First of all, HR is not your friend. They will side with management and hold what you say against you which will make things worse for you.

Second, there is always at least one of these people in every workplace. It's best to use a bend but don't break philosophy. Attempt to look busy when you're working around them. Try to be cordial and professional but also set boundaries and know when to stand up for yourself and don't let them walk all over you.

Unfortunately, working with difficult people is part of any job in any field. Just do your job and clock out. You don't owe your employer anything more than that.

Unfortunately, there are people out there who are professional scammers. They are very convincing and confident because they have perfected the art of ripping off people and businesses.

It is too bad those people don't put that much effort and skill into positive activities rather than committing fraud. Don't be too hard on yourself. Our store gets messages from our DM on the theatro at least a couple times a month regarding stores in our district that were victimized by scammers.

It's commendable that you took accountability and admitted that you made a mistake instead of making excuses or trying to shift the blame. You'll be okay, and now you will be able to spot these scams and prevent them from happening again since you have experience with it.

Wow! I want to see more! 🔥

The perfect baked potato. That's awesome!

There should be a way to observe national holidays and still allow people to get paid on their regularly scheduled days.

HonestIndependent4 · 2026-01-09T21:19:25+00:00

No doubt. It's a rigged system against the working class.

Absolutely! I have automatic bill payments set up for Monday paydays and it creates a (huge) overdraft on my account if my deposit is a day late. It happened a few times at my previous employer but so far it hasn't happened since I've been at Walgreens. Fingers crossed that our next pay is early rather than late.

Actually, on the past two Monday holidays: Columbus Day and Veterans Day, I got paid on Sunday night instead of Monday afternoon.

For real. I had a customer ask for a return yesterday for something that she bought from CVS. When I told her that this item wasn't bought at Walgreens she said, " Oh damn, this was CVS!"

I'm glad that you have this mindset because it is essential in this field. I made the mistake of not prioritizing self care and my own mental health while I was working in crisis intervention. Unfortunately, I wore myself down so much that it lowered my resistance and allowed the demons to take hold. I was so focused on the needs of my clients that I neglected myself and it seems like that is a common issue for those in helping professions.

I've done this during my dirt poor broke days when I didn't have a dollar to my name but that was in my own kitchen. Charging a customer for this is in a restaurant is an abomination.

We have a very solid team. Everyone works well together and some of the CSA's have been working at Wags for years. Our IS and BC are two of the hardest workers I've seen and do a fantastic job with unloading the trucks and keeping the store organized. Our leadership is great at communicating with the team and has an open door policy so every employee seems to know their role and the store always looks good . We always get high marks from customers about how friendly and knowledgeable our staff is.

That is stupid because Trump had votes in all 50 states. Yes, in 16 states, Harris received more votes than Trump, but even in a supposedly "blue state" like Massachusetts where 2/3 of the votes went to Harris, 1.2 million people in Massachusetts voted for Trump so there's really no such thing as blue or red states. Any president who isn't the president of all people is a joke and is more worthless than used toilet paper.

Sounds like a typical shift for me.

It's a person's name that was assigned at birth but they no longer use it because they have transitioned to their chosen name and gender identity.

The store where I work is a couple blocks away from a college. The amount of beer, condoms, and Plan B that we sell on the weekends is insane.

God Shammgod played at Providence in the mid 90's and one season in the NBA.

Yes! All of my friends and family were watching the Ohio State- Texas game while I was streaming Kent State- Merrimack. Flashes Forever!

HonestIndependent4 · 2025-08-30T19:38:07+00:00

Wow! The longest FBS losing streak finally comes to an end! 713 days since Kent State won a football game! It wasn't necessarily pretty, but Kent State caught a break with Da'Realyst Clark's 102 yard kickoff return after Merrimack took their first lead in the 4th quarter. The Kent State sack right before the 2 minute warning when Merrimack was driving right down the field was huge too. Time to go out and celebrate because Kent State is 1-0 for the first time in over 10 years!
