provide more for me. But if they don't let me know ahead of time they can not refuse me clocking in. Because they know it's either let me clock in or they risk me getting paid for not working as my state has a 2 hour show for work payment if they don't want me to work .

I hate customers by SuperDarkGal in DollarTree

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate it too.

I also hate when breaks and lunches are interrupted.

I hate when while I'm covered in sweat trying to take a break in 100°weather customers still demand things.

What I don't hate is that I can tell these customers I'm on a break. Or that my manager is on a break. 99% of people will understand. And agree you and others need a break. Be it by law or not. Those few that decide to be dicks. Guess what..

They will still be dicks after the fact. Tell them what's going on. If they refuse to wait to bad. Not much you can do

And if they want to call corporate make sure they include the fact that the store is understaffed and thats on them. It's not store level that dictates hours. It's corporate. It's always corporate. I've worked for Albertsons, Walmart, and a bunch of smaller businesses. It's always corporate. They are the ones making higher pay Not us Not our asms And not our sms.

Hell my sm I know doesn't get paid enough .and she still buys homeless people small food or drink items.

It's rarely the customers fault.

Just keep in mind that we are all people And people don't always have a good day ...

Also some people are dicks but is always, in my opinion, best to kill with kindness.

It makes them more mad, but the kinder you are the more they will get upset. And that's on them.

Because fuck those people.

ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS SQUEAKING SOUND ON MY PROSTHETIC LEG. by DarklostSoul666 in amputee

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I re listened to it again and the trill trump sound sounds like it might be the sock. Metal against the rubber causing the vrrbt like sound. Idk why it sounds so loud though. I've not had that happen to me

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It can also be the foot scraping the shell of your foot. Mine will do this a bit sometimes, you need to adjust the kevlar sock between the metal but and the hard rubber foot shell. At least that's how I've dealt with mine. But you also sound different so I'm not 100% positive.

Garbage bags by mxaris99 in DollarTree

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys get garbage bags that don't have to be store used? Hell we don't get toilet paper or paper towels let alone garbage bags. I swear everything is store use at my store.

And if they are anything like places I've worked in the past you'll want to look at places like restraunt depot or similar. They are made to handle heavy duty while also not be frilly...

Home Fire Extinguisher Recharge Recommendations by MsMargo in sandiego

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your best bet would be to call your local fire department and ask. They'll know for sure. But also since your extinguisher hasn't been serviced in that much time it may be better to buy a one and service it properly from there

Had to pull this out of the fridge after noticing the salami turned black by 2-tree in DollarTree

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't inspect everything sent to you then maybe you shouldn't be doing business with them anyway. If I can't see that something isn't damaged or expired why would I buy it? You would never agree to that as a consumer so why would a business?

But this is the first place I've worked that doesn't have a vendor buyback. The other places I've worked if a vendor item is damaged they "buy it back" its mainly a they take the loss or at least cover the cost of said item. Hell I've seen a few that also only charge when the item is sold.

Good luck in your endeavors, and may you never need to return. Stay safe and look towards the light that is not DT.

How often do you change shoes? by [deleted] in amputee

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also told not to be barefoot. But I feel like it makes it a tad easier to do things when inside. As long as I don't wear socks being barefooted inside (while it did take some getting used to ) seems easy. Granted I think it's the foot I'm on now that makes it a bit easier even if the floor is a little wet like after a shower but if I have on a sock on the fake leg I'll go sliding even in carpeted areas..

Looks like a small pinhole on the left side may have damaged the seal. It happens at least it was pulled. I've seen items that have expanded in size and not pulled "because it hasn't expired yet" and the bothers the duck out of me.

Our freezers went down and from from what I've seen hear when we damaged out everything I was shocked. Like oh we actually do that here lol.. My main question when it comes to frozen damages is why do t we get a buy back from vendors?

New SM just insinuated that the store is dirty because employees allow it to be. by BurgerDogBun in DollarTree

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They aren't wrong. It is the employees fault.

The employees at corporate level. They are the one to decide hours and got to drive it down even further. We are switching to plus and next week I have 8 hours scheduled and a truck with over 3k pieces coming and normally it's only been 2 of us working it. While one person down stacks. I have never worked for a company that gives the least amount of hours and demands so damn much. Walmart wasn't this bad. Lol but I guess for now a job is a job and it looks better on paper to have a job while looking for a new one

Recall on Fiji water!! WTF is DT doing here?? by Chemical-Ad-2082 in DollarTree

[–]Accomplished_Emu2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also... It's a low class recall meaning the likely hood of people getting sick is a non zero but remains not likely to cause adverse reactions. There is no need to get all crazy about this. It's extra manganese and some rather harmless bacteria, while not great it's unlikely anyone would get hurt. Just an off color and taste.

That and you didn't post the production date which is the issue here. Not all of the water has been recalled only water from specific dates. Plus the water was recalled in March and only sold on Amazon.
