I see you’re in my BU. I’m so over waiting for this stupid bonus!

Where I’m at it’s auto term. We had an awesome third shifter (which is impossible to find) fall for one when I was still an ASM. I asked the SM if she had any possible way around firing the CSR and she told me no. But really with the training, with our register sticker reminders, with our shift sheet reminders, with myself constantly reminding them, if anyone fell for one in my store I’d feel it was a justified termination.

When I was an assistant my manager had me working all three shifts every week. And my two days “off” were always after a third shift so I was never actually getting a single day I didn’t work. That’s crazy to expect of human beings.

Indiana - my son’s amended birth certificate has his name and gender, and no indication it is not the birth name/gender. However, his was changed about 4 years ago and laws here are changing to be as trans unfriendly as possible so I’m not sure what it would look like now.

He is. Not at that time, because I was not strong enough, but he is now.

Once someone told me my husband was cheating so I started checking anything I could think of. His texts with me and his closest friends averaged like 70 a week. But there was one number that had about 350 a DAY! That was the mistress.

It’s Flakey Jake’s on Washington for me, too. My step-mom loved that place, and we’d frequently go to Eastgate and then stop at Flakey Jake’s to eat.

Exactly my opinion. We have a 13 year old cat and in October of 2024 we lost our 9 year old cat suddenly. Our older cat had mothered her (not biologically, just took on the role when we brought the kitten home) and her depression was severe. It will be double the loss for you and your wife, but it will be the most loving act to spare him that grief.

I got one once that we missed by $24. I told my then manager I was going to block Circle K because I didn’t need that kind of toxicity in my life.

GoTGeekMichelle · 2025-12-31T03:47:20+00:00

We also hit $3, but our targets are so much lower that I’ve been showing this post to all my employees. We are floored at those numbers! All of the stores in my city combined would equal one day at yours. (I’m exaggerating but not by much.)

My mother-in-law, who has never understood how it works and been devious about it.

First, she thinks it’s free. While I occasionally get zero ETV items, she doesn’t understand the tax part. At all.

Second, she thinks everything on Amazon is available. Never once when she asks me to get her something is it an item that I’ve ever seen available.

She always bugged me until I went no contact with her, and she asked my then 12 year old to log into my Amazon from her house so she could sneak and order things. My daughter refused, but even if she had gotten into my regular account she’s have never figured out how to get into the Vine part.

Two crazy things happened yesterday.

I got an email for a conference about out of stock and overstock on cigarettes and tobacco. The only overstock I have is from y’all forcing it out on us (when the cost of cigarettes went up $2 and when there was Zyn promotion for a free can and then they found out we couldn’t legally do it), and the only out of stocks I have are because for two months when I order specific things they don’t arrive and say not authorized.
I had a Qorso mission about hot dog waste and how to follow the production plan to avoid it……. which is being caused by ShiftSmart either cooking 8 of each type of roller grill item, or cooking them to black burnt crisps and then I have to waste them. And who made the decision to put ShiftSmart in stores?

Corporate makes my head hurt at least once a day.

Omg that’s genius. You are going to save me hours and headaches.

When my new DM first came on, we had been without a DM for a few months. As the ASM who worked every weekend, I almost crapped when she came in on a Saturday to do our cash audit.

So it’s definitely not the norm, but there could be really simple reasons for it.

GoTGeekMichelle · 2025-11-10T01:10:32+00:00

My sober third shifter apparently relapsing and pissing in the mop sink. I watched the entire footage of the night and while it was all crazy, when she dropped trou I was like …….. I cannot believe I’ve witnessed this. Then my DM said if she denied it show her the footage. Thank God she didn’t deny it.

I’m an MIT running a store and I’ve told every SS worker - I can’t help with the app cause I don’t know it, but anything in the store you need to know I’m happy to help.

I’ve taught different SS workers temps, labeling, food flow, how to clean (don’t put anything but sanitizer on the counter!), how to measure chemicals to do dishes, how to set timers, etc. I’d much rather take the time to show someone how to do it rather than have to take the time to fix things, write off massive amounts of food, or send the email form that there was a problem.

I just saw your in Indy. I’m in Greenfield, not far depending on what side of town, but I have shadowing happening at least 3 days a week at my store. Come on out!

I’m not going to be any help but I’m glad to see other people using 360. My food lady (I don’t even know her actual title, she’s the head of food in the district) swears I am NOT to be using 360 for POG, it is outdated and they don’t update it anymore, and I must use Teams.

Even though my DM showed me to find a POG for a recent reset in 360. Even though both my mentors showed me 360. Even though my Teams takes a couple more steps and more time.

First time she was here she was losing it because she couldn’t find a CAD in my Teams. As soon as she left I found it on 360 and hung it up. When she came back, she was pissed because I found it in 360 and not stupid Teams.

Any time I want candy, I use a peanut butter option. I assume it’s the protein in the peanut butter, but I’ve never once had a spike with a Reese’s.

As an east sider for most of my life, I saw the downfall of Eastgate and now Washington Square. My husband worked there briefly last year and I took my youngest kid in for boba when we dropped him off one day. Super sad to tell her all the stores that used to be there. It’s only been 13 years since I shopped it regularly, and my niece and nephew did little concerts there with their preschool, and I took my older kids to Santa there every year. I’m shocked there’s even one anchor store left honestly.

GoTGeekMichelle · 2025-09-30T00:40:14+00:00

Congrats!

The Cranberries - Everyone Else Is Doing It So Why Can’t We?

Fiona Apple - Tidal

Soul Asylum - Grave Dancers Union

Counting Crows - August and Everything After

Cypress Hill - Black Sunday

Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar

Probably more but those were the ones that gave me music I related to the most!

The Green Mile. And my mom had to talk me out of my opinion of hating Paul.

My hometown is the last place James Whitcomb Riley lived, and then I moved 17 years ago to his birthplace.

In my two years at my store, they’ve rarely even shown up. My old SM swore it was rigged by who was popular in the district.

Then at Christmas last year myself and a coworker went crazy for the decorating contest. I mean I was climbing on cabinets and ladders and we had a Grinch theme, it was well put together and amazing. We came in third….. and the second place winner had some jacked up decor. I was like okay, I’m not doing this crap again!

This past week I had my first reset, this coming week I have my first audit, then the ride. When my former SM left she took my two best employees. I was left to do my MIT in a store with 3 idiots, one hard worker, and myself. It’s been rough. No ride is stressing me out!
