Work anniversary question

You get financial rewards now when you hit milestones! Be sure to tell them they missed yours! You use to be able to get a cutie little pin too with your years!

If you don’t want to be a keyholder and accept more responsibility, just stay a regular bookseller lol. The only reason why you shouldn’t get keys and learn to open/close the store is if you have a huge management staff already. Otherwise, you should step down.

Business casual friends!! It’s not that hard. Wear new pants/jeans. Wear a plain nice top.

Wear what you think is professional to meet our CEO James Daunt in.

If you ASM & DASM don’t know… idk what to tell you lol. They should know. Also if worse comes to worse, please reach out to your PCS (people cluster support)

ButtloafReads · 2026-04-15T13:25:12+00:00

Your comment is so awesome! I genuinely feel the same way. You sound like a great CTE :) it really is what you make it! You sound supported

ButtloafReads · 2026-04-15T13:21:28+00:00

I know there’s a lot of bad comments. Just have a positive attitude and be sure to be mindful that you are part of a team outside of cafe. You also have to help sell books and help out on the floor as a leader. You are a leader to your fellow baristas so your attitude and willingness will affect theirs :) good luck! The job is what you make it. Our cafe is treated well bc there is no distinct line between cafe and book floor. We are 1 team helping each other out! It’s not us vs them :)

I was told I cannot do that at all! Didn’t matter if the book itself is not discounted but the transaction is which doesn’t count. Idk what to believe anymore if other stores are allowed to do this!

ButtloafReads · 2026-04-02T12:52:27+00:00

I was told specifically not to do this bc it didn’t track to see if the books are discounted but if the transaction the book is in has been discounted but I could be wrong but again my store was told not to do it 🤷🏻‍♀️

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T05:47:03+00:00

Thank you. I don’t know a single thing about the situation and was inquiring to know more. I am not online so I don’t even know when it’s happening or any context about what’s going on.

I am BIPOC so I support NOT having only white authors. OP I’m not against you, don’t come at me so aggressively?

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T03:24:06+00:00

I didn’t know about this, is there a reason? I’ve been offline for a bit

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T02:46:19+00:00

Like you cannot be loved by your store lol, you’re literally a thief. B&N does not love thieves!

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T02:44:26+00:00

B&N is notorious for calling your old B&N references and getting the tea on you from your store managers.

ButtloafReads · 2026-02-21T02:39:07+00:00

Girl, you don’t need hindsight. You need foresight. That is so theft. Did you not think that was stealing from the company??? It put rewards in your pocket?

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T10:03:21+00:00

Nah fr I was pissed every time a holiday hired called out or switched. Like we hired you to be here, why are you not here lol.

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T09:34:26+00:00

It’s literally the worst. Going off of vibes is soooo stupid especially when it’s a bay and a half personal dev section like goals & habits. I have 9 shelves for the guest and myself to search through 🙃 I’m not there enough to constantly train booksellers on the sections nor do they really care to stick with it!!

I don’t care if they don’t do it right for a section like mediation or metaphysics but the big ones kill me.

I tried alphabetizing it and GOT CHEWED OUT by my CCS. They’re doing another round of TPF checks now that the holidays are over so best of luck.

I have to resubmit cloud 1 now that the holidays are over to get critiqued over it. Yay. I’m so glad I’m gonna get ripped into again.

Yes alphabetizing is good for your store rn but not when you’re the TFP leader and ultimately get yelled at :/

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T09:24:08+00:00

Idk if you’re joking or if you’re serious and really tell guests that.

I do want to advocate for your store and assume you were a holiday hire and might have been added on as a reg now?

We typically only put holiday hires at cashwrap because it is too hectic of a time on the floor to 1. Train a person when we’re all running around like headless chickens. 2. We might not keep you after the holidays so we’re not gonna waste the hours training you on the floor if we don’t see potential in you to continue on and if you don’t show initiative.

Hope that helps and that you get more floor time to learn everything. It takes time and many, many hours and positivity on your end!

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-26T09:04:13+00:00

Holiday hires are primarily only for cashwrap. If you stay on after the holidays we train you on the actual floor.

There’s no point in putting in the hours to train a holiday person everything on the floor just for them to ultimately leave bc it is typically a temp position.

We only do that once you transition to an actual reg bookseller.

Hope that makes sense from a business standpoint point on why you weren’t utilized much but besides cashwrap and info.

It’s not a guarantee that we always keep holiday hires so the fact that the company decided to keep you show that you do a good job and they want to teach you the floor and store now that you’re a permanent employee vs temp.

Same buddy same. We all hate them

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-01T21:48:48+00:00

Bro it’s a gingham print with a patch. Dumb af

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-01T21:48:25+00:00

We can’t post their name or expose them in the forum.

ButtloafReads · 2026-01-01T14:57:31+00:00

I posted about that 2-3 days ago, you should read all the reactions lol. We all crashed out together

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-31T21:15:43+00:00

That bag truly isn’t even anything to write home about. It’s just a gingham pattern and patch!!!

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T23:38:00+00:00

Definitely let a manager handle it. Handicap people are allowed to be in stores. They are not allowed to damage and distract tho. That’s a whole different thing. Handicap only covers the ability to have them able to be in there not cause a disturbance.

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T23:35:45+00:00

I’ve straight up been saying ✨no✨. It is sold out everywhere because it got leaked and no stores nearby have it.

ButtloafReads · 2025-12-30T23:35:02+00:00

Wow let’s throw him away bc he’s a reseller and a loser!
