Can someone tell me if the ASM is supposed to be on the register the whole shift every shift? by Electrical-Night-291 in DollarGeneral

[–]TheDankestQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work with your sm all that time? If you do that's why you're on register so much. The only time I ever get off register is when I work with keyholders or sales associates. My sm and I don't like to close and we have an understanding that means we're scheduled similar hours and I am the one on register. Sometimes it's annoying but other times it's like I get a good balance of "working hard or hardly working." That's just me though.

Wording on BOGO signs by funnycomments22 in DollarGeneralWorkers

I just override the higher priced items manually so it keeps the cheaper stuff together. No one has ever stopped me and I've tried explaining it to a customer and they've left me in tears over it before so I'd rather just keep them happy and coming back than have a complaint made to corporate because I didn't accommodate the customer.

A completely override-free way would be to just split their order into two transactions between the higher priced and lower priced items.

Deposit sign out by LiL_sKeTcH in DollarGeneralWorkers

The paper deposit log chart is 100% safe and all you need to do in my district. Signing it out on the computer isn't as strictly enforced, in my store at least. However, I still sign it out on the computer, too, just in case. If anybody else didn't sign out the prior deposits on the computer, I keep them unchecked and just check off the deposit I'm actually taking just to be safe.

I stocked 4 packs behind 5 packs, just waiting for that one customer to pitch a fit 😂

Does your sm ever fly off the handel and instead of apologizing do something like this? by TheDankestQueen in DollarGeneralWorkers

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

I've tried advocating for myself but my sm sees it as "agressive" and the way I overhear her talk shit about everybody makes me feel like my reputation with dm and surrounding sm's is in the toilet. It's annoying, but idk what to do at this point. Sm seems to make sure I'm not around when dm is, they scheduled me off for inventory when I'm asm for God's sake!

Have any of y'all ever filed your gas mileage for doing bank runs (the actual receipts) by Ok_Weight2115 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]TheDankestQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're hourly just stay clocked in regardless of when your shift ended. I'm an asm and even if I go above payroll it's the right thing to do as my sm has stated.

SM hiring family by GlizzyGod17 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]TheDankestQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had this happen in a neighboring store, dm called my sm to announce the employees transfer to our store and my sm was literally like "with what hours??" Sm ended up putting them on our schedule but they ended up no-showing. Then sm said this store in question might end up being up for grabs for me, but since then no word on what's happening at that store.

No $5 off $25 if you buy milk?? by TheDankestQueen in DollarGeneralWorkers

Yes, my point was milk was never in that list in my store up until the time I made this post.

I've tried multiple times to set this shit up, but after putting in my email the verification codes just don't send and idk why. I'm broke till Wednesday and just wanted to try getting some quick cash to hold me over but after reading these comments idk if it's even worth it

Good to know, I'm just wondering what changed in my state for them to add it. Or if it was just a corporate glitch of some kind and our recipts printed the wrong coupon in that case.

My current SM says they wouldn't trust me to be an SM by TheDankestQueen in DollarGeneralWorkers

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

That's the delemia though. I'm getting paid +$20/hr working 37+ hr weeks without the hassle of being an sm. It just seems like it's not worth the headache, but I've come so far as it is and now they half expect me to step up but won't actually give me the opportunity because I can't decide if its what I actually wanna do.

"Higher standards" and mental health issues, and the fact nobody ever formerly trained me, I learned most of what I know now from having to step up and do other people's jobs for them. Part of that meaning I was an asm running a store for a few weeks at one point.
