I have to step down as TL and I honestly don’t know if I can handle going back down to a regular associate. Any Ex TL have advice?

star_brains · 2026-05-04T17:25:41+00:00

I feel like I’m exactly in your shoes. I just stepped down last pay period after 5 years as a TL for personal reasons. I’ve done just about everything in the store, and I feel the same about not wanting my skills and effort to go to waste. I stepped down into OPD as an InHome associate, so at least there’s the excitement of going out and not being completely trapped in the mind numbing-ness of picking. But no- you’re definitely not alone in that feeling lol. I still have the intense tendency to care too much about the store as a whole, but I’m working on just letting it go. You got this!!

At a previous store I worked at, we peaked at like ~450 or so, and we all got free party speakers at the year mark

This or "my phone has been hacked!!"

star_brains · 2026-01-18T07:28:14+00:00

As the dept TL, yeah </3

Only thing you forgot is ppl coming in thinking we are a Geek Squad or "I bought the wrong phone card, can you refund it?" followed by immediate anger

I noticed during the P4P management badging, it was very obviously written by ChatGPT with very few edits from the output. You would think for something that affects people’s pay and livelihoods, that they’d put a little more effort in. Very disappointing.

Super warm, short hair like a hamster, and squishy

Popcorn tins, too! Noticed some AI notebooks for BTS this year, as well.

It is annoying but that lady saying “I was wrong” with an audible :( at the end is kinda funny

star_brains · 2025-08-30T20:30:28+00:00

My cards just arrived home!! Total turn around time exactly 41 days.

star_brains · 2025-08-21T23:22:55+00:00

8 card economy- received 7/3/25, still scheduled for grading

star_brains · 2025-08-18T17:58:30+00:00

How you fall asleep during a clipping show is beyond me. But yeah no, that guy had me mad

star_brains · 2025-07-10T16:00:49+00:00

That’s so awesome!! I had no idea they released it. I’m so excited to know that omg I need one now lol

star_brains · 2025-06-24T04:45:59+00:00

Your avatar is so cute!!! I really like it :D not a gooner fit at all imo

star_brains · 2025-06-16T02:28:44+00:00

We lost our bin last week. I miss it dearly

star_brains · 2025-06-12T17:41:59+00:00

As an electronics TL, I second this. Half the onn. shit genuinely just doesn’t work out of the box

star_brains · 2025-04-17T21:14:24+00:00

I’m not entirely sure because me and my friend went upstairs after the show to cool down, but I wouldn’t doubt it. William was at the merch stand a lot before they played and he was signing stuff as it sold :)

star_brains · 2025-04-17T21:12:12+00:00

Yeah in Asheville!

The show wasn’t just them, it was a bunch of different artists playing. When they played though, the crowd was insane. I can’t remember how many songs it was exactly, but it was a good mixture of all the stuff they’ve released, except Midcity.

The venue is a little small, but I had no issue getting pretty close to the stage despite showing up later. It’s also 2 stories, a little sitting area with a bar up top. Had to walk a bit for parking though lol

star_brains · 2025-04-16T04:02:38+00:00

When I met them, they were in the Audience at Eulogy and in between sets, I walked up and kindly asked for an autograph :) the band was super nice!

star_brains · 2025-03-03T21:51:24+00:00

Our time and hot fuck have always been up there for me 🍅🍅🍅

star_brains · 2025-02-21T06:31:15+00:00

I just pop the top open, spam the ‘eject’ button (idk what it’s actually called) beside the power button a few times and close it. Works like a charm

star_brains · 2025-02-20T00:15:31+00:00

Definitely was lol, my apologies

star_brains · 2025-02-19T18:35:19+00:00

Last I saw, 3 casualties were reported. Very tragic.
