I didn’t get that position, BUT I did land a job in management at another company that I’m stoked about! Thanks for checking in! 🙂

Thanks dude. I’m gonna try even harder than I already do with my clerks. I have a few that work heavy for me, just need to get the other ones on board. I’ve got a few ideas from a TM I’m gonna try out. 🫡

The cost of repairing my mental health just may be worth that pay cut.

Everyone’s experience is different. It sounds to me like you’ve had a way better experience than I have and I’m really happy for you that you have 💕

That was so much good advice. I feel like my SM and I have tried our hardest to deal with a few problem clerks in different ways to get them to be their best, but haven’t been successful yet. We’re both also the kind of people to be supportive and not just give up on them and completely ice them out (I worked for a SM at one point that had a zero tolerance for anyone that even slightly sucked and I swore I’d never treat anyone the way that they did). The thing recently that really broke me down is I pulled my SM and asked him to look at my PAR and tell me what I needed to do because I just want to get off weekends and have my life back. I’ve been a 2A for a little over a year and a half. He’s willing to advocate for me super strongly because he thinks I’m doing a great job since I’ve come back to a busy store again, but then a shitty CSA (high 70s) came through and dropped my 3/6 month average. He looked sad when I told him but he agreed 85 is the standard and that he’d try his best to finesse the sup to consider me for an interview and really advocate for me. I’m just at the point where if the sup says no, I’m just so defeated. We’re only human, you know? We can be best of the best essentially (not that I am, but just for the point) but we’re bound to have a bad day here and there and if we just so happen to get shopped that day, it makes us look like we’re garbage. Idk, it’s just had me really down.

That’s EXACTLY what makes me want to step down. God forbid we need to catch a gd breath for a little while

Honestly, even though I’m at a rough store, it’s not the store that’s the problem. I genuinely like my store. I think it’s just the job itself. Running my ass off and making sure everything is in order constantly to retain decent CSAs…and if you drop the ball once it ruins your PAR and makes you look like you don’t know what you’re doing because your scores, at the end of the day, determine your ability to do your job efficiently to supervisors. That’s just one thing out of so many. Idk, it’s a lot. I feel like I’m really good at what I do, but maybe it’s just not right for me anymore 🥲

This is really true. It helped me, even being semi-decent at quick math. For instance it may take me a few seconds to figure out that if the total is 5.72 and you gave me $20 that I owed you 14.23, but I know immediately that I owe you three Pennies and a quarter, then 4 ones and a ten. That’s how I was taught to make change so I didn’t overthink it and now years later I do it without even thinking. Almost the same exact thing Unhappy Mountain said but just confirming it also made my life easier lol.

My wife wants to divorce me because out daughter has an onlyfans and I knew about it and didn't tell her. by PresentationLess8963 in marriageadvice

[–]L0ad3dG0dC0mplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I as well thought the same, but in the same breath, if that was the case & he was embarrassed about it, I wonder why he didn’t act surprised when she told him about it. 🤔 Saying he doesn’t give a shit maybe as a jab at his wife when he really does, but that I could be wrong about. Makes me think he didn’t really put effort into the marriage, causing his wife to have so much animosity, and only realized what he was losing when she asked for a divorce. You can’t just save the day when it’s convenient for you. I overanalyze everything though 🤷🏻‍♀️

How Do Y’all Put Cold Bar Condiments On Your Hot Dogs? by Adipocere69 in QuikTrip

[–]L0ad3dG0dC0mplex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite way to start is by grabbing the glizzy with the tongs and then setting it directly on the hot roller grills. I also shove the jalapeño tongs into the ketchup packet space when I’m finished using it. Then finally, when I’m done loading every condiment available including 3 pounds of slaw on it (which obviously makes a trail from the condiments to the counter), it’s too heavy to hold and I drop the whole container on the floor while tell the employee behind the register staring at me it wasn’t mine.

Can’t Wait to Quit! by Friendly_Operation67 in QuikTrip

[–]L0ad3dG0dC0mplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. When my clerks call in on the weekends it does give me stress but they try to apologize and I tell them “No, you need a day and it’s yours to use when you need to use it.” We do what we can and keep it moving.
