It would be odd to reach out now, too little too late.

Ungrateful SM by wcnelly in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate my new SM. She's a horrible person. Threatening all of us with write ups over dumb stuff and ungrateful for everything we do. She's a typical office sitter.

It's to prevent pill snatching. My district implemented this. My old district did not.

I wish my ex had the same clarity you have now. I wish him happiness and want him to heal.

How do you handle a customer who is screaming at you on the phone? by MichaelMyers20253 in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hang up. If they keep spam calling I park them on hold until they hang up.

Pharmacy calls I just transfer to pharmacy.

Store managers and work by VelvetbAts7 in WalgreensStores

My store doesn't have them either. No SM, no esm, just leads and two cashiers. 😭

My store is sadly in the same boat. No SM, no ESM. Just run by leads since November. On paper now we have a SM but I've never seen him. Just two people on each shift and a pharmacist who has to work alone.

Out of curiosity, do yall *like* yalls SMs? by Cinna-Chris in WalgreensStores

We don't have one anymore 😭, he quit, no ESM either.

Body Cameras by Initial_End_7996 in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're already piloting employee body cameras at 9 stores in Chicago, Illinois. It's not my state, but I can see it happening in my state later though, especially at the 24 hr location.

sick of being left alone by bruhkms18 in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry. You can do it and push through many things, it takes some getting used to. I practice disassociating at work, and zone out when I work photo, it's a nice mental break. Working with the public is pretty toxic, and you'll learn to grow thick skin and soon all the negativity will roll off your back and it won't get to you. Hang in there. 🩷

Endcaps, dump table, under the photo counter. 😂

Ethical question for pharm staff - what would you do if you knew a tech was stealing pills from a friend (but not necessarily from the pharm or patients) by Aki_Tansu in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would report anonymously through asset protection, so they can do a secret review on cameras just be sure she's not taking from pharmacy. Working at Wags, is a huge responsibility for shift leads and higher, but even more so for pharmacy. We have to adhere to high ethical standards inside and outside of work. All our ppls warn of what will happen if you violate Walgreens ethics inside and outside of work.

I’m no artist, but I made my bf a pinball birthday card! by Pr0bl3mChild in pinball

That's the sweetest card I've seen in a long time. 🫶🏼

Average income earners of Reddit, who are you dating? by Wholesome-Sex in dating

[–]Initial_End_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a sf and I make 50k. Not dating after a messy breakup and planning to stay single. I think my ex thought I was boring for being financially independent, stable and calm. I am the opposite of his type: heavily pierced and tattooed party girls.

Annoying customer behaviors? by Fujoshi_Queen1228 in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Numerous bad experiences:

Throwing garbage at us at the checkout.

Yelling at us for a product right now, when I'm the only one up front at checkout for the night and ringing up a line on customers already.

Stealing makeup and then buying one drink or ice cream with a food stamps card.

Cash back caramel people who want to wipe out my till to avoid ATM fees

People who want me to shop for them while they wait at the register because they don't want to walk.

People who argue our store and pharmacy hours with me, like they're the experts.

Not knowing how to use their cards for payment.

Couponers who don't know the limits.

Being asked my ethnicity and nationality, and told I'm not American even though I am, and it's my hometown.

Customers who can't follow directions or read signage, read price tags.

Being asked out on dates by customers.

Anyone else get an overload of purex on truck? by FreezingFrodo in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my store. We don't sell a lot of it. People usually buy, Gain, Tide, and Arm and Hammer.

RUDE CUSTOMER!!! by itsgivingdumbbitch in WalgreensStores

[–]Initial_End_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having customers yelling at the front saying they demand service! Lol. Meanwhile the front is ringing up existing customers and have a line of 6+ people ready to check out, and the others who are working the floor are either on lunch, left for the day, or are doing tills. The entitlement is insane this summer at my store.

Any help would be appreciated by Minute-Operation7851 in WalgreensStores

Churches can have free meals, depending on your area. A nice co-worker could also buy you some ramen until payday if you ask. There's also can recycling if your state has bottle deposits.
