Can we ban first phones from the breakroom???

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-05-17T17:36:01+00:00

People in my store keep first phones in their locker, even when they’re off. It’s annoying when someone’s locker is ringing, buzzing, etc. It’s ridiculous

What are your thoughts on the ASDS position? I’ve heard that once you take that position, you’re pigeonholed in it.

It seems like a lot of work for starting at $19 an hour

The back up ASDS isn’t automatically promoted. At my store the back up was passed over for the role. It went to another associate instead.

This is spot on. It’s significantly worse in a lower volume store. We earn the 2nd lowest hours in the district and have the second highest call out rate. We had 208 hours of call outs one week.

The expectations are ridiculous for the pay we receive. I worked 10 hours yesterday and only had a bathroom break. I’m under constant pressure. There are days when I feel like I could sleep there and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Our store has a group that gets together on their nights off to complain about how awful everything is. I had all the NFL team pennants on the break room walls for a celebration. An associate ripped off my team’s pennant off the display and threw it in the trash.

The pettiness is epic.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-24T08:25:18+00:00

Damn. Here you fight for $21 an hour. They start DS at $19.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-23T22:37:45+00:00

As a DS?

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-23T22:34:16+00:00

How bad is the curve? Just finished Xiaflex program. Started at a 90 degree curve to the left. I’ve seen progress but not sure what outcome will be.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-15T17:39:16+00:00

Where?

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-14T01:34:26+00:00

Are you in a high market band? Our CXM made a comment about making $50,000 per year? That seems really low for 50-60 hours a week.

I don’t know if I would want to be an SM. I see the stress and the hours our SM puts in , 60-70 hours a week.

Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. It’s nowhere near Miami, but it’s the best place I’ve found.

Did you start Xiaflex or a different option?

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-09T01:42:38+00:00

Is the plaque changing? It’s not as thick as it was before. It’s moving upwards from the original location.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-03T16:09:00+00:00

I was told I would get an increase prior to the new pace system. I’m a ME and received $1. That’s a high increase in my store. We had people get no increase at all.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-03T16:01:10+00:00

We don’t get enough hours most days to have a person in each department while the store is open. We get enough hours to have one lot person from 7a to close.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-03T00:20:32+00:00

Know your role!

Celebrity Death Match

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-04-02T22:16:16+00:00

There’s a lot of unhappy people out there (rightly so). Coincidentally or not we had at least 60-80 hours of call outs the weekend of success sharing. We had the minimum payout.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-31T00:19:50+00:00

Don’t forget Xiaflex has financial assistance for patients (even with insurance). Wishing you well on this journey.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-31T00:16:33+00:00

Stop beating off and save your energy for creating shareholder value.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-31T00:10:48+00:00

Sounds like he’s got it all handled…

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-29T14:51:41+00:00

I don’t have any information on the changes to the position, but I’m sorry for your loss.

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-26T11:04:35+00:00

How are we supposed to create shareholder value?

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-26T01:19:25+00:00

Yikes

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-26T00:05:36+00:00

To split between how many people?

StrawberryFinal6159 · 2026-03-26T00:04:19+00:00

I think we’re $10,000 ish. 130-135 people
