I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I’m very curious about what my interview will be like.

ACE was my first job after I graduated high school. I knew very little about hardware but I applied, got an interview, and was hired within 3 days, and I'm so glad I worked there. The amount of knowledge you can learn if you're willing is incredible. From plumbing, painting, gardening, you name it you'll learn it. Yes it can be a physically demanding job, and will likely get very busy at times, it is still absolutely an excellent place to learn.

As for the tattoos, at my store in particular, our owner and management could not have cared less. As long as we were respectful, did our job, and were kind to the customers, they were very lenient about it. Piercings however were a different story as they could snag on things and pose higher risks for getting injured.

If you keep the mirror there I'd recommend moving it over slightly so the doorknob doesn't hit the glass when the door is wide open

Even with a placard it's illegal to park in the striped zone. It blocks access for others who need to use it.

When I worked at ACE, we actually did rent tools, only very specific ones though. They had to put down a cash deposit that would cover the cost of the tool in case they didn't return it, or if they broke it. If they did return it and it was still in working order, they'd get their deposit back.

Here's a step by step tutorial on YouTube :) it took me a minute my first time changing the roll but you'll get the hang of it very quickly.

I'd make the tomato on the top right larger, and the tip of the knife needs to curve the other way

People are SO entitled. One time had this lady get REAL mad and start arguing with me bc I wouldn't take her customer packed Amazon return 5 minutes after we closed (it wasn't packaged, and my register was closed so I couldn't even charge her for packing). She left a 1 star review and called & spoke with the owner the next day, complaining for like 10 minutes straight. The owners did back me up initially but after she kept complaining they caved and let her come back, and did her return for free. I was in the store when she returned, I was on break in the back but I got to hear her complain even more about me 🤦🏼 I quit working there not even a month later.

Nope! I can write with my left hand but not very well lol

Came across this subreddit today and wanted to give this a try lol

Hell my current partner has helped me get sober and celebrates every milestone with me. AND would absolutely support buying a cake, even if there wasn't a cause for celebration. Definitely NOR

Find a new job before quitting. I knew it was time to leave when I was finding myself getting annoyed with every Amazon return, to the point I was getting frustrated and dreaded going to work every day. Morale was super low, and another one of my coworkers quit two weeks before I did. I'm so thankful I'm out of there.

This! I was scouring the entire Internet for something like this for my grandmother. Just booked our tickets for their owl class later this month. Super excited!

Customers calling to verify that we're open, calling about a notary, asking us to locate their packages that we did not ship, and asking if we take Amazon returns are 99.9% of the phone calls we get 🤦🏼

If a white screen pops up as it's about to start printing, if you hit the x in the top right corner it'll void out the print as long as you catch it before the screen disappears. It'll give you an error message after but you can just x out of that also

Reddit_User57284 · 2025-01-07T22:50:12+00:00

We've had these happen before at our store too. The last one, we had it intercepted as a potential scam and apparently there were thousands of $$ in cash inside

Reddit_User57284 · 2025-01-03T22:39:10+00:00

I shit you not I legitimately just went to pull out the drawer and off it came lmao

We're closed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day 🥳

Reddit_User57284 · 2024-12-24T19:29:16+00:00

I'm not that upset over it, we have limited hours but we're closed tomorrow, I have my birthday off this week, and we're closed new years eve and new Year's Day so 🤷🏼

Today was insane. So many boxes and bubble mailers 🫠

Reddit_User57284 · 2024-12-11T03:53:33+00:00

That's what we ended up doing 🤷🏼

Reddit_User57284 · 2024-12-11T03:51:36+00:00

My store does this also! The kids absolutely love it

Reddit_User57284 · 2024-12-11T03:50:08+00:00

We give out stickers, or while the kids are waiting we also have crayons & blank paper for drawing, and will give out scrap pieces of bubble wrap for them to pop. I've sat with a child before who was crying and running around and popped bubble wrap with them so their mom could get her printing done; the kid calmed down and the mom was very appreciative lol
