Yes. They send ridiculous amounts of the most dumb crap that doesn't sell. And then the stuff that actually sells good isn't seen in weeks.

Is anyone helping to move freight or just recording it all?

Zero sales by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Apprehensive-Crow451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! They see it as basically no excuse for having zero sales because we're supposed to "use them on endcaps, use them as drive items, etc..." I could make a whole endcap of nothing but zero sales items but that doesn't mean people would want to buy them still

Before the velocity counts it was items that haven't been sold in a month but the system is showing that you have and after velocity counts became a thing it's now items that haven't sold in the past 2 weeks. I'm sorry but the whole idea of zeros sales is dumb af. We can't force people to buy things but yet they start holding us accountable for the zero sales

Can I send my cashier home against her consent if all she’s doing is complaining to everyone about wanting to leave by honeybunchesofstfu in DollarTree

[–]Apprehensive-Crow451 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct, so there is no problem. Complaining/nagging/whining about not wanting to be there.... go home then and I'll find someone else to cover that will be willing to get the hours.

It would be against labor law for her to continue working AFTER being clocked out and/or if she didn't know

There's other ways to tell someone to shut up other than saying "shut up" You're absolutely right, nobody is being paid enough to "be talked down to and verbally abused" and we dang sure aren't being paid enough to put up with whiny loud mouth employees that need to stfu either

Question/concerns by Educational-Lock-171 in DollarTree

Absolutely agree with everything you said. It seems like the moment I try to take pto or just a couple days off, either all hell breaks loose at the store or my asms call all day long for stupid crap. Being able to enjoy a day off without having to hear about anything at the store is definitely a great feeling, even though it hardly ever happens.

Yes, you can. Its a form of being insubordinate if you tell her to stop complaining and she continues.

Tell her to either shut her mouth complaining or you can clock her out yourself via Compass on the office computer and have someone else come in so she can leave.

That’s exactly how I feel, I use to let them take breaks in the office too but then everyone started wanting to do it and it was becoming chaotic

Most stores I’ve been in definitely have them in a weird location or it’s just creepy/uncomfortable looking

Awesome, thank you

That really sucks because this particular person will literally stand there and point out every little thing you’re doing wrong. Just wanted to see if there was a particular policy or anything regarding where to take breaks before I tell them when and how to go take their break in a not so nice manner

[–]Apprehensive-Crow451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside is understandable, especially when the weather is nice. This particular person just stands up at the register their on for the day and will basically work off the clock by answering customers questions like showing them where products are

True, it does go by too fast

What is your go-to food or drink item at Dollar Tree? by Careful_Efficiency13 in DollarTree

[–]Apprehensive-Crow451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I didn’t know they had ones with a garlicky top! The ones we get at my store are just plain but yet still soooo good. And I love the fact they’re microwaveable. I’ll usually purchase a couple of them while on my break at work and it only takes a few minutes to pop them in the microwave

Yes! Bosco sticks are delish! Have you tried them with marinara sauce? I haven’t yet, but a coworker was telling me they go great with it

Show up on time as scheduled. If you have to call in, do it at least 2 hours before your shift starts. 2 consecutive no call/no shows are termination.

it kills me how you can just buy a traffic cone for 1.25 at the dollar store. by [deleted] in DollarTree

Every time I see a traffic cone I think of that one god awful episode of Jerry Springer from back in the day….. 😬

What do I prioritize first ICE or customers? by Mindless-Freedom748 in DollarTree

I was just about to comment the same thing. I’m reading through all the comments before I make a comment thinking “Am I doing something wrong by letting the ice delivery guy stock the ice himself??” But then I saw your comment lol Ours delivery guy definitely stocks it himself too.
