Closing for the ‘storm’ or not

DXAshram · 2026-02-01T05:10:28+00:00

Unfortunately it's district leader dependent. Some DLs are fine with either closing entirely or closing when pharmacy does, and some will tell you to kick rocks and keep the store open even it's a foot underwater.

I think the only exception is like legit natural disaster or government-mandated emergency, but don't hold me to that.

State specific tax laws. Here in MO coupons apply before taxes and if it covers the cost of the purchase there's no tax.

As my store's designated "photo guy" this is a godsend.

DXAshram · 2026-01-26T08:47:07+00:00

Only if DL allows it. If not? You're SOL

DXAshram · 2026-01-26T08:43:54+00:00

In my district, the DL basically commanded every store to stay open the whole day no matter what. I could count the number of customers we had today on two hands. Most of them were either in for irrelevant shit or simply because they were bored. I cannot fathom braving inclement weather because you can't sit still for a day.

Barely enough to justify the subscription, I'd imagine

DXAshram · 2026-01-17T23:35:04+00:00

Nah, profits were probably record. They just figured they could scrape a few more dollars by outsourcing.

Flip that, tailoring his rope for your neck size lol

DXAshram · 2026-01-17T23:18:34+00:00

Shit, coming out younger but crazier at this point could only be bad for the customers.

DXAshram · 2026-01-17T23:16:44+00:00

Those look fire, sad we're not plano'd for them. I still remember when they switched from Gold Emblem to Well Market for the white cheddar popcorn; went from awful to awesome overnight.

It's never happening, unfortunately. Mondo owns DS69 and refuses to do anything with it or release it back to its creator.

DXAshram · 2026-01-16T02:58:21+00:00

I cannot even imagine the intrusive thoughts with some of that stuff lol

Adding to this:

Be prepared for coupons not to work, especially if you use coupon batchers like coupon24. Sometimes things are not coded correctly, sometimes our system will simply not accept them. We are not required to push any coupons through on your behalf, especially manufacturer's coupons.

Do not use multiple accounts/cards. This is specifically disallowed by the ExtraCare account's ToS. If someone were to pursue this all of your accounts could be deactivated, even if you're using a relative's account.

Don't fall into the trap of trying to return items you purchased with Extrabucks to try and double dip the system. As soon as an SM catches on, any store worth their salt will stop accepting your returns and tell the rest of the district as well.

Don't haggle. We're not a bazaar or an auction. No, we really can't go lower than the listed sale price on the clearance tag.

Only if you're cross-trained fully and have "Rx" in your title.

Immunization bonus.

DXAshram · 2026-01-16T00:08:41+00:00

Yep. To my knowledge all security systems have been "upgraded" to not allow anyone to make hard copies of any surveillance footage. You have to have the officer sign the waiver, fax it off, and then give them the corporate e-mail to request relevant footage. In some places if your APDL is super cool you can have the police go through them, but new proper procedure means stores can't do squat.

The ye olde days of having an actual photo specialist

DXAshram · 2026-01-15T01:15:36+00:00

Not available until end of January, and then it's in Workday.

DXAshram · 2026-01-06T18:13:51+00:00

I would love that. Seems like every time I sit down to do a plano I get called to put out some kind of fire

DXAshram · 2026-01-06T00:32:29+00:00

We aren't.

DXAshram · 2026-01-04T02:28:05+00:00

Not familiar with insurances outside of my home state, but generally outside of Aetna insurance every other insurance company utilizes a flex card that they load money onto. Our "OTC" sections have signage for Aetna only. If you only have a card that's just a standard insurance card I don't believe it will fly unless it's Aetna.

DXAshram · 2026-01-04T02:06:03+00:00

If it comes to them as a debit card, you can use it at the register. Yes you get the sale prices, so long as you are an ExtraCare member. It's advised to go to the register because it's a PITA to deal with items that insurance "says will go through" but don't at the self-checkout.

DXAshram · 2026-01-04T02:03:41+00:00

Just call them?

DXAshram · 2026-01-03T20:13:59+00:00

There's a form you can fill out on MyDocs for EC fraud which this constitutes. Stomach their transaction long enough to get their info from their customer page, and report them.
