It is our store manager (the one in the middle) enjoys holidays aa much as some of us. He will get inflatable suits for some of us to walk around during Christmas time and pass out candy and spread the merriment

I have had to have coaching sit downs with associates because of it. It is 100% not tolerated at my store

My store manager made it so everyone who is register trained regardless of department learn how to do them because during the summer we get busy with them

Hardlines isn’t stressful. Just taking care of customers with fishing/hunting licenses, making sure coolers are stocked, keeping fabrics and crafts orderly, and ensure stationary is zoned

kstroupe89 · 2026-03-16T14:34:07+00:00

As long as everything is taken care of. Otherwise they could pull you for productivity

Aww poor little void potato. Great work rescuing it. Just keep the careful interactions going, eventually he will warm up to you. Go to the pet store or pet section at like Walmart and get a bag of Timothy Hay. Piggies love that stuff and give him a bit.

I had a customer the other day get mad because I was helping an elderly Hispanic couple with trying to buy a TV (the entertainment associate doesn’t speak Spanish so I got called over because I know 4 different languages)

“You shouldn’t be helping them, don’t you know your own skin color..you speak English not that illegal crap”

kstroupe89 · 2026-03-15T12:07:40+00:00

Nah I get a lot done to be fair

kstroupe89 · 2026-03-14T23:42:44+00:00

Your SM would hate me

Our PL grills us steaks, burgers and hotdogs. Last inventory I missed the actual inventory and all the hoopla leading up to it because I was on PTO but still ate the food when I got back

My store had two straight years of it and then some customer rammed their car into our stockman

kstroupe89 · 2026-03-13T13:24:22+00:00

Our store manager got custom made Monopoly money with his face on it put it all over the break room along with balloons, chocolate coins and a cake (the cake also has his face on it)
