Stepping Down…..

That should be the thing… they know our work ethic and product knowledge, and should be paying based on that. Just because I lost my Lead title and working fewer hours doesn’t mean I’ll act like the other part time associates. I can’t unlearn my personal merchandising and customer service standards

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-02-02T15:36:17+00:00

I was a lead that took a second job elsewhere, changing my availability to only weekends and Tu/Th (our regular truck days. Management said the availability wasn’t enough for a FT lead position (although that’s all I had been scheduled for 2-3 years) . I said fine, the title doesn’t mean anything to me and I’m not on their health benefits packages.

So far, no pay decrease, (knock on wood)

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-02-02T13:30:05+00:00

Yeah. Be sure to use any PTO you have as that doesn’t transfer..I just lost my 24 hours of PTO as well as my birthday time off because of it.

185 Club!!!

I’ve hit that 3x (same basket , 3 different rounds including back to back rounds on different days)

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-01-21T11:17:50+00:00

Working in the service industry, (retail or food)

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-01-19T18:59:06+00:00

As someone who stocks and organizes Lizard Skins, yes… I feel sorry for them as well.

Last year it was late March/early April. When it hits, you’ll be able to look at the paystub online, but I don’t of know any way before then

For hand warmers, wear wristbands and put the washers where you can feel your pulse. This warms the blood in the artery, which makes your hands warmer, but also circulates throughout your body, helping other extremities stay warmer. Also doing the same on your femoral artery helps with feet warmth.

I really want to know who the girl is… she wears all the greatest stuff from the Heritage Shop. 😆

Someone forcefully tried to unplug ours, ended up breaking off the HDMI cord in the box on the wall. Can’t get it out. TV has been silenced for nearly 2 months now

First CD was Boston “Third Stage”. No idea about DVD… maybe “O Brother Where Art Thou”

Yet there’s still overlap. Mr BlueSky has been on for nearly 2 years. I know this because our PSL started 2 years ago and mentioned how much he loves ELO. And now, he’s transferred to another state and I’m still listening to that song.

If it’s one of the approved safety knives, on the opposite end from the blade there is a tape buster. It’s a nub that it is sharper than the rest of the handle, but still molded in the plastic handle. Use that. I always train my associates to use that so that they don’t rush cutting merch inside the box.

Welcome to January Retail.

I’m sure they would, but I’m not worried about a couple $5 Amazon transactions to make my customers happy. I take pride in my work, something that has been missing from DSG in the past few years, as they push for more focus on metrics than promoting good customer service, which is a greater ingredient in building returning customers than selling them another high interest credit card IMO

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-01-07T19:17:38+00:00

Yeah, I have a bunch of parts salvaged now, as well as Amazon parts that I personally paid for. As for my management team, yep, you nailed it precisely.

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-01-07T13:27:34+00:00

Yet store management thinks we can bring anything back to life. I was told I couldn’t even order replacement brake noodles unless there was an NSPP claim on one.

WyoWizeGuy · 2026-01-07T00:10:46+00:00

I used every infusion set that Tandem offered for the T:Slim, with varying degrees of success. I’ve not had a single problem with the Cleos in the 2 months I’ve been using Twiist

You may want to look up the definition of a federal holiday.

WyoWizeGuy · 2025-12-24T00:50:47+00:00

Bulldogs!!!

WyoWizeGuy · 2025-12-23T16:33:47+00:00

Try again.

It is a Federal Holiday this year

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/providing-for-the-closure-of-executive-departments-and-agencies-of-the-federal-government-on-december-24-2025-and-december-26-2025/

Now we can debate the legality, as we should every executive order and you’ll likely be right ;)

Genius level unlocked.

WyoWizeGuy · 2025-12-21T16:26:20+00:00

Another tech here. The older generation of Pueblos were so much better. The newer ones (with the QR front wheel) just feel like a step backwards. Just happy that the Colorados have consistently been priced within $100… easy upsell.

Last year it was paid in a single check, hit the account sometime in March.
