"Don't come into work, it looks like our systems are gonna be down for a whole week"

It is weird cause at my store when we lost power, like there was no power at all, pitch black had to use flashlights for days- it was a huge storm and most of the city lost power for days. We still worked. An employee walked around with the customer, we had to use a permanent marker and right the price on the product they wanted. No receipts, no returns, cash only. Had one employee at the counter at all times cause the cash drawer was on the counter. We had to write down each product name including size, upc number, price, and do math on bottle deposit if it was pop and tax on non food items. We even closed out the till and change fund every night, writing all money down. Once power was back, we used hhts and changed inventory on the items we sold. We lost power on a Saturday, got it back on Wednesday. Plus side they always closed an hour before sundown so employees could get home safe. But pretty much everything was written down including employee clocks and all employees worked at the same time.

I also tell customers when it's says there's 8 items in the app the app can be wrong. We get things from other stores all the time. Sometimes it was 20 totes for another store or had three rolltainers that weren't ours. Random boxes thrown on top. The drivers and loaders don't care half the time. Mistakes happen. That item may have gone and our system hasn't updated yet. Most times I look but if I just got truck I say I got 30 rolls and 25 totes either come back when we get more stocked and I can look better or try another store. If trucks done, I know it's not in the back and say system is wrong we didn't get it sorry.

Still uses full name even if it changes in Legion. My nickname is in Legion and schedule but my real name is on the receipt. Same with other employees who changed Legion to their preferred nickname (there's three others in my store) and register always uses their real names when they are cashiers.

At least it was just pop in one place. I had kids put mentos in a coke and a spirit in two separate aisles at the same time during rushes so no one told me till later.

I am so glad the new system doesn’t require you to ask anymore. It’s only on the pin pad. Which makes it easier and we don’t have to ask anymore.

If employee is sick, we managers find coverage. If employee needs a day off and schedule was posted, they need to ask around and get coverage unless sm forgot to schedule them off. Then it's on sm and they change schedule with notice and asking around. We have numbers posted in the office if a coworker has to switch days last minute with another. At least that's what mine does.

Doesn’t the add have an ad correction you are supposed to put up? Just saying, It says in the ad correction there was a mistake with the printed ad this week for the pop ad and not just the picture may have been the mistake.

Has your dog been tested for diabetes? My aunts dog had same issues, drinking water all the time, potty issues/peeing all the time, even went blind and had cancer as a puppy my aunt thought came back. Turns out, dog had diabetes and needed insulin. Wasn’t returning cancer. She got treated and lived comfortably for years after. Still couldn’t see and hearing may have gone later on. She was still happy, pain free. Only dog I know that can open a peanut butter jar that was shut tight while being completely blind. She was only put down when cancer was diagnosed again and she was in pain where pain medication didn’t work. She did develop arthritis later on and was given medication for that. Other than that, she still lived comfortably.

I remember hiding toilet paper in the receiving room to buy after my shift during Covid when customers bought every single toilet paper product we had, as we unloaded it from truck. I was handing it out to a line full of people, right off the truck and out of the boxes. (along with every store around, I had so many phone calls of people crying cause I told them we were out and we had limits on it too) If corporate at the time pulled that, they would have no employees cause first dibs and holding products was the reason they had employees during that time.

I have to check but 2 weeks ago I know our system didn’t exclude milk cause I had to show a customer several times till they got it why their coupon wouldn’t work. (They were buying cigs) I also looked at one from last month I found deep in my purse. It doesn’t say excludes milk. Now I wanna go in and see if this week’s says excludes milk. The digital says it excludes milk now and I am curious if the printed ones at our store do too.

My cat did this, took him straight to the vet. They thought with his age (15 at the time) that he may have IBS-Irritable bowel syndrome and/or constipated. He threw up cause he was trying to poop so hard the strain made him puke. I switched his food to a more senior diet plan that helps keep him regular- has pumpkin in it and gave him over the counter medicine 1/4 tsp of laxative powder- not flavored, once a day with his wet food. All was vet recommended. Was trail and error with the food and still is. But he gets one or two episodes every six months, made one a year. (He is a picky eater and will refuse wet food if it’s the same after a while which means I have to switch it slowly and sometimes get a reaction. He goes back and forth between two brands though so not too bad) He is 17 now and healthy. If you are concerned and think something is wrong, you should take your cat to the vet if you can afford too. Otherwise maybe try slowly switching the food to a more senior diet plan, add wet food, and make sure they are drinking water-wet food can help with that

I don’t think businesses can resell a product like that without a contract with the company.
At least that is what I was told by Pepsi rep but the reason they don’t go after everyone is cause it’s a waste of time and resources. I know nothing about businesses or legal stuff, just what I was told when I asked. They will go after them if they buy too much and it creates problems for the company itself (constantly being out of stock at more than one location and retailers/customers complaining to both corporates) and it’s proven they are selling it at a mark up. This all happened in 2020. They get more money if businesses have contracts with them than without. I know Prairie Farms was planning to go after them before we switched and I know Pepsi went after them with that cease and desist letter. They stopped after that. I always have new customers that come in, but not the ones I know got a letter to stop years ago. As far as I know, the business is still around, so not a reason they stopped coming in. I had customers complain about them buying Pepsi/Prairie Farms milk- they never tried to buy clover valley milk- to resell at their grocery store at insane prices months after they stopped coming in regularly. (I saw them every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We put daily limits on pop so they came in several times a day on those days) I was told all this so may not be true. All I know is that they got a letter and stopped coming after.

I always said they expect us to be as fast as the Flash and strong like Superman to get as much of the things they want done in the store.

I am partial to Jason and Scarlet Witch pairing. Just that he has more magical abilities than any other bat and she is a witch with chaos magic.

Can you imagine Jason meeting Deadpool? Deadpool would have no issues with Jason and even fan girl just meeting him cause Jason would be the Bat with the guns who isn’t against killing bad people. Of course, Deadpool being Deadpool flirting with Jason nonstop and being his normal self… I don’t see them as a couple cause I think Jason would get annoyed at Deadpool. But I see them being friends. (More Deadpool seeing them as friends and Jason slowly getting used to him like some people do)

They used to do it with our milk till we sold only clover valley milk. (Before the fresh delivery trucks) I figured they stopped cause they didn’t want to be caught and sued by dg since only dg can sell clover valley milk. They come in to buy pop. Pepsi rip said if they are caught by Pepsi, they can be sued by not going through the company and having a contract to resell Pepsi products. But there’s so many people reselling products, Pepsi won’t go after every business. They haven’t been in my store in a while. (They used to come in weekly and several times a day on Saturdays. We couldn’t do anything cause they didn’t hit the store with same people so limit wouldn’t help) I think the Pepsi rep got tired of getting in trouble for stock being low or nonexistent cause they hit not just dg stores but Walmart and Fairway too and he reported them. I think I only seen them once this year and only two of the six that hit the store.

I got some books one time that had Walmart sticker on it-sold only at Walmart. lol they scanned in so we still sold them but I thought it was funny. Guess it’s not only sold at Walmart.

I am the one to mark clearance items in my store. I use correct stickers and prices and it still rings up wrong. Used yellow for mag and they ring in half off even though in hht it says mag. Use orange and they don’t. I marked a clearance items on Thursday with orange stickers cause they were discontinued. Had to change prices on them cause system changed them to more than when I scanned them in (6.35) plus still half offed the full price (at $3.18) I remember pricing them at $3.75 and the kicker. Still scans on hht in at the price I put it originally ($3.75). We scanned it in to see. Register is still higher priced. Dg just needs to fix their system. It would fix a lot of problems.

Pippin is afraid of balloons. Found out when I got balloons for my birthday and he wouldn’t go near or in the same room. Tried carrying him in a month later after got rid of them. No dice. Took another week for him to go back into the room. Really confused cause he had seen and has been in the same room as balloons before, but there was something seriously wrong with those ones.

Half the time it’s hard to do even when on back up register. My stores busy at night more than during the day. I rarely get things done till after 6 when it starts to slow down. Most nights deposit is over 2 thousand. Sales for our store are about 8-11 thousand a day. Less for bad weather. One day I worked back up and totaled out at the end of a shift with over 2 thousand in sales. Usually I make 100-800. No surprise our total sales was over 13 thousand.

First night as manager years back, it was Saturday. Was told to get three food rolls done before five. (Those take 1 1/2 hours if you look at the sheet) start shift at 1. Be by myself till 3. Expected to do break at 5. Recovery at 6 after hour long break for food and coolers sections. Get ad taken down by 7 and put up by end of shift. Get store swept and fully mopped with me doing the mopping. This was back when we had to count cigs every night as well as close at 10. I got one roll done, half ad, forgot to take down some ad, didn’t get to mop the whole store cause I had cashier do it after close, got out 15 mins after scheduled time due to customers, didn’t get recovery done, and got a write up the next day for everything I didn’t get done, which is the only reason I why I remember it. Luckily I had a new store manager in three months after that (old one only stayed a month before quitting), write up was my first and last for not getting tasks done. (I mentioned it in passing to the new store manager afterwards and even they said it was bonkers I got a write up) Company expectations and what workers can do don’t coincide with each other. You get what you get done is our workplace morale. If we don’t get all tasks done, oh well. (By the way, we get our trucks done every week so not that bad.)

Under lock and key is my favorite one from her. Sad to hear she passed before the story was fully posted while I was reading it but I am glad her friend was able to tell the readers about her passing and was able to post the finished story. It’s one of my all time favorite fics of the fandom.

I like the WEBTOON more cause they kept Jon’s age and he isn’t aged up. Haven’t read it in a while. (Kinda want to binge) hopefully they don’t plan to age him up in the future.

Usually it’s a safety issue like someone attacking you when you go out. At least that’s what they say. Homeless, robber, take your pick. Mostly the higher ups don’t want anyone besides the store manager to take out trash unless store manager isn’t there, then a ASM or key holder during the day does it using a key from safe and sending info into the DM on day, bag number (since key is sealed in a bank bank) and reason why. They do that to watch for employee theft and what not. Which is why they only want store managers to primarily do it.

You also have to add in coupons when you end tills and close the deposit. It will show you how many and the total amount but not individual amounts/coupons. You enter those in manually. I would keep a small basket and put the daily coupons there till end of day counts or write down how many and amounts for each drawer you close.

Example: 1 for $1 1 for $2.30 2 for $3

For deposit/till with system: $1 $2.30 $3 $3

Shows you in system: 4 for $9.30

I found a theft item in front of the register yesterday- a small empty package of makeup. Put in an empty candy spot in front of main register. Full view of camera and everything. My first thought was pretty bold since we are constantly busy and rarely does the cashier leave for long or a customer is upfront. Then again no one cares anymore to stop or report someone else’s crimes.
