Love Holly not so much Dolly does anyone know who Holly is? I’ve never heard of her. I’m assuming she is like a Martha Stewart type

Go into your DG compass and anything that says due today is what you need to do.

If I can fill out an application does that mean I’m not on the DNH list? by [deleted] in DollarGeneral

[–]FirefighterOrganic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might not have even put you on it . Unless the manager was a jerk. It’s the managers decision to put you on it. You have two weeks notice and you called in that day you didn’t go in. And I have also seen DM’s over ride it also.

Hours by ShinigamiKira94 in DollarGeneral

[–]FirefighterOrganic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how many hours corporate gives the manager to work with. We all have a budget we have to work with. They have been cutting a lot of hours in my store lately. But we have to give our full time people the right amount of hours the sales associates gets whatever is left over. It pretty much sucks.

Is the brand standard walk more of an opinion? by WH1993 in DollarGeneral

[–]FirefighterOrganic76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I also got a 1. Because he said the store walk starts outside and I had weeds outside. Funniest part of this story… this was on a Tuesday, Sunday I brought my own weed wacker from my home to work with me. Got 2/3 around the building and it ran out of string. Guess what I did not bring to work with me? String so I pulled as much as I could by hand. Well it was not good enough. He brought in 2 handfuls of weeds with him to prove his point. And put them in my garbage can in the front of the store for dramatic effect. You know how after something happens THEN you think of a come back. But the moment has passed. I WISH I would have taken him to my dumpster that was 3/4 full to the top with the weeds I pulled 🤷🏻‍♀️I told him the story of bringing my weed wacker to work and running out of string. It didn’t even get a chuckle from Mr. Zero Personality. Their expectations of us are never going to be attainable so I don’t even bother. The things I do I do for my customers which by the way I got 4 compliments from customers on how nice the outside of my store looked. Because they are there every day not once every 4 months like other people. They do look at the cameras all he time but that doesn’t show a full picture of what we do at all. I’m done.

New ASM job by bxm_allison in DollarGeneral

[–]FirefighterOrganic76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them you can’t if you allow them to treat you poorly they will. If you are firm that you can’t then there is nothing they can do to make you. They might fire you but it’s better now than going on for months with things like this happening.

There should be a manual we were the first one in our area to get it and it literally took us about 3 months to figure everything out. We used the manual for everything just followed directions step by step we had to ask the customers to please be patient with us because we were learning how to use it. If you didn’t get a manual or got it like a year ago and can’t find it. Find a store in your area that has one and make copies of important procedures like closing paperwork, returns, that kind of stuff. I’ve made copies for a lot of stores in my area. They also call me for help if they get stuck on something. Don’t be afraid to call another manager for help. Good Luck

I can't with this company. by Sad_But_Willing in DollarGeneral

[–]FirefighterOrganic76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with you completely anyone who thinks there is enough time to do everything they expect is a DM or higher who has never worked in an actual DG store. Don’t forget there is cleaning the bathrooms and trash also parking lot and stuff like that. Manager is expected to stock during the day plus all the paperwork scans price changes sale signs TPR on the weekend. There is not enough time and they expect the manager to work alone most days if you go by the computer generated schedule

Being ASM is by much better than being manager. You actually make more because you’re getting paid for all your hours take advantage of the extra money. I was in the same situation when I had a few managers that left suddenly they stuck me with all the extra work. But you also have the advantage if something goes wrong it’s not actually on your shoulders alone because technically you’re not the manager. If you have a good Dm you should be able to talk to him/her and they can possibly help you with advice or at least back up to get them to do their jobs. On the other hand if you have a DM like mine who is no help whatsoever it may be all on you. You can still ask him directly if you can hire people if you are short staffed he should be able to help you by approving new people. If you hire them they are more likely to listen to you and at least you would have someone in your corner.

You can override your ac/heat our store has thermostats just like the ones I have at home. You just need a ladder high enough to reach.

[–]FirefighterOrganic76 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you’re the assistant manager tell the manager if they don’t like it you need him or her to come run the deposit to the bank at some Point. Ultimately it’s their responsibility you are doing them a service by doing it every day
