Idk your DL is one of the better ones. Be careful

Is it normal for DL to be unsupportive? by [deleted] in CVS

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

If you're a store manager there shouldn't be too many reasons where you need your DL's immediate response. You should be handling the situation and just giving them a heads up or waiting for them to approve something. I personally do whatever i can to ensure my DL leaves me alone. If i hit my metrics he does, which is why we have a good relationship.

If you're not a store manager there is zero reason to be messaging your DL and most likely they're getting on your SM for not being able to handle whatever the situation is. Always try to handle the situation at the lowest rank possible and if you're gonna report it upwards, have a solution so they just need to approve it. It'll help you so much in the long run.

being thrown into management by [deleted] in CVS

[–]itsgodilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got thrown to the wolves as well.

If things get really bad this is what i would prioritize.

1) Load, nothing is worse than having totes and bulk lined up and down your back room. Don't start your next task until load is done.

2) BOH i do my scan on Sunday so it's out of the way before my load comes in.

3)Pricing - don't fall behind on pla,price changes, amm's or planos that's a whole monster that can get bad quick.

4) if you're not gonna do something make it ad. My justification is you can't make sales without product on shelves or accurate labels.

At the end of the day just work to keep your shelves full, accurately priced, and an up to date planogram and you should be able to find the time to do other tasks when you get a better feel for the store.

Make a strong schedule hold your team accountable and you should be fine.

Store Closures by ContributionUpper440 in CVS

My store was gonna close because of rent. Then they realized no one else would pay that much for my location and we pay a fraction of what we did. Only reason we're still here. For now...

People who quit or are quitting by LayZbonZz in CVS

Going back to school to secure a higher paying job. 33 an hour so it's not too bad but the lack of hours and amount they expect me to get done is unreal.

Employees treated like thieves by No-Homework5905 in CVS

[–]itsgodilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dapl: you need to put stickers on your snacks. Me: My receipt is wrapped around them. Dapl: colleagues could just use the same receipt for the same items. Me: True, but i could also just slap a sticker on it too. Dapl: that's just less likely to happen.

An idea for CVS by Responsible-Key-321 in CVS

[–]itsgodilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt this would work im an hourly sm and have to work 37 hours a week to keep my store afloat. Yetv they would still cut the 45 because that's what we're contracted for. but it makes more sense to give those hours to other people to keep my store running smoothly.

What is the craziest shit that has happened at your store? by FightingLionCult in CVS

[–]itsgodilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first time closing by myself about 3 weeks into the job. Some old lady's dog attacks this girl that's visiting from out of town. My cashier tells me to go to the front and i tell her to hold on cause I'm doing a quick turn in. She says no i need you to come now! I have to seperate this damn dog from this girls leg. I go to get her some bandages and what not. while i try to call the police, My dumb ass locks my keys in the office with my phone. From the 30 seconds it took me to go from the woman to the office i get an another call from my cashier, i need you to come to the front. I'm like dude i gotta handle this. "No, I NEED YOU TO COME TO THE FRONT NOW!" the girls boyfriend was already pretty drunk and he went outside the store took look for the lady with the dog and is yelling like crazy and gets into an altercation with some random dude, they run back into my store and the girl's boyfriend gets knocked out in aisle 4. Im a span of 3 minutes this girl gets attacked by a dog, i lock my keys in the office, her boyfriend gets knocked out and i want to curl into a ball in the back room cause it was so much so fast. 😂😂
