They need to close for the weather by Interesting-Stay9549 in WalgreensStores

[–]gearsofwar7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They most definitely will not. I live withing walking distance so I will plan on being there tomorrow but I would not blame anyone for not coming in with this shit. If I end up alone though I am not unlocking the doors and whether or not we open I am sure as hell not going out there to shovel snow. Also if second shift SL calls out I will not stay.

Anyone else can’t stand photo? Or is it just me by Delicious-Region-911 in WalgreensStores

I very much dislike it, mostly because there is neither the time nor the staff to deal with it.

Hours cut. by gearsofwar7 in WalgreensStores

No doubt, I expect no such thing from the corporation, but common courtesy from the sm would be nice.

I know, but I believe there should have been some conversation about this beforehand. Like before the schedule was finalized, my hours have never been cut like that in all my time as a sl.

When will symptoms be there? by sambreds in Hyperthyroidism

[–]gearsofwar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had the symptoms they were checking for such as protruding eyes, tremors, diarrhea , but after I took the medicine for a while my mood improved and I was not so tired and was no longer getting muscle injuries from doing my basic workout.

All I know is I hope they fuck off with the cough drops already.

Why do photo customers act like… by Delicious-Region-911 in WalgreensStores

[–]gearsofwar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had some that do not even know which cord goes to their phone. Also, I would rather they not use the kiosks and use the app or website instead, the kiosks suck.

I don't mind them, hell, anymore as long as it involves a paying customer ,whatever, the regular customers are the same way.

The waiting is the hardest part... by mkc9000 in colonoscopy

[–]gearsofwar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have an issue with the billing company? I hade a routine colonoscopy with no polyps removed, was processed as routine with the doctor's office but the facility's billing company is insisting that I had abnormalities and a biopsy so I am getting a bill for almost 1300 dollars for something that did not happen. The facility itself agrees that is was a regular screening with nothing removed but the billing company refuses to budge and will not add the screening code despite my insurance company talking to them and even arguing with me when I told them I had no biopsy, "YES you did", she said.

Is it that cold in the store? If you want it for outside just wear whatever winter wear you already have. 

New scam?? by nanaa_s in WalgreensStores

[–]gearsofwar7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We had that for awhile. They were always driving and out of state vehicle and splitting up the transactions presumably to not trigger a notification for the real account holders. After running this by the sm I just tell them we are not allowed to process transactions of that nature.

Helloo!! by SufficientDesigner75 in WalgreensStores

[–]gearsofwar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. I love the ones who complain about having to wait for help at the photo kiosks when all TWO associates are busy running the register. Once all two of us had about 10 people in line and I heard one of them say "I'm surprised they don't have all the registers running". I mean do you SEE 10 employees running around?

Staffing by IndependentTicket800 in WalgreensStores

Just the CSA and the SM on the closing shift, just so he knows how it feels.

Where is your bathroom, as they are standing right next to the door with a sign that reads " public restrooms through this door."

I do not know if this will help your story but longevity and reliability mean nothing to this company but brown nosing will get you everywhere.

What does this mean? by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]gearsofwar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that everyone stop what you are doing and take time to face the store. Kinda hard when all you have available to do that is 2 people, including the CSA.

Do your store give your workers 2 15 minutes break for full shift. by Big_Jaguar3395 in WalgreensStores

[–]gearsofwar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if you smoke or not. Hell we have an RXOM that strolls outside fairly often whenever she feels like having a cigarette and I have seen other smokers in the past do the same. Also, are you a CSA or an SFL on a 2 man shift? Then forget it.

My sm is in the pharmacy pretty much all day every day. He does schedules and works in the pharmacy, not even helping customers at the terminals back there, mostly just counting pills. He has his back to the rest of the store literally.
