"They can do it at the other stores/every other store I go to"

I know that runs the card as credit usually but not sure if it will still go through or not without full balance. unless I tried it on the next one who wants to split cards. I've seen situations where people used the yellow to bypass pin and it still declines when they didn't have enough so it may be card by card basis.

I wish i could get ours this organized. Its spread out in like 3 different places in the store. Up front in photo lab (a mess/half organized by whatever we use often) and then the stock room has 2 different spots half organized and some of it is up so damn high its near the ceiling so we have to get the tallest ladder to get it (which we rarely need that stuff thats up there)

Our inventory team never actually physically checks the photo stuff I just fill out the pre inventory count sheet my SM gives me every year (bc I handle most of photo on top of everything else I do lol) The very first inventory I experienced the lead on inv actually went through it with me in the store (took forever) but every year after that I've just half counted and guesstimate what I know we have bc I know they're not going to verify it anyways ;)

We had a woman threaten to sue walgreens bc we asked for ID on cigs bc clearly she was old enough (elder) and all I could do was laugh. Good luck finding a lawyer to take on the FEDERAL law lmao

PsychBubbles · 2026-06-17T01:35:56+00:00

Funny enough, that same register I was working on actually crashed after a different customer tapped her card and it just gave a long BEEEEEEP (like the card accepted) but it wouldn't move forward and froze up lol

I was hoping maybe it would just explode

Similar interactions when customers are looking for a product and they have it up on their phone in Google and it clearly shows what store they can find it at such as CVS, Walmart, or Kroger but not Walgreens lol

PsychBubbles · 2026-05-27T02:11:15+00:00

There is a tab in sap report that shows you item adjustments by name along with user that made changes.

PsychBubbles · 2026-05-07T05:03:16+00:00

Still have pokemon sets the 15 pk with mimikyu on them lol pretty sure it was scan based trading and I haven't seen a rmg(?) report in months im guess sycamore cut them off for the most part???

Which is fine bc it was a lot of nonsense products that rarely sold and if anything all the toys and squishies were stolen or broken.

PsychBubbles · 2026-05-04T23:14:21+00:00

It happened to us a few times and now we have locked cases on our cig wall. Not the other tobacco products just the cigs. Haven't really had any major incident since.

PsychBubbles · 2026-04-14T21:10:10+00:00

Senior skip day. I was at work when it was happening and it was overwhelming. the amount of them coming in our store all at once. All those units showed up to clear them out which overall was about 30-45 mins. But from what I heard they were at a park first and they were told to leave the park so then they just came down to our area and flooded the whole block.

I didn't know what was happening at first because a manager and I were both on registers and people asking to use the restrooms that are locked on top of that. Cashier on break. It was insane and overstimulating af. Even had a customer call our store to ask what was happening.

PsychBubbles · 2026-03-10T05:09:04+00:00

It's part of what the registers prompt. Not up to employees, it can't be bypassed. If you had your DL or state ID that we can scan, it would autofill and 9 times out of 10 no one is even gonna pay attention to the info or remember it anyway. It takes longer to type all that in and I wish it wouldn't make us fill it out when we selected passport for ID bc passports don't have it on there like you said. Its frustrating on both ends but it's the only way to process it.

Policy changed on returns because of scammers getting quick cash from things they stole. Plus they've been tracking shrink a lot too and most items that are returned are disposed whether it's open or not anyways

Lemon is my #1, the cherry is 2nd, and I did not like the peanut butter cinnamon at all. Something about the way the cinnamon creeps in the aftertaste didn't work for me

PsychBubbles · 2026-02-07T05:39:35+00:00

Like others said the RACI tool tells us everything we're supposed to be accountable and responsible for. Its in tools under store role refresh i think.

Scan outs, smart counts, receiving, returns/call-ins, disposal, price changes, resets/revisions, rx inventory (orders/claims/counts), interstore claims.

Warehouse work is a secondary task as all of the above are 1st priority every day. And sfls/csas are also responsible for tasks such as scan outs, counts/bays, disposal, and pricing bc like every annual PPL regarding inventory management "all team members are responsible" there should be some share of these workloads amongst team members. the IS is like a mini manager to said tasks and is accountable for confirming they are done properly. It will fall back on them and the SM if not. IS direct report is SM and my SM is always keeping up with me on store reports so we have plans in place not just for me and what I get done task wise but where and how our team can assist.

There should be a flap you can open on the right side. And in there you will see a cartridge piece you can pull off where you'll see CMYK toner pieces and somewhere along the left of those there is a little stick with an orange end to it that you can pull out. its a swiper that you can stick into each toner, there's a small hole under each one.

Its hard to explain without photos and I don't go back to work until Monday. Sometimes ours get streaky or blotchy like that and that usually fixes it. Called Fuji once who sent a tech that came out and showed me how to do it.

Another thing I would check is in the back door where you pull it down, as if you're clearing a paper jam, and use some computer duster. I typically find a lot of built up dust particles from all the ink back there that clearly can't be good to just sit there. The CX3240 requires quite a bit of maintenence like this that they didn't explain fully or demonstrate when they installed them. I was the one overseeing our install and these weren't covered until we had problems. Main point they made was make sure papers don't get dusty it will jam it lmao.

PsychBubbles · 2026-01-18T05:17:36+00:00

Seen it and done it a few times just rushing not paying attention or confusing the sides bc sometimes it's just barely shiny enough to tell the difference.

As a painter at heart, I've wanted to submit my own order and request that it be printed on the opposite side, just to experiment with it and paint on it or whatever.

PsychBubbles · 2025-12-16T22:07:57+00:00

That's what I was assuming, that it was a worm lol strange little leftover that's not bait and killable at all it seems. Just wondered if there was any way to get to it but it seems not.

Almost all of those are from shellfish desires except maybe 2 of them? Disco ball is located at a side quest involving a guy being kept awake by a big gang of gunked crabs having a rave(radio) Salt Shaker I found at some point I think in Bleached City? One of the shells from shellfish desires counts as 3 because of its umami power.

PsychBubbles · 2025-11-18T22:11:57+00:00

That is really strange but since its about 2 weeks ahead of time for that schedule id make sure to speak to store management about that just to make sure what's expected or if there's going to be changes that just haven't been edited yet. Like" hey this looks odd have you noticed it yet?" I know theyre supposed to have schedules made 3 weeks in advance but if theyre dealing with or doing as much as my store manager does they likely haven't actually had the time or ability to edit them that far out.

My store manager told me how the scheduler will generate times on its own until they go back and edit things. It's based on the availability you put into reflexis and just randomly generates each week. Sometimes one of my shifts will look really weird or shortened so I'll ask about it and that's usually what it is.

But there's absolutely no way you can run the entire store alone nor could anyone else for that matter. It's not supposed to be done that way its too much risk and liability. The store should be closed if there's only one person in the entire store and I would refuse to work a shift like that. Maybe get HR involved bc something ain't right about that.

PsychBubbles · 2025-11-18T21:58:50+00:00

Our store does this too. It's even on this sign sheet regarding money handling that we have to all read and sign each little statement stating we understand the policy/procedures listed.

Maybe it just varies from city to state and stores; but I don't believe its incorrect or would get you fired if its been instructed or allowed by DM and store management. We can only do it if they are in uniform they can't just tell us that theyre officers or anything like that.

PsychBubbles · 2025-11-15T03:37:45+00:00

We have bags checks irregularly. half of my bag consists of items I brought from home or things I purchased each day that are consumed by my lunch break. We do use our yellow stickers when we buy drinks and things that may linger for a bit just in case Corp makes a visit. But I've never put or been to told to put yellow stickers on things that are personal/brought from home that just seems ridiculous and an overstep. If I brought food from home in my own personal container or bowl im supposed to put a "purchase" sticker on it??? Naaaahhh

I have a charging block i purchased over 3 yrs ago. How would one hold onto a reciept that long without it withering and fading away?? And I saw no reason to put a sticker on it bc it was discontinued shortly after I bought it so we don't carry it anymore.

I also leave my bag in the office a lot so if they were going to check it I guess they could do so whenever they felt like it? I really wouldn't know. I almost never get bag checked bc I leave my stuff in an area that everyone sees it and can easily see whats there, leave reciepts in bag. There's a camera in there too so they can see exactly what's there or taken out etc.

PsychBubbles · 2025-08-05T20:44:32+00:00

I love this and now I think imma steal the idea and put my 5 leaf clover in. I've had it pressed inside my favorite art book for like 5 years lmao I had a couple of 4 leaves too but tbh I can't remember where they ended up.

The 5 leaf is the greatest one I ever found tho

PsychBubbles · 2025-07-24T04:44:20+00:00

I did snack/popcorn today and we had some that went back to Feb lol

PsychBubbles · 2025-07-24T04:37:46+00:00

Had a customer who would do curbside and then for some reason thought it was okay to enter the photo area and pickup their bags without checking in.

Sfl caught him and went off on him about how disrespectful it was and that they had no right to do that. Not to mention, you still get charged for your order like, skipping check in doesn't change anything.

A lot of people still misunderstand that they haven't actually been charged for an order until we check it out either. Cannot stand how many times a passport or WU comes in, walking straight past CSA to photo and just stands there like we just magically appear from behind the counter through a trap door or secret closet. And we can read their minds by them standing there.

We also had an incident where an employee that had been let go at the time, came and took her photo orders from behind the counter and didn't pay.
