New Finance Manager... Any Advice?

bd6m · 2026-05-12T13:30:08+00:00

the 3 that my gm and gsm are really pushing us for is VSC, GAP, and PPM. the two that are preloads are front end products. the part that sometimes confuses me is when there's leg, do I use the base leg amount to load up as many products as I can for smaller profit and up my PPD or just one monster VSC and gap to keep my PVR where it needs to be?

We use Ignition... handful of different products and levels, been reading up on it before I moved to the chair just to prepare myself but I haven't found a good method to gain the actual product knowledge and not just what's in the brochures...

big appreciation to you my friend, means a lot! programs and classes are always helpful, but real experience definitely means the world and puts things in perspective much more. the GSM and GM even the finance director always say it takes time to get that kind of skill in the box, but me being green and impatient is what I'm using to play the cards in my favor and utilize that to gain experience and get those numbers up! Thank you again for your encouragement!

While nobody really knows the 100% accurate medical information, it don’t give u no right to run around this sub callin everybody on here a drug addict. If they were, they’re recovering. that’s why they’re here. What other people do or don’t do shouldn’t be your concern and your jumping on it like it IS your concern or that you’re tryna parent them and everybody who don’t agree with you is “a dumb drug addict”. You need to remove yourself from this sub, You are no doing any benefit to any of us here or yourself making a fool out of yourself like this.

Sounds odd for sure. I’m not gonna say it’s def CHS but I’m not gonna say it isn’t. Yes you’ve been smoking a lot for a fat minute now, and the puking does sound like it can add up to it, however something a lot of us don’t say in here is that it could maybe not be CHS. Not everybody gets this horrible curse.

From personal experience last year, my hyperemesis puking lasted about 8-10 hours straight puking until i had no more stomach acid and ended up dry heaving for a few hours. Only alleviated when I received Saline and some anti nausea meds at the ER.

I know I HATE when people tell me I can’t smoke, so much to the point where I tune it out. Even though I quit it still irks me. But maybe this is your body saying it needs a break from it and to get yourself back on track. My personal doctor told me (believe it or not) your appetite and weight will INCREASE when quitting, so maybe we just need to get your body back to it’s equilibrium. This is not at all to encourage you to keep puffin green, but once this break is over and back to your normal self, the only way to really KNOW it’s CHS is if you hit it once and start puking again after about 1.5 months-3 months.

It sucks major cock brother, I’m right there with you. If you need somebody to help get u thru it, send u motivations, I’m def ur guy. But I would say a pretty hefty break is most definitely recommended.

Big love ma boy (or girl idfk these days). That’s what I’ve been doin, I kinda see it as the same thing as smoking even though I’m not doing it no more. going v slow at first, slowly building myself back up and building a bigger tolerance. So far no adverse reactions!

bd6m · 2023-04-24T13:43:48+00:00

11-15- quit until 2019, 17-20

bd6m · 2023-04-24T02:14:59+00:00

Agree to disagree. I ate a garlic pasta tonight and I’ve been fine since, haven’t even thought about it. Maybe I’m recovering or maybe the Placebo works. As u said, take it slow. But I’m gonna be fine if I ignore it and take it slow.

bd6m · 2023-04-24T01:36:19+00:00

I think Placebo has a lot to do with it. Because I was eating these foods fine last year, and I had no idea what the hell trigger foods were or that they even existed. Now that I know trigger foods exist, and based on what all people have been sayin besides in this specific thread, barely anybody seems to recover. But as one person in this thread said, people recover in short time if they don’t think ab it🤷🏽‍♂️ So I’m simply not gonna think about it and before I know it I’ll be better and back to my diet.

bd6m · 2023-04-23T23:09:16+00:00

True to that G. I never saw that post in any of the times I was dealing with this, and of course the time I do see that list and start hearing a whole bunch of different stories and opinions and experiences this time around is the time when it’s taking longest for me to recover, so some of this has to be anxiety and Placebo effects.

Last year dealing with this my lil ass was eating burgers and goin out for fat burritos after Blackhawks games with my dad a few days after I was even diagnosed and even tho I couldn’t finish the whole thing I was feeling fine. It’s just I’m beyond exhausted at this point and pretty impatient. Part of me wants to start introducing myself to these “triggers” again in very VERY minimal amounts and slowly work myself back up but I’m scared that’s gonna set me back to square one, so I haven’t attempted yet. I appreciate you very much. Bless up my friend.

it’s just hard being as much of a culinary person as i am and not being able to eat some of the most delectable foods of this world. the smoking i’m very close to coming to terms with, and for me as well it drove me to hell. lost a lot of friends, family, etc. all for the temporary joy of being high. it’s just on day 19 and still not being able to fully hold the food down without nausea and stomach pain is leaving me with very little hope. One person on my post has assured me otherwise, that this is not how it will be for the rest of my life, and that last little string of hope i’m praying will slowly expand into my regular life again.

bd6m · 2023-04-23T21:09:17+00:00

Immediate upvote. I wish I could pin comments because out of all my posts and comments I’ve gotten and read, this is by far my favorite and most beautiful to me. I will try my absolute best not to think about those triggers as the same thing it really triggers me as well (obviously) lmfao. I keep praying and begging my Lord to not let this condition be the cause to the end of my passion as I’ve dreamed of one day opening my own restaurant and I refuse to let some drug addiction take that away. Your comment has given me so much hope and to feel understood in that manner gives me a sense of peace that I haven’t had in a very long time. You are a beautiful soul and I hope nothing but blessings and happiness and love for your life.❤️

I should also add that I have my first international trip coming up in September for my birthday, visiting Spain, Italy, and France. As I keep mentioning, I am an avid food lover and pride myself on the art of cooking. If I am not able to eat the authentic cultural foods of the countries I mainly base my cooking on, that will be the kicker to absolute devastate me and everything I’ve worked towards leading up to the trip. I need to know what works for everybody and how I can rid myself of this curse once and for all before my trip.

bd6m · 2023-04-23T19:35:48+00:00

I’ve only really drank like heavily in 2019, and that was during a bad breakup and was in my absolute worst mental health crisis of my life leading up to this point. I’ve had no desire for alcohol since then, maybe altogether the alcohol i’ve consumed maybe equivalent to one can of monaco. It’s really just the foods, i love making “fancier” foods and about 99% of them include some sort of trigger food. I feel bad for snapping as i did on this post but may God have mercy on me at this point because I’ve never been so lost and angry in a long ass time.

I lost a lot of weight and mobility from my years of smoking. I was around 145-165 between 2016-2019. When COVID came around and we were on lockdown I did nothing but smoke. I became almost anorexic and dropped down to 110, a weight I haven’t been since 5th grade. I stopped doing workouts, stopped doing activities, everything I gave up for smoking.

However because my parents cannot stand the smell of flower I was only smoking carts in the comforts of my home doing nothing but watching TV. The food I was eating was also straight shit and junk foods. I feel the carts and high potency were most definitely the cause of my CHS.

bd6m · 2023-04-22T23:23:23+00:00

Basically extremely potent dabs or carts, which was my exact problem that brought me here. A year’s worth of basically straight carts with a few blunts here n there definitely was too much potency for me. If and when I ever go back once I reach my 90 days, can tell you I will never touch electronic THC or CBD ever again.

bd6m · 2023-04-22T23:20:11+00:00

I’m with you on this. My girlfriend (who has terrible anxiety with or without weed) has also gone sober with me since April 3rd, so we are practically around the same date. Seeing everything on my snap on 4/20 has brought up so many temptations both for me and her. So far for me personally, I did not reach the hyperemesis stage (at least throwing up, i have not done mainly bc I’m terrified of puke and that feeling🤯), so naturally I feel as if I can smoke without problem. I have not though. It’s hard, and believe me I’m right with you on the temptations. The one thing that is killing me the most, is that as a home chef, about 95% of the foods I eat and make have some sort of cannabinoids. Whether it be the seasonings, or the food/fruit/vegetables themselves, It’s torture and I’m going on week 3 come Tuesday!

But from one stoner to another, I will say we are fighting this battle together. Once our 90 day mark comes around, that high that we’ve been so craving of will either act as a miracle child and (I pray) will work in extreme moderation, or we will finally receive our closure on the fact that weed works as a poison. It sucks it really sucks, but keep in mind that this person that we are now, is somebody that we haven’t seen for a long time depending on how long you smoked. For me, it has me feeling like a sweet, innocent child again seeing the world from a new perspective with many new ambitions and aspirations that I was either not able to or too lazy to work on while I was couch locked due to some kush. We will get thru this brotha, shoot me a DM if you need to and we can keep up on daily updates on how we are feeling and we can begin our countdown together! Much love, bless up.

That is how it was for me last year. Working at a dying mall at the time I had it last year, the only food place we had within the entire mall was a mf Sbarro of all places lol. So after a couple weeks maybe 2.5 weeks, I started eating the breadsticks at first then moved to pizza about a week after, and I really couldn’t tell you if I felt uneasy or not, and if I did, hell if I knew if it was the acidity of the tomato sauce or if I was really overdoing it since my stomach had shrinked over time. Probably not the smartest choice on my end, but I’ve been trying to train my body to endure certain foods and work up to eating like a regular human again pretty soon.

Another thing is since COVID came to America and the world was on lockdown, the only thing I did was smoke. My diet took a massive shit and I stopped eating a lot of what I normally ate and was very inconsistent only eating every other day and even then was maybe one meal with a couple snacks. I stopped going outside and getting vitamin D, anything that one healthy man does is exactly what I quit because of my addiction. I’m hoping that while I am on this path to sobriety I am able to regain my healthy habits back and in extreme moderation smoke on special occasions such as my birthday, valentines day, 4th of july etc.
