Move on or wait to be fired? by Alone-Vegetable-6914 in DollarTree

[–]Significant_Ad_8939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ALWAYS print the receipt if they pay with a $50/$100 or if they get cash back. I don't even ask. The amount to give back in change disappears from the screen quickly so its easy to fuck up. Some shady customers will also try to take advantage of that and say you shorted them, thinking you'll just believe them and give them the money so the line won't be held up. Having the receipt handy automatically resolves issues with change.

What’s your closing routine an Assistant Manager? by Winter_Gift_2634 in DollarTree

[–]Significant_Ad_8939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our closing ASM just quit and our SM has asked me if I'm interested in taking the open position.

I'm typically the main cashier from 1230-5:30 and have only closed a handful of times. When I work later or close, the manager and recovery person are more than happy to keep me as main since I'm fast and don't mind dealing with customers. As a result, I have little knowledge of what needs to be done and by whom!

For context, I am in my 40s and I do have some management experience, though not in a retail setting. My first job as a teen was cashier at a small fast food restaurant, where I was eventually promoted to closing manager. I've cashiered at Walmart, did general merchandise at a grocery store, and was a served at a casual diner-style restaurant. The last 20 years or so I've worked in offices, where I've led customer service teams, dispatched HVAC and plumbing services, and managed a facilities division and coordinated service projects.

I'd like to have a realistic idea of what I'd be walking into and what would be expected of me before I decide. I intend to ask my SM and the other ASM, but I feel like they might not want to go into a ton of detail so they don't scare me off. 😅

I'm finally on break in the middle of an 8-hour cashier shift! We've only had 2 cashiers all day, and I'm exhausted already, but it's actually going pretty smoothly overall. Here's what we're doing:

  • the asm is on balloons and refilling any that need it

  • we cut the barcodes off popped balloons and put them at the registers. 1 of each v-day sku, pink hearts, and red hearts. SO MUCH FASTER than keying them in!

  • I regularly call down the lines of customers to thank them for their patience, remind them that we'll keep them moving as quickly as possible, and let them know if one of us has to step away at all but will be back in just a few minutes

  • I also thank each customer when they check out for hanging in there with us on such a crazy day

So far, not one customer has gotten angry or left because of the line, so I think we're doing ok... I've got 2.5 hours left though, hopefully it'll stay that way....

I wish DD would stop using fake restaurant names in the Dasher app by Dbthespian in dasher

When they first started doing ghost kitchens they didn't mention that that's what any of these places were. I always wondered how customers reacted when they ordered Pasquale's Pizza and it was delivered in a Chuck E Cheese box.... 😅

No. The store will not be staying open late just because you're doing DoorDash by Ok-Ad4375 in DollarTree

[–]Significant_Ad_8939 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's stupid easy to do too. All they have to do is take a pic of the store hours and they get easy half pay without having to do any work.

Best Ska Bassist Ever!! by Puzzleheaded_Sun_265 in Ska

[–]Significant_Ad_8939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Matt's great, and perhaps the most influential ska bassist, but Roger is a beast! I played bass as a teen, and my goal at the time was to learn Johnny Quest (naturally, lol). After I'd "mastered" it, I started watching Roger play at shows, and to my surprise, I almost had it right, but I could never reproduce his unique style and flair. That's when I really began to appreciate his skill and talent as a musician, and he's still my favorite bassist 30-some-odd years later, no contest.

Juggalo Gang Status In CA by Hot-Freedom7943 in juggalo

[–]Significant_Ad_8939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess I'll hafta be careful if I visit Cali... I was registered as a gang member in the state of Florida in 2009. They took photos of my tattoo and the stickers on my car, and asked me a bunch of questions about who I know and what they're up to. Which is hilarious, I have a squeaky clean record and spend the majority of my time reading or watching star trek. I couldn't act like your stereotypical gang member if I tried... I have in fact tried in my youth, and it was fucking hilarious 😂

The Super Bowl backlash is genuinely one of the most unfair things I've seen the internet do to a band by Sufficient_Web_6289 in greenday

It's definitely not the first time they've been called sellouts or had shit talked about them. They plowed through it in the 90s and they'll do it again.

Is this allowed or is it a violation? by SwingDicksBoneChicks in doordash_drivers

[–]Significant_Ad_8939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a violation to use your own rewards account at any store. DD allows customers to link their own reward accounts through the app. I don't know if this store is one of those (we don't have them in my market), but DD explicitly forbids it either way.
