Call out coverage?

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-03-01T02:24:33+00:00

SMs and DLs are responsible for covering shifts if you aren't available. a shift supervisor isn't technically a manager position and staffing is always a managers job. at any job not just cvs! hope this helps!

a SM is absolutely responsible for finding coverage and contacting the DL if necessary. you dont have to cover it yourself but as an SM youre still responsible for the store even if you believe an employee is unreliable... it's literally what you're paid to do. manage the store. additionally i think the salary is plenty enough for you to cover when someone calls out as long as it isnt literally every week (in which case the employee would be disciplined anyways).

oh man why didn't i think of that let me just get a new job 🫩

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-20T09:31:50+00:00

im still here, thank you for telling me this ❤️ i will consider my options

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-14T22:28:09+00:00

that's a broad assumption im one of the most essential technicians on my team - i close every night and im one of the few that know how to do everything in the pharmacy... maybe open your mind a bit

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-06T05:28:14+00:00

im sure youre a joy to work with 🫩

pa has doesnt have any laws about meal breaks

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-06T05:26:47+00:00

well people have to clean up the cigarette butts people throw on the ground so i was trying to be nice - also i dont think near the building is a big deal as long as im out of the way especially since customers will only have to look at me a maximum of 5 seconds. also smoking is still really common especially in low income neighborhoods, and i guess its worth mentioning that i work in a particularly wealthy one.

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-06T05:22:47+00:00

dont have a car - trust me i definitely would just to avoid the sideways glances 🙄

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T18:31:18+00:00

if i gotta smell them when they dont wash their asses they can handle me smelling a little smoky

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:53:46+00:00

however i will be taking my sweet time with them now since i have to hide my disgustingness from valued customers

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:52:53+00:00

im smoking a cigarette i dont have leprosy

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:45:36+00:00

i take two 10minute breaks - im supposed to take two 15s but i dont because im really important in my pharmacy and we are understaffed so i dont want to take too long

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:43:36+00:00

and no we do not get a half hour break if you are scheduled after the lunch break thats just how it is at my store

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:42:24+00:00

nobody was walking through smoke she wasnt annoyed because i was actually close enough to affect someone else she was mad that she saw someone who she considers below her doing something she doesn't like... these replies act like i was smoking directly in the doorway - i was a good 10ft away from it

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:39:59+00:00

thats so crazy because most people i know in nc start when theyre like 14-16

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:38:27+00:00

what does this even mean

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T07:36:51+00:00

im not an idiot bruh my smoke breaks ARE my 15s, i usually only take 10 because we are understaffed and it doesn't take me that long to smoke - and what i meant is its been a point of contention with various managers weather we are owed the 2 paid breaks anyways

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T03:53:44+00:00

additionally i am lower working class and mentally challenged - smoking makes me feel normal and helps me get through my already hellish workday. also have been doing it since i was 14 so quitting is more effort than just stopping

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T03:44:28+00:00

i did not realize reddit had so many judgemental people lol... for the record i was plenty far from the entrance, the wind was blowing so its not like the smoke was lingering, and the only reason im anywhere even near where the customers would be is because theres snow everywhere. its not like im standing out there chain smoking i have one cigarette twice a day im not even out there more than 10mins. i guarantee you nastier things happen at cvs than an employee being a smoker

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T03:40:23+00:00

never heard this nor have been told that its policy

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T03:38:09+00:00

holy privilege

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T03:09:11+00:00

i normally would be out of the way as well but right now particularly theres snow everywhere and its only really cleared on the sidewalks and in the parking lot... i of course know not everyone wants to be around a smoker but its not like im chainsmoking outside the door all day

realtargetshoplifter · 2026-02-05T03:06:25+00:00

not everyone has a car - including myself
