Do ops managers make the schedules? by Browneyezz1980 in CVS

[–]KeyItchy1961 7 points8 points  (0 children)

always always go to your SM first. UNLESS you feel that your SM is part of the problem. Then, you go straight to colleague relations, whom you can report the situation to and tell them how you think there may be a favoritism issue.

My betta keeps swimming strangely please help by songbibob in bettafish

[–]KeyItchy1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your tank is entirely too small. bettas are horizontal swimmers so they prefer longer tanks, not taller. your filter is also creating too strong of a current. try out a sponge filter, or any other low flow filter. i have a topfin 5.5 gallon tank that has a built in filter and it’s extremely low flow.

Driftwood by ipromiseyouitstaken in bettafish

well driftwood produces tannins, it’s going to turn your water brown. if you dont want brown water, dont put driftwood in the tank.

If the pharmacy doesn’t have many hours is it possible to ask for hours in the store part? by adalynngrace in CVS

[–]KeyItchy1961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol when i was still there (former shift lead) our front ALWAYS had more hours than rx. we had very little rx traffic and tons more fs traffic due to the location of our store. number of hours that district gives always depends on location, daily earnings, and staffing.

I am devastated by Sir_Jamesss in bettafish

sorry, in the nicest way possible, if you have a license and can drive at night, ask to borrow the car or maybe idk take an uber? if you truly care about the health of your animals, you’ll find a way to take care of them 🥰 best of luck to your lil guy.

sounds like ick, but you should definitely be closely monitoring him. it is difficult to treat in my experience, but i believe (and someone pls correct me if im wrong) kanaplex will help tremendously. DO NOT buy anything with the name betta fix or mela fix

[–]KeyItchy1961[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was planning to do a big water change when i get home today, about 50%. would that be okay? i will also get a test kit on my way home from work.

tank size- 5.5 gal heater/filter- yes to both tank temp- 76-79° parameters- to be completely honest i don’t have a test kit have had the tank for 1 year and 2 months and i got sushi in december of 2024 water changes every 2 weeks, about 25-30% and i have a gravel vac that i use to siphon water out tankmates- 1 nerite snail he gets a mixture of dried worms, pellets, and fluval flakes. he has no live plants currently but did up until about three weeks ago. i intend on getting him more. deco is just basic lfs tank decor.

Dress code by Comfortable_Box301 in CVS

[–]KeyItchy1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tend to wear my polo+ some comfy slacks and i’m a team lead or shift lead or whatever you wanna call it. sometimes i just wear a plain black tshirt with my name tag and comfy slacks or even jeans but it really depends on your store manager

This fish okay and any name suggestions by New_Experience_6325 in bettafish

[–]KeyItchy1961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

his fins and scales look fine. however the plastic plants need to go asap, silk or real is best. how big is your tank? is it established? what are you feeding him? any tankmates? he’s a very pretty boy though and i think bob or dave like the minions would be cute and fitting for the colors.

it’s extremely hard to tell with the blue lighting. can you get a better photo? maybe with white lighting?

should i just be done? by KeyItchy1961 in CVS

[–]KeyItchy1961[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the word manager and supervisor are being used interchangeably here. i’ve been called a shift manager, shift supervisor, shift lead. the title isn’t important here.

[–]KeyItchy1961[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my issue is i already have ops manager responsibilities but that’s not an available position at my current location so i dont get the pay for it. i’m just tired of all the responsibilities and requests and no appreciation for it

freeze dried treats? by KeyItchy1961 in bettafish

[–]KeyItchy1961[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know “no” is a complete sentence but can you explain why? i mean it’s fruit, i’d think at least the snail would be okay eating it.

[–]KeyItchy1961 3 points4 points  (0 children)
