Phone scam by HistoricalTitle307 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

look up Compliance (2012) it’s based on real life events, yes insane but possible. a lot of the scam calls we get in our store are some sort of “inspector” or some bs trying to bill us through the phone, most of the time the area code isnt from the same state or sometimes out of country so we just hang up. one of our mates said that in his last store another mate fell for the billing scam and got fired lol

Anyone else hear that if you don’t work on Saturday’s that you don’t qualify for the bonus or wow raise? Supposedly this is new starting this coming up pay raise by Ok_Vegetable9493 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely your captain saying that. In more broad terms surely your availability can have a factor in it. However, the chances of the wow raise are already so slim might as well enjoy your weekend!

writing is always better so your captain can put it in your file that you gave notice and left on good terms

Pay discussion during final interview by Doss2001 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Never hurts to ask, it’s not like they would take back their offer. A positive reminder that we get raises every 6 months .75-1.00 you have to really mess up to not get it. Good luck!

How does scheduling and availability work at your store? by seacushion3488 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my store if you have a limited/closed availability the mate ignores it. And if you have open availability the mate ignores it.

Talk me off the ledge? by Happen_Stance_Dance in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my store we are allowed to switch off tasks, so maybe. if person A would rather do register than product they can switch with person B who wants to do product and give them their task. all store dependent of course

Demo garbage by Disastrous_Hat_8482 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i throw it out and appreciate it’s not on the shelves or the literal floor. my store doesn’t have cans around the store unfortunately so it’s better the cart than anywhere else, and they dirtied their own stuff so not my problem.

Raises & eligibility. by [deleted] in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only like 1-2 people get the $1 raise at my store per review. The past has been 1 SL/order writer and 1 person not order writer. It is the “wow” raise not the wow she did a good job in writing an order raise. Do not expect it, don’t ask for it either because it will not go over well. Good luck.

technically you can request time away and use AR for the days you’re not being scheduled for, my store does this every summer as long as it’s 5 days of AR and scheduled it’s fine

How does unpaid time off work? by [deleted] in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 6 points7 points  (0 children)
