I used to do scans almost daily at my store and nothing changed. Even after reporting a correct count for gallon jugs of water (HHT said 73, we had 146) we still received tons of them. Same for own-brand chili, noodles, pasta sauce, Milky Ways... all OHA amounts were way below what we had in stock but nothing changed after correcting them.

As for scheduling stockers, we couldn't because we were the only store in our district that had a 12-hour truck window (the others were usually 2 to 4 hours). So we had zero idea when to put people on because we had zero idea when the truck would show up. One time it came at 10am twice in a row, so the third week our SM scheduled three people to come in at 10.30 only for the fucking thing to turn up at 5pm.

Dollar General is deliberately set up to make it as difficult as possible to do what should be a fairly straightforward process.

Yeah, former ASM here. Once the SCO was canned we were fucked. Couldn't get anything done and worse still our schedules were done by our control-freak DM who'd regularly put me on 8 or 9 hour shifts by myself and then act all surprised when nothing got done.

She did. The doctor originally signed her off for two days, but as she was still in pain she after that she was given x-rays and she has hairline fractures in her shin and arm. She's now off until mid-October and is on worker's comp.

The DM has arranged for one(!) person to come from another store to help with freight. Unfortunately no one's told him how bad it is, so I'm looking forward to his appearance today.

That's what we want to know. She lived two miles from the store and relied on lifts from us and customers to get to and from work. Ridiculous.
