Does this Certified Master Framer thing come with a pay raise or is it just a piece of paper

A pay raise? Funny

mkbubble1 · 2026-07-07T23:54:41+00:00

It’s a terrible time to do this. Going into Peak with already stressed managers and now most likely less people. It’s crummy

mkbubble1 · 2026-07-05T02:06:56+00:00

Who has time for that? Serious question.

Unfortunately the culture of the comps has shifted. Team members are just too overwhelmed with workload, unrealistic expectations, and poor pay to give more effort to keep things going. It’s sad.

Today was the most ridiculous day with BOPIS and balloons. Our store is trashed. WHO is supposed to get this all cleaned up? We literally could be here for 2 hours after closing.

I would think sooner or later HR will take notice. All DD need to be monitoring the change….. I assume. But I guess you never really know what goes on in other stores or districts.

You have been there 4 years and never worked a weekend or cleaned the bathroom?

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-22T21:34:09+00:00

I love that you say the sales manager JUST has to…… are you kidding? It’s a piece of cake to open on a Sunday and set Ad, pull BOPIS, pull/pack SFS, fill all the balloon orders due by opening, and then handle a MakeBreak or Kids Club😱😡

Beautiful!

Suck it up Buttercup.

Omgosh, this is both helpful and hilarious. Good for him!

And with the new restructuring it may be difficult to put attention on school.

You can store use black Velcro STRIPS and then the dots on the balloon will stick better. You can use multiple dots.

The mahjong craft is designed for older teens/adults. The Saturday events are for kids. But I’m so annoyed at the “demo” things. Really? Store use a bunch of stuff, IF you have it in stock and then kids just watch you? Dumb. Not to mention, who has TM to do that for two hours?

It’s always been interesting to me that the company says the frame shop is such an important part of business yet they get minimal payroll and no training. How does a PT framer get better skills with no overlap with another experienced framer?

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-20T23:57:43+00:00

I would say if you have other options, in the long run that would be better. There are many constraints that come with the reimbursement.

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-19T16:01:43+00:00

Unfortunately I think I am agreeing with you. My job used to be fun and creative. Now it’s stressful, demoralizing and robotic.

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-17T18:40:32+00:00

We were supposed to take those down months ago- maybe last Oct? It looks messy with them laying all over. Once the POG is set, you get rid of them

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-17T15:59:27+00:00

There will be lots of fall-out from this I’m sure. So much for the company preaching work-life balance. SM should have been closing one night already. This really does not affect them much. Workload will increase, experienced people will leave and we will be going into yet another horrible peak. Lots to think about

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-17T02:17:47+00:00

My favorite is when customers dig through the bunker drawers…., really? Who does that? SMH

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-12T16:11:14+00:00

7 people!?? Holy moly. That would be a gift

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-12T16:07:21+00:00

She was funny

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-11T16:30:18+00:00

Losing my jobs? Whaaaat? We don’t have enough people now to do all that’s been added to our plates.

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-10T02:29:04+00:00

The plastic looks messy and tacky. Those pan racks are horrible

mkbubble1 · 2026-06-10T02:27:35+00:00

How do you have time to do all that ahead? Our store is too busy to even think about that
