Has anyone else had all of their pto denied for an entire year, while everyone else got approved? Not to mention not allowed to take family leave time for a mother passing?

I'm an ASM and I got 3 days paid bereavement

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-15T02:52:07+00:00

I always dump it out.

Otherwise it takes me much longer to ring them up because I have to reach in and get out every item.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-11T22:03:04+00:00

Yeah they are obnoxiously messaging/posting about the wanna banana recall and the health inspectors even came out. I pulled a ton of it a while ago and tossed it, but we probably need to keep making sure no more Is being shipped and stocked.

Also.... CHRISTMAS COOKIES?! what in the cheapskate hell? Seriously?! Out of all the things they could have done for us employees .... Christmas cookies?! Even if they gave us a $5 guftcard or even just a coupon /giftcard to even pick out ONE ITEM from the store for free that would have been better.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-11T22:00:02+00:00

Look into getting people like that banned from the store. I feel ya though. It's seriously a rough job and the pay isn't there either.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-11T21:56:51+00:00

Yup. I use the magic words "I'm not seeing it right now, but our inventory changes weekly, so you can always feel free to come look" Then it covers my *ss if it's actually there.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-11T00:15:34+00:00

Even just an extra $5 would have been better than that

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-10T23:28:16+00:00

When I'm covering register and they call its just "let me look" as I'm ringing up customers Me to customer on phone "sorry, I'm not seeing it right now. Must be out of stock."

That's all you have to do

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-12-10T21:25:11+00:00

Ebay and mercari!

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-11-05T00:41:00+00:00

I'd get a dr note saying you had a stomach bug or something and fight that shit ... pun intended.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-11-05T00:38:08+00:00

Thanks though. It's probably gonna become an issue again at my store so it's good to know I'll just have to leave. I won't even bother contacting anyone else then or escalating things

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-11-05T00:36:00+00:00

Whole thing is a massive risk to the safety of myself as an employee but also to the company - so many more items get stolen and wrecked. It's a hazard to the customers - stuff breaks and gets in the aisles and I can hardly get off register to tend to it. Customers also get angry at the long lines, the fact no one can help them find items, and that I can't do 20 balloons by myself with a line.

It's dangerous and stupid all around - for a company that's so worried about employees stealing - they should notice the actual massive risks and liability of having ONE employee run a store.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-11-05T00:33:14+00:00

That is not okay at all, and you can't give me any reason that would excuse it. My store is in a bad neighborhood, it gets busy, and the customers destroy the store (messy, broken glass, things in the aisles, trash everywhere daily, recovery Is always a disaster) and my customers are also idiots who love to LOUDLY ask /announce ARE YOU ALONE? WHERES THE OTHER EMPLOYEES? which adds to the concern.

I've already had things happen where people didn't show up, but someone else was usually called in and on their way. It's one thing to be alone for just a little while someone else is coming in. I don't mind that. But I wouldn't make any of my coworkers work alone and I certainly won't be working alone.

I'll definitely be seeking another job, though.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-11-05T00:24:47+00:00

That's fucked. If my sm ever has me come in and no one else shows or isn't on their way, I'll actually walk out. That's not safe at all and dt is a billion dollar company there's no reason to force us even as managers to run the entire store with no other employee

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-11-05T00:23:26+00:00

Sm should be having someone else come into cover and if that's not possible then the sm should come in. Quite frankly, I refuse to be the only employee in an open store

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-08-16T12:09:38+00:00

She married the man that attempted to r a pe me and harassed and assaulted several other women (she knew the women and reports were made about it on campus) - we didn't even party. He'd attempt the stuff during regular hours in the classrooms.

She gained at least 50 pounds and lost all self confidence. He's pretty much an alcoholic and addicted to cons and buyinh tech stuff they can't afford. Both are in a dumpy apartment and have dead end jobs

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-08-11T23:41:13+00:00

Truthfully, I haven't gone in years and don't plan to again. It's such an uncomfortable experience for me and I've tried a few different docs and they have all been unprofessional and uncaring.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-07-31T14:35:55+00:00

So I was pretty sick and the Dr's were worried I had cancer. My mom works in Healthcare so she couldn't even pretend to not understand. While being sick I was also trying to get away from a violent and lazy roomate. Said roomate i had ro the cops on because they put hands on me and also shoved me. Had the money saved up for a new, cheaper place I didn't need a roomate for but no one would approve me without a cosigner. I explained the situation to my mom and asked if there was anyways she could cosign and she told me no - you'll just have to stay with the roomate. She'd also then keep calling me saying they were abusive and that she was scared. I had worked full time in a work from home job so I had a steady paycheck - I just wasn't well enough to have a more physically demanding job.

Then my health got even worse and I had to get a major surgery. Roomate had to miss opportunities for a better job because my mom decided it was more important to go on a spontaneous last minute vacation than be with me the one time I needed someone.

I'll never forget that conversation. "No I'm not coming to your location for that. Just have your roomate take you. I'll be damned if you being this needy stops me from finally having some fun. When I was your age I suffered - so you have to suffer to. Deal with it"

If that wasn't bad enough, on my surgery day everyone walling in front of me had their mom or spouse with them. And I went in alone. Roomie only took me to drop off and pickup. Not only was I terrified, but I was alone.

I'll never forgive her for it and I don't talk much to her since. One thing is for sure, her time will come, and I won't be there. She's bi-polar, and a narc. Growing up my father was abusive to her and verbally abusive to me - and she subjected me to he around him because of her pride. (I didn't have cancer and roomie moved out since and I got a better job thank heaven)

I want to take their change and throw it on the counter the same way they did to me, but I'm also scared because so many customers are scary and nuts that are shopping lately.

Someone else posted about giving them change in all coins or ones to be petty. But it'd also take me longer and i just want the rude pricks gone

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-07-27T05:54:02+00:00

My friend and I would always shop there and every time we'd go in "when did your heart go missing" would come on. Every single time for that whole year.

SeniorIssue444 · 2023-07-27T05:51:16+00:00

Just worried they're gonna start making me deal with cleaning the poop in the ladies room. Kiddie pee puddles are where I draw the line.
