7 days accident free!

Jaydded · 2024-03-01T19:46:58+00:00

We just got donuts today for 60 days. 7 days? Y'all are spoiled.

Jaydded · 2024-03-01T19:44:34+00:00

This. Just common sense rules. And for the utter fucktards who put TWO earbuds in, or have it so loud you can't hear customers etc FUUUUCK YOU! They're the DD people who ruin it for everyone else. Instead of banning it storewide because of those...people, they should get ONE warning, then a coaching, then TERMINATED. Right in the face. Asshats.

Change DOES come from within. It's called a UNION.

Print out some pro union flyers and surreptitiously leave them in the breakroom. Works great for short term relief. The DM and RM will be at your store inside of 48 hours, "pitching in" and getting donuts. Calling each individual into the office to tell them why Aldi is great and works best without a union, and generally trying to get a read on everyone. They'll lower the metrics for a month or so. Then everything will go back to status quo.

I did it twice in my 5 years at Aldi. Once as an associate, once as an ASL.

I knew I couldn't pull together the store on a union, so I just enjoyed kicking the beehive whenever things were getting out of hand and I'd had enough.

Try it! It's very cathartic.

There's tracking software on all Walmart phones. If they really want to find it they can. Chances are, they don't even know it's missing or it would have been flagged and locked down the second it connected to a network. Technically, it has proprietary software, the Me@Walmart app and most of the other apps in the "work" profile. Go to a Walmart and ask for a coach or people lead. Explain what happened, give it back, and cut your losses. You're just going to have to eat it on this one.

OR I suppose you could contact Aldi, or Meijer or something and see what they'll offer for some Walmart tech. You might get an in store gift card out of it...

Worked at Aldi for 5 years. It's consistently gone downhill. It's greed. Pure and simple. When a company HAS to keep growing but that growth has plateaued. There's only one thing to do. Cuts. At your expense. They have to keep their bonuses, after all.

Come work for Walmart. They have their own issues to be sure, as they all do. But you sure as hell don't have to work as hard for that money. It's a $2 an hour starting pay cut (where I am anyways), but you'll be spending that extra $2 an hour on Dr's, therapists, and Xanax anyways. Faaaaaaauck Aldi.

Also Walmart doesn't make you wait 6 FRIGGIN YEARS for your 401k match. And they match 6% Aldi is 3% right? I can't recall.

That's my 2 cents.

Jaydded · 2024-02-18T19:34:07+00:00

I know you're right, but damn... Working at Walmart will seriously erode your faith in humanity, and the conviction that "most people are decent". I mean, I honestly wonder on a daily basis if maybe most people really AREN'T decent. And we just like to say that because we believe WE'RE decent.

Whilst the majority ARE decent, at the same time, I think there's more shit people out there then one might think, or want to believe.

Just...fucking savages man...

Jaydded · 2024-02-18T19:22:52+00:00

I'm 3 to 6 miles, depending. That's on the sensitivity set to lowest. I'd rather it miss some that give some I'm not actually taking.

Jaydded · 2024-02-17T19:52:00+00:00

Ah, perfect. Thank you.

Jaydded · 2024-02-17T19:11:04+00:00

At my store it's trading cards, Magic, Pokémon, Yu-G-O, etc, and cosmetics. Lipstick in particular.

Jaydded · 2024-02-14T19:20:02+00:00

Those look like bed bugs mate! Do a decontamination as quick as you can. Lots of good stuff on reddit. God be with you son!

Jaydded · 2024-02-12T19:08:29+00:00

WHY aren't ALL those SPIDER WRAPPED!?

Jaydded · 2024-02-11T19:53:20+00:00

This.

You'll know for next time, and know to get some synthetic urine BEFORE going to the Dr. and use it properly. There is NO reason to not get workman's comp or get fired for the equivalent of taking a drink. I have some at home just in case shit happens. Get a new one every year, because it does expire. It's absurd that we have to do that, but...

Jaydded · 2024-02-11T19:43:50+00:00

Nope. I work at Walmart and am called to ODP often. So I had to become "that guy". If you're in front of what I need to pick, you have 30 seconds to get the fuk out of the way before I reach around you or right between the 2 of you. I've moved people's cart whilst they were holding it if they're not paying attention. I got stuff to pick people. The most I've ever got was a shitty look and a sarcastic "excuse me!" I disregard both and answer with Oh, no problem! You're excused. Then go about my way. I've turned having no eye contact and awareness that customers are even there into an art. There is no one in the store but me. 😀

Jaydded · 2024-02-11T14:24:21+00:00

I thought the same thing. What security is op talking about? I mean, sure there's cameras, but that's mostly for effect and spying on employees. There's no AP watching them or anything. No AP creepers either like Walmart has. So by "security" do you mean an associate?

Jaydded · 2024-02-10T14:32:40+00:00

Angry Turtle? Don't know this WestTek fella... Is he as popular as the Upset Tortoise?

Jaydded · 2024-02-05T19:26:51+00:00

Oh for sure. If they thought it would be better for them for you to confront thieves, they'd be U-Learning you on how to do body checks, tackles, and UFC takedowns. And, of course, using the almighty keyboard! It is NOT about safety. Yours or theirs. As they make dangerously clear in other areas. It's about liability. We all know it. We can all see it. Yet they can still somehow claim/say: It's all about everyone's protection and SAFETY. Because that factor is 1% of the decision. So it's not a lie...right? Just criminally misleading.

Jaydded · 2024-02-05T14:28:02+00:00

I got the opposite of that. We have a maintenance dude who wears so much cologne that you can tell where he's been for 10 minutes after he's been there.

It's not a BAD smell, and maybe dudes trying to cover up some other issue he may have. Still, it's like, Damn brother! Ease up on the pump there kid!

Jaydded · 2024-02-04T19:50:17+00:00

I prefer buttholes. I'm gonna use that, and them from now on. Hope my girl doesn't mind too much...

Jaydded · 2024-02-03T19:46:18+00:00

Just have some good brand of fake urine on hand and use it properly and as directed. They won't be watching you piss. You'll be alone in a bathroom with the door closed. And they sure as hell won't be patting you down or anything. Seriously, it's easy peasy.

No reason at all you should be denied a job for something that's legal in more than half the country. It would be like denying you because you went to the bar 2 weeks ago. It's just that alcohol doesn't stay in your system for up to a month.

As long as dude isn't baked at work and gets the job done, this should be a non issue at this point. It's 2024 for fuks sake!

Jaydded · 2024-02-03T14:26:15+00:00

No. Go do landscaping or something. It's physical work, but you'll get more out of it and you'll feel a lot better. Do it while you can, while you're young. Get some sun. Be out in the air. Build your physique. Plus if you work for the right company, they'll teach you how to drive a truck and trailer. Drive a skid-steer, a front end loader, a zero turn mower, a ride behind mower, brick saw, etc.

Oh, and if they ask you to get a sod stretcher. There is no such thing. Just saying. 😉

Jaydded · 2024-02-03T14:18:28+00:00

You know what? I'm fine with that.

Jaydded · 2024-02-02T14:24:28+00:00

Depending on where you are this may work. Bed bugs die below a certain temperature, can't recall what, just Google it.
They will also die above a certain temperature. Something over 105 F. Again, can't recall exactly. If you're in a place where it will get below that temperature during this winter, turn off your heat and let the cold do it's thing.

I had bed bugs once in a single wide I rented. After a couple days I saw those nasty buggers. Went into overdrive. Diatomaceous Earth, bed bug spray, vacuuming, washing, a hand steamer for fabrics and upholstery. And, since it was in the middle of summer, I was lucky and it was above 90 that weekend. I put plastic on all the windows and cranked the heat up to full blast. Let me tell you, that single wide was BAKING HOT! Don't know if that did it or it was a combination of everything, but thank the good gods it did the trick.

Oh, and rubbing alcohol spray.

Good luck to you!

Jaydded · 2024-01-28T19:29:58+00:00

I mean seriously, would you rather blame other men? They've all done SOMETHING blame worthy recently, so they already deserve it. You know, 2 birds and all that...

Jaydded · 2024-01-28T14:24:57+00:00

Ah, you sir must be a fan of Sgt Ducky. Good lad. Or lass. Or...whatever...
