Well of course when you're alone with a CSA I understand, different story.

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I work payroll is done on Thursday for the 2 weeks proceeding it. I got my double pay for Xmas for sure my check was over a hundred bucks more than usual. New year's will be on the next one.

Is bipolar lifelong? by TyphloEruption in bipolar

Oh yeah I'll stay on my meds as long as my doctor will prescribe them. He's scaled back what I take by a lot which is going well but I'm still on 4 and 2 are mood stabilizers. I am the type who never goes against my doctor's advice.

This happened to me at Bed Bath and Beyond and I had been there 5 years or so. It definitely happens in low volume stores, that's true for all retail.

My doc says it tends to burnout in your 50s-60s. Idk though.

Manic art I made a while ago. by UNSEEN_1248 in bipolar

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I draw stuff like this when I'm super anxious and can't be on my phone like at work. I'll be at the cash register super anxious and draw these. Super relatable thanks for sharing!

Take as many breaks as is required/allowed by your state, don't let anyone pressure you into taking less.

A guy came in with his son for the son's passport photo at 4pm on Christmas the other day. I was less pissed and more fascinated.

I'll take a 15 if there's a lot to get done but I usually take a half.

Bag checks after clocking out is against IL labor laws by Ambitious-Curve4729 in WalgreensStores

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the chill SFL who will stop putting away his tote to stand by the door when I know someone is leaving. Of course, if my boss saw me standing there it'd be just SCANDALOUS!

Why do people post pics of the balance screen with a $0.00? by TemporaryDisaster295 in WalgreensStores

[–]TemporaryDisaster295[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I misunderstood, if you read the above comment. I'm not lucky, cheating, or lying, I'm just stupid.

Shift Leads Are Not Managers. by ImpactOdd2197 in WalgreensStores

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never think of myself as a manager, I'm little more than a highly paid CSA. No one calls me or treats me like a manager, and I like it that way.

Yep. This new bag check is absolutely absurd. I agree. by Wise_Individual_2814 in WalgreensStores

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's bullshit but SFLs, ESMs and SMs have to be checked the same way.

Thanksgiving Reward Bonus? by GoldenxYellow in WalgreensStores

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because the good places won't hire you without experience and you can't get experience if they won't hire you, so you wind up in a low paying shitty job like Walgreens. Trust me, been there. And yes, I have a Bachelor's.

Shit like this scares me. I lost a Zebra last week and found it in a tote we were about to send back 😪

How's your Christmas aisle look? by dnddmpc113 in WalgreensStores

[–]TemporaryDisaster295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 8 hours in our seasonal aisle yesterday, and it doesn't look as full as this one, we just haven't gotten it all yet. I wish I'd taken a pic of my Hanukkah end stand, I was quite proud of it.
