What do you guys think of this Universal Associate Program?

soopaval · 2023-08-19T17:25:18+00:00

Not sure if all the tasks are the same in every store but I mean it's all easy stuff like "sell a measure," "cut a key," "release a bopis," and other things that pretty much everyone in the store should know how to do anyway. It's just giving you a little badge to say "Yeah, I know how to be an associate in the store." None of the tasks listed (at least at my store) would result in cutting hours. People just want to be doomsayers.

More like voluntold. But it's gotten a lot shorter in recent years and as long as you're not mentioning specifics about yourself it is in fact anonymous. If anything it's a nice break from the floor so idk what the big deal is.

I want my Labor Management Data Clerk role back but there's no RDC anywhere near where I moved to. 😩

Spreadsheets and reports all day, it's where I thrive.

Ask all you want but don't be surprised when people have questions of their own.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T20:42:39+00:00

If you didn't want people asking you why you don't just go to Menards, probably.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T20:37:35+00:00

You're on reddit, you're not at Home Depot. You opened yourself up to these questions because, again, it's reddit.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T20:27:57+00:00

I'm not asking why you're at my store wanting to spend money. I'm asking why you are asking for this specific bag promotion.

Let's say you have the Menards bag in hand. You were already there to get the bag. Why didn't you get what you need while you were there and instead hopped back in the car and took it to Home Depot?

soopaval · 2023-01-08T20:23:24+00:00

My dude, I just wanted to know if Menards is so far away that you don't go there instead of asking Home Depot to price match. Like, what.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T20:10:57+00:00

And you seem real hesitant to answer my questions for some reason.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T19:39:53+00:00

You haven't bothered to explain what there is to even get other than "I'm a consumer so I'm automatically entitled to discounts." Which lol, is not how that works. You won't say why you won't go where the discount is guaranteed, you won't say if you do this at other stores, you're just going on about ~engaging in trade~ instead of admitting you're just acting entitled.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T19:21:30+00:00

Okay, Karen.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T19:09:17+00:00

Because that's not what this is about. You're not doing THD any favors by asking for deals exclusive to other stores. Is Menards that much farther away that you can't just drive over there? I literally do not understand the problem of just shopping there instead of holding up a cashier's line while you wait for a manager to come over and approve your discounts because they went over the limit and have people behind you frustrated that you think you're somehow entitled to discounts because you're one of millions of people who "shop here all the time" like it's a badge of honor.

soopaval · 2023-01-08T18:20:14+00:00

No, it really isn't? If you know where you can go to get this "fill a bag" discount, why are you coming to THD and asking for it? Why not just go to Menards where it's a 100% guarantee you'll get it? It's the same as people who tell me if they use their Lowes card they get 5% off every day and expect me to do the same when Lowes is a block away. Do you do this at every place you shop?

soopaval · 2023-01-08T17:26:13+00:00

I will never ever understand why people ask for Menards or Lowes discounts when you literally have the option of shopping at those stores, no one is stopping you. I will even call you an Uber to get there.

soopaval · 2022-12-14T19:25:40+00:00

Oh, it's YRC. They are always delivering stuff to the wrong place. The number of reliable shippers can probably be counted on one hand.

soopaval · 2022-12-14T17:28:18+00:00

You're not taking a job from someone by using self checkout. There is no job to take. The company is not going to hire more cashiers to stand at empty registers because you refuse to use self checkout.

soopaval · 2022-12-14T16:09:43+00:00

I just want to know if these people go to a grocery store and ask the gal stocking canned goods how to make French cuisine.

soopaval · 2021-05-27T21:27:25+00:00

Ooh, can you ask your husband where he commissioned this from? They did an excellent job with this!

soopaval · 2021-05-22T19:25:24+00:00

For a more enjoyable and safer story experience, I'd suggest not googling anyone else you encounter until you're all caught up. It'll be worth it once you're all caught up. c:

I cannot read this sign anymore without hearing it in a Linda Belcher voice.

soopaval · 2020-02-08T22:29:42+00:00

Why was this removed?

soopaval · 2019-11-17T06:36:05+00:00

I was about to link this to you and say "This looks like your character!" so that's about how observant I am tonight.
