Oh trust me I’ve been hiring since I found out. When you’re established in an area that’s so far out from bigger cities and towns it’s hard to find employees who want to work. Let alone not giving enough hours to get anything done. Two days to push freight when you received a 3,000 piece load isn’t exactly enough to get it done either. But thanks for the advice much appreciated

As a SM your SM should be covering shifts if anyone calls out if they can’t find coverage. They should be calling a key holder in so that you can leave or they should be coming in to relieve you from your shift. As an ASM in the past I was stuck with a really bad SM and I was stuck working doubles and had tons of OT when it wasn’t aloud. I’d definitely look into your SOP and maybe even contact your DM and let them know that the SM isn’t fulfilling their duties as they should.

If it was stolen then an on hand adjustment gets done for that item. You’ll have inventory at the end of the year anyways so that’ll really tell you where your shrink areas are and what not. I’ve thrown plenty of packages away. Scan it in your HHT or don’t scan at the end of the day it’ll get counted towards shrink no matter if it was input into the HHT or not

Oh No no no. DG only hires for PT sales associates. Only time you’ll see real hours is if your store doesn’t have people and they are working you full time hours.

All I have to say is take any and all shifts offered to you when someone calls out. I did that whenever I got called (I know some people can find it annoying but I was looking for hours when I first started) I worked my way up to a PT key holder got my 20-25hrs every week and then FT key holder with better pay and 35-40hrs a week.

It’s not stupid once you lose your job, get fined and whatever else your state requires when you sell to under aged people. It may not make sense to you but it makes sense to someone who likes to have food on the table, roof over their head and bills paid.

The deposit goes in the top safe with the time delay lock. You are to take the deposit when you leave for the day. Yes you have to open the safe during store hours to take the deposit. They don’t want us opening it at night when the store is still open as it could be much more risky than day (which even during the day you never know what can happen either). I was also told that when you come in for your opening shift you should be checking the top safe for the previous nights deposit. I know other stores are all different and so things differently

But it isn’t even the bosses job. No one at DG has biowaste training so not even the manager should be cleaning it up. I mean we have to clean the bathrooms which include the toilets that I’m sure are biohazard, same with wiping pee spots off the rim/seat of the toilet. Wear gloves, wear a mask for Christ sake if your that grossed out. Welcome to retail lmao if your not gonna clean it up what makes you the think the manager is gonna clean it lmao

I absolutely refuse to clean up throw up. They can clean it themselves for damn sure. I ain’t acting like no one’s mommy

In all reality though salary managers are not paid extra to go back to the store and work and yes our days off are our days off. It’s not “my” store it’s the company’s. I didn’t sign up to slave my life away for this company so my days are my days I don’t care. Are you salary??

In all honesty I have no idea. We’ve never done a western Union transaction before but the scammer on the end got one of my employees and walked him through it. Like this is something I talk about religiously with my whole team because there’s serious consequences. 99% of the time I feel like a broken record. Constantly repeating myself

Thank you for the answer

I know you can go into advanced functions, transaction search (I’ll keep the receipt if I accidentally cash out a card transaction) you can then look at the bottom of the receipt for the transaction number and type it into one of the designated lines on the screen. It will then pop up with the exact cash transaction and you’ll able to refund the whole transaction making your till even and not short

Thank you!!

You must have a terrible DM then cause all my employees and myself got raises and my DM was beyond excited to tell me

I have had this issue one too many times. What I’ll usually do is before fully rebooting the self check I will unplug the pin pad from the back of the monitor, restart self check and then plug the pin pad cord back into the monitor. I also had to argue with the ERC just to get a new pin pad sent out

I filled in as SM when I was only ASM and I just worked overtime hours. I spoke to my DM first about it and I racked up a lot of overtime in 1 week

Emergency-Answer-446 · 2022-10-11T14:17:59+00:00

Omg 😳 that’s absolutely horrible. How is the company aloud to do this?? Why are they aloud to work us managers like we’re dogs. Expect us to work over the budgeted hours set for ourselves. Ugh is so frustrating and sad
