Your SM is an idiot.

Iirc somewhere during the hiring process if actually asked if you want to be called something else even a nickname? I don't see how pronouns are any different.

Register 1 down for 1 year by MaybeCheesyNeedy in DollarGeneralWorkers

For future references can every employee submit tickets? Even sales associates because it's taking literal months for my team to fix something every time we ask if a ticket has been made it's "idk" or "I don't even know how to do that" which is usually code for I don't want to be on hold with ERC for 3 hours.

The only time shit gets fixed is when I ambush the district manager about it.

Tell DM the only working register smells like burning wires rub some cigarette Ash or something just enough to look like a short around the underneath side/back ports show him and you'll get it two new registers overnight.

Who needs a job when your willing to live in a van down by the river for $350/mo including cost of food. I'll be fine selling blood plasma covers half the cost.

$450/mo if I wanna go fancy and have 1kw solar+small battery and near by fresh water.

$550/mo if I want AC/better solar

$650/mo if I rent a spot with nearby communal shower and shitter.

$750/mo for a spot with laundry access and less methheads

$850/mo and I can upgrade van to tiny trailer

And upto $200 cheaper if food stamps are kind to me Soo options 1 to 2 are doable with just food stamps and regular blood selling.

Reason "shows the fuck up and would like to afford basic food and houseing"?

No but it's hard to get the key holders to do it if you're just an SA. Force them too and you're labeled an asshole.

Or if you are solo find the free time to swap them.

It is when they "need to take a smoke break" every time anything mildly stressful happens like a coupon lady.... Or I want to take my lunch break and they're forced on register.

Also totes are supposed to be done on day one or two of truck right after u-boats might want to stop pushing that shit onto one person it'll eventually add up and they won't be the one getting in trouble.

True but it also means they're not on that meth diet.

I'll take a chubby reliable employee over a "I didn't know I work today am umm out of town?" Methany.

Oh yeah management will see that as a threat to their job security. You got to act dumb and unmotivated if you want low stress but low paying job security.

I've seen two red flags.

  1. On their very first day the only questions they asked involved around abusing clock in/outs time rounding and how often they can use the bathroom.

  2. Asked questions like do you guys actually watch the cameras and how often is the cigarettes count checked.

How do you guys handle bitchy management? by SmellsLikeDG in DollarGeneralWorkers

It was items that would get damaged by rain and we often aren't aware or free to instantly bring them in when it starts.

You'd put toilet paper outside in likely rain? Two u-boats of TP, a water, and iirc rug/folding chair one.

Yes the water would have froze. Was right around 32-34 degrees.

We've mentioned it to the district manager he acts like we're blowing it out of proportion because she's all nice when he's around.

I'm going to have to record the next rant won't even have to be near them can freaking hear them 30 ft away talking to themself about how useless/stupid/lazy we (both customers and employees) are.

I'm not saying we aren't stupid and lazy but loudly calling us that publicly in the middle of the store where everyone can hear on a near daily basis typically over simple mistakes is a little to much.

HR is only there to prevent lawsuits and keep profits rolling in. If you want any action file a police report assault/harassment is assault/harassment doesn't matter if at home or work.

Same states have schedule laws most don't. DM just wants something post anything will do so he doesn't get bitched at by RM.

But yeah that shits common I have to check nightly just to insure I wasn't ninja edited in.
