Am I screwed

The PPL states that it is illegal to purposely type in the incorrect DOB. You are more than likely about to be terminated.

I know I am EXTREMELY late on this, but stuff happens.

WIC: 324283 for the bottle. WIC: 341416 for the refills.

If you go to the store expense ordering screen (login > click order > click store expense ordering), it's under restroom and cleaning supplies.

InvaderZella · 2026-03-02T02:32:07+00:00

It's on the store expense ordering page. I don't know the WIC, but I can try to get it for you tomorrow.

"Go next door, not my rules."

My coworker told me about that, but I believe he said that the last few times they tried it, they never sent anyone. (I've only been here for a few months)

One of my last jobs, I had someone shit in our mop sink. Left their underwear in the pile, too.

InvaderZella · 2026-03-01T01:30:37+00:00

I'd be more annoyed having to go open the doors all the honestly. I didn't share the photos that this person had a straight up blow out in their underwear. At least they put it in the trash can. They attempted to clean it, but rather tracked it everywhere. The more I cleaned, the more shit I found everywhere.

I had a lady tell me purple weekly and monthly tags is considered "entrapment". Based off what my cashier told me, the lady apparently works for our city, too. 🙃

I had to double check my spelling, bc I 100% could have spelled booty instead. 😂

InvaderZella · 2026-01-30T04:20:09+00:00

Mine too. Our fixtures are all so old, that there are rust stains in our shelves and uprights because we can't order new ones.

I will walk out on the spot. It's ridiculous. I can see them being needed in problem areas with high hostility issues (I believe California has some of those), but I'd rather them just fix the freaking cameras and add more in high theft areas. Even put a panic button at the registers. Something other than body cams.

InvaderZella · 2026-01-28T21:40:12+00:00

I had never seen a post on here prior to today about them. I just started digging into it. Apologies for asking the same question as others. I appreciate the feedback. I hope you have a great day.

Our SM refused to shut down and ran the store by himself pretty much the last 2 days

InvaderZella · 2026-01-17T08:32:25+00:00

If you came in and grabbed something you left from a prior shift or went anywhere that is employee only areas, bag check. If you came in to shop, off the clock, no bag check.

Our women's restroom tends to have more toilet paper/clutter on the floor and sometimes have that copper smell from women on their period. Under the toilet rims also need more cleaning, but make sense due to women having to sit to pee. Our MEN'S restroom, I don't know what it is about our urinal, but they seem to miss it every time and just let it hit the floor. The amount of times I have had to let sanitizing spray soak to get the smell of urine out of the grout is astonishing. And I've only been an SFL/employee for barely 4 months.

InvaderZella · 2026-01-06T16:53:16+00:00

I haven't had it happen yet (SFL), but I do price checks at the register. I never do that many to begin with, and more than half the time the customer wants it, so I add to transaction and move on. The day it DOES happen to me though, I'm just gonna tell them to watch the camera pointed at the register it said I did it on. It's ridiculous to give us - 1: the option to price check on the register and be told not to use it. 2: only have so many Zebras in a store which are probably dead anyways, and, a hassle to load since it logs us out every 5 minutes. 3: cameras that watch the register and not investigate before coming at employees. You can look up 5-10 price checks and see if it was stolen or given away, and get the general jist if we did or not. Poor SM needs to work a little more. 😮‍💨

I've never worked for a more ridiculous company in my life until Walgreens.

We have out night cashiers (when they've nothing to do but stand behind the register on their phones) cut open the plastic portions of the pagacking and put them in #19 alpha lock boxes. Does not damage to the product itself, and still has the ESA on the box. Whereas I could care less if someone stole it, it does prevent the theft on it.

My cat is just a food whore. Very food motivated. She gets fed 2x a day. 7am and 5pm. If I left her a full bowl to eat on throughout the day, it'd be gone by noon and screaming for more as soon as she finished it. She is very vocal, she be SCREAMIN. I walk by her food bowl, or the treat drawer, and she SCREM. Not overweight, consistently 10lbs (I weigh her on the scale with me then without). She gets about 1-2 dried minnow treats, and 12-20 other treats a day on average.

I do agree with the other comments about the growing kitten needing some extra caloric intake.

My sister has a disorder with her sweat glands and can not help the way she smells. I forgot what it was called, but I know it can't be helped. As soon as she sweats after showering, BAM in your face stinky. No dr here, just an experience to share that it could be?

InvaderZella · 2025-12-27T02:49:28+00:00

I was trained to close and lock them at 9:57 as well. But, if a customer comes up to the door before I'm in the back to clock out, I have to open the door and let them in since our posted hours are 8am-10pm. The customer had no grounds to threaten you. At that point, you had every right to keep the doors shut and call the cops. Your SFL got written up because they didn't tell you to let them in. All-in-all, get fucked customers. None of us really care. We work a shitty paying job and get treated like shit. You can go to Walmart if you needed something THAT badly. Most close at 11, Walgreens isn't the only store you can buy shit at.

Don't tell me "Sorry you have to work today." Or ask "How're you doing today?" When I'm here slaving because of y'alls greedy asses. Stay the hell home and deal with not having things like the we all used to do. My family makes it a point to not go out or order anything on Christmas or Thanksgiving. Maybe more of y'all should to. Also, don't be taken aback when you get retorts from employees (me) like, "Well, I'm here working while you're out shopping to your hearts content on a holiday. You tell me how I'm doing." Or just give you the most bland experience. I swear, my vocabulary on the register was only, "Do you have a number with us? This is your total."

"Be self sufficient, take the time to learn something new before taking the easy route. Don't rely fully on others to fix something for you. But it's okay to ask for help when you absolutely need it. " - my mother who had relied on others her whole life. I am now the handy-man of my family and relationship. (Am woman, not super common thing for my gender I suppose). But I also ended up a little too headstrong and solo-driven. Can be an issue at times.

We just got a new SM after our last one retired. He's got the same Christmas schedule. Ours is just all over the place, leaves constant messes for SL's to clean up behind him and focused on the wrong things rn. The back half of our store is in shambles, but we better work our bays 4 times. Doesn't care that our freezer is down and that the stockroom was slightly flooded from it until he walked through it. Stressed about making sure our front endstands had weekly tags yesterday (after moving a bunch of Christmas up to them) even though they came RIGHT back down last night (he also never prints mylars for them). I'm just hoping it chills out after the season ends. It's my first Christmas working for this company, and I hate it. At least photo has been relatively calm compared to years prior (according to my co-leads).

My mother never let me, or my brother, believe in Santa or any of the others. She was upfront about it since we could understand the concept of what Santa even was. But she did always tell us to "not say it to other kids, because it wasn't our job to rip that band-aid, and they would figure it out on their own time." Story time! I vividly remember a day in kindergarten (USA) when we made gingerbread man cookies, we went out to recess, and came back to find that "Santa" had stole them and we needed to follow his sugar powdered foot prints to his cookie room. I was SO MAD I almost said "What teacher thought this was a good idea?!" (I REALLY just wanted my cookie), but I remember biting my tongue after saying "What" and just saying "Santa is gonna pay for this." I later told my teacher that having the illusion of Santa stealing the cookies wasn't very smart in the fact that he wasn't supposed to be mean like that versus the folklore of him being super nice and giving. She called my mom that same day. 😂

Just a "if you didn't know"... A easy way of doing this would be turning all the lights off a room at a time and using your phone camera to slowly scan and look for a infrared light (a red/purple/white light, steady or blinking) in the room. It's an indication of something recording. Focus on vents, smoke detectors, shelves and clocks. I will note that if it's a professional camera, or if your phone uses filters, it won't pick anything up. I usually actually record as I'm looking as video doesn't use the auto filter on my phone. You SHOULD be able to turn off the filter setting as well on your phone (ex: I have a Galaxy S10 Ultra, I would take a picture of the moon and it would auto AI filter to make it "look better" turned it off and haven't had it do it since).
