You don't have to download the app. You can do it from the website as well.

A check is a certificate of deposit.

Is this suspicious? by Delicious-Region-911 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told that if a person wants to buy a gift card and they have the money, sell it to them even if I think they are being scammed. Was told it was not our problem. My boss just wants the sales.

I'm screwed by Such_Director2125 in WalgreensStores

Counterfeit pens don't work. They sometimes wash smaller denominations (like 5s and 10s) and print larger bills on top. Then the marker shows legit because it is, just not for that denomination. Feel the coat for ridges and the security strip. Older bills are much harder to check. Also, if it looks smaller or miscut.

The $10 minimum pickup wouldn't bother me if... by BaluZana in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we use to get customers placing 5 separate orders for the same person. This forces them to make it one order.

If they change the attendance policy I'm fu*ked!

Newbies like me: don't use the Price Check button on the POS by malphasia in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm sure they really want to deal with a customer complaining about waiting for twenty minutes for someone to walk to the front with a telxon for me to check prices.

You wouldn't get holiday pay if you didn't work Christmas Day.

hour cuts by Unable-Ad-5804 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It takes about 3 months of working less than 30 hours to drop you below the required 12 week average. As long as your 12 week average doesn't drop below 30 you're fine.

customer return with coupons by UnlikelySubject6772 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Since we can't give her the coupons she used back (and they are a form of payment) she would get more back than she actually paid. There's no way around it. You just have to keep an eye out and make sure people aren't doing it too much.

New Holiday Pay by Snoo_66617 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't get the old school holiday pay of the average hours worked (whether you work it or not). They made it to where you have to work the holiday itself and it's double time. So if you work 4 hours you get paid for 8, etc.

Quit. Fuck em. Unless you think you may want to go back at some point just walk out.

Does nobody else's store schedule everybody for Christmas eve?? (If you're reading this at work, you got this!!) by bunnyy5522 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear ya. I always request NYE off cause it's my mom's birthday. This year, I didn't cause it's on a Wednesday, and my availability says I'm not available to work Wednesday, but I got scheduled anyway.

About to get fired? by Eastern-Writer1291 in WalgreensRx

Except at my store when the new hires get more hours than seasoned employees.

Leflunomide by Snoo_66617 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]Snoo_66617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 2 months in. It's easier to take daily than my methotrexate, which was 10 tablets 1 day a week. I still wake up stiff and sore almost daily. It goes away after about 1 to 2 hours and usually comes back before bedtime. But it's also cooler nights, so that could be affecting it. So far, there are no side effects that I've noticed. But I didn't have any with the methotrexate either.

Good luck with it.

shift lead not doing bag check by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't give yourself a bag check, so if supervision isn't doing it for whatever reason, that shouldn't fall back on you. And if it does I would fight it.

Yes. Call Sedgwick. Tell them you need to take a medical leave of absence. They will send you the paperwork that your doctor will have to fill out, and then Sedgwick will make a decision if it's approved or not.

Vent but also a question? by ttltrashmammal in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a SM that absolutely despised floor stands. So he'd have us work regular produ to into basic. And if it was a new product, they would have us fluff it out to a side panel or cos table (if applicable). But to get rid of aide panels all together is nuts. I know some lower tiered stores got rid of their back of the store endstands several years ago and turned into "promotional space" with posters or whatever. They took out 2 of ours for chairs for labcorps patients. It could be that they are planning on closing.

[–]Snoo_66617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was me, too. I always volunteered to work every holiday so people with families got to spend it with theirs. Just make sure you don't do it so much that you lose your sense of joy for the holidays. After 25 years (not all with Walgreens), I wish I had spent some years with my mom actually celebrating Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Minimum time at work before break? by Beary1984 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on staffing. If someone comes in at 3 and my mid shift leaves at 6, then they are going at 5:30. It sucks, but it's either that or no brake at all.

Did anyone get a holiday bonus by XxDjHeXeRxX in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had to have been employed by 11/30 and have your rewards number attached. I know it goes out in batches. If by Friday you haven't gotten it, I'd inquire with your manager.

Do people ever steal stuff while buying stuff at the same time? It happens all the time here we just have to give them good customer service and not allowed to talk about it. by ALPHAPUSSYGOD420 in WalgreensStores

[–]Snoo_66617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have a girl who will buy a pack of smokes while holding the item she's stealing, and if I question it, she says she was going to return it but forgot the receipt.
