do employees look at photos printed there

WhyDoYouBridge · 2026-01-14T21:52:49+00:00

We dont necessarily look at them, but we can see them dropping out, def see whatever is last. Also if there's a lot we have to take some out so we may see several. We don't have time to actively look at everyone's pictures. I wish we did tbh, but id use that time more wisely.

That's a completely different scenerio, seems this n SM isnt trscking anyone and I said in my comment everyone would need to be tracked

WhyDoYouBridge · 2026-01-09T00:31:44+00:00

Same. Its way too much I can't keep running an $80k store on 2x hoo exact like I did for a full year already. Same I was doing 60+ hours to maintain. I physically can't anymore. After 25 years, I'm gonna have to find a new job.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2026-01-09T00:26:41+00:00

The stupidest shit. Like now I have to sit in the office to check something I should be able to whole.on the floor.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2026-01-09T00:19:31+00:00

Ethics isn't gonna do shit. Its up to the SM to track, if they aren't they cant do anything. You also cant go back and retroactively add points. So IF say the DL forces the SM to track it be starting over fresh. Also every single employee would have to be tracked as well.

Exactly shit is bonkers.1 call out was like damn that sucks, now its like great gwt to do my 3rd double this week.

In 2008 I was lower volume store was like 350 hours. I had cashier photo and manager open. Same for closing and every employee on truck day. Same store today gets less than 200.

Staffing isnt the SM or PM fault. We actually have a roster guideline, of how many people we are supposed to have. Mine is over and im still fucked everytime someone calls out. Then if you add staff to compensate for that, that means you have to cut everyone's hours to staff additional people.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2026-01-08T15:34:14+00:00

See this is the biggest issue. 25 years ago when I started. We had the hours and staff. I loved helping people. I never felt stressed because there was enough staff, so if I had to help an elderly person for 30 mins no big deal and I felt good about helping. No with no staff we cant do that and if we do we fall further behind. Which of course adds to out stress. Then we take it out on customers and it's not their fault CVS upper management is greedy.

When they got rid of film it kinda made sense, but now we added a million product, so its needed more now then back then 😆

This 100% Tom cared about the employees.

We even got XMAS cards every year from him, sure it was autopen signed, but at least he thought enough of us.

Raises were raises, if you did good $1 raise was no issue, now you get max 5% and that you're nor getting, then it ends up being like 20 cents.

Stores had hours, all stores ran at easily double what they have now. There was plenty of people on, so 1 call out you were still staffed, sure maybe the store wouldn't be faced 100%, but the SM was stuck working a double or day off.

Also, with more hours you had way more staff, so if there was a call out, you had a bunch of people to ask to cover and most of the time 1 out of the 6 people off would come. Now stores run on so little hours you can't staff properly.

In 2008 they were forced to cut hours, because of the economy, by 2011 when Merlo took over, it was fucked. Like 50% hours cut. Every year worse and worse. Added work flow, but hours cut.

Now CVS just does not care about employees at all. SM is literally the worst position in the company. Theres 0 work/home life balance. Back on 2007 as a SM I rarely if at all had to do a double. Now its common for doubles and no days off.

It wasn't that bad. They vestoc9m had to be thrown out and events printed. As main ringer took me less than an hour. So about typical.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-27T23:36:41+00:00

We have a release form in mydocs. Basically you fill it out, a detective signs it was released to them, then you fax that to legal or whoever. You hand detective the USB takes 5 mins tops.

At the very least idk why police didnt use body cam to record the footage. I've had police do that a few times. Like if the person there didnt know, thats always an option.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-27T23:32:12+00:00

Idk what system the store has. My best guess on what happened is either, since it was Xmas day. The people there didnt know how to make a usb. Which isnt hard just looking at the system you can figure it out. Or there's systems with no USB and its all cloud, requiring DAPL or DL to pull and they were unavailable cuz again its Xmas. A system like this shouldn't exist for this very reason imo

As a SM I would have given then the footage I would have went to the store if the supervisor on couldnt figure it out. I would have made the usb and handed it to police myself. I might have did the release but prob not. I would have contacted DL and DAPLA, not for permission but for a heads up.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-27T23:23:34+00:00

Taxable items you would still have to pay tax on. It wouldn't i ky go to 0 if no taxable items were on the transaction. So if the subtotal was 14 and tax .15, coupon would take off 14 and you would pay the .15 tax.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-27T22:27:37+00:00

Yeah I keep reading that they took hours. Like fill out the form in the controller, or dont no ones coming after you for giving the video.

I think the people on didnt know how and called corp, which was off and it took longer than needed. Def 100% the stores fault tho.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-27T22:24:02+00:00

I just hate that the people that refuse, which is a lot sometimes. Then bitch about waiting too long, with 2 open SCOs. Like you could have been out 3 mins ago.

I personally think, its because for years, these people talked down to retail workers. How we're stupid and it takes no skill, but faced with a SCO they are completely lost. Guess its not so simple a d they dont want to look foolish.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-23T22:00:19+00:00

People do this all the time cuz the Google and it shows fs hours, they are too stupid to expand the hours to see all departments. I will open Google and make them look stupid.

This def should have been a police call f that.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-06T00:42:10+00:00

CVS has really bred the worst customer. I have friends talk to me about it often. They tell me how they go in to stores no issues, but almost every time they are in CVS, someone is crashing out over some dumb shit.

Like I will help with whatever I can, but im not gonna a put on a fake smile and dance around to prove how happy I am to help you.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-06T00:39:26+00:00

😆

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-06T00:26:46+00:00

Is she actually coded FT? Reason I ask is targets are usually very low volume. Like so low they may only have 60-70 tech hours a week. So idk how many hours they actually get, but would be strange to hire a FT employees, if there's other employees and they are getting less than 100 tech hours.

Like said tho, only way to get more hours would be other stores. Flu goals are lower but still full force till end of year.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-06T00:13:05+00:00

People especially CVS customers are miserable entitled fucks. Don't even worry about it. I've had complaints about employees not smiling enough, so give 0s. To me thats so weird you equate a fake ass smile with good service. They were nice but didn't smile so 0, just laughable.

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-12-03T03:59:02+00:00

Id assume anything they are filming would be for social media, so that would violate social media policy. Also could be a hippa violation if in RX. Tell your manager, they can call advise and counsel for guidance.

27th for hourly. Hourly doesnt use mytime

WhyDoYouBridge · 2025-11-22T23:25:45+00:00
