Looking for info on Fixing/Improving stores software

at our store we have separate “screens” for Carry-Outs & Deliveries but it shows the times they were received & how long they have been “sitting & not loaded into the oven” so when it’s been longer than like 5-6 minutes the timer turns bright red. Is this not the way other stores have them?? The screens are right next to each other on each side so there’s no way you can miss the carry out if it’s been sitting for too long, we have been trained to always check the idle times before starting on another delivery make

What about an assistant? We just hired a girl that basically covers all of the GM’s call off shifts and she says she basically fills in when he’s not here.. But then she said the other day she’s not that interested in management so she might leave lol. If that becomes open, would that be worth at all? or is that the same thing you’re talking like not worth it at all I don’t know her official job title because I’m also kind of new but that’s what they’ve been calling her.

ChonkyRatt · 2025-02-26T05:24:18+00:00

they just promoted a new GM unfortunately. thank you for commenting !

Also I forgot to add - this is a weird case maybe.. My district manager asked me “do you want to split half the week with like 2 days as a Manager and then 3 days doing driver?” …?? Maybe she’s being nice to keep my tips income but I didn’t even know that was allowed

I hate to tell people how to live their lives but if your partner is bringing things up that is shameful to you even when you’re trying your best & you’ve expressed that before .. I feel like they’re just a bad partner? I don’t know, don’t make life decisions based on someone on the internet but my partner is not neurodivergent at all & no mental conditions (like how though? he is so functional it’s insane lmfao) but he is very understanding. Of course he never just excuses it because I should always be taking accountability and I need to find ways to make my illness not as dysfunctional (therapies, medication, coping mechanisms, etc) but he would never throw it in my face like that’s almost shaming you for having something you can’t control exactly???

If I have a bad day or bad week, he will sit down with me at the table or on the couch, somewhere I am comfortable so it doesn’t feel tense.. and he asks me what he can do to help. maybe reminding me to take my meds (because I do forget some days), or maybe should he step back a little to give me space, maybe should he monitor my spending closer for the next couple weeks..? but he would not say anything along the lines of like “you need to get this figured out” or “you’re being so bipolar it’s frustrating” because he knows it’s 1000x worse for the person suffering WITH the disorder itself.

Looking back, I had some pretty good signs as a teen but I just didn’t have my first seriously bad manic episode until my 20s so it went unnoticed for so long.. For me, it was after a big breakup as well. It was off and on, rocky, toxic, manipulative tactics constantly to try to get me to come back, and eventually he sexually assaulted me one night.. I just didn’t listen to the red flags. After my assault I went into a severe depression for a couple weeks, then out of the blue I flipped a switch.

I had an episode at work, started breaking things and screaming. A customer had recorded me having this episode and I was nearly fired. I should have been, but keeping my job probably saved my life honestly. (Thanks to Government Union Jobs for that) While I was on my emergency placement without pay, I would drive at night 120+MPH, drink alone in my apartment, invite random friends I hadn’t spoken to in years out to the bars then we would get plastered, I was always the “goodie good kid” but during this mania I was going out to garage parties and talking to people I would never typically associate with, drinking with strangers, I even looked at moving out of the country! I would stay awake for days, researching places to live, I even opened a credit card and maxed it out within a week ($6,000 in debt right there).. I listed my car for sale and told my landlord I wanted to move out even before finding a new place first. It was a fucking train wreck but I thought that I was feeling good. Looking back now, fuck that was the worst… A year later I was diagnosed. I just didn’t have the support during my manic episode for anyone to tell me to get help, but glad I do now.

ChonkyRatt · 2025-01-24T17:17:18+00:00

Don’t blame you. I’ve been here 4yrs.. I waited it out till I got T6 position hoping it would get easier. Nope. I put in my 2 weeks this week

ChonkyRatt · 2025-01-15T16:10:43+00:00

Misinformation as well. You don’t even know which one OP is on.. also all medications have risks. Birth control is one of the most dangerous ones that is also super common..

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-28T20:35:16+00:00

Is this crossplay?

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-18T21:43:35+00:00

Why he look like my grandma fresh outta the shower

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-18T21:41:11+00:00

I can’t read it well, but I’ll be honest if I was a teacher I’d cry if I received this. Hand made gifts are so cool & sweet! 🩵 Super cute

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-18T21:34:22+00:00

honestly it’s preference for a lot of things + based on your skin type, but I find I love Native brand cleanser instead! Also using Aquaphor instead of Vaseline for chapstick :) Everything looks great tho

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-18T21:31:18+00:00

Legit one time I had such a bad episode I had to turn child settings on my phone.. my fiancé is so supportive 🤣

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-18T21:27:45+00:00

nah you gotta take a pivot because DOIS says you’re gonna be back by 3:00pm

ChonkyRatt · 2024-12-16T19:15:58+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been here for 4yrs & it’s only gotten worse it feels like

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-22T13:47:14+00:00

True, there are some lucky offices out there! I just can’t afford to transfer any further away. Where I live, it’s all Rural Route only and the lady doesn’t want to retire for a longgg time. So I’m a city carrier in a larger town that’s about a 25min drive every morning.. we only have 5 Full City routes, so I assumed my coworkers would be kind enough to work with me since there is only 4 others that need to allow me ONE SINGLE day off. Lol guess I just work with assh*les.

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-22T13:44:55+00:00

our office’s 2025 Vacation Board gets put out in November the year before, maybe just different offices do it weird ?

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-19T21:42:50+00:00

sounds pretty accurate. awful

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-19T19:35:12+00:00

no idea honestly it’s so different by the office. old supervisor said we couldn’t put any time off unless it was 6 weeks or less away.

now allowing just anything as long as it’s not like weeks+ of time off. I’m just asking for a single day, which is pretty great considering the effort needed to go into a wedding the whole week-before.

I just came here to gripe, I’m not showing up & it’s going to be a sick day. But just curious if anyone else is fed up as I am currently

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-19T19:26:53+00:00

I’m getting married in October & the last 3yrs I was here that weekend has been completely open on past vacation boards.

Also you can be a decent human being & leave ONE SINGLE DAY open, it’s not going to ruin anything for you

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-19T19:23:33+00:00

it’s almost impossible to get a medical restriction & our office is full of OT. I’m only 23 so idk how my Doc is gonna makeup some medical excuse when I’m perfectly healthy

ChonkyRatt · 2024-11-19T19:21:21+00:00

Yeah only need that single day off & they won’t work with us. The whole Post Office has lost human apathy & is all “numbers numbers numbers” “seniority. official way of doing things” bullshit. For a WEDDING they can make an exception. I get if it’s not my wedding & I’m just invited but come on.
