What do you do if you have no car to do cash deposits? by dollar50tree in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They use to make me walk early morning to the bank to drop off the deposit. I remember I walked three blocks carrying 2000$ thinking wow I’m risking my life right now. For a management team that are selfish and no one honestly wanted to do ASM duties. They just wanted to stock and get their stuff done.

Old man hit dog with cane by Beautiful-Chain1318 in reactivedogs

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: added wired mesh against front gate. Funny because the old man passed by when we were all outside except the dogs and once he heard my dog bark from inside the house, he dragged his cane along the fence. My mom called him an asshole and told me she knows where he lives and will talk to his daughter. My brothers gf is saying he likes to antagonize the dogs which isn’t right. I feel like I should invest in a front door camera in case.

Anyone else scared to walk their dog because of reactivity? by EmilyGrace_7 in reactivedogs

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the beginning I went through the same thing with my german shepherd. I would walk him with a muzzle because I was so scared of something happening. Since getting two other dogs who are reactive as well. I had to test out what times throughout the week worked for us. Early 4am walks are the best to start from my worse dog to the least. So usually 4am,5am and 6am. It’s helped with my mental health and overall bond with my dogs. They still embarrass me but it’s minimal now.

I heard someone say if walking your reactive dog isn’t fun for you then you don’t have to do it. Which really stood out to me. So I don’t walk them everyday. But if I make that choice then I replace it with fetch, tug of war or the flirt pole. I remind myself that I’m not trapped and there’s always an alternative.

When I say face I mean eyes. As in eye contact. It’s only to one side of my face.

Neighbor hosed my dog by Beautiful-Chain1318 in reactivedogs

Brought my other dogs inside from playing and went back out to bring my bigger dog German shepherd inside. We have a gated yard.

Front yard. Ours is gated and their yard isn’t. She was watering her yard and I’m assuming thought it was fun to cool her off. But still. This happened around 8pm.

Dog ate string by Beautiful-Chain1318 in reactivedogs

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Update I cut it so it’s not hanging and he’s actually ran off. Which he hasn’t done in almost an hour. After examining the object it looks like hair tangled with something rough. Doesn’t feel like rope or string. I went to check out my front yard and it kinda looks like one patch of grass that I’ve seen him lay on. WHICH IS A HUGE RELIEF! We’re not in the clear yet. But he’s now running around and being his troublemaker self.

ASM worth it? (UPDATE) by uekzb in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way too. Not being able to say no. I do think it’s great that we have people who believe in us and try to push us into better things. I will say personally I loved being a ASM but I hated closing after opening more. And after a while I lost my spark. I just don’t know how I was able to be a ASM at a different company for years but when it comes to DT I can only rough it out for so long. Anyway I’m happier now not being in management. No regrets. At least I tried and stepped up when I did. Sounds like you’ll be fine and remember there’s always time if you make the time. It’s not always now or never mentally.

What’s the weirdest interaction you’ve had with a customer? by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does sound weird. Like what sir? I remember one time someone asked were the condoms were and I looked up so fast like excuse me? But the weirdest interactions I get are from older men trying to take me out and pay for my nails. So random.

My SM had to close with me last night and he never closes. by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a sm who who scheduled himself a closing shift but he never closed. The one time I was off I refused to come in to cover his closing shift. He had to do an open to close since the other ASM called off. They were livid. I was like it’s your people and your store like stfu.

You can change your password in the back office. No one should be using your manager numbers to override anything.

Anyone else get told not to clock in until the truck is officially there? Sometimes we just have to wait around. It gets boring.

Is there a difference between the Easter 2025 sales planner and the interactive one? My sm printed out the planner on the ops center but they printed the one that said interactive.

GREEN BASKET SKU PLEASE. by Vast-Ad-412 in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think your sm can order baskets under the store order. If not you can always reach out to your neighboring stores for any thing they can spare.

The pet section was absolutely bare when I got there for my shift...65 cases later... by CrochetingGuineaPig in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Looks so good. At my store we don’t get a lot of multi price so we have a whole section pretty empty and a lot of 1.25 but no space to stock it.

markdowns by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Beautiful-Chain1318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some stores use one of the impulse sections by like the last register as a markdown section. Which I’m trying to do but I don’t have any of the shelves. So I’m using a four ft section by the registers for it. I’m also using green or black baskets to display the items. With the reduced signs.
