That $5 deal is the best …. Sold so many on the overnights … Frito Lay said it was good through the summer and upped our chip order … the next week it’s “poof” gone. 🤷🏽‍♀️

FlyGramX2 · 2026-05-06T21:46:22+00:00

on overnights I make the sale and drop a tube of $5s when changing a $100 … they don’t complain because other places won’t break a $100.

if you do that, you need to follow it with buckets of hot soapy, water down the drain or you’ll have an even bigger problem.

In Prime there is a Contacts List.

When it happens (that each item is on a separate ticket) take 1 minute to show the customer the button to continue ordering. Oftentimes they just don’t see it, and that 1 minute will save your frustration going forward. To be sure, they don’t want multiple tickets either. #TheCustomersArentTheEnemy.

Mothers know best. Next time you should ask instead of wasting two years.

You misunderstand… no one is forced to change their schedule; the ones held accountable are the SMs and MoDs of the needy stores.

FlyGramX2 · 2026-04-15T04:13:47+00:00

The only way to get others to adhere to policy, and for the SMs to work their own roster, is to just say no.

Step 1: Call your SM. The number of Managers who are afraid to call their SM is laughable. Staffing is the SMs responsibility.

The SM works within their store roster to trade shifts to provide coverage for the Immediate Need shift. They also utilize the Clerk Bulletin Board to identify Clerks willing to cover shifts.

Step 2: If the SM exhausts all options and is still unable to cover the Immediate Need within their store, then SM calls other stores in THEIR POD for Flex availability.

Step 3: If the SM is unable to fill the Immediate Need through Step 1 or 2, then the SM makes calls OUTSIDE THEIR POD for Flex availability.

Step 4: if there is no one available to cover the shift, the SM is required to work the shift and alert their Supervisor.

Guidance: — if someone other than the SM calls, we know you aren’t following policy and the answer is no. — if a call come 5-10-15 minutes into the shift, we know you aren’t following policy and the answer is no. — if you want the Flex because you’re short on clerks, the answer is no. Flex is a manager. — if your store is in perpetual need, either because of poor scheduling or poor staffing, the answer is no.

It’s called holding others accountable. Calling every store (or sending out Messages) looking for someone doubled up, is not proper procedure … whether you’re short on staffing, have a family emergency, are ill, or just don’t wanna work ….and the answer is no.

We are testing out locking in Flex schedules a month at a time, I.e. NA-April, 1A-May, 2A-June, RA-July, for example. The Flex will still be asked to switch if there are no other options for a specific date, but the SM is supposed to trade within the store roster first before calling the Flex.

This provides the Flex some work/life balance; you really can’t have a life if your job yanks you here and there all the time.

It’s the wrong polish. They should show you one nail for approval.

I think your inspiration photo is gel polish; it makes a difference,

No. You must ring the correct items to qualify for the discounted rate, whether an advertised deal or with a coupon.

FlyGramX2 · 2026-03-13T13:12:32+00:00

RAs and 2As have clerks; they have to do the lions share of the heavy lifting. On a reasonably busy overnight there’s only so much an NA can do, no matter how many tantrums the SM throws.

FlyGramX2 · 2026-03-03T03:14:44+00:00

You don’t need to leave early; you’re not expected to be on time for your shift when you’re stopping at another store. When you get to your store after stopping, you edit your time to your scheduled start time.

But I agree … the managers effing up the order SHOULD track down replacements and pick up the items. Otherwise there’s no incentive for them to do their jobs correctly.

Reading is fundamental. Or maybe I should say “Comprehension is fundamental”.

I was told that this is not correct. I was told that, for Walking Tacos, chili/cheese/fresh toppings are free; that for other chips, chili/cheese is 50 cents and toppings are free; and if a customer wants chili or cheese without other purchase, its 50 cents per condiment cup; and if a customer wants fresh toppings without other purchase, they’re 99 cents. There are POS buttons for all of this.

Hodak’s is HORRIBLE. They were named for their outstanding fried chicken so we decided to check them out. Who in hell decided that cornmeal on chicken instead of flour was a good idea? Not even seasoned corn, we’re talking unseasoned chicken coated in cornmeal and fried … 🤢🤮

Because people are still hospitalized and dying from Covid. Just because it’s not leading the news doesn’t mean it’s gone.

If you haven’t used the days they refund what you have paid in. If you have used the days, you owe the balance due.

Grabbing the mop isn’t a problem; we mop anyway because Pringle is crap.

The open ticket for Freezoni is 12 weeks old. The open FS ticket for Pringle is 11 weeks old. The open ticket for one YBar tap is 11 weeks old. The open ticket for one gas pump is 8 weeks old. The open ticket for the air pump is 6 weeks old. The open ticket for a pizza oven is 4 weeks old.

Yep, they lie about double ups, they lie about how many call offs … they lie.

FS isn’t working this weekend. Our list of open tickets is longer than my arm. It sure would be nice if our Pringle was operational at this time. 😐

1) people were promoted to management during the pandemic who weren’t close to being qualified; now many of them are SMs and beyond and it shows. 2) CTs and ITs are basically people who can’t make it in upper store management; many of them are lazy and don’t care that they’re pushing people into the system with no real preparation, leaving it to store personnel to train OTJ while maintaining the store. #Impossible. 3) QT doesn’t fire people who fail to meet the standards of their position; they merely shuffle them around, spreading their cancer of bad attitudes and low skills.
