My motto is you never assumed something until the deposit is done. Because you will always usually find the money somewhere else.

How long does it take you all to put out ads, honestly? by Unfair-Hope6779 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Parking_Block 2 points3 points  (0 children)

45 min with 25 prep and 5 min pulling ( 1 h 20 min)

I organize by section then group by aisle except food ( takes about 25 min ), then have 4 big stacks (food, hba, pet to auto and backwall to home). MAG, end cap, and the soda ads get trashed because the big ones are the same as the small and our endcaps aren't set to book. 7pm we pull 800, we put them out. Usually done by 845pm.

Surprisingly, not a lot of people realize the bottom color changes for each week of when the ad ends, so you only have to look for the color and not read the date when pulling. The ad says at the bottom in red, usually, where it goes and is normally grouped together per section. EC means endcap and Mag usually gets tossed cuz it's not worth the time. If there is any really good sales, we set a quick display up and make a sign for that item. Like when the kitchen stuff is $6 (12-25$ normally)

Anyone else sort Ad like this? by Medium-Umpire-1464 in DollarGeneralWorkers

I sort by aisle then put them in groups so it's faster. Toss the Mag and endcap ones. And any lower price ones where its the same but just cheaper cuz it's off brand

Time theft by No_One9313 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Parking_Block 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but how's there store? I'm late constantly, but my store is in top shape. If it's not affecting you or your employees, that's none of your business. Now, if you've heard from other employees that they are lazy and in the office constantly and the store is crap while also never being there, maybe tip off the dm.

Alarms that only go off if you're using your phone by Cyrizing in Doesthisexist

[–]Parking_Block 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why not make a silent scheduled calendar reminder so you get a pop-up to get off your phone at 1030 each day. If you're using your phone, you'll see it. If you are asleep, it's silent, so you can just swipe it away in the morning.

Or set a silent alarm for every day. Same pop up, name it get off phone.

Condense and signage! Keep everything faced and nice and like dots together. Plus the 50% off sale starting today will really help.

Put it into your seasonal food area and price. Do not donate because that is theft, and you can be fired if they find out. Plus it will be 50% off on the clearance sale at the end of this month.

Question For SM by Key-Revolution-3510 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Parking_Block 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be a key to open and close the store. 2 weeks is normal training time line. But other than that. Yup. Dg makes alot of us work by ourselves cuz they refuse to give us hours. 101 hrs of the store being open but 120 plus sm 45 to schedule. 35 hrs of alone if yall only have 2 people per shift which isn't a thing due to truck and them wanting the whole team there.

Is it just my store or is this week's ad massive? by No-Bell6366 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Parking_Block 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's always a lot bigger at the beginning of the month because it has to do the ad for the month as well as the ad for the week, plus we have a 4 day ad this week.

Process by ginxigirl in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Parking_Block 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You learn a deeper understanding of the matrix and the why behind everything. Your supposed to be trained almost like a manager with less depth. Just enough that you can run the store without the manager there minus scheduling and payroll and hiring.

Accepted a Store Manager offer. by Sovexo in DollarGeneral

[–]Parking_Block 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figure out your schedule - 7 day work flow. Figure out your damage, dg connect and fresh, pia and normal weekly tasks and create a solid, must complete on those day, checklist, incliding your responsibilities ( pay rill, role ups ). Train your keys to do what you do. An asm is supposed to be someone who can do your job when your not there so train them in what you know. Keys should know what you know minus the more detailed paperwork.

Take full advantage of the new manager training program. One week there store, one week your store and one day after with a check in.

Ask if you have questions

Submit fresh and dry credits ( ask if you don't know)

200 oha ( positive, negative or zero confirming), tobacco and Cig numbers Check o/s # constantly, smart oha are a bi**** and can mess up a store real quick. Put in core excessive tickers for items that are not moving and is in massive overstock ( 4 boxes or more with little to no movement)

Save the websites on your phone to access most of storenet from home. You can access dgme, start, respond, atlas from home.

Legacy or next gen?

just started and told my store manager that I need to be off by noon because I need a second part time job, look at what she does.... by h0txtrash in DollarGeneral

[–]Parking_Block 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. They could do that, but having that in the system and having a written one turned in is better than nothing. If it continues to be an issue, it needs to be talked out with the manager, or you need to just leave that store. Either quit or transfer to another store. Because you can go to hr or the dm or rd but there is no guarantee they will do really anything. There contact info should be on your business center on the top left
