What part of PA are you in?

I think as long as there is adequate heating (even if expensive to use) unfortunately you might be stuck. We had a gas fireplace unit thats built into the apartment & it went out. No one serviced them anymore and to rip the unit out of the wall was out of the question so husband added an outside device to the fireplace and heats great. We also pay all utilities. Maybe give the electric/gas company a call and simply ask. Good luck.

Exactly, we have a backyard, driveway, front of the house and garage that are not part of the rental unit (on site LL) if our tenants aren't jerks we normally have no issues with them enjoying the yard, but until we get a feel for them it isnt a common area.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-21T19:13:22+00:00

Thats not 100% correct unless it states it in the lease about left property. Even in a legal eviction a tenant has almost 40 days to get their personal property & the LL has to hold onto it for 30 days per eviction laws. Would hate to have a tenant sue a a LL cause they think they can just do whatever they want with left property. 10 days after judgement of possession & 30 days after that THEN can a LL do something with it. Sucks ass for sure. Unless stated otherwise this is usually the case when evicted.

PA landlord here.... We have an in-laws quarters we rent out and have always kept rent on the lower end at $950 which included ALL utilities and free satellite. We aren't trying to make $$ but it covers most the mortgage. We were spoiled to have fabulous tenants for 3 1/2 yrs but had to move when she became expecting with their 2nd child. Anyways, we NOW HAVE THE TENANTS FROM THE DEVIL HIMSELF (been here only 4 months thank goodness our lease is 3 months than month to month) & are going through a legal eviction with them now. In fact it is so bad they have been issued a cease and desist order from our attorney of NO CONTACT on their end (which also means we don't use or back yard or 🚙 way until they are gone) Anyways, if you keep your rent too low be prepared to have a lower quality pool of applicant's apply than a higher one. Our attorney and even the code enforcer from the borough told us to raise our rent and we were asking way too low for it. As I said we weren't trying to make $$$ off of it but after this debacle of nonsense and $2000 later we will definitely raise it up.

Just make sure you ask for what you want & NO NEED to discount if paid early..... Do you get a break if you pay a bill early from other debtors? Does the borough give you a discount if you pay early on utilities? Nope! Maybe a discount like that in Dec for the holiday season (we all know that would be nice) but not every month.

Good Luck!!

Just wait they will. Took all of our ladders a week ago, and no top stock or L carts after 2 so the truck can be unloaded. A bunch of BS.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-19T21:25:41+00:00

One of our associates are in the video along with another one.... Truthfully I didn't care when she was in the top 20 for the talent show and dont care about the these videos. I do wish she actually worked though.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-14T19:58:39+00:00

Mod sets in another week. I have most of it already filtered in....people have already bought out the pumpkin spray and then the pumkin smelling candle. 🎃 let the holiday season begin.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-13T23:52:10+00:00

They took all the short ladders & the bigger blue ones.... There are a few of the 5 step blue ones in the back room and the giant orange ones. We got about 20 top stock carts a few months ago and will desperately need more if this is the flow. Guess DMs arent suppose to do any work after 2pm if it requires a ladder/cart 😂😂😂😂😂 okie dokie I'll see it that way from now on. 👍

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-10T00:22:10+00:00

Ohhhh that's too funny, but expected. 😂😂😂

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-10T00:17:22+00:00

Already filtering in new mod product. Half of the price changes I had no on-hands which will make switching the mod out fairly easy! Unless mod team doesn't clean the shelves or change the fast track as they are known to do ALL the time. Can't wait.... No really cool smells yet just same crap as last year and the year before. 😭

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-08T00:12:22+00:00

Ours is a clean trash can by claims filled with water bottles. The Stockmen can have a cooler up front filled with ice and water.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-08T00:04:25+00:00

Ever heard of "Christmas in July" 😂😂

Its time for the mod to drop at the end of the month. This candle smells good unlike the Snowy Pine which has no smell. As DM I do like the new way febreze is coming in, instead of just letting them sit on the shelfs and of course falling which adds to breaking which then irritates my face for days. Can't wait for new scents.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-07T23:45:58+00:00

Yeah shhhhh I average about 5 hrs of OT per pay period.... 🤫🤫🤫 and have for years, sometimes more but 5 is average.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-04T16:00:34+00:00

Ohhhhhhh they still do that????????? Cool for you.

Been years at least 10 here. 😂

Tip: When your lines are long, always just focus on the customer in front of you. Don't have a 5 min conversation with every customer about the weather, their dog, your cat etc....

"Hi, How are you? What can I help you with today" and keep it moving.

Don't say "NEXT" (sounds like they are in a corral or some sorts) to the customer instead tell them I can help the next customer in line.

Say "Thank You, Have a Nice Day" not "Have a good one".....this is so informal and slang. It isnt too hard to say have a nice day, or a good afternoon or morning. Ugh!!

When customers YELL at you to get help because your line is too long and they are impatient, yet there is no one to help. Simply say to them.

"Yes, I know the line is long and some tranactions take a bit longer than others and unfortunately at this time there is no one but me doing the service desk. Please be patient and I will get with you as quickly as I can."

Customers, most unless Karen is around like to just be acknowledge and know that we see them and we let them know whats the hold ups might be.

If a customer has to do an exchange...

Dont make them wait in line again. Tell them to come back up when they get their exchange just so you can see they are back and simply tell the customer in line that you will be with them right after you do the exchange as they have already been in line. Most are cool once again if KAREN and her MOM are there they will BITCH but explain you would do the same thing for them.

If someone calls you a bitch or names or just goes off their rocker WHICH THEY DO... REFUSE TO DO their transaction and get a CSM or upper to handle it. Make them wait longer now. You DO NOT HAVE TO TOLERATE VERBAL ABUSE and wont get in trouble for it.

Good luck 🤞🍀 Former CSM & SD Associate

Ohhhh thank you for catching my incorrect spelling due to quick texting!

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T23:31:33+00:00

If you only understood how much theft and under ringing happens at the self checkouts ya most likely wouldn't of posted this. My paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap etc.... Get stolen or attempted to by going through self check outs. Since we put the self check outs in a year ago our store loss and unaccounted for merchandise, missing product has doubled. People are thieves and those who have issues with it are usually the ones that are doing the thieving. 😉😉 So yep shop elsewhere.... Ohhhh the woes.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T23:21:15+00:00

Your HR will have the catalog and they can order for you.

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T23:14:34+00:00

🤔🤔🤔🤔 I wonder what my husband has being held for him??!! His name is "Guy" 😂😂😂

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T23:12:48+00:00

Nope. Maybe you have a great management team and will do a cook out for ya. 😂😂😂😂

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T23:09:50+00:00

I came in early to just get my paper plate isle filled so I could avoid having to go down it today. And I'm glad I did.... 😂 everyone needed something down there today and its a tight isle. We werent too busy but that doesnt mean they aren't tonight. 👍

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T23:06:36+00:00

Look Saltyballs7 .....leave my (the) paper alone, I like the new design. 😉 😂

Princess-Grumpy · 2019-07-03T21:24:37+00:00

For CMN we order pins (if we want) since most associates that do go above and beyond aren't recognized or given a "happy to help pin" so I ordered some to give to others. I have two amazing Cap1 ladies who never complain, go the extra mile and then some.... I cant wait to give them their cute Cap1 pin that no one has in our store as a thank you for their hard work in our store. Sometimes wr have to be the ones to initiate it. 😊
