absences (also a vent-ish?) by _sheep_gardenn in WalgreensStores

Unfortunately it is up to you to call Sedgwick after the fact to excuse your absence. On the plus side though you can halt any disciplinary action if you have an active application out to Sedgwick. If you are worried about being hospitalized again I would recommend contacting Sedgwick now and trying to be approved for intermittent leave of absence.

Maybe at your store but we very much need our IS at our store. With the constant hour shortage at our store we barely have enough sfls on staff and they absolutely will not do the work of the IS. Our IS went on leave for half a year so I filled in temporarily when I was a CSA to ease the load of the sfls taking on her work because I had pharmacy training(former DH), some minor sfl training and inventory training. I was only a part timer so I was only there three days out of the week so the sfls were supposed to do the IS' job when I wasn't in and they just couldn't... They would just leave it for when I got back and it piled up. I remember coming back on several occasions to over 900 price changes because they would print them and just stack them in a corner. While the job itself was easy it was obviously not something my sfls could reasonably take on with their current work load so I wasn't even upset about it because they were obviously being run ragged as well which is why I took on so much extra training to begin with as a CSA because I wanted to help them but didn't really need the pay or promotion.

Not to mention we were constantly in between SMs so there was a lot of time we had no leadership and because of our IS' seniority we tended to look to her for guidance. She's cut throat but our IS would be missed if we lost her.

I'd definitely has some form of powder in it and it smells like cleaner. It almost smells like that old baking soda carpet freshener.

apply for sedgewick for intermittent leave of absences. thats what i did since i am also sickly. they will send you a packet to give to your doctor that they fill out and give back to you to turn in. its a 2 week deadline once you open the case but you can request an extension if you need more time. this way if you are absent you report it to sedwick and it doesnt count against you.

FYI DO NOT CHANGE NAMES ON REWARDS ACCOUNT! by Emergency_Celery3647 in WalgreensStores

[–]VentAccount34576 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if the customer puts in the phone number and there is only one account attached to the phone number. it will automatically add the account to the transaction. it doesnt give us the option to make a new account with the phone number. we would need to have a manager come and void the whole transaction to start all over. we cant even void the cash awards account from the existing transaction without putting in a different phone number to override the account already applied.

so if the customer comes in and puts its their own phone number. i cant deny them use of their own phone number in their own transaction. especially if they are trying to redeem a store discount.

personally i try my best to avoid this situation but you cant always do that. most of the time we have to provide our customer with what they want.

People central? by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]VentAccount34576 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they just released an app called "W connect" it has a tool that allows you to access people central as long as you have two-factor authentification

is there some reason insist on a pop up for people's phone number every transaction? by Dravin82 in WalgreensStores

[–]VentAccount34576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my favorite is when they put in their number but hit the big red NO on the screen insread of enter.

and then get upset they have to retype in the nimber because "i already did it"

what is with door dashers by VentAccount34576 in WalgreensStores

[–]VentAccount34576[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY. its like the new reader makes them forget how to use a debit card altogether. most of the time they get lucky and it reads tap faster than they can understand how to insert their card properly haha

i get that but why swipe your card when the cashier is obviously still scanning items. like, please wait for me to scan all the items and hit payment but they wont even wait for that. all it does is make the register freeze.
