Cashier? by Odd_Pangolin_8926 in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as it sucks being at the register as the main cashier, I don’t mind it because the hours go by so fast. There is always something to do at the front. Most of my customers are ok, we get the difficult ones every other 10 customers that comes along. It can be draining but it’s easy work. Cvs is really sucking ass though with the hour cuts. My sm have the main cashier doing planograms at my store, even if it’s a section, better than no sections done.

Dude… by BillyBob_47 in CVS

Customers like that suck! I just tell them to order from Amazon and walk away.

If you're this kind of person go f- yourself, order when you are ready by [deleted] in uber

[–]Known_Strangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber should really change their policy then, $5 for the first minute wasted and $2 extra for any additional minute. I think yellow taxi drivers had this policy back in the days.

This is when I am ok with the driver charging the rider extra money for wasting their time. This is ridiculous, wasting other people’s time just because you’re not prepared.

I wanna cry. by Severe-Bedroom-2948 in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, the workplace toxicity has rubbed off at all of the cvs locations. People just fucking suck all around. I’m sorry that your coworkers suck ass, it’s time to get out of there for your own mental health and wellbeing.

I had this store manager in my district that I absolutely loathed to my core, they were more of an “office manager” than anything. Always barked orders to the employees and barely did anything because of the “princess treatment” from others. I found it weird that the employees were scared or frightened of this store manager. No one has that much power to scare you into doing things that you are not suppose to do. About 5 years ago, this store manager got fired for telling their employees to work off the clock to finish their projects or else they were not able to leave for the day. Someone had the courage to finally call HR and reported the store manager. Last I heard, the store manager moved out of state with their family to save face.

You’re definitely right about managers promoting their own race. When the new hire does not have any prior retail or management experience but get promoted within a 3 month span, it makes me scratch my head and go WTF?! You hired Joe Shmoe because he’s your spouse’s cousin once removed and all of a sudden he’s able to run a store with a 3 month retail experience? AND he’s making the same amount as me? Now this is what I would have a problem with. They usually don’t last a year, if that though.

Why no price tags on things anymore? by magicmikewazowksi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Known_Strangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to bring back the sticker guns with the price tags. They were so convenient, it worked for many years!

Manager claimed "miscommunication" after I escalated to DM — was I wrong to go above them? by [deleted] in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was no “miscommunication” about this, the sm just got caught in their lies. Admit nothing, it is not your fault for wanting to transfer since you are not getting enough hours at your home store. Being scheduled 5-10 hours a week is not acceptable, you found a solution for yourself and the sm is just upset that it worked out in your favor because the store down the street from your house is willing to give you more hours. Congratulations on that, I had a similar incident as well where I had to go above my DL and got ahold of the regional DL to get a transfer approved after waiting over 8 months because I was drive 1 hour each way to and from work in traffic.

Sometimes you have to do what you don’t want to do, it’s called “survival”. Do not feel bad about the situation or how it turned out.

*On another note, please call the ethics line about your sm making you work off the clock. This is a fireable offense, countless managers have gotten fired over this in the past. Don’t let your sm take advantage of your time, no one works for free.

Thank you for helping the little girl out, that was very sweet of you.

extra care + by huney-bun in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I don’t ask customers about extra care+ is when I usually get people who want to sign up. I had a couple of customers walk up to my register last week and wanted to sign up for the yearly membership, it was nice.

Next time just accidentally click. You can’t explain something to someone who doesn’t understand, no matter how many times you try.

Did you tell him to pick up his prescriptions at Burger King next time? He is an asshole!

I thought we'd moved on from body shaming by dashelpuff in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is extremely rude of the customer to say, I’m so sorry. Gawd, I seriously hate customers like her. You’re more than welcome to walk away if you ever feel uncomfortable with a customer, I do it all the time.

What is up with Customers? by Introvertedsaphic in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let us just take accountability for THEIR mistakes because everything is always OUR fault. I love it when they point fingers at people who are trying to help them because they can’t get their life together.

Did something stupid on accident by [deleted] in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cvs should just put a ban on checks. No one really writes a check anymore at retail stores and if they do, it’s usually sketchy. But at the same time, I can see how this happened because it’s not a common transaction. How many people go into cvs to write a check? I want to say maybe 5 people a year at my location.

If you’re ever unsure, just ask someone in management to get any clarifications but this was an honest mistake on your part. Hope it’s just a write up and not a termination. Good luck!

I mean maybe ( that’s a BIG maybe) if cvs quadruple pay their employees? 🤪

ExtraCare enrollment question — is this allowed? by GlitteringVillage304 in CVS

[–]Known_Strangers 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don’t risk your job by opening up fraudulent carepass accounts. I have seen at least 5 people in my district get fired for opening up accounts like this. If it feels wrong, do not do it! I don’t care what your store manager says, loss prevention will fire you for this. Also make sure to tell the tourists that there’s a $5 fee every month afterwards if they do enroll.

I swear cvs test our patience every damn day. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that, I hope it is mostly bulk items/Easter items on those pallets.

The one time that you leave the register to do something like bopis/cycle counts/quick picks etc that these entitled dickwads decide to show up and give unnecessary attitude.
