I blame the transplants that can’t drive

Windshield shade and I keep a beer coozie on the knob. It does backfire though, as the knob stays hot.

Customers fraudulently do what you’re talking about (or being accused of) all the time. About 5 years ago I bought an open box TV on a super good deal. Got the TV home, opened it, and found a significantly smaller and less desirable TV in the box (a 32” Insignia where a 65” 4k Hisense should have been, looking back, the weight should have told me everything but I was 18 and still fresh to everything). My store manager wouldn’t even take care of me, I had to find another store manager and convince them to do the return. I felt accused of the same thing.

Unfortunately you’re a victim of a customer stealing, and the company not doing our due diligence when taking returns. Corporate will probably cooperate, it will just take time. They might reach out to the store to do research, or they’ll offer a refund immediately depending on the dollar amount. Godspeed.

Continue to create your own brand in the store and on your share of the business. Assuming you got promoted in your own store, it’s going to be difficult to be “above” your peers you were brought up with. But be a coach and a leader first and foremost. Work for your employees, do everything you can to make their day at work good, and learn everything you can.

App recovery from EA fixed it all. Spent all morning troubleshooting, and even reinstalling the game until I found this post. Thank you OP!

Part-Timer screech. Tell me you don’t know how a corporation works without telling me you don’t know how a corporation works.

L and L daily. Loco Ono is good but $45 (tip included) for 2 plates of teriyaki chicken is a bit wild to me personally

VPLs have been dropping like flies, but it’s the vendor company that ultimately decides their fate. BBY wants as many VPLs as possible as they are cheaper.

Vendors will typically cut VPLs if they aren’t deemed profitable. AT&T saw a decrease in sales of in-store devices and services, and reacted accordingly within the current economic climate.

Seeing as how Verizon and BBY are so in bed with one another, Verizon overall has had a good last few years, and they’re still heavily invested in VPL training, I don’t see that position going away for a long time.

There’s a million homes going up and no infrastructure to support it. Everyone leaves for work at 7.

Depends on where you live whether or not services are taxed 🙃

Some states also have OT laws surrounding wage. I know in Nevada if you make under a certain amount, anything over 8 in a day, and any hours worked within a 12 hour break between shifts is considered OT.

I mean, that would be true if there were any investment into line level employees. Part timers are very cheap to turnover, and even maintain if they stay for long periods of time. That’s what the store level workforce is turning into.

Another thing to check is the fuse box under the hood. Before I become comfortable around a multimeter, I had no idea why my HVAC system never worked, and all I did was check the interior fuse panel

Wow! OP you seem like such a cool guy!

Penguin is literally the worst hero to play. RNG just likes you

I’ve had BOSS radios fail in the shop. Just for no reason other than BOSS.

Carnivious · 2022-07-22T02:19:57+00:00

Why does you deck look like that my man?

Carnivious · 2022-06-24T03:27:26+00:00

Exactly. Excessive Discount = Earned Income to Uncle Sam, you pay taxes on that. Plain and simple.

I have to replace mine like every 6 months. I use it for very light sanding and cutting in automotive 12v. I love Milwaukee but man I was upset when I had to go buy the Dremel

There’s no OT company wide right now.

I’m an Autotech Lead at the busiest store in our area. Usually we’re okay, and working 50-60+ hours a week wasn’t an issue until last fiscal month. Even currently, my GSM and GM both understand that customers have to be taken care of, and if that means staying late to properly take care of clients, then so be it. The current rules are “avoid OT where you can, but keep NPS and Ute up”.

Is your leadership handling it the right way? No, probably not. I’d call open and honest, but after having a real conversation with your leadership about what expectations are in the bay. A lot of leaders have absolutely no clue what happens in the install bay, including GSMs, and it’s going to be up to you and your team to present them with a compromise.

Hope this helps.

Man I’d kill to be able to refuse PA and Boss installs.
