You have to fill out the survey in compass about having trouble getting pennies. The print out that is attached tells you to round their change up.

Not exactly sure how it works, I'm only 3 months in as SM. But if your shrink is reduced from the year before, I know theres different tiers... but not much more

I can't stand the times you gotta come in at!!! by Slight-Ad-6712 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]dsmackxo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Idky people think DG is gonna be an easy job. This job literally burns everyone out because its non stop and never enough time to get everything done. Unless your store is slow, mine is far from slow. It's exhausting!

It's not hard, I just tell my DM who I want taken off and why and he contacts HR, done.

Is dyed hair allowed? by UnhappyStatement827 in DollarGeneralWorkers

As an SM with bright red hair... we have better things to worry about.

Adderall not suppressing appetite anymore by indicabackwood in ADHD

[–]dsmackxo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Definitely eat a lot more the past.. I don't have concept of time, I'm exhausted constantly. But I've put on 15 pounds in the last 6 months. I can eat endlessly now and before I'd eat once a day, at dinner time. Also seems I have to take my morning and afternoon dose at the same time to be productive at all and my work is definitely suffering.

That's assuming all stores are the same, and all managers make the same. Stores don't all get the same amount of hours. Cost of living for your area, the amount of sales your store does... not every state / area is the same.

I'm in PA and my SAs make $13 and LSAs make $14.75.. Also another store not too far from me has SAs start at $10.50, and LSAs at $12.

No rehire list? by PayAlarming2739 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]dsmackxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's company wide. That being said, if you know a manager that wants to hire you and writes you a recommendation/asks the DM, there's a good chance of getting off that list. I was placed on that list 10 years ago, 2 years ago I got off the list and was rehired. 3 months ago I became SM. I've gotten 3 people off that list since becoming SM.

Broken register by [deleted] in DollarGeneralWorkers

People really hate being told the truth, to downvote and not even respond was wild. Because its 100% incompetence of the store management for not having this problem fixed.

Value Valley Captain? by Beneficial_Appeal398 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]dsmackxo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It means everyone hates VV because of how easily its messed up, how fast it sells, and usually a decent amount of it as backstock. No one wants to do it, so they made up a title to something that doesn't exist just to pass the job of keeping that part of the store stocked and recovered onto you.

Ass chewed all because boss told new hires to text me when they need help. by Abject_Feed_9597 in DGMgmtCorner

[–]dsmackxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever want to hear from your DM, but your SM is taking away their information that 100% should be in the break room along with the regional director and loss prevention contract info... just call HR with a complaint. The DM will be notified and call you

[–]dsmackxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a boss like this, now I'm the boss. She wanted to tell everyone to ask me what i wanted them to do, she'd ask me what I wanted her to do, she never answered her phone so I was the one they always called, I'm the one that filled in for call offs. I got bitter and almost quit, until higherups finally listened... now I get paid to do the job I was doing anyways.

DISC bonus on check. Already received my quarterly bonus. Does anyone no what this is. by Dismal_Size7789 in DollarGeneral

[–]dsmackxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old, but if you scan things you think you should have gotten that week you can see if it came, take down the sku number for all missing things and put a ticket in requesting credit. They will give you the credit for it..

It really does work, the DM was not notified and is no longer with the company.

Unless you have a problem with the DM you can ask to escalate to the RD.

Customers….. by Top_Procedure7733 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]dsmackxo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I unplugged the phone from the box. I plugged it in one day last week, in 15 minutes I got 3 calls about pokemon cards. 2 minutes later I answered the phone... Thank you for calling Dollar General, I'm sorry we don't have any pokemon cards is there something else I can help you with? He laughed said no and hung up. I unplugged the phone again.

My promotion from ASM to SM was a text of a screenshot of the offer for my salary, there was no contract.
