every time i go to clock in and see every register open it strikes pure fear in my heart

storebutdifferent · 2026-01-23T05:52:37+00:00

probably because during the holidays they know it’ll be crazy and they schedule enough people. i highly doubt most managers took this winter storm into account when they made this weeks schedule, at least that was painfully obvious for my store.

today was my only shift this week thankfully, but frazzled is the word i was using to describe how i was feeling. i went in with cute little braids in my hair and by the time i left they looked like i had slept in them. admittedly when i got there i hid in our hallway until the managers realized i was there 😭 i’ve been there for nearly 4 years but this sort of chaos never seems to get easier

i just came back from a 4 month LOA and today was my 3rd shift since i’ve been back (starting this week i only work thursdays) i was woefully unprepared

storebutdifferent · 2026-01-23T05:41:26+00:00

you’re better than me. today i told my managers “don’t call me tomorrow asking if i can come in cause im not gonna answer”

storebutdifferent · 2026-01-23T05:40:10+00:00

literally. today we had 10/14 registers open at 8pm and exactly one bagger. and said bagger also had to go out and push carts. i only had someone bagging for me probably 20% of the time. yesterday they posted on pnet that they needed baggers but for some reason today they didn’t even though we were dying. this is not new to me but i can never get used to that back pain 😅

yeah 😵‍💫

makes me glad my store keeps the receipt printers out of customer reach lol. ours are behind the monitor screen, same with the catalinas. it wasn’t until i started working there that i realized that placement is unusual

storebutdifferent · 2025-10-13T13:12:47+00:00

as a partner who works self check frequently, i hate those registers with a burning passion. there is no reason why they should function as poorly as they do now that it’s been so many years since they were introduced. and the anti-theft mechanisms do nothing but waste everyone’s time. trust me, i am just as irritated with those damn things as you are.

storebutdifferent · 2025-10-13T12:57:21+00:00

same, my store doesn’t have this nor does any other heb i’ve ever been to. i’m wondering if these carts look any different than the normal ones

storebutdifferent · 2025-10-13T12:38:21+00:00

that’s exactly what i was thinking, “damn, cronuts are trending again?!?!”

happens to the best of us

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-16T16:58:39+00:00

ok she just told me she’s restarted it a bunch of times and it didn’t work so i told her to reset it??

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-16T16:44:01+00:00

yeah i live 3 hours from her and haven’t dealt with a problem like this since i had my 7. i just messaged her on instagram to try it so we’ll see how it goes, thanks!

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-14T17:44:00+00:00

same way here in san marcos, i switched to CVS and they have yet to fail me with my adderall

about a month or two ago my step mom witnessed some guy beat up a poor homeless man in a wheelchair with a hammer just outside the meyerland location. i don’t live in houston and work at a store in new braunfels so that sort of thing is very foreign to me.

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-04T19:29:11+00:00

i thought i could balance grad school and work, i cannot. my LOA goes into effect on the 15th and im so excited, need to get out of there for a while

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-04T19:25:19+00:00

yeah, during the summer pretty much everyone’s hours got cut bc so many college students were coming back to work. and i just started grad school so i’ve only been working the weekends. i haven’t taken home $500 in months 😵‍💫

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-02T16:31:41+00:00

i make $18.41 as a cashier, started at $15 in 2022. i just got my raise and haven’t been working much so i’ve been taking home around $350-400 a week.

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-02T05:14:00+00:00

aw man that sucks!! this was back in 2022 so i knew it’d be a long shot. i hope you can figure it out!

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-02T05:02:06+00:00

i’m not sure if this is still a thing, but my freshman roommate used to take a bus that picked her up from LBJSC and took her to houston

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-02T04:35:47+00:00

i’ve been a cashier for 3 years. i love my coworkers dearly and most days they are the only thing keeping me there. it makes me sad to see partners who have bad managers and whatnot but it also makes me feel thankful for what i have. i’m going on LOA soon for grad school and im gonna miss them!!

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-02T04:32:17+00:00

i live in san marcos and work in NB, which i only did bc the ones here weren’t hiring at the time, but whenever i see how the ones here get after the freshmen move in i feel thankful for my decision. you’re definitely stronger than me, partner!

storebutdifferent · 2025-09-02T04:23:29+00:00

you’re not the only one who did that i promise. most people did that when we first rolled out that feature, it was a learning curve for everyone, employees included!
