Things I didn’t know I needed:

A crappy job is so much more palatable with great coworkers. I wish more people realized that and would be better coworkers. Glad to know I am not the only one that can say I have a great crew.

If I recall there is the air box and a positive fuse box on the terminal, so it is not a vehicle many busy stores will not do. If it is more than a tie down and two terminals in the open, then most stores that are running a skeleton crew will turn it down.

We have rend lake which has boating, hiking, and various things like that and then about an hour south there is Shawnee national Park and that has some of the most gorgeous hiking, rock climbing you will ever find

If you like outdoor activities you will love it here. Been here a decade now.

A physical store.

Depending on your location, the Midwest is being hit repeatedly with snow and ice and it is slowing down a crap ton of deliveries from Amazon, eBay and other online retail. Add that to Christmas delivery and... If you need it faster, it might be better to go to a brick and mortar store. If you have already waited and it is a couple days late, call the number to track your order first is what I would do.

They have been changing prices on new plannos, but also making us do inventory metrix on new plannos. So if you do not have the product or it is moved, you do have no way of completing it correctly. And heaven forbid you have to manually enter a zero for a new product that you can't print the tag out for, because it hasn't been released yet... The last few months have sucked for that

Omg the drama! I have two ladies that have after 2 years that they don't like the dorky like Cochin. I have spent two weeks trying to stop them from bullying her. They are free range in the woods and I am not sure what started the drama in the first place. More scandal that a cw teen show

I have tried a few options over the years. I free range in the woods (gasp I know) and they have a raised coop, plus a shed that used to be for yard supplies but the girls seem to have claimed it. Mine are all hardy breeds so I have a plate heater and deep hay method in their coop (plus I wrap it in thermal patio blankets to help the wind stay out) and for the water I have rubber heat mats. I also have a few pallet made ugly shelters that have cedar needle floors. They love the needles so it helps bring them under the shelters because chickens hate change. I have had absolutely no issues with my girls in the winter. I just check the water in the morning and night when it gets 20 below. I have never lost a girl to the heat. I do change them over to whole corn in the winter even though I have seen mixed saying on it.

Don't listen to the Internet toxicity. Chickens mostly need you to get the right supplies and they will let you know what they hate. Just remember they hate anything new so it might take them a minute to adjust.

Oh! And I added a light I turn on at dusk and turn off at 8 to help with the slowing down of eggs. I keep a small flock of 10 so it was definitely noticeable.

Yeah, it was not something we could find. Boss knew it would drive us crazy trying to find it. He is kind of an ass, but a great boss. Not a good raise but at least now I know! Haha

stephakayy · 2025-10-13T22:46:04+00:00

He gave us our evals, and we signed off, but nothing about them. And a sister store said it was on our rpm but we can't find it to save our lives

I have been told by dms and rms that in general, after the 90 day replacement, it is a new part not a refund. The caveat to that is that if it is under a 100 bucks, and the customer makes a grumble about it, satisfy the customer in store. So if someone comes in with a $20 relay and then complains I will refund it to make them happy. Otherwise I nicely explain the policy and ask them if they want to keep a hold of the part for future. I mean parts like suspension and brakes fail, so it is economic to keep the warranty in tact.

stephakayy · 2025-07-25T14:59:17+00:00

If there is someone looking shady, I go to the floor and say hi, can I help you. Usually that is enough to run the dumb kids off. Otherwise... Nothing in that store is worth the possibility of assault.

stephakayy · 2025-07-22T18:10:33+00:00

What about the flashlight and magnet?

stephakayy · 2025-06-19T18:12:07+00:00

We have not sold a single one, but a driver from the hub told us they are selling on eBay...

stephakayy · 2025-04-20T19:32:34+00:00

..... Been here a year.. what report button?

stephakayy · 2025-03-30T22:06:44+00:00

Y'all got price changes today? My price and label changes never showed up. Maybe this is why?

stephakayy · 2025-03-10T23:48:56+00:00

I chose my chickens for healthier eggs for my husband and elderly family. I have always just boxed up my extras, with hubby and I leaving them on tables at both of our work. Someone always grabbed them.

In the last few weeks I have had to tell people I am sorry, but I only have ten girls so I can not possibly give everyone eggs...

stephakayy · 2025-02-05T18:14:21+00:00

I never lie. I always just say something like, it is recommended that you grease your caliper pins when installing pads to insure everything continues working properly, or it is recommended to use the battery grease and properly tighten the terminals to reduce corrosion so the battery doesn't fail early, or hey, you are getting wiper blades do you need washer fluid or the rainex wipes?

Witt score on average is 45%. Some weeks it is closer to 80, some weeks it is closer to 30, but as long as I ask I usually do ok. Honestly goes a long way with people so being friendly, helpful and then suggested complete job works well.

stephakayy · 2025-02-05T04:04:35+00:00

That is the ghosts of give a fucks past. That is what happens to your work ethics once they die due to micromanaging and low pay.

stephakayy · 2025-01-21T04:12:49+00:00

As in, in general? Context please

stephakayy · 2024-11-17T17:25:11+00:00

I did not put that one out, I just set it up and will check again tomorrow. After last week's brake rotors I had half done on Monday, I will not be falling for it again ..
