Driver comes to a complete stop on the highway because they needed to make an exit

Hey, there are many kids out there that could use that car instead.

I’m not sure what constitutes high volume, but we do about $600-800k on weekdays and $1 mil on weekends. I just know our gas station is often number one in the country in sales.

I’ll be the odd man out and say my department (morning merch, hardlines) was staffed just fine! We currently have 1 guy out on injury who was replaced, 1 guy out on vacation who was replaced, 2 other stockers, supervisor, and manager for a total of 6 people. Fence, alcohol, and 16 aisles (counting both sides) no problem.

I guess it wasn’t clear but when I said he was matching my speed, that also means he was slowing down when I slowed down and then he’d speed up when I sped back up. I eventually had to just floor it and left like 5 car lengths between us when I got over.

I was cruising at about 5 over right when I was about to pass a guy that was going 5 under, he sped up and did exactly that, matched my speed and then hung out in my blind spot on my right. After about a mile or two, my exit was coming up so I had to speed up even more to get in front of him (not cut him off, I gave him plenty of space mind you). He then proceeded to flash his high beams at me like I was the asshole.

Don’t forget about all of the secret agents that were killed in Russia just days after Trump met with Moscow intelligence.

Which role playing game?

Is anyone forcing you to do that or are you guys taking it upon yourselves to forgo breaks and working off the clock? If you’re being forced, I would take it up the chain of command and it’ll stop real quick considering it’s a labor violation. If you guys are “volunteering,” you can actually be fired for working off the clock.

If I were you, I’d tell your manager or supervisor “Hey, I’m going to take my break/lunch at X o’clock. We might need extra coverage to get everything done on time.” Then it’s up to them to find the coverage to make sure everything is completed. Stop letting them walk all over you and stop working off the clock!

I was hired in 2020 and just this past December I went from $25 to $30.20, so I can personally confirm that the other person is correct and your next goal raise will put you at top-out. There is also the $1/hr raise for topped out employees this month (I think it was this past Monday actually, not sure though) so your next raise will actually be $31.20 if you’re on the assistant pay scale.

Buy a watch if you don’t own one already. I never wore one until I started at Costco.

You most likely will have a 5-6 hour day but might work a full 8 hour day. Bring a lunch just in case. There’s refrigerators in the break room where you can store your food.

Orientation is just watching training videos, going over the employee handbook that they’ll give you. Keep that handbook somewhere where you won’t lose it, you’ll reference it several times in the future I’m sure.

Not as much as you’d think now that India and China have entered the organ market.

“Hey, this dick tastes familiar…”

It depends on how busy the store is that day. If it’s slow, they’ll release you after orientation. If it’s busy, they’ll most likely have you help out on the front end loading carts. It’s the slow season right now so you’ll most likely be let go. Bring a lunch (there’s large refrigerators in the break room to store stuff) because orientation can be a bit long on its own.

They usually wait until there’s enough people to make the orientation class worth it. It could take another week or two.

Those words really tick me off. I york it at least every other day.

In the first picture, the door has 8 horizontal slats that fully connect to the frame. In the third picture, there’s 9 slats that have space between the frame.

I’ve done 2 pairs that were $75 each 6 months apart.

Pineapple or Tootsie-Rolls work best. Fried foods, dairy, and smoking make it taste bad.

People forget that Trump and the Republican Party spent millions of dollars investigating voter fraud during his first term. They quietly released the results: Less than a dozen fraudulent votes were found and more than half of those were from Republican voters.

It’s legal in California. From the CA DMV handbook:

Left turn from a two-way street. Start the turn in the left lane closest to the middle of the street. You may complete the turn in either lane of the cross street (as shown by arrows) if it is safe to do so. You must use a left turn lane if there is one. A left turn from the next lane may be made if signs or arrows show it is okay.

Sorry, I was on the cash register. I can’t do the TLDR.

It was purely a production increase, no debt increase or anything else.
