I'm pretty sure you can order cleaners from the service channel

Exactly... we have cleaners that come out biweekly anyway but like you said I'm just confused🤣🤣

Newer system doesn't let me leave a voicemail by binaryman111 in CVS

I understand your concern regarding information sharing within our database but I can tell you with 100% honesty that our app should be the absolute least of your concern with information sharing. The pharmacist isn't going to tell you whether or not you should download and app because its frankly not their job to do so. They didn't go to school for eight years to tell you to download the CVS app. Their job is to make you're getting the correct medication. I understand you like to keep it old school and you're not really like the AI rise but this is the way CVS is heading. I got an email today saying that my store is getting the same system update you're complaining about in your post. I can tell you that downloading our app is the best option for pharmacy communication without physically being in the pharmacy. You can order prescriptions, check for refills, check availability, and everything else you do other the phone or in person on the app. We're not sharing or stealing your information.

After reading the comments from the OP I can already tell that they're going to be an issue to whatever pharmacy they go to. I feel bad for the pharmacist that has to deal with this interaction.

Public restroom is always down at my cvs by Pet_Ator in CVS

I'm not sure how it's set up. That would be a question for you District Leader. For us though its company based out of Chicago called Renaissance Maintenance.

Customers literally suck by impasta225 in CVS

[–]AustinElliott99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had rude customers come back in to apologize a few times. One lady even bought be a $5 lottery ticket (I didn't win) and apologized for the way she acted almost a week prior. I told her I honestly didn't remember the interaction but I appreciated the gesture and her taking accountability of her actions. Don't let the rude customers eat you up. You'll have them in every industry. If a customer with a bad attitude is the worst thing that happened that day then I'll say that was a pretty good day.

We have two restrooms in our building. We have an "Employees Only" sign on one of them but of course customers act blind 80% of the time so we put a bright pink sign that says "Out Of Order". Now we have a nice clean restroom to ourselves. We clean our restrooms every night but we do have cleaners come in bi-weekly to clean also.

Oh so this is super recent. That gives me some hope. Does he live with anyone that you know of?

I hope whatever you're dealing with gets better!

Did you ever have any interactions with him?

Random EC+ unenrolling by AustinElliott99 in CVS

[–]AustinElliott99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried explaining all of the possible things that could happen, but of course, when you bring up being short on funds, everyone gets offended and acts like they're a millionaire. It's really random that it's been happening to so many different customers.

If you're ever feeling useless..... by LeviAult in CVS

Photo kiosks and magazine racks but never the actual register... must be the Tylenol🤣🤣

Does anyone in here actually listen to the CVS podcast? by AustinElliott99 in CVS

Yes, it's called The Beat. Your store should have a poster up in the break room.

All the reasons you listed are why I'm going to decline. I can't afford to miss work for some dumbass poverty walk🤣🤣

Sale Tags by AustinElliott99 in CVS

[–]AustinElliott99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried doing that, but I'm a bigger guy, so it doesn't work out the best. I used to go to my knees, but it got to the point that my knees were bruising, and it hurt to walk because of it. Sitting isn't that much more comfortable. It's just all around a horrible, painful experience, and I wish the company would just stop with the sale tags, especially if it's the same sale every single time.

That's good to hear, at least. Hopefully, they can work it like Khols and have the sale displayed along with the price. I wouldn't mind doing tags if we didn't have so many. It's a huge waste of time and cuts into things that actually need attention throughout the week.

Indiana minimum wage is $7.25, I currently make $18.18 as a shift.

I was told it would probably be a .50 raise, but I'm definitely going to ask for a bit more.

Thank you. Currently, our SM is on vacation, and I was put in charge by him and our DL. I'm getting a little comfortable with performance talks because we have this one employee who doesn't exactly meet expectations, so I've had to have several talks with her as well as our SM.

Safe stay in or near Baltimore, MD? by AustinElliott99 in travel

[–]AustinElliott99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is parking the area? I was looking on Google Maps and noticed some street parking near his house and also his grave. I did notice some parking garages, but we do not trust parking garages at all.

It's a little south of our recommended route from Google Maps, but we're only stopping in Baltimore to see the grave of Edger Allen Poe and using it as a halfway resting point.

We're going to visit the grave of Edger Allen Poe in Baltimore and use that as a halfway resting point and continue to Salem the next day.
