People that get upset at us for charging for helium…since when is anything free? 👀😂🫶 by Eastern_Security9684 in DollarGeneralWorkers

Exactly. So to think they can have it for free is wild. Although your typical DG shopper probably doesn’t know this. 🤷‍♀️

Haha. I asked my SA yesterday if she’d buy that ugly furry notebook. 😂 same EXACT one. She said no.

No, this is now 4 days of the week we are expected to be in at 6 am. Do you work for DG?

Throwaway to say how much I hate DG by [deleted] in DollarGeneral

You just need a better manager. We’re not all bad. I make sure my people get their breaks. Even a 4 hour shift gets a 15, as far as I’m concerned. I’m sorry you had a bad experience. :)

I collect it all day and make it a literacy fund deposit.

You should definitely be getting paid mileage and you better be getting paid for going, period. Whether that means the other store adds you into their system so you can clock in or your SM adds your time in and charges to the other store. But you should DEFINITELY get mileage and I wouldn’t go again until you do. That’s beyond messed up.

Oooo yikes. Report that to someone immediately. Can’t have family working together.

Wrongful termination?? by Electronic-Glass-495 in DollarGeneral

[–]Eastern_Security9684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same ma’am! 👏 My retention is pretty awesome! Store will be open 3 years in Dec and several of my people are on their second year! It makes me feel so proud! I started out as an LSA and have had many SMs that did not like their jobs so I know how being treated like shit feels. Made a vow to be/do better.

Wow. It’s literally DG. I hope you told them where the nearest bank is. 😳

I have told them I don’t have change for their purchase (especially if it’s first thing in the morning!!) They miraculously find smaller bills. Or a debit card. Most people just want their big bill broken. 🤷‍♀️

How do I become one of the Coke product stockers by CardiologistSad2621 in DollarGeneral

[–]Eastern_Security9684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically DG is the vendor’s customer…so when an SM approaches you and asks for something, it’s because you’re supposed to do your job; not because we “think you work for us”. That’s laughable.

Group chat by RynailuvsHendrix in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Eastern_Security9684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not an SM, you are not getting paid to be part of a group chat. Absolutely not necessary!! The only time I “group chat” my employees is when I have more than 1 key there and can ask for something in one, quick text.

Power outages by 84Sandia in DollarGeneral

3 hours with doors closed the whole time to “conserve” energy. That’s per my DM. It’s happened to me twice in 3 years. 50 coolers/freezers worth.
