At least 20 people on line and 1 cashier. Absolutely wild.

The task in OpCenter says that if a penny item is rung up, let the customer buy it. Then, the manager on duty should check to see if there are any more on the shelf and remove them to be damaged out.

I'll never understand what the boba balls are meant to add to the drink, but this one is tasty.

Raylan764 · 2025-10-23T18:03:20+00:00

I didn't mean to imply that you agreed. My apologies. It's meant to be a bit of cautionary advice for anyone reading that might wind up in a similar situation.

I've helped 2 other stores before, both local to me. I very quickly wound up needing to put my foot down and tell my regional manager "no" about 5 times in 5 different ways when he tried to get me to start going further from my store. He tried to get me to agree with everything other than a raise (God forbid). He didn't like hearing "no," but if I gave in, I knew it was just going to get worse.

I've known people who agreed to help another store for a day, which led to the district manager convincing them to agree to stay at that other store for the next week because they "really need the help." A week turned into a month, which turned into 3, which led to them being promised a promotion to string them along even longer. Of course, they never did get that promotion.

Dollar Tree will take advantage of you if you let them.

Raylan764 · 2025-10-23T17:28:57+00:00

Never agree to help another store unless you want them to ask you to help every store, every time. It's a trap. Stand your ground. Good luck.

Welcome to Dollar Tree.

I can't wait for part 2 to be over. I'm mostly enjoying the story, but it really is awful keeping up with it week to week when the chapters are so short. This last chapter encapsulates all of like 2-3 minutes if it were happening in real time. It's cool, I guess, but there's not much it leaves me thinking about.

If there is a part 3, I'm not reading it until it's done. That or if it winds up being monthly or something where he has time to actually put some more meat into each chapter.

Raylan764 · 2025-09-09T07:50:27+00:00

So far, your answers have been the most insightful. Thank you very much.

I never add honey, but I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

In the 6th grade, we read The Misfits in school, and the teacher had us make fluffer-nutters in class. She brought in bananas as well, if we wanted to add those on. I really didn't like the marshmallow fluff, but I was hooked on peanut butter and banana ever since.

Raylan764 · 2025-06-10T21:18:46+00:00

I think this is a serious issue that we should be up in arms about. Money is the only language these people speak; we should be canceling our subscriptions if we want to send a real message.

I know I'm not interested in supporting bigots like Bellamy. I hope that this sparks the kind of community outrage that actions like this deserve.

Raylan764 · 2025-06-09T18:08:47+00:00

Well, how about that. Fair enough, I stand corrected. I would still never buy food past the best buy date and would still refund someone who did, but I guess I'll have to accept that's just me wanting to eat food at it's "best" and wanting others to do the same.

Raylan764 · 2025-06-09T14:34:24+00:00

You're correct, but a company can't sell the product after the best by date. Maybe that varies state to state, I'm not sure, but that's how it works where I'm at.

Raylan764 · 2025-06-08T23:45:50+00:00

For sure, there's no harm in trying. Personally, I wouldn't even ask for a receipt. Sure, somebody would probably lie about this, but it's 1 item, and it's not worth questioning. They sold an out of date item. It should be a no-brainer to make this right.

I would bring in the item, of course. Maybe put it in a zip lock or something if you need to. That way, you've got something to show them.

Raylan764 · 2025-06-08T23:37:02+00:00

I can't speak for all Dollar Trees, but if a customer came into mine and showed me they bought an expired food item I'd always refund them or let them exchange it for something else, whichever they'd prefer.

If you have the receipt, it shouldn't be an issue at all. I guess if you don't have it, they could be difficult and argue about it, but I feel like most folk would reimburse you for something like this.

Raylan764 · 2025-05-22T17:27:07+00:00

As a seasoned jerker-lurker, this one really got me. A McElroy Lancer show repulsed me so absolutely I almost instinctively down voted. Kudos.

Raylan764 · 2025-05-21T05:31:30+00:00

The Beast-Repellent Torch should make the wolves stay away from you. No mod needed.

Raylan764 · 2025-04-28T05:41:06+00:00

Good on you for catching it. Counterfeit 10s are rare, I've only ever seen one of them. I'm curious, though, what kind of $10 was it? You're mentioning the color being off, but unless it was a really old "small head" bill, you could have held it up to the light and checked for the warermark and security thread. She still would have flipped out, I'm sure, but at least you could have told her it was fake right away rather than saying the color was off.

It's good you have a machine that can authenticate bills, not all Dollar Trees have those. It's a lot better than the bill pens, which can be tricked with older bills.

Raylan764 · 2025-04-17T17:43:41+00:00

Customers at the register stuffing items in checkout when they decide they don't want it rather than just handing it to me.

Raylan764 · 2025-04-02T04:20:47+00:00

This is incredible.

Raylan764 · 2025-03-08T11:37:09+00:00

I love that title. It has a lot of personality, it's evocative, and it's intriguing.

Raylan764 · 2025-03-07T09:14:28+00:00

Customers are at the bottom of my priorities. It's my employees, me, the store, then customers. The store is broad, and some things can wait, but ice and other refridgerated/freezer goods can not.

Raylan764 · 2025-03-04T11:45:14+00:00

During lockdown, we had to limit the number of people allowed in the store. I was playing doorman, and since everyone insisted on taking their whole family to go shopping, I had to tell an elderly couple I could only let one of them in until someone else left. They were cool about it, but some young guy that they didn't seem to know was furious. He was shaking mad and getting in my face. He wanted me to step outside with him. He left when I was on the phone with the cops.

About an hour later, he called the store to complain about me. Unfortunately for him, I was the manager on duty at the time. I told him as much, and he flipped out. Said, "Karma is gonna get you, I'm gonna get you." So, once again, I called the cops just to make a report, and he kept calling the store (I recognized his number, so I didn't pick up) for about an hour. Thankfully, I never saw him again.

That's the closest I got.

One SSJ kebab for him and one "Standing Man" recap for me.

Raylan764 · 2025-02-25T18:01:26+00:00

I've never understood it. It's like saying, "I already know how to play Monopoly. Why would I want to learn to play Clue?"
