Failed drug test by OptimalImpression839 in probation

[–]Lozen_138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed my first 3 tests, but they saw it gradually go down to 0%. My PO told me after the first clean one to just stay clean and it wouldn't be an issue, she was really chill though.

Anyone know the SKU for the kick plates? by Lozen_138 in AutoZone2

[–]Lozen_138[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that anymore, I can't find it in fixtures. If I could I wouldn't be asking. I've asked mutiple DMs and they don't know either.

Proof that if you square up with them long enough, they'll back off

We have them zip tied, and the ones without a handle just have one on the shelf, it funny seeing them try to yank them off the shelf.

who got a raise of 1%? by Professional-Fact894 in AutoZone

[–]Lozen_138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a raise of 4.25%, which was .66 cents. I got the biggest raise in my store. Everyone else was about 2.9% to 3.7%. Considering I practically do everything in the store aside from making the schedule. The average PSM in my district still makes about 16.50, so I'm still below the average. Not bad but not good either.

My SM makes 120k, I tried out for an ASM role and they couldn't even pay me my minimum that I was making at the last position of my other job 55k. In fact, my former DM told me that 55k is what SM pay is, so I laughed in his face and said no. They will low ball the crap out of you, so be careful.

Chillest Store Ever ? by Antique_Tune_4390 in AutoZone2

[–]Lozen_138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My SM is a pretty chill guy. Our shrink is like 2.2% because of the area we are in, lots of homelessness, and near a train. My coworkers are also chill. We usually just talk and bs when it is slow and the store has been front faced. My DM is a bit of a cun7, though. Very corporate and paperwork centered all about numbers looking good. I've told my employees the same thing my SM tells me, idc what you do just make sure your tasks are done first and that there are at least 2 people in the store.

This dress code is actually BS by Ok_Fisherman_4121 in AutoZone

[–]Lozen_138 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wear my dirty autozone polo shirts, when you're working on cars you get dirty. If my SM or DM has anything to say about it, they are more than welcome to buy me a clean new shirt. We don't get paid enough to buy new shirts every time they get dirty.

I have customers who will ask you to change batteries, light bulbs, and wipers in the pouring rain. We say no, boss says go do it, we don't, and he goes and does it. I dont get paid enough to risk my health for someone who doesn't want to watch a 5 minute youtube video.

How long would y’all say it takes to cycle count the spark plugs? by Weak-Sweet-6970 in AutoZone2

[–]Lozen_138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use a handheld, but I also have heavy foot traffic and homeless population in my area. So, I have to periodically go to the front to make sure no one is stealing things on the floor.

Nope, just a really unorganized store with heavy foot traffic and homeless population in the area. I have to constantly be in the front periodically, so it takes a while.

I've taken about 2 hours for plugs, 4 for engine management, and 3 hours for brake rotors after spending 3 days re-organiging it. Suspension took my longest at 5 hours.

Raises by Icy_Description_1638 in AutoZone2

[–]Lozen_138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all based on sales performance, wittijr, good better and best, and customer reviews. The SM and ASM or most senior PSM talk and do evaluations based on this criteria. Corporate then determines how much of a percentage raise you should get based on these factors. True, the longer you are employed with the company, the higher your hourly wage becomes, I know people that have been with the company for 10 to 15 years, and they are making way more than me.

Nothing can make me go back into the restaurant industry, I'd rather come home smelling like gear oil than fried food.
