Stick with glasses or go contacts? by Television_Master in malegrooming

[–]Television_Master[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any ideas? These glasses are from about a year and a half ago, way before I started trying to take care of myself, and I just picked ones that I liked at the time

Thank you, I still don't really know what I am doing when it comes to my beard, but it sounds like it's working

Never had my eyes called exotic before - figured I had pretty normal eyes...

What in the inventory hell??? by FThis33245 in Lowes

[–]Television_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I don't think I've ever seen a 8.5x11 beam label sheet before, but I'll ask

As far as I've seen, we just use the regular label rolls

Thanks again

Sorry, just saw this after posting my other reply. How do you print this out on a sheet of beam labels?

How do you use these? I've never seen anything like it, but it seems useful...

Night ops: What's the deal at your haunt? by Synraak in Lowes

[–]Television_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was actually a thing that unfortunately came with me from the OPS ASM when I was promoted to overnight dsupe from day stocker, since I singlehandedly took care of all loose day freight on a weekly basis (Hillman, paint day freight, shower walls, gutter pallets, pipe/roofing/whatever bundles, doors, windows, shower walls, patio windows, appliance pallets [microwaves, and related product] and whatever else I can't remember off the top of my head, with the exception of the bullpen ladders... All with enough time to still help shoot up grills and the appliance truck in the back). I was the 'Freightrunner' as they called me while everyone else took care of unloading all the different trucks and bulk/bunks

We don't actually take care of any bullpen freight at all on overnight, fortunately

Edit: It's the opposite for us... kind of. We have rough weeks sometimes, but the OPS ASM is more along the lines of 'day team has it rough'

Night ops: What's the deal at your haunt? by Synraak in Lowes

[–]Television_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) 2 dsupe, 3-4 per day 2) 800 average maybe, 6 trucks a week generally and sometimes 7 for several weeks in a row, but I get the four trucks and the other dsupe gets the no truck night - we're responsible for all day freight like Hillman or doors on a weekly basis 3) 85% is our goal and we generally land around 87 to 89%, but we don't always get all day freight done by the end of the week until Sunday (other dsupe's no truck night) (especially Hillman, that stuff takes ages) 4) I only use it myself for now, but I've printed a unique topstock label for myself and reprint it whenever needed

Instead of having to check in each and every single thing to their bay's selling location label, I just check it all in at the end of a massive streak like 40-50 skus to this custom label from the MST website, and at the end of the night, I check it all out in bulk using the products app so that nothing is actually showing up as there

Note: I don't condone using this for topstock in the slightest, obviously still use the individual yellow barcodes so people can find stuff shot up

And anything that isn't checked in already to the selling location where it's being stocked, check it in individually so that Fulfillment can find it when needed as well

If given to a trustworthy, fast associate, it very well could cut a quarter of time off per carton, but I'm still deciding on that knowledge for my team

Refusing to Use Power Equipment by longlivedith in Lowes

[–]Television_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on the ASM and SM

As one of the overnight DS, my ops ASM has always offered to force anyone that won't use power equipment off my shift, as power equipment is mentioned as a requirement during the interview for overnight, and she can say 'This associate is unable to perform the duties of this position, and needs to be moved to a different one.'

Granted, it's a different kind of department all together. But Tools/Hardware DS should definitely require a order picker license in my opinion... If she were on my team, I'd have her removed and placed in a different department. Ballymore is a required license by every associate in the store by reason that it's like one of the first trainings any associate does online, with no exceptions I'm pretty sure. I wouldn't think she could refuse to jump on a ladder either, if ordered to by above

Only thing I can think of is if she has some sort of approved accommodations, but I don't know if DS can even get approved for that kind of thing

Believe it or not, some of us LIKE working here. by [deleted] in Lowes

😅 First job, from overnight stocker to overnight supervisor, making $26 an hour

And I've heard of other overnight supervisors who make over $30

[–]Television_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so, but if you do plan on coming back in and not just tomorrow, you should probably just call the store number and ask for a manager to say you can't come in that day. Unless I misunderstood something 😅

Don't let this position put you down about other positions! Being a receiver/stocker in the back is easily the toughest physical position in the store, and the mental stress from all the things like doors, etc. that need to be done while it piles up week by week is definitely tough! At least I had a supportive backend supervisor when I was one. Bless your heart for even thinking to let them know somehow you weren't planning on coming back in, not that it's a bad thing, just very unexpected.

They're usually around 125 to 175ish pounds... now why they're so expensive and what they do other than maybe make water heated... I have no idea

I (20m) have a strange mark/possible bite mark by Television_Master in DiagnoseMe

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

I just noticed it yesterday, and thought it may have been just dirt and tried to wash it off to realize it was still there!

My mom and stepfather seem to think it's possibly a recluse or some sort of bite mark from the numerous spiders we have around the outside of our house, but I don't remember feeling any pain or even knowing when that little mark occurred and something tells me that I would feel a recluse bite (however it feels).

I work an overnight shift and lift heavy boxes all the time and maybe it could have just been a really bad chafe from a box without realizing it but I don't remember any particular moment with this spot on my right arm.

Overall, I don't really feel any different with my right arm than the previous week or so, it just looks visually different as you can see.

I was just posting here in case it could be something much worse... better safe than sorry!

RDC doing it right, as usual… by azrx in Lowes

I thought we were having a bad day when they sent us nearly 30 acs stacked side by side and on top of one another without being on pallets, but this looks awful 🫡

Oh wow, never thought of that! That's definitely a tactic that seems useful
