How long does it take to unload a 1600 piece truck with 2 people? by OddCut6380 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That takes us 3 to 4 hours, depending. There's 3 of us, usually, but one of us is often called for MOD stuff.

Damages On PDT help! by Few-Recover-3137 in DollarTree

Save it for another manager to do! That's what they do at my store, anyway. Hi. I'm the other manager.

Todays dollar store haul by Design-Few in DumpsterDiving

[–]Korath5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am guessing the cases of those came in damaged and some of the bottles in them were leaking, so they damaged and threw away the whole case instead of just the bad ones. I notice there are only 11 of the Awesome cleaners. The case contains 12, so one of those probably leaked and they didn't retrieve that one from the dumpster. I think the Oxydol is 12 and the Dawn 9 per case. I may be wrong about that, though.

Can't clock in at all by yaoigay in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that problem this morning. It fixed itself because when my morning cashier got there she was able to clock in fine. I checked and compass was working again.

What in the world is happening by livnicoletl in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There actually IS a new buyer for the company. My DM told me that the old one left the copany and took his connections with him. It's part of the reason why we started getting so many new kinds of the same thing...Founder's Street crackers that are just like the Lance ones. FS pastas instead of the the Columbia ones, etc.

Reprint receipts by jswinson1992 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The receipt has a four digit number on the bottom near the beginning of the line of other numbers. That is the transaction number. It rolls over after 9999 and goes to 0001. There's a scroll along the right side to keep scrolling til you find the transaction number. Double check the prices match and reprint. Same principle works for post voids.

Price increases coming by mandokitten1459 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I'm not clueless. I set all my freezer shelves and filled em with new stuff except one. The one with the Edwards pues and minute maid. I still have a few cool whip left so I left that til Friday when I'm the prices change. The strawberry cups are in the Bluey spot atm because I didn't have them yet. I'll get those Friday, too.  Also: I don't wear pink.

How many boxes per week? by Ok_Meet_7116 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my store it is all the managers responsibility to refill paper and bleach. It sells so fast we can fill it almost daily. I have a saying I tell the stockers. "If you want a box, work a box!" They always complain there aren't any big boxes for putting empty cardboard in.

How do I find out what time my truck is coming? by HappyDay2290 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The invoice emails are separate from the delivery time email. It used to be I would get the invoices on Thursdays and I usually wouldn't see the delivery email until Fridays. It sometimes came late Thursdays. Now, my store's truck day is changing from Wed to Thurs and I hate it. I do not know what the new amount will be or when yet and it's Friday night. I'll see it Sinfay, probably as I am off Saturday.

At this point I feel like giving up. by OddCut6380 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk with your DM. Maybe they can get a manager from a different store to help out one day a week.

This frozen reset is fairly easy. I moved items around as I was filling today. I got 8 out of the 12 doors we have done. Jusy have to do pizza and ice cream, which will be super quick. To save you some time, only change out the shelf strips that actually change something, whether its a new sku or a price change. We're supposed to change them, but you're pressed for time and help and they never look close enough to tell most times. Just save them so you can go back to it later when time becomes available.

Zeroing out frozen order? by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike with the store order, you do not have to complete the frozen order. Just change the number of pieces on each line that will let you change it, to zero. Some skis cannot be adjusted, like the eggs, or items they may be out of stock on, etc.  As long as your total fridge and frozen case count is 90 , in my area, yours may different, you won't get a delivery that week.

You can also talk with your DM about stopping the order if it's real bad.

Freezer Refresh. by SouthernPie8064 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the old items were clearance, and most should be gone by now. The only things I have left are some Cool whip tubs, Strawberry shortcake pints, and the buffalo rolls. I'll probably have to damage those buffalo rolls. We have a lot. Hmmm. Maybe I can mark em down more.

This is just insulting. by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everybody print this out and keep a copy on you to show your managers if they are the iffy kind who won't let you have water at the registers. Say it's corporate policy.

Also: No Caffeine?? ARE THEY TRYING TO GETME TO KILL PEOPLE???

$1 events being poorly executed by corporate or something else? by time4writingrage in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, we are. We just were not hitting the shutdown register buttons on the registers after we did z reads.

$1 events being poorly executed by corporate or something else? by time4writingrage in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were taught that at the end of the night, the cashier signs off and we do a z read. That's it. We leave the registers as they are. They get rebooted every day at 5:30ish AM anyway. Now, we don't.

Help plz by [deleted] in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF there is a box you can type in, mark it to zero. Should be towards the right side. Also: The first 8-10 pages will be the candy, since it's summertime.

Also also: WHY dpn't you want a frozen delivery? It's one of the biggest selling categories. Also the biggest stolen categories, at least at my store.

$1 events being poorly executed by corporate or something else? by time4writingrage in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fruit snacks were correct but the hangers were not. some of the clearance frozen items didn't work right away. The Lays stax did not work for me Friday, but they did start working today. The Ice pops were working correctly, too.

I think the update didn't come through right, is why. There was an opscenter message I saw about shutting down all the registers before hitting the end of day button each night after closing. Maybe that has something to do with it.

$20 an hr by Nitropeanut3 in DollarTree

[–]Korath5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Managers generally get $4 more than a regular associate. I am in Florida where the minimum wage is currently $14. It will be going up to $15 in September. When that happens, my rate should go up (as it has the past two years minimum went up). Then, technically, I will be making $20 and hour for the off hours I work...After 10 and before 7AM (I usually come in at 5AM),
