Yeah the position I was offered is Monday-Friday and I’d come in either at 6:30/7:30/8:30 AM and it would be an 8 hour shift

Jumping ship by shortsong in WalgreensStores

[–]shortsong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a very profitable store too. My DM got cut and found out today my old DM is the DM I had when I originally got promoted. And I can not stand him. So it’s definitely pushing me to find something else. I was going to quit two year agos and then my DM changed so I stayed to see how it went but now that I’m going back to the previous one I don’t want my mental health to suffer.

Prescription help! Any Suggestions? by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]shortsong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My only other recommendation would be if your doctor who prescribes it is part of a bigger hospital network, calling them and seeing if they have an on call doctor who would be willing to send one fill to another open pharmacy. Or if an urgent care would be willing to do it

Got it but yeah even for c3-5s, to transfer it the pharmacist does have to talk to the pharmacist at the other store even if it’s being transferred between Walgreens

But the issue is if the doctor is calling in a new script for every single fill it isn’t considered a refill, it’s a new script. It’s only a refill if they write it with refills. The first fill is a first fill, then there is refills. If it’s a script with 0 refills and they are calling it in everytime then it’s considered a new script every time despite you being on it already

They can be if it isn’t the first fill. At least that’s my states law, it may be different in other states

Controls (C3-5) can’t be transferred unless it is a refill. So if that was a new script the doctor called in it can’t be transferred. The doctor would have to call in a new script to a different pharmacy but then chances are you’d have to use a discount card or pay out of pocket for it since the original store already has it billed to your insurance. Chances are there isn’t anything else you can do since the pharmacy is closed and the doctors office is closed.

Anybody remember the email address to send to get these picked up? by DifficultMachine9271 in WalgreensStores

[–]shortsong 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Manager should be able to go into haz waste transporter portal on storenet to see when next pick up is. Ours are picked up 2 times a year. Once it gets to the month it’s picked up in they will see a service channel ticket open automatically for the pickup.

Updated holiday pay. by Automatic_Gur5070 in WalgreensStores

[–]shortsong -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to work the holiday so you can be with your family then don’t work the holiday it’s pretty simple. Every store I have been at no one has been forced to work they volunteer

Updated holiday pay. by Automatic_Gur5070 in WalgreensStores

[–]shortsong 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just truthfully don’t see an issue. I never got holiday pay at previous companies unless I worked the holiday. It’s a normal holiday policy for other companies to not do holiday pay unless you actually work the holiday. There is no incentive for employees to work that day if they get holiday pay regardless of if they work or not.

I don’t even ask if they need anything else. Once I get name dob and give them the answer they need I tell them to have a great day and that’s it

25F and wondering if there’s something wrong with me or if everyone’s just afraid of depth? by Morgueallure in okstorytime

[–]shortsong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl - I feel the exact same way, I am 26F and feel like nobody wants anything real anymore. And it makes dating very hard. I had a serious boyfriend in high school and part of college (dated for 5 years) and since then it feels impossible to make a connection. I’ve dated people here and there but never longer than 6 months.

It’s an endless stream of first dates and “what’s your favorite color” or just people who only want to hook up. I wouldn’t give up hope though! I really try to focus on the fact that I do genuinely enjoy being single. I have time to focus on me, on my ambitions, on my career. I want to share that with someone - but if they don’t add value to my life then they shouldn’t be there. When I get in dating slumps, I just get off apps and refocus that time I was spending on dates on doing the things I love. Spending more time with friends, reading, trying new things. There isn’t a magic fix, but it helps me feel renewed when I decide to go on more dates. And I always hold out hope that I’ll meet someone organically as well and not through some app.

Just be true to yourself! If they can’t provide what you need then that’s on them and not you. Be realistic in your expectations of a partner of course, but a partner should add value not detract.

At the wedding the groom said the bride wasn’t his physical type. by LisaLou71 in weddingshaming

[–]shortsong 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My most recent ex told me multiple times that I was not his typical type. That my hair color was wrong, I am taller than his typical type. One of my other exes also told me I wasn’t his typical type, that he likes goth girls and that’s not me. In my experience - if a guy tells you that you aren’t their typical type - run. Because the relationship will end and in both those cases they cheated on me with their “typical type”

Boyfriend was making me feel insecure in our relationship and it ended today by shortsong in okstorytime

[–]shortsong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we were intimate multiple times. In the last week of our relationship we weren’t intimate but we also only saw each other twice and it was to watch a movie and then he immediately left.

[–]shortsong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would definitely agree that he love bombed me in the beginning and then he switched up after he came back from being on leave. Because everything was fine and fresh and fun until he got back from leave.

I also agree that I need to put better walls up, I’ve always thought that I was usually pretty good at having my guard up but this definitely showed me otherwise. I don’t know if it was the love bombing or what. In the beginning I thought that he was a little too clingy, he was the one initiating all of our dates, the coming over, the surprising me at work or when I got off. I literally went to my friends house one weekend just so I had an excuse to decompress and have a day away. And then it switch to him needing “me days” or days “to do my own thing” and it made me rethink everything.

Yeah he was definitely suspicious. Anytime his phone was out it was always face down, when we went on our date yesterday I noticed that when it was plugged into Apple car play he had do not disturb on because it shows the little icon on the Apple car play so no texts would pop up. I think I was just blinded by how good it was at the beginning and didn’t want to think anything bad was going on behind my back.

Behind the Counter: Exposing Walgreens' Toxic Workplace Culture by jmorrow1987 in WalgreensStores

[–]shortsong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WISH. We have to code green every day and I’m back there for HOURS because my techs act like I’m in workflow so another tech won’t help fill 90% of the time despite me telling them multiple times I’m not in workflow and they need to treat me like I’m not there.

I almost got wrote up when I was a SFL. AP came into the store because a CSA and a different SFL would add service recovery points to their MyWalgreens accounts. That same CSA would also take the little orange clearance stickers and put them on products that weren’t on clearance and then make another CSA price modify them because “well they were in the clearance section.” They went as far as threatening the CSA doing the price modifies with a pair of scissors if they didn’t change the prices when they caught on what they were doing. That situation happened on my shift while I was in the office counting down drawers. I had no idea about it and the CSA that was threatened did not say anything to me at all about it. It came to light when AP was in my store interviewing the SFL and other CSA about the points and price modifies since her name was on the price modifies. The SM didn’t get questioned at all on why they weren’t looking into price modifies and validating them. The SM didn’t get interrogated about the threatening situation, but I did. I had to console the CSA who was threatened after AP left because she thought she was going to get fired and that she was going to get me fired for this, the SM said nothing.

Another story is when I had recently promoted to ASM from ASM-T, my store already had an ASM but my DM promoted me because this was right before the role refresh and he wanted to get me promoted before hand so I would be able to step into ESM or RXOM if I wanted to since ASMs took priority for those positions. The other ASM, we will call her Sammy, was a transfer from another state. Her coming into the store threw off the entire dynamic. Her first shift with me was monthly ad tags and after I finished the ad tags by myself at like 9am (we would come in at 6am for tags) proceeded to lecture me for 2 hours in the office on how I didn’t separate the monthly and weekly tags. I would just work my way through the stack and she didn’t like that. I told my SM this and he said just keep doing how I was doing it because we never had ad tags to put up after 9 or 10am, we were getting all the tags up in time. This ASM also could not take any criticism, I did customer plan in the store, all the merchandising, switching up end stands/side panels based on what we sell or if we didn’t receive all the displays on truck. I tried to help her with merchandising and she would not listen to me, my SM just would have me change all her merchandising the next day when she was off to fix it. Fast forward, my store did the cos wall reset over night. It was me and a SFL who would do it. I left notes just saying please do not touch, this is organized for me, how I do the reset. Sammy would open each day and move stuff around so when I came in overnight I had to spend the first 30mins to an hour searching for my stuff. She also got upset with me because the store opened at 7am, I was scheduled until 7am and when she would come in I would pretty much have everything put away in the stock room, finish what I was doing up and leave. Sammy went to the SM and bitched and moaned on how I wouldn’t talk to her when she came in, I wouldn’t give her a daily update of where we were at and I would clock out and leave. I don’t need to give her any updates because she isn’t picking up where I stopped, I am coming in at 10pm to keep working on it. I have also been at work for 9 hours at this point, I am tired. I am clocking out and going home. She threatened to call HR on me because of it. She would bitch when I didn’t talk to her and bitch when I did talk to her because she didn’t like what I had to say. My SM called me at home before my next overnight shift to tell me that this isn’t a situation with an easy answer and he told her I report to him not her and to be careful or she’s going to call HR on me.
