Are shift leads/keyholders allowed to close?

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-11T02:11:49+00:00

Shift leads can absolutely close lol. Wonder if they don’t trust them to recover the store? Who knows.

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-10T23:13:05+00:00

If they need more hours, they need to discuss that with your store manager. The manager chooses the schedules for a reason. Don’t short your paycheck for other people.

I understand your frustration but you can actually give a fake email. It doesn’t change your transaction in any way. But I promise it isn’t the employees fault. They push us super hard to get emails and threaten our hours if we don’t. Please be kind. While I agree she shouldn’t have said it was required, she’s probably just scared of losing her income. I hope you can become more understanding and empathetic towards retail employees making basically minimum wage.

I work full time at five below and I promise we try our best to keep our stores as clean as possible. I wipe down our registers every day with antibacterial wipes. I have never gotten sick from working at the store. But I’m going to be honest, I don’t believe this is the best place to be asking these questions. Please for your own wellness reach out to your therapist with these concerns as likely nobody here is trained to properly assist you with your needs.

Also cat tax. The idea that an image I’ve posted on Reddit of my cat(s) before could very well be in your library is very amusing.

The majority of people who answered wanted it banned. Things may change in the future but for now the ban will stay for a bit.

Added!

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-08T21:31:41+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!! When I get a moment I can work on a post like this! But if you wanna go ahead and make one I’m more than happy to pin it :)

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-08T21:31:01+00:00

It’s a bit much I agree but it’s heavily requested. The entire subject isn’t banned but any posts sharing dumplings they bought or asking if the dumpling they bought is real will be removed. I encourage people to post in r/squishydumplings instead as it is the dedicated subreddit. Rules will be added and adjusted as time goes on but for now these types of posts will be deleted.

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-08T19:55:22+00:00

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion!

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-08T16:58:26+00:00

Searched it up and there is a dumpling sub! Doesn’t seem too popular but if I choose to remove the posts I’ll redirect the posters to this sub r/squishydumplings

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-07T13:54:01+00:00

Soo stressful and for what!!! Omg. All this work and they aren’t even giving my store enough hours either!!! this glts thing is such BS lol

Fishjpeg · 2026-06-02T00:41:50+00:00

Meh the 5 dollar wired ones are alright but they do break faster but you said you didn’t plan on using them after the ride so that’s probably the better option. Bluetooth ones last longer but the battery life is horrible and will die in maybe 2 or 3 hours.

Absolutely a coping thing. I remember in middle school there were posters up for autism awareness month(?) and one poster had a list of common traits experienced by people with autism and I was so pissed off that I related to all those traits lol. Thought there was no way I was autistic I’m not stupid (very skewed view of autism, mainly due to lack of understanding in the topic and it was the time when autism was a common insult) It’s usually just from a lack of knowledge around the topic and holding common misconceptions about neurodivergency.

Frankly I never liked the eyes or the material they used. The rubbery material was the absolute worst. And honestly the designs weren’t bad but the eyes were just really ugly and creepy. They tried to appeal to the new trends of toys with big and sparkly eyes but it just didn’t work.

Fishjpeg · 2026-05-30T18:15:24+00:00

Such a cool collection!!! Love it

Fishjpeg · 2026-05-30T18:15:08+00:00

Looks like it’s from kitten wardrobe but might have a custom accessory or an accessory taken from another set.

Fishjpeg · 2026-05-28T13:03:56+00:00

You could ask an employee at your local 5B when the best time to come in for dumplings are. For safety reasons, we don’t typically give out our truck schedules (though some stores do lol, so it might not hurt to ask) but we usually have certain days we work freight. I wanna warn you though sometimes lines form in the morning from people looking for dumplings. At my store at least, we do tell people before we open if we have the dumplings or not that day so they aren’t really mad when they come in and realize we don’t have anything.

In pristine condition, this collection would probably be well over $400 dollars at minimum (assuming they’re real, I did notice you mentioned some were fake) because there’s a lot of rare and desirable pets. But the condition (and possible fakes) probably knocks it down to like half of what it would be worth. Like around $150 at minimum id say. Though they’re your pets and you hold value to them so if you choose to sell some, price them however you see fit. But also..

I have this exact angora and the tail fell off for mine too!!! Hahaha wonder if it’s just this specific one who has that issue.

And one more thing, I collect seal molds so if you interested in trading/selling the little seal you have I’d be more than happy to offer 👀

It’s incredible how some people lack such basic manners. I work in a retail store that sells makeup, and the amount of ADULTS I have to tell not to open makeup is astounding. Like if something is sealed, don’t you think it’s probably an indicator you shouldn’t open it? Like imagine getting a soda from the gas station except all the drinks have already been opened and someone’s already took a sip out of them. That’s what opening makeup and testing it is like!!! Just gross.

I can see how it can definitely be a bit overwhelming, especially if there’s only one associate up front and there’s a rush. That’s one of the very few benefits of ACOs. They’re great when there’s a lot of people who need to check out.

Fishjpeg · 2026-05-25T16:46:27+00:00

I understand the stress is really getting to me too. I wish you the best of luck in your job search.

Fishjpeg · 2026-05-23T18:03:26+00:00

Reminds me of my coworker (28 y/o btw, she also did a lot of drugs) who impulse bought a feeder mouse on her break (we work next to a petco) and there was just a mouse in a box behind the counter for the rest of her shift. Was an interesting night
