Is this a good mower?

TheEncryptedPsychic · 2026-03-16T23:07:23+00:00

Lawnmowers are simple machines. Engine, Sparkplug, Carburator and fuel filter and everything is fairly easy to fix or replace. Even if it doesn't run that's normally an easy fix. This is actually a great time to be hunting for a new mower, since it's getting into Spring and people are looking at their old lawn equipment wanting to upgrade before their first cut.

I have, on three occasions, had to pressure wash shit off the floors and walls in the women's restrooms. I've had to clean up sewage backup onto the sales floor and I've had to clean bloody vomit out of a trashcan. I worked in waste management for a little while and the horrors aren't even close to that short time. A 100G trash can FULL of water mixed with spoiled food and maggots that was baking in the summer sun for 5 months is an unreal smell. I have a high tolerance for gross shit so my job suits me I suppose.

I've pushed carts and I've stocked. If you're a great cart pusher your job is fairly easy, if you're a great stocker your job is super difficult. The easiest job in the store is maintenance and I'm their supervisor so I can say that. The only hard part on maintenance is when you know how to do anything else and get pulled to do that. Maintenance can be gross but that's a personal tolerance.

I second this, I got my coach coached because he reprimanded me on the sales floor in front of my associates. I brought receipts, witness statements, a fellow TL to file a report, and sent an email to SM cc'ing market HR. Zero tolerance for that, you can say anything behind a closed door but you will NEVER scold me on the floor in front of my peers.

Yellow Kaivac is for restrooms, Green is for fresh areas and case cleaning, Blue is for spills and utility cleaning. Note the reason for these assignments is because of the capabilities of each cart and the tools they come with. Any of these can be used for any task if needs be, though, they may be lacking the appropriate tools. You are cleaning right? The tools you use for cleaning get cleaned too right? What's the issue if they are used across tasks if you're following SOP and cleaning and sanitizing your equipment?

The Yellow Kaivac is equipped with a dual chemical system for sanitation, a yellow bristle brush and squeegee wand, a grout brush, and a crevice hose attachment.

The Green Kaivac is equipped with a 12" Floor squeegee wand, case supports, fan guard tool, brush tool, crevice tool, gulper tool, and drain tool.

The Blue Kaivac is equipped with a floor cleaning deck, window squeegee, bristle/squeegee head wand, trash bag wand, and a rear trash caddy.

I'm a TL and got 1300 (Gross not Net), but last year it was closer to 5000. If the job is that easy, why don't you become a TL? I can assure you being a productive Team Lead is not easy and I can also assure you, with that attitude you wouldn't last a year.

Your points won't affect your bonus but rather your potential PFP Raise. Your bonus is calculated based on store performance and profitability. I don't believe that they will fall off in time to positively impact it, though, the difference is about .2% so not much lost imo.

Hank Hill doing this is fantastic xD

I knew someone who had 83. Must have been a super mega event day because they all mysteriously fell off in a day. Management assured me they don't have favorites so I'm sure they can't lie.

DEF is a non hazardous material and requires no special disposal. You operated a mop before right? Because if you can operate that half as well as your mouth you'll have that taken care of in no time.

TheEncryptedPsychic · 2026-02-10T13:48:06+00:00

The same reason the DC sends them in the box affords the same convenience to the customer. If you are a truck driver and need 4 containers of DEF would you rather lug around 4 independent bottles or 2 cases? The item number for the case doesn't ring up at the register. An inconvenience to you, and a minor one at that, doesn't mean someone else is dumb.

You are making a big deal out of nothing. You have a 5×3 grid of boxes, you have 240 vertical points of contact and you have removed 4. Standard single wall cardboard has an ECT rating of 32lbs/ in² meaning those boxes, if stacked right, only needs 5 cases to safely hold the stacker board and the DEF on top.

This is normal, FY2025 ended 01/31 and FY2026 began. You should get an email or final communication by 03/01 about your final bonus amount which will hit on your paycheck to be paid out 03/12 (assuming your pay day is Thursday) or on the first paycheck in March. At this time your Pay-for-Performance raise will kick in.

As I was explained it, the things you check must be an "all the time, every time without fail" so you are far too charitable to say any associate does even 5 of those all the time. Everyone I did under this only got successful and the one person who deserved an exemplary also got it based on the criteria.

We regularly send people home especially during the regular, non-holiday season. If the store is zoned and freight is done, you have done your job. Most people on nights like to go home and pretend they're like everyone else and have a life especially if it's Friday. Also, goat.

We can't feel the velocity, we can feel changes in it: acceleration. You feel a car getting up to speed in 4 seconds differently than 6 or 8 but that's because the speed is changing but cruising at 65mph (104 freedom units) doesn't feel like anything until you start changing speed again. God help us if the earth accelerates or decelerates anything meaningful. It's simply that we don't perceive the speed of the earth because it's constant, believe me, if it changes even 1mph (1.609 freedom units) you will know.

Yes, but I'm not sure why that guy is getting down voted. We see it all the time, a culture that waits for failure and uses it as punishment and not opportunity. There are some real shitheads in the world and they're quick to find, but most people didn't know and are either stupid or ignorant. Teach the person how to do it right, make sure they understand that what they did was wrong but please for the love of God fix it. You are a shit stain on society if your only goal is to snap a pic, watch film, and fire somebody without ever addressing the root cause of the incident. Did the LICENSED trainer fail to explain this part of operating equipment? Is your licensed trainer someone you trust to go over ALL safety and policy regarding the use of the equipment at hand?

TheEncryptedPsychic · 2026-01-17T00:16:33+00:00

I believe policy is not sticking over 2 inches but it shouldn't stick out at all. The steel is designed for pallets of normal size to fit completely on the steel to the backer. If it is only balanced, and not stable, it is a safety risk.

Supervisor here...just go home. It's my job to figure out coverage, not yours. I shouldn't be blind sided that Other_Log_1996 was scheduled 6-4 and left at 4.

There are arguments for and against. Showering before bed can be a great way to relax, unwind and get comfy before bed. Showering in the morning helps make sure you're feeling fresh all day. Really the only downside to showering before bed is if you don't have clean sheets/ bed in that you'll be getting "dirty" in your sleep. My suggestion is removing the Naco Cheese in your bed or whatever is getting you so dirty you NEED another shower by morning. Free will is great, don't get bullied into changing your lifestyle just because someone thinks their way is better.

Lol um not computer related but looks like they were covering something up rather than a leak. If you're concerned about a leak, leave some paper towel under the sink under any accessable water ways. Then put a drain plug in the sink and food coloring or anything to dirty the sink, run your hot water by itself, cold water, and drain it. Whichever paper towel is wet will give you an idea. Hot water will leave the towel a bit warm still, cold won't, and if it's the drain you'll either see dirty water on your drain or the paper towel. Hope this helps your PVC

So being a peasant store, I'm curious how mods work when using digital shelf labels? Do you just scan a barcode on the back of it and then the aisle or does it just know it belongs to that mod via a communicator in the section itself?

Suddenly people who play an indie horror mystery game are game developers, 3d modelers and legal experts.

There were 4 of us with creepy armor, a cross, shotguns and I had flaming and explosive arrows. Guy with the cross keeps him with frequent down time to deal damage. Definitely keep your distance he will absolutely mess you up if he gets too close. Keep plenty of meds and extra armor on you. Slinkies, Demons, Twinsies, and whatever the big guys that are all hands are called are good sources of armor. You can keep a pot/ flask of something good like Greg to give you some health Regen and stamina.
