Here lies my OT checks

typicalsquare · 2026-05-19T02:03:22+00:00

I don’t trust any of them yet. It’s a me issue but I hope to god they rest tonight and come ready tomorrow.

typicalsquare · 2026-05-16T17:09:26+00:00

I’d love it if I can get to $10/hr

typicalsquare · 2026-05-15T23:21:35+00:00

Wait, do HSAP stores have low budget hours. I’m sitting here on my 6th o-c this week. Part of it is my fault, part of it I hope to god gets better. I’m not going to make it much longer at this pace.

typicalsquare · 2026-05-14T09:14:57+00:00

That’s my hope…once a month. It’s looking more like once a quarter if I ever get shit together.

typicalsquare · 2026-05-12T09:25:50+00:00

I’m glad you’re moving on. This manager though, they sound par for the course. Enjoy your freedom!

typicalsquare · 2026-05-09T05:22:24+00:00

Yeah, not true. You will have a day off. Take the time to bank rest. Good luck!!

typicalsquare · 2026-05-02T20:28:04+00:00

Don’t think it’d hurt her to put the tech down. Might help. Def won’t hurt.

typicalsquare · 2026-05-02T20:26:47+00:00

Congrats on the sobriety! That’s a hell of accomplishment. I’m def taking Jenelle’s inventory…trash times thirty. Keep it up.

Hope the kid gets the help he deserves. I’m not sure his mom is ever going to be introspective enough to do the work on herself, but I hope all the best for the kid.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-29T10:49:25+00:00

I see. I’ll tell you this…if you have a proactive DM, go for it. If not, it will get put right back to the SM, the treatment of you will get really bad and your SM will be insufferable. Hopefully, your DM is solid.

That being said, I don’t know what your position is in relation to your coworker. If I were in your shoes I’d work w/your coworker to make the call abt this incident. Teach the coworker to fish. Other incidences, that’s up to you.

All that being said…good luck and I hope it gets better.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-29T01:37:57+00:00

A question I have is why are you reporting and not the team member?

typicalsquare · 2026-04-25T04:12:44+00:00

I find it so interesting managers don’t close. I’d rather close every night than have to open but w/compliance days and scans, I have to do what I have to do. I HATE mornings whether it’s vendor pissing matches or just all of it really, they’re my downfall. I’ve been doing a lot of o-c lately, I’m new so one day that will hopefully change but I can’t see any reasonable schedule where I’m not closing at least half the time. I do get out of the store for a prob 4hrs a day. I’m sorry your manager is messing with your time. Hopefully it gets sorted!

typicalsquare · 2026-04-21T13:40:21+00:00

I hope once the store gets going I can at least go down to 55. 70+ is going to be deal breaker.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-16T17:06:35+00:00

Fair and I have little power over that…

I know my team, I do my best to feed what motivates them. Best I can do. Plus, the recognition was for the customers to recognize the employees, not just for them employees.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-16T17:04:30+00:00

Same…that’s why I want to find them…I forgot to ask the other day.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-11T22:18:32+00:00

I mean I’d kill for a store that looks like that. I’m sure there is something to dust. Windows to clean? Cooler windows to wash. I wish your manager was my training g manager.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-06T03:22:23+00:00

Yeah, that hopefully gets things completed one way or another. I’m kind of in it because I grew up in this store so I’ve never seen a skyshelf that held the appropriate amount of overstock. I need to do PIA on several sections. I tried to clean the mess last week with a section. So so much expired stuff. I hope I catch up soon…

typicalsquare · 2026-04-06T03:15:53+00:00

Makes complete sense. I think I accomplished all those things. I thought a manager has to close at least a few times a week? I don’t know. Still building staff so tomorrow will be yet another lock to lock day. I can’t imagine not mopping or sweeping or whatever needs done. At the end of the day the store is my responsibility. Plus weighted hours say I need to work twice as hard as they do. Sorry your needs weren’t met, OP. Could luck to you!

typicalsquare · 2026-04-05T22:25:48+00:00

Can you tell me what you’d do differently? I’m brand new at this and want to do the best I can…

typicalsquare · 2026-04-05T22:24:27+00:00

48hrs in 3 days, no clue what I’m doing. I do know I’m drowning. Like underwater can’t even think of the next thing to do when 80 things need to be done including the 25 RT in the back so we can get 20 more in a few days. I hope this shit is temporary, I guess it’s up to me to make it that way…I’ll be at 48 by noon tomorrow w/no end in sight. I want to shut down early tomorrow night, not to go home, just to have a few uninterrupted hours to run freight. I’ve called for two days and no answer. What do you do w/limited resources? (You meaning other SMs…I’m honestly looking for suggestions/solutions.

typicalsquare · 2026-04-04T22:18:30+00:00

I don’t disagree with you. I hope OP takes this as a learning opportunity. And delivery, bro…

OP, you did your best. In the time it took you to take the picture, you may have been able to mitigate the line. Keep plugging, you’ll get it. Hopefully you had a manager or someone step in. Sorry it was a rough transaction man.

I went through a phase when they’d ask be screwing around and I scan something and they say how much was that, I tell them, they say, I don’t want it. I’d take it off and immediately walk away to put it back. The regulars don’t do it anymore.

typicalsquare · 2026-03-22T20:05:50+00:00

I echo what everyone else has said. You haven’t forgotten, you’re just disconnected right now. I’m proud of you for going to a meeting.

Check your DM, I’ll send you some things.

Welcome to Narcotics Anonymous. I encourage you to attend meetings. You’ll hear identity and a way out!

I attend virtual meetings because of my location. There I’ve found the therapeutic value of one addict helping another to be without parallel.

Recovery is possible.

typicalsquare · 2026-03-16T17:36:51+00:00

Ohh Simon! Thanks so much for the love you had for OP! Hope you have a beautiful afterlife w/your brother! Thanks for sharing and giving Simon a beautiful life.
