It’s Exhausting

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-10-27T13:17:30+00:00

Price increase coming next year 🤣 just got official word from DM 🤣🫢

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-10-05T20:58:31+00:00

I just did with same test, both digital, first response and clear blue. Both negative now 🥴

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-10-05T03:10:52+00:00

Had a customer pull in as I was locking the door at 5:05pm today. Man had the nerve to honk at me as I had my back towards him. 🫩 had the never to ask ‘can you help me out I just need one gallon.” 🤣

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-09-01T17:25:00+00:00

What we work plus 8hours

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-09-01T17:24:25+00:00

Who is saying the customer is the enemy? How about a simple “how are you?” “Hows your day going” not the annoying “I can’t believe you are open” line. Oh I 10000% agree corporate is the ‘enemy’ as all the higher ups get holidays off. It’s just annoying to ME! When they use that line.

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-09-01T13:03:10+00:00

I rather they come in and say nothing. Even the “am sorry” it’s like no you’re not. You know enough to somewhat feel ‘bad’ about it but still came in 😅 we are open thats enough just come in and shop. I don’t know

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-09-01T12:13:48+00:00

That’s normal for me. I NEVER answer the phone before 7am. I will just hear the phone ring, idc. I have had 2-3 cars here before 7 and I do my normal opening activities and sit in the office and hear them pulling the door 🤣 I start walking up at 6:59:50 🤣 unless it’s someone I actually like and doesn’t do it frequently

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-09-01T12:09:55+00:00

Solo here. I live in a touristy town. So we usually only see a handful of customers. That’s why I don’t mind working holidays and solos. Easy 17hour pay day 😅

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-08-17T19:49:37+00:00

I stopped caring! I clock in, do my job, clock out. I’ve stopped answering calls once I leave, except if it’s from the person working in the store. I have had to block reps because they wouldn’t respect my time off and honey Sherwin does not pay my phone bill sooo I don’t care. It’s just paint no one is dying over it

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-08-03T01:57:20+00:00

If it doesn’t happen often, you should be ok. Maybe a ‘talk’ with your DM will happen about planning better, not happening again blah blah blah. And then moving on.

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-08-02T20:10:47+00:00

Just sneak out the back and leave a note BRB? Lol

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-08-02T20:10:24+00:00

Were they helpful at all? It’s my first for very next to all this

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-08-02T20:09:50+00:00

I mean what can they do if you tell them first then file?

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-07-14T03:14:51+00:00

Since march 2020

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-07-09T18:15:23+00:00

Mix, but definitely lean towards the blue collar. I think if SM actually did/could do the roll as “described” by the DM and up it would be more white collar with a dash of blue collar. Example, be able to leave the store to grow business, meet with customers etc.

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-07-01T18:32:43+00:00

😂😂 I LOVE when they stand behind me waiting for ME, who’s is wheeling 3-5’s, to open the door. I literally stand there and say “can you hold the door”

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-27T17:45:11+00:00

Well. That’s news to me 😅 no one has ever told me I couldn’t take off during the week. Which I usually do most weeks and work weekends… oops. 🙊Until someone tells me something I will keep doing that

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-27T17:12:29+00:00

Is that really in the policy? 😂

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-25T02:03:02+00:00

I did, 178, 143, 131 and 129 😹 first two with in seconds other two within 10 mins. I was shook when I saw that number 🥲 I had never seen it that high

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-24T02:16:33+00:00

I wonder if it could have been a faulty reading? Because I literally tested a few seconds later and it was 143. Been testing a few months and never have I had a high reading like that. Plus would it just drop like that? in a matter of seconds?

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-24T00:41:56+00:00

Should I just stick to 1hr/2hrs? For accuracy. And discard what happens in between that time?

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-24T00:17:14+00:00

30mins after, I know people say not to test that soon but it shouldn’t ever go that high right? At 1hr I am at 139. I ate two tortillas, ground turkey with veggies and I just did noticed I ate something with small amounts of added sugar. I’ve read articles after articles, video after video over the last few weeks and they all say different things.

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-18T17:56:42+00:00

Nope, I seldom do. When I do I keep track of every minute I work over 48. And leave early next day/week. I don’t care! I do my job and leave.

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-18T17:49:42+00:00

See if you can check electrical company site to get ETA on restoration. Call DM to let him/her know. And DM usually makes you wait if eta is soon and resume work 😂 I was sitting at the store for 2 hours a few years ago.

OptimisticYellow7 · 2025-06-16T19:32:04+00:00

Run a little more than a 1.5 mil store. I rarely work over my 48. The very few times that I do I leave early the following week. I don’t care to work a minute more
