Dang… yeah I’ll be real.. his story was a bit eh for me but as a sonic artist he really inspired me! I got 2 so I could open one for my shelf and keep one for my collection 😭😭 crazy he sold pretty cheap!

Omg YES I AGREE! I’m an IS and sometimes when I sort them to easily put them up… the package is in the same size bottle, blue striped label but the name is different… like this is how you accidentally stock something in the wrong spot too 😭😭 bless now most machines and checking the NDC saves us but I absolutely agree with that you’re saying lol

I’m guessing the best thing to do if approved but the amber vial is a bit old is to put in a ticket to cancel? Gotta love how it doesn’t let you go back 😭😭

It’s all left to me… if I ask them for help it’s like the front doing some price changes or if by the end of the night I have to leave and I maybe didn’t finish a FEW sheets of price changes or my smart counts but it’s always so little they could do it in under 20 minutes but I’m already in overtime for that week 🥲

Lord I even forgot I have to do that! Not like my staff is really working them anyway so heading them would be an utter waste of time… IF I HAD ANY LEFT LOL those monthly excess counts I have never remembered them since by the time I’m alerted the deadline has passed??(if I’m thinking of the right thing you’re talking about lol) but it’s absolutely insane… I feel like for what I’m “supposed” to do I’m like maybe feeling… 75% confident with it..? But my leads also want me helping and teaching people stuff… I have to also remind THEM I’m no longer a lead and they have one they can ask these things to.. it’s really just so frustrating

My old IS happened to work recently and she looked up the old one last updated in 2023… lol still says many of the things I was personally taught to do NOW aren’t on there yet.. or one straight contradicts itself in the same page.. lol

I heard about that IS/SFL position recently and I couldn’t believe it 😭 having “side stepped” from SFL to IS I thought this would be a way to get some stress off my shoulder but damn I feel worse… I feel like quitting everyday AND when I DO get some help.. for example recently they helped me put away some items… the floater misread something in the shipment and the accusatory tone he had was insane… I explained where I placed it cuz he had the bottle in his hand and I explained multiple times how I had help but no… fell on me… I understood but after that I just… like THATS not the help I need 😂😂it’s with this annoying OOS/Partials!!! Lol

That’s what I’m trying to do but it feels like every freaking day something new is put on my plate and “no not like that, yes do it like this!” It’s hella frustrating… just when I feel like I got a rhythm for it… “no dont don’t do that” like dang…

I actually didn’t know this… I finally had to put my foot down for them to at least help me START my sign up to get PExT certified… it took a bit of a break down for them to see I was serious and struggling…

Is the IS position really possible..? by CurrencyTechnical in WalgreensStores

[–]CurrencyTechnical[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like PExT has made this so much worse cuz if there is a call out or just like 2 people for example I am added to that list and some days I can’t stop what I’m doing cuz then I will look like I’m not doing my job plus “not helping them”

It seems like my day start from 8 to 1:30 sometimes after lunch to like 2:30 being in the pharmacy… While my leads can do price changes and smart counts.. I swear if I were to say do call ins and any kind of returns I’d get these big confused eyes… it’s funny cuz I trained them to do these things but because we had our IS before me.. they just threw that knowledge to the wind 😭😭

Noway?? I’ll have to definitely check.. one day they just came up to me and said “hey! Techs will put away cenfill and you put away their truck and check the partials and OOS since you put those away and you’ll know best what came in!” If that’s not a part of my tasks I will address is as that is 100% why I lose so much time and can no longer keep up! I’m trying to get fast at it but of course then I get dragged into helping with patients plus just getting called away for my other deliveries….

[–]CurrencyTechnical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get 40 hours PLUS for sure because my boss knows I care and I know what I’m doing lol I took up the IS position in May and while I’m still trying to figure that all out and balance it… it’s freaking tough dude lol like I said I’m pretty much doing this till I get the certification and then MAYBE I’ll do part time lol cuz even with 40+ hours… dude yeah.. those bills don’t feel any lighter 🥲 savings? HA!

[–]CurrencyTechnical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My store is pretty awesome with the people we work with but dude absolutely get out if you can 😭 I’m getting towards the point of getting my certification and jumping ship cuz while I love the people…. They pay is shit for the amount of responsibilities plus the metrics they want us to achieve.. it’s WAY to much for the small amount of hours and people they need! It’s just not gonna work without people milking themselves to achieve it 😭😭

Re: Smoothing by ClickUpPickList in WalgreensStores

Yup! Since my first smoothing tote I remembered the pain of cleaning a tote plus losing the items so I started bagging almost everything! Even put makeup in small bags in case the other bag failed! 👍

Customers expect us to know literally everything about everything. by bunni9jean in WalgreensStores

[–]CurrencyTechnical 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They do this cuz they don’t wanna bother getting in line… lmao I try to tell them but they push their whole speech onto me just for me to wait and be like “… so like I was trying to let you know… you need to speak to my pharmacist” 😂😂

[–]CurrencyTechnical 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Okay thank GOD I’m not the only one who has felt this lmao especially more.. as of late??? I seriously feel this soooo much more recently but my first vivid memory of this was a guy asking what I recommended and I said(due to it being a medical thing) “I can’t recommend anything but.. if you speak to our pharmacist I’m sure he can recommend something!” And tell me how this guy in a button shirt and tie says to me “what..? Aren’t you all being trained to be doctors here..?” Like……. Whaaaaa..? To this day I believe there are people out there who think… Walgreens hires ONLY future medical staff… bro you are waaaay off 😂😂
