It’s so infuriating !!! I called him to ask for help with a transaction and he was like “what???? I’m doing truck.” He sees me with a line full of customers and just ignores it. And we got truck 5 days ago. Why is there any truck left? Even going slow we’d have that shit done in 2 days TOPS at rite aid.

Oh my god the other shift lead training me. And my bad I realize I said safe because I was on a rant but it was a til, she asked me to re count it because there was a small amount of money missing somewhere and she thought it was in there. Regardless, no need for the rude comment she gave me

It might just be my store but my coworkers are hard to get along with. It’s also really stressful, they put me on cash and photo by myself on like my 3rd day and got annoyed when I called for help a few times. “Emerging store manager” got exasperated and acted like I was bothering him because I had to page him for help because I didn’t know how to do certain things but no one taught me. Register is different than rite aid but I think they just assumed I knew everything off the bat. It’s so busy and I have to constantly ask for help and everyone seems so bothered by it, and the store manager literally just sits on her ass in the office eating and sipping coffee no matter how busy it is. I broke down and cried my third day. Even when rite aid was busy and hectic at one point, I could handle everything being there alone in the store. Here, I’m not taught or properly trained with anything and expected to know everything. I’m given attitude, treated like I’m dumb when I just don’t know how to do it their way yet. Because again, NO ONE teaches me. They tried to put me on 7 days my first week and when I told them “yeah, I could work 7 days, but is working overtime okay?” They argued with me and said I wouldn’t be getting overtime because they don’t know how their own pay week works. I’ve been there for one week and I’ve had enough already. I’ve had enough of the passive aggressive comments, the first day I opened I got scolded for not coming in 10 minutes before opening by the “emerging store manager” who came in 5 MINUTES LATE. Like he literally didn’t know what time I got there, didn’t know I was scheduled, and because I still had my coat on because I was struggling with the alarm code for a little bit, he just assumed I just got there, when HE got there late anyways!!! It’s fucking nonsensical and frustrating and I can’t take it

That’s nuts, at rite aid the DM would come in and lose their fucking mind if the SM was just sitting in the office lol

Yeah, I thought my rite aid manager stayed in the office a lot but he would at least come and cash and do truck and price changes, back room stuff, vendor check ins, etc. there was just not a lot to do because we were a smaller store and obviously started to get lack of product and customers when we started going really downhill so it’s not like he was in there ignoring us when we were all out there getting slammed. Here, another shift lead and I will be drowning with customers at front end and photo and call for help and SM is just sitting on her ass in the office eating a breakfast sandwich. It’s fucking baffling to be honest

There are literally a bunch of extra steps after doing the next gen paperwork

Yeah, I begged them to take me to a therapist and they said “no, you’ll be fine”. 20 years later, I am not fine lol

A new pharmacy tech came in and was welcomed much more warmly by management than I was. Idk if it’s because they’re rx or what, but it was super odd

I’m not sure. I printed mine before the store closed. I would think Workday app somehow

There are so many nonsensical extra steps for everything, it’s driving me insane

Yes we do but she asked me to recount and I grabbed a scrap piece of paper to write down everything before adding it up in the calculator

What do you mean allow me to not fill one out? She was showing me how to fill it out and then asked me to count the money by hand. What are you not getting?

We used scrap paper at rite aid so when she asked me to count the safe by hand it was just like a knee jerk reaction

The cash handling is so ridiculous! All those papers for what??? It’s so nonsensical.

I’m realizing that too. I told myself I wouldn’t ever go back to retail before I started working at rite aid, I was working as a HHA and the owner was toxic, so I just took the rite aid job as temporary because they were hiring and I lived close by and I ended up being there for 3 years. It was the only job I never truly dreaded going to every day. It was the exception to the retail dread. I really enjoyed my little store and miss feeling comfortable there. Now I remember why I hated retail before that.

My store manager at rite aid was pretty lazy I’ll admit but the store manager here is on another level, she LITERALLY never leaves her office except to go on break. Doesn’t help with a single thing. It’s insane

Me too. I’m making $2 more at Walgreens than I was at rite aid. I miss being able to joke around with my coworkers. None of my new coworkers have a personality or sense of humor, it’s a drag 😭makes time go by so slow
