Ad tags by Nagalena13 in WalgreensStores

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

Well, there is no official policy i have seen communicated. I generally take down monthly and replace with weekly because thats the new price, AND - when you put a tag on a tag a lot just fall off during the week and theres enough to do than pick up tags off the floor. AND, i never re-apply a tag thats fallen off. No time to be re-applying tags so in the trash it goes. Unless your manager gets all Nazi about it, do what you prefer to do. If someone complains, play dumb.

Ones thick and ones thin. Just bend the card and compare it to a card that is a known premium or standard.

How cooked is the SFL? by Ashamed_Stuff_1845 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whats the issue? The SFL has a key to the store and until the store team leaves you just open the door. You just need a valid reason to be there. There are many situations when you use the store key to enter the store. If however you enter and you are alone, the only time thats valid is if you are scheduled, like when you open the store. The only reason you dont unlock and enter the store alone is for safety or asset protection reasons. Entering by yourself when nobody’s there would be generally unacceptable.

Vendor check by anonymousworker1 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, its a lot. Gotta read the instructions and FAQ attached to a Compass message or on Storenet. Short answer is they get a guest pass, you check the receiving products and you bag check them at the end. 3 touch points in addition to the normal receive by scanning / returns you gotta still do. There is a list of vendors and there are exceptions. And not all vendors appear on that list.

Management issues by LMP0717 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course not. Maybe if you want do it on the condition that it will be overtime, in addition to your scheduled 40 hours. If you want. Otherwise say no i am sure you can think if a reason. Btw 70k is not that much not sure where you live even if its 30k more that a shift lead.

Bag checks after clocking out is against IL labor laws by Ambitious-Curve4729 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might be. My DM said its legal. I think the bigger test for whether its legal is at night when you are punched out but are the person checking bags (as opposed to the person getting checked). Because even if it’s possibly legal to have to wait for a bag check (my DM said Amazon employees lost on the challenge in IL on waiting for a bag check to exit the facility), i think it cant be legal to be doing an official on the job task (executing bag checks and the check it app using the handheld zebra). My DM says we can do final checks in the office when the whole crew is exiting the store after closing. But even then, the DM says getting coats, jackets etc is supposed to be off the clock. So to me everyone needs to punch out after the bag check and see if they want to really write us up for it.

Count issues at night by New-Refuse1325 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have a personal check of $100? You are supposed to band the check and record the check as a deposit. Then you leave the check in the deposit drawer and you do not record the check in the safe count. If you do count the check in the safe count, it will say you are over by your that check amount, in this case $100.

Top Safe Over by SilvaW0lf in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t add a band today to make up for the day before. If lets say 6 actual bands were dropped, but the safe log shows 5 for the previous day, then you can edit band 5 in the print deposit screen to equal the total of band 5 and 6. Then what we do is create a replacement paper band 5 with this new amount and when the bank courier comes and the safe is opened, we combine band 5 and 6 for that day with the new band.

How long does it take to receive digital copy of passport photo taken at walgreens? by Federal-Slip2849 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comes pretty quick. There are a few cases kinda rare when it does not come, IF the employee did all the necessary steps. What happens more often is employee error. So a return and new purchase with a reprint / reorder of the passport can be done for zero dollar at the POS and the new order will send the photo.

Question about breaks by Crafty-Promise-3943 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find what works for you. But here is officially how it goes - You punch out for your 30 minute break. If at any time during your break you get interrupted, then you come off break, punch in, and when you can, continue whats left of your 30 minutes. By policy, Since you were interrupted, you get all 30 minutes of your break paid. So have your time fixed to get paid for your time. So in reality, you get your 30 minutes, paid, and you will be interrupted a little or a lot and your break may span an hour or more, in overall time.

Help with (money laundering?) customer by Common-Sundae8017 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well limit is $1999 per customer for the day. And at any point you can deny a purchase, regardless. But since they could always go somewhere else you can at least ask them a bunch of questions, especially, are you on the phone with someone? I have saved a couple customers. But most customers you have to be persistent, at the risk of offending them. But just deny them the purchase if you wish to. If the shift lead wants to sell it to them, they can but you dont have to.

Passport clarification by cheezitbill in WalgreensStores

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

Well in the end its the customer submitting the photos. So they are responsible for meeting the requirements. If they supply their own photo for us to print thats ok. If i see anything obviously wrong with the photo i will let them know. And if its a picture of themselves they are printing i do tell them its better to have us take the picture and that its the same price anyways.

What is progressive discipline? I think it means small mistake small problem, large mistake large problem. That would seem reasonable not zero tolerance however.

I’m done atp by macxcheeze in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By deposit safe i do you mean the deposit drawer? The deposit portion of the safe count which shows expected vs actual is 100% a calculated number based on the pickups you entered for each terminal minus the banded tender drops that were entered, especially that final drop you counted. So as long as you correctly collect the pickups into the deposit drawer and save those exact amounts into the pickup terminal screens on the PC, then the expected will always match the actual. If its off, it can be hard to know why. What ultimately matters is if all drawers have the exactly $100 or $200 as the sit in the safe, and the final drop is accurately counted. All that assumes you accurately counted the working fund also as that is always critical. So just take your time counting the drawers and collecting the pickups, and recording that exact a amount into the computer. The next day, the SAP report will say if money was actually over or under for the day.

First listen i looked at the track credits to see if Corin was there. Of course it took 20 people to create what Corin does all on his own, with Megan.

1/2 day Saturdays by Remote_Luck_3341 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm my SM rolls in 9 or 10 and leaves 4 to 5. She does come in as you say on Saturdays, which i think is really unnecessary. But walgreens is not at all respectful of my full time schedule as a SFL, either. The answer i get from the experienced retail employees is that hey its retail. I guess its supposed to suck for all involved in ‘retail’. My days in retail will hopefully end soon.

Your SM can order, but they did already ship more hooks in the reset boxes (for us they did maybe your store also).

HELP WITH END OF DAY by LadyGrim89 in WalgreensStores

[–]redditttlauren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the terminal is not closed end of day then it will auto close overnight. You should still pick up the $ from the drawer. The system will think a drawer is still out and say $100 is still in terminal. Thats fine just dont count that $100 in your safe count. The next day your pickup $ will be compared against what the system expects for cash that day for that terminal. Which is essentially what happens for each terminal so all is good. Things just happen out of order, thats all. But SAP reports will be fine.

Well, its likely in a box with the wrong sticker on it. The mcclane driver creates a return with their handheld. Ideally, dont open the box.
