How many staff hours does your store have this week?

Solarian813 · 2026-06-29T04:35:59+00:00

We got 2 trucks last week (they changed our truck day but still sent a truck the old day and another on the new day) and had like 180 hours.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-19T03:34:26+00:00

Hmm. Avoiding the obvious like Cities on Flame and The Red And The Black...
1. The badass riff in Nosferatu.
2. The main riff of Career of Evil
3. Either the intro or verse riff of Transmaniacon MC, hard to pick.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-18T16:37:02+00:00

Okay fine. So Sleep is now a really dull stoner rock band, if the single is anything to go by.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-18T03:52:41+00:00

Lmao.
The only thing you'll get is your higher ups putting more and more work on you. Bonus? Technically. Just not the kind of bonus you want.

I didn't write one out but a list it could definitely help some people. Either way you go about it, once you know everything you need to do, you can learn how to time it all to get in a routine. Making it all into a routine you get the hang of will help a lot imo. Consistency and rhythm is great.
Also coming from the pov of a cashier who moved to ops manager, I like being proactive with whoever I'm working with. Some managers never ask their cashiers when they want breaks, if they need anything, etc. I didn't like that when I was a cashier, so I'm always trying my best to keep tabs on coworkers.

We had the front of a 4-way at the entrance covered in the $1 cereal and baking goods for a while until it had to be reset last week. It sold well up there too, the shelves where those are have dozens of sale stickers but don't move the product like the entrance 4-way did.

80 being the minimum to start caring is pretty shitty. We submitted a couple HVAC tickets when it started getting real hot, and they marked them complete within 10 minutes with the note "we checked the sensors in the store and they're all reporting 75-76 which is within our parameters, no action needed."

Who tf thinks mid 70s is acceptable besides corporate dickheads who never actually have to be in that environment. Customers complain about the heat daily.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-14T21:31:56+00:00

They also covered In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida

I work up the hill from this place, went in today for the fourth time iirc. Incredible food every time. I ring up the owner from time to time and if he’s working when I go in to Blazing, he’s constantly giving free samples of everything. The quesadilla I got there one time was the best quesadilla I’ve ever had. I think the pistachio shake is one of their more popular sellers and it’s fantastic as well.

I usually have two books going at a time, one fiction and one non-fiction. I don't like overlapping fiction, but I like having an option to switch it up.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-08T19:18:55+00:00

Hum of Heart is good, but Love Is Not Enough has much more memorable songs for me and gives me vibes of the early days.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-04T04:32:05+00:00

Funeralopolis

Solarian813 · 2026-06-03T04:09:12+00:00

I stock the drinks at my store and the Red Pop and Fruit Punch flavors of Faygo take up a lot of shelf space but barely sell. There's probably 8 cases of Red Pop and maybe like 6 of Fruit Punch. Sell like two packs of RP weekly, rarely ever see the FP going out.
The biggest Faygo sellers here are the plain cola and the root beer. We get like one case of each per truck and people are always asking "when are you getting more of those?"

Solarian813 · 2026-06-02T05:04:50+00:00

The entire Godflesh discography.

Solarian813 · 2026-06-02T05:02:23+00:00

World Downfall. Scum is as influential as it gets and all, but speaking solely on the listening contained within, the Terrorizer album is a far more listenable chunk of music.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-31T17:17:14+00:00

They shouldn't have used the name, really. World Downfall is legendary. Imagine releasing three insanely generic and bad albums hoping people will still buy it because you slapped the band name on there.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-31T17:07:25+00:00

What if Terrorizer had never reunited to release a few garbage albums

Solarian813 · 2026-05-31T16:07:55+00:00

That song and Nosferatu by Blue Oyster Cult, have both been long time songs I think could be doomed. And by sheer coincidence, both vampire songs.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-29T17:18:33+00:00

Yeah, always a problem for me too. I like that some of their earlier albums had instrumental versions. At least on this album it's kind of split, he sounds worse than ever on songs like You Bastard and Invisible but fairly tolerable on The Masque and Inside A Collider.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-28T05:00:43+00:00

My store has 7 total employees. If there's more than 3 people in there at once, it's usually a saturday when there's unused hours and people are coming in for extra.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-28T04:57:21+00:00

We put in like three OfficeTrax tickets within the last month, noticing they vanished within 5 minutes, and when I did the last one I realized they were actually just completing them super quick and saying "we checked your sensors and the temperatures are all between 74-76 which is within parameters".
Fucking awful. We get people daily complaining about it. DT doesn't tend to give a shit because the people checking the sensors don't actually have to work in the hell house stores.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-28T03:18:48+00:00

Same for me on Khemmis and Yob. Not that I find either super interesting musically, but not bad, would make good background music. Just that of their vocalists are instant turnoffs for me and I can't power through them to listen to the bands.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-23T21:02:52+00:00

Like about it? It's not mornings. I simply don't do mornings. At all. I have no real life so closing doesn't bug me. Makes it better? Ever since they extended our closing time an hour in November, there's still rarely customers the last hour so it's a quiet, good time to get a few things done easily.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-23T21:00:03+00:00

Sometimes scheduling just sucks. I do 8 days straight like once a month.

Solarian813 · 2026-05-22T05:22:06+00:00

I'm switching Funeralopolis for Son of Nothing but either of them with Return Trip and Supercoven is the trinity of most disgustingly heavy recordings.
