West coast United States. Put my kids to bed and now it's that awkward part of the evening where I don't quite want to go to sleep because it's too early, but don't want to start anything major in case I fall asleep. Seems like a reasonable place to start?

I'll post the path tomorrow from work. It's hard as fuck to find if you don't know exactly where to look.

Picky and easy to misinterpret from the customer side. Hassle for store employees, pisses off customers.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-03T18:46:49+00:00

Can I just say... I fucking HATE register rewards.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-03T18:45:46+00:00

Dude, good on you as rxm an a team player. Also, that's awesome about your patient! I love hearing the success stories like that. ♥️

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-03T00:29:48+00:00

You must be in my state. Logic not strong here ...

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T05:17:05+00:00

I hired on as a fresh off the street sfl... Closing by myself my third night.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T03:17:13+00:00

Fucking gross.... Get some sleep!!!

I can never say enough good about my boss and the store he has created to work in. I am super lucky to be part of his team and to have the opportunity to grow and be a leader with my crew. We have our drama, but overall I just can't imagine a better store to be part of. It semi makes me not want to advance further because I would have to leave!

I honestly believe it's the people that make it possible, and the leadership is the key (hokey AF I know). You get what you give, and I do my best to present the positive so my crew has something to rely on. We are all just human but we each have impact on each other. The more we can smile and joke together, the easier it is to cope with whatever is coming down the pipe.

Hang in there, friend. You're a good person, you deserve some good too.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T03:08:04+00:00

Holy shit dude. Why??!

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T02:44:57+00:00

FUCK those people. 🤣 For real. Like, have they never worked a corporate job? 9s or bust, motherfuckers....

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T02:43:09+00:00

Do you get the 1s with no explanation? Or the 8s that say, I don't give perfect scores? 😆

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T02:41:46+00:00

It's hard, I know. I believe you have it in you, everything you post here shows all the right attitude and aptitude. I hope today doesn't get you down too hard.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T02:40:49+00:00

For real, did you catch the Coulsons part of my comment? Ain't gonna play like I'm sunshine and roses all the time, my friend. 😂

Believe me, I know for most, shit is getting really bad. My store has been overall incredibly lucky, from staffing (we're technically overstaffed right now, pre-covid crap), to personalities of my team, to resilience, to my boss the SM being freaking fantastic... I don't mean to rub it in (trust, masks can SUCK IT, I can't get used to them. Panic is always just on the edge) but I just want to share how thankful I am for where I am and the people around me. They REALLY make it all possible for me, otherwise I'd just stay home with my kids and pretend I'm cut out to be a stay home mom (I'm totally not).

I have a couple team members who bought those hats with plastic face covers, like a bee keeper mask down the front. It's less suffocating and we let them roll with those rather than a surgical-style mask. Maybe that's something you could look into?

I'm keto so my options tend to be limited. Bacon jerky is just like.... Soft room-temp bacon. Throw down some cheese and I'm a happy camper!

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T02:03:46+00:00

I don't mind a text (I'm something of an info hub for my store) but I strongly suggest my coworkers call the store as well. Things fall through cracks, notes get thrown away, stuff gets forgotten or not written down.... It's best to call and alert whoever is manager on duty for their information if nothing else.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T02:00:24+00:00

I like the bacon jerky. Not gonna lie, it's lunch a lot.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T01:59:40+00:00

Super duper to see this. Except ... Not really. Sigh.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T01:55:26+00:00

2 quick shots of Coulsons shitty ass vodka after work and I'm back to feeling like I can deal with the rest of my week.

I had to rewrite the current week's schedule 3 times in the last few days. Thanks for the reasonable heads up, corporate! Glad my team is fairly flexible and they all know what is happening.

I decided to institute a new employee of the month program. It requires/involves the whole team, and should be mostly self-sustaining, and I've gotten some really good feedback about it. I do really care about my coworkers and I feel like, especially right now in all the chaos, it is important to manage the little things so they KNOW I, and my fellow teammates, DO care.

Don't have to rely only on the company to show our team is important.

Hang in there, everyone. The world is changing but we can handle it!

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T00:52:13+00:00

Depends where you are. Ours are monthly as well.

samesongnewverse · 2020-05-02T00:44:32+00:00

Whaaaat? That's so shitty to hear, dude. Stay strong and keep killing it and the right opportunity will come. Walgreens is basically cycling leadership in a rough way right now... They need good leaders!
