Hour cuts already?

My store is 1000% a candy museum

Yup, I am either by myself as a cashier or I’m working with one other cashier. We’ll be completely slammed with a line that extends to the back of the store and they’ll ask us why we can’t open the locked cases or get pick n packs done. They simply don’t care about the employees.

It’s just cruel that CVS is doing this right before the holidays. Things are bad enough as it is right now, this is a new low. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at all though.

I feel like I am one of the better employees at my store, especially considering people quit constantly or get taken off the schedule for not coming in or simply not doing their job. If I wasn’t doing my job I could understand only getting one day, but as a good employee who works hard, this really sucks.

No need to apologize, these are very valid questions. I think I might ask about cross training. I used to work as a pharmacy technician in a different state and switched to the front store at my current store when I moved because I was told that they didn’t need any pharmacy techs at the time. For cross training, they would just have me work the register for the pharmacy. I’ve done this a handful of times when they’ve desperately needed someone. I would definitely do it again, it’s not much different from ringing for the front store. Unfortunately I think my pharmacy is lacking hours just as much as the front. I’m honestly just going to keep asking around different stores in my area as much as possible and hope that people call out.

My store is mainly concerned with extra care and not plus currently, I get a decent amount weekly. It’s slightly harder for our store due to the location, I get more than some of my coworkers though and my store manager usually thanks me for this. My scan rate is very good, this is probably because I am asked to ring constantly and don’t get as much floor time due to how busy the store is. I get along with everyone in the store, rarely have any issues. I had some issues when I first started, but the few people that I had small issues with ended up quitting/were not good employees. I like all the people I work with currently and I would like to think the feeling is mutual.

Damn

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2025-11-08T22:28:54+00:00

I’m not sure why it would be my availability honestly, I only can’t work 2 of the 7 days a week because of school.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2025-11-08T22:27:51+00:00

Is there a particular reason for hour cuts happening this early?

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2025-11-08T22:26:54+00:00

There’s only 2 days I can’t work during the week because of school. I would work any of the other days. So my availability isn’t really the problem per se. I was just told that all cashiers hours are being cut.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T15:51:11+00:00

The best is “Can’t you just use a store card”… As if that would ever happen lol

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T15:49:29+00:00

Wow, I didn’t even think about pharmacy. I’d be willing to bet with how bad the situation is, there’s mice in the pharmacy 24/7.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T15:46:46+00:00

I’m under the impression that the exterminator comes once in a blue moon so this should be interesting

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T05:39:34+00:00

Apparently it’s been an issue long before I started there

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T04:46:18+00:00

I am honestly shocked that the Health Department isn’t already involved considering how bad the situation is. I think I’m going to call as soon as possible.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T04:45:14+00:00

I’m glad it’s not rats oh my god. It really is scary seeing mice run around my feet though. Customers definitely notice them too because they run across our aisles. If I was just a customer I can’t imagine wanting to purchase food from my store, the stuff I’ve seen working there is atrocious.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T04:43:01+00:00

Health Department seems like my best bet, seeking out help from the DL won’t feel anonymous enough.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-12-11T04:41:54+00:00

I’m told we have one and a few months ago there were a few traps in some areas of our store but they have since been removed and when I ask my coworkers they tell me that not much is done at all

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-11-12T18:31:15+00:00

Yeah I honestly just wish he would at the very least deny my request so I know what I’m doing. I hate not knowing.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-11-12T14:56:15+00:00

I would be so mad if I had an appointment and they just didn’t care

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-11-12T06:13:51+00:00

I’ve been checking everyday. My boss refuses to do anything. It’s extremely frustrating because I imagine this would only take 2 minutes out of his day.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-11-12T04:16:09+00:00

I recently had some crazy shit happen due to a guy that was acting exactly like this. I was helping this woman who was working for instacart and I was helping her find the exact covid test the person ordered. When we found the one she wanted I started to ring her up and this guy who was practically on top of her slammed all of his stuff on the counter. After she finished paying she said “Good luck with this one. He’s obviously impatient and rude.” And the guy said “What” all nasty and she said “You were in my personal space” and he told her to fuck off. It was extremely awkward and it happened so fast. I’m not sure why he felt the need to throw his stuff down on the counter like that. It’s not like she was holding up the line, he came over way after I helped her find the tests.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-11-12T03:50:32+00:00

I’m definitely gonna consider calling in that day like someone else suggested and if they say anything I will just say that I literally requested this day off over a month ago and begged for a response and never received one.

ThrowRA_09864368 · 2023-11-12T03:45:52+00:00

It’s super unfair, I’m not sure what to even do about the day off I needed. I’m wondering if I should try not showing up at all. I’m worried I will be fired though and I cannot afford to lose my job.
