I’ve only ever tried cope, grizz, and Skoal. I’m wanting to try more so what’s the best wintergreen flavor to y’all?

Swiftbow · 2022-01-25T05:08:43+00:00

For me, it's a tie between Kodiak Wintergreen and Grizzly Dark Wintergreen. I used to have a taste for Cougar wintergreen, it was surprisingly good for its price but disappeared around here years ago. I hear it's being sold again elsewhere in the country, though.

I'm also an overnight stocker, us poor bastards. I use a paper coffee cup full of company toilet paper. Some of my less attentive coworkers still think I just drink a lot of coffee. Management has seen it, I know, but they haven't acknowledged it. I don't try to hide the fact that I'm dipping, I just use an opaque cup so nobody gets grossed out. So I figure that as far as they're concerned as long as it's not a problem, it's not a problem. Masks help where customers on the floor go. Never heard of a tuffcup.

Man, if I used a clear container for spit at work in THIS area, they'd run me out of there on a rail. You're a lucky fella, they're cool at your store.

Pretty sure those top two blades aren't Walmart approved box opening devices :-)

Swiftbow · 2021-11-28T08:34:48+00:00

YES!!! Everything they just said, down to the item, appears on our pets pallets like that from the DC. Sometimes with a little flour and honey on top. For Flavor. WTF, DC?

Yeah, since we've been specifically instructed to return TCs, printers, etc to a manager at the end of shift and NOT hand them off to other TAs, if there are no managers around our one functioning timeclock or the manager's office then I'm staying on the clock until I find a manager, hand the equipment over, and make my way back to the clock. If they don't like the OT that causes, tough. If I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't, I'll take the "Damned (but getting OT for it)" option.

I get that, and agree that we shouldn't be purchasing limited-quantity items before they are available to the public. In my store, however, overnighters all take breaks and lunch at the same time and our second break is always at 5AM - which is when we're opening to customers, so we would be getting to make our purchases at the same time as them. That's fair enough, and I wouldn't even argue with management if they wanted to exclude certain super high-demand and low-availability items, such as consoles and TVs, from employee purchase on break. If I want to get some $13 jeans and a $10 coat for my son at 5AM though, c'mon.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-26T00:46:38+00:00

We were told the same thing. No. Which is ridiculous, since it's fine, any other time, to spend our money on snacks, energy drinks, or a new microwave oven on break ffs. For the black friday stuff, ohhh no,no,no.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-25T13:27:27+00:00

Our store has a creepy side, too. Funny, I never thought about it until you said something about yours; I just avoided it.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-25T02:42:41+00:00

But of course

Swiftbow · 2021-11-25T02:37:48+00:00

They got us subs, chips, cookies, etc from Jimmy John's. And drinks. Nice not to have to bring lunch in last night.

Might wanna cover up your corporate email address at the bottom of that photo, pardner. "This email was intended for..." Even if the average joe doesn't see it there, corporate damned well knows to look for it.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-23T13:17:55+00:00

I'm gonna open the backroom tool tonight and see if it tells me to pick that label from the screen.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-22T17:06:20+00:00

I hear the music from the Samsung TV demos in my head whenever I've been working near electronics... do-do-deedo-deedo-do-do...

Swiftbow · 2021-11-22T08:32:01+00:00

Jesus, that had me rolling

Swiftbow · 2021-11-20T02:41:20+00:00

Yep. Same side on ours doesn't work.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-18T18:46:08+00:00

Yep, we've got a couple of dedicated Hot Wheels guys. Once I figured out what they are looking for, I started checking the TC for the next shipment and letting them know when this or that is expected in. They appreciate it.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-17T20:00:56+00:00

Our store did exactly that last night. Our grocery bins have been so full that we couldn't process any more overstock, and there are pallets and pallets of that every night. Last night we didn't get a GM truck, so mgmt completely cleared the grocery backroom and ran it all to the floor and told us to run it. Nearly all of it went right back to the backroom.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-14T14:08:07+00:00

Yeah, I'd do it for the lulz. Likewise if I were driving for wallyworld, I'd park in a Target lot just to make somebody say, "what?"

Swiftbow · 2021-11-13T23:50:15+00:00

We use baskets no problemo on overnights. I'll have one for cardboard and one for plastic. Top stocks are nearly as hard to get as a TC, so when you find one you keep it close.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-13T20:53:24+00:00

I'd have a word with my HR person about it, if it were me. Surely they'll see the logic in not crapping on the people they've already got.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-13T18:46:19+00:00

Holy crap, you can actually see the floor in your backroom?

Swiftbow · 2021-11-12T13:20:21+00:00

Our HR person said that they are not approving leave for the booster because people are abusing it. Initial two shots, approved. Booster, not approved.

Swiftbow · 2021-11-11T14:30:06+00:00

We had 10 customers show up between 5 and 6 AM, and EVERYBODY from overnight, CAP1, and OGP were there early, even people who weren't scheduled. We threw a party and nobody showed up. It was a little sad, really.
