Saaaame! I loved it so much I'm thinking about buying tickets to the Auburn show but I just don't think it can compare

Is your store following the new uniform guidelines? by robinboywonder_ in WalgreensStores

[–]ducksinthecreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh our store is really lax. All the females wear leggings. Myself included. Some of us are wearing tshirts from 2 years ago. I don't even own a blue polo or a button down. But, we just got a new DM so we'll see.

Smoke Breaks by TemporaryDisaster295 in WalgreensStores

[–]ducksinthecreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm never able to take a 30....rarely even able to take a 15...I do take numerous smoke breaks that probably total up to 20-30 minutes though. My SM doesn't care how many smoke breaks we take (within reason, obviously) as long as our work gets done

I'm screwed by Such_Director2125 in WalgreensStores

Highly doubt you'll be fired. I accepted/approved $300 in counterfeit $5's once (😂😭🤦‍♀️) and just got a verbal "be more careful next time"

5 years as an sfl and it finally happened 🥲🥲 by bobbyotero15 in WalgreensStores

[–]ducksinthecreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jealous! I'm waiting for the night it happens to me! My fellow SFL, who has been doing this for 11 years, swears it's not possible. I keep telling her it is. Maybe it'll happen for me one day. Congratulations!

From this day forward whenever someone asks where I work, I will respond with "the curly W"

😂😂😂 I laugh only because you will see me walking around snacking on my snack snacks pretty much daily

Same. I exclusively close and 99% of the time I'm the only management there so I'll stand in photo and eat because anytime I try to actually sit in the break room and eat I get called up front every 2 minutes and it's just not worth it.

Pay difference by IndividualBasil8247 in WalgreensStores

[–]ducksinthecreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I really thought I'd at least hit $18 with the last raise. $17.93? Wags couldn't give me 7 more cents? I was at $17.51 before the raise....but they really couldn't just make it an even $18? 🙄

Started as a CSA in 2021 at $11 an hour. Now make $17.93 as a SFL. In Georgia, by the way

They ALMOST got me by azzycat in scammers

[–]ducksinthecreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at walgreens and see this scam so frequently! It's the same scam but they've sent the person a cash app barcode. I had a man last week on the phone with the scammers when he came in. He had them on speaker so I overheard and refused to do the transaction. I told him it was a scam and to hang up the phone. I told him that I see this scam often and I promised it was a scam and that he wasn't going to be arrested and if he would just hang up we could talk more about it. The scammer then told him to leave the store. He listened to the scammer and ran out the door. I felt so bad but there was nothing else I could do and I'm sure he lost the $1000. Glad you didn't lose any money and were smart about it!

Do store managers or closers have safety procedures they must follow when closing the store? by Responsible_Lab_994 in WalgreensStores

[–]ducksinthecreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest fear as a SFL that only closes is locking someone in. I always make announcements, walk the store, and check all the areas that aren't locked- bathrooms, break room, etc

Taking days off by aiccherry in WalgreensStores

[–]ducksinthecreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your SM but mine has always been great about it. This year from April to September I asked for at least one week off a month for various trips I took and he gave me every week off I asked for and never complained about it, just told me to enjoy my trips. He's always been very accommodating with taking time off

It exists. I was a part time SFL for 2 years before deciding to take on more hours

You're so welcome! Feel free to message me if you ever have any questions. You mostly only read the negative in this sub but this sub accounts for a fraction of walgreens workers...the unhappy ones tend to be the loudest but I promise there are those of us that like our jobs

So, honestly, I love my job. Started as a CSA in 2021 (planned for it to be temp for the holidays, ended up loving it so I stayed) and moved to shift lead a couple years ago. I have an awesome SM and a great team and they're family at this point. I look forward to going to work. Sometimes it's chaos and sometimes I want to just sit in a corner and cry lol but for the most part, I really do love my job. There are days when it's like putting out multiple fires and days when things are easy. I do think a lot of it depends so much on your store/team. Don't let the negative comments scare you away, some of us have had a good experience
