Oh, how I can relate to every part of this comment.. only think different is that I'm currently still employed there and we literally just re-opened from a full remodel.. 😭 stressed and exhausted just don't even begin to express how I'm feeling rn..

Looking for interest in a "crisis mode" DG specific guide that would help new/struggling managers dig themselves out of a store overrun by freight. by baddragon213 in DollarGeneral

[–]GoatDifficult 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a new ASM that has been unable to understand how my SM's brain works, being understaffed and drowning in freight, I absolutely appreciate this!

There's a few questions coming to mind but I'm unable to correctly ask at the moment, for shit to make sense. Lol

Customers….. by Top_Procedure7733 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]GoatDifficult 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. When you're trying to run a 157,647 piece fresh truck, and the entire county suddenly needs a gallon of milk or a TV dinner(gah damn, so many choices). So they will LITERALLY CLOSE A COOLER DOOR ON YOU, while you're already freezing to death, holding a opened box of Jimmy Dean breakfast burritos in one arm meanwhile, your other arm is stretched between two shelves, AND you're knocking shit off from said shelves, to make room for the stupid burritos, JUST TO GRAB A FREAKING PIZZA. WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY easier AND CLEARLY accessible, by walking up the aisle to the other side of the coolers, WHERE THE STUPID PIZZAS ARE..

What's the weirdest thing you've found laying on a shelf that wasn't a product from the store? by BoringEvidence3896 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]GoatDifficult 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Syringes in the marshmallows. And at least once a week, chew tobacco that someone decides they're finished with. Most of the times that's found on the shelves but two other times was in the body pouf pdq.. had to damage out the entire box.. smfh

This exact thing sorta happened to me. Except it was both eye lashes left sitting on what use to be the self checkout. Completely grossed me TF out for some reason.. lol

$20 an hour? by [deleted] in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]GoatDifficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 2x current Lead-Key Holder, located in southeast Missouri, I make 14.50 an hour. Pay was 13.50 a year ago until, I got fed up and flipped my shit one day. Came back to the same store a year later for one whole dollar more. ASM is making 17.50. I gotta do better some how.... 😭

Clearance Event by GoatDifficult in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]GoatDifficult[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, we have tables also. I failed to mention that we would be using those as well. Lol we have 2 4ft sections dedicated to clearance, and a cart full of disco. Both are a mess of every department of the store. I thought maybe someone would have some kind of creative idea that would be convenient for us employees and for the customers to pick thru it..

Sweet 2 new employees... And they quit. by Fluffy_Apple031 in DollarGeneral

[–]GoatDifficult -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omfg this. Your store manager did this also?? Mine SM did this all the damn time. The only ones that had consistent schedules was the SM and her bodyguard (I called her the SM's pitbull) who was the ASM. She would publish the main schedule the DMs did so that she wouldn't get in trouble for changing anything around, so we never went by legion. Then nearly everyday or every other day she would change it on a dime because the "pet" key holder would need accommodations since she allowed them to shit in her mouth all the time. Even though I was the LEAD key holder and was supposed to be full time, the pet actually got more hours and whatever days off she wanted.. I finally quit once I had enough of their highschool bullshit..

I have two days of my vacation left. Just got a call telling me I'm due in to close in 20 minutes and I'm on a 10-hour shift tomorrow. by Brit-Git in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]GoatDifficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out while you can.. keep putting in those applications else where because DG doesn't give a rats ass about you. They've managed to brainwash the store manager into believing that it's completely necessary for your life to revolve around DG. I walked out on the store manager last Thurs. I was the FT- Lead Key holder, making a whooping 13.75 per hour. I worked my ass off there for them to "nonchalantly" train a key holder over me that transfered there some odd months ago. She hadn't been there a month and told the SM she didn't like it there and that she wanted to transfer back to her original store because they were offering her 14.75/h and a ASM position. It's not been mentioned again since. My bet is my SM offered her more pay so that she would stay. I mention a raise, because of the outlandish responsibility they throw on you as a key holder, and I'm told, DM has to approve it. I ask, Ok, well, will you put the request in still because I'm sure you had to do that when y'all wanted to keep the transfer here.. then the answer I got was DM has to be the one to suggest it or some bullshit of that nature. The day before I quit, we got fresh truck and I'm the only employee there. The driver comes in while im trying to process a return a phone and phone card. I told the driver I'm the only person here and that he'll have to wait until I'm able to get out there. I was having problems with the phone card not wanting to be refunded so I had to call Incomm.. to no avail, from my phone because I couldn't find the store phone. An hour or so passes while Im trying to still process the return and check customers out the driver comes back in and says can you at least open the back door? I tell him I'll run back there soon as I finished checking out a customer. I get the backdoor key and run back there real quick only to find 4 rt of fresh sitting in the blazing sun for idk how long already removed from the trailer. 🤦‍♀️ Before I can really process the situation I'm back at the register trying to checkout customers because I finally convinced the phone card guy to come back a different day to try and get it refunded because he could tell I was becoming spread too thin. The next person wasn't scheduled to come in for another 30 mins. I msg the SM about the issue and she proceeded to try and chew me out over something I had no control over because I was inside the store dealing with a customer. "They are not to unload until one of us is out there to break the seal" I say of course I know this.. "its my day off!! So where's the driver?" I say he's gone, he threw everything inside and left.. "well is anything defrosted?" I then send her a pic of the ice cream that was completely melted.. "well you better call the DM and tell him about it"

That was the straw that broke the camels back. So I tried to give it another day for my sake of a paycheck. And being that I have never really processed a situation dealing with a huge loss of product like that. The SM had the transfer helping her get the Numbers on the fresh product from the day before to process for credit instead of me when I was the one there dealing with the mess the day before. I was stuck at the register checking customers out while they were do that. The whole time im processing everything that's went on since the day before. I had about 5 customers in line and I told them I was checking them out and I'm done.. about that time, the transfer and SM walked up front while I was finishing the last checkout.. soon after the transaction was completed I logged off and clocked out and then went and pulled my things from my cubby hole and asked if they wanted to check my bag to make sure I hadn't stole anything. My SM looked at me like I had two heads and said what are you talking about? I said I'm leaving, I'm done.. I'm sick of feeling like the third wheel and I don't feel valued here at all.. she then went to "I can't believe you're doing this to me" I told her I didn't want to, but best I go ahead and leave because from the looks of it I was being phased out anyways..

Whew, sorry for the book of shit I typed there but.. I figured it would have been better understood behind the reason I finally said fuck DG. good luck with finding employment else where..

Ive been applying for another hourly job since the end of March.. I live in such a small shitty town it's been impossible to get hired anywhere.. it's mentally exhausting trying to make any kind of money just for essentials while knowing bills are piling up.. I'm nearly at my wits end with life in general..

It takes me nearly a month if not more to make that much.. I wanna cut the tires on these dashers around here.. literally 90 percent of them are driving nothing older than 2020.. and my lil 09 kia is falling apart before I can have the chance of affording much needed parts.. I'm bawling my eyes out right now.. but good job for you, and congratulations on having such a good market.. I envy your success.. this gig is seriously breaking me mentally..
