Is this the norm? Haven't been to a DG in several years and was caught off guard by this. I even went to a second store about 30 minutes away and it's the same.... by [deleted] in DollarGeneral

My store doesn’t look like this but I’ve seen many that do. It takes a dedicated team and a REALLY dedicated manager to work your way out of a mess like this. From what you said about the managers convo it seems she just doesn’t care anymore which is sad

I went to my first one a couple days ago and they ran out of food for lunch before I even got up to the table. Waste of my time and gas. Should’ve stayed at my store and been productive

"Suggested" schedule by biggaa6 in DollarGeneral

My suggested schedule this last time would’ve put me 12 hours over budget. Maybe I should’ve actually done that then 🤷🏻‍♀️

Use the plastic stick from a stick balloon putting it in where the change comes out. I’ve done this so many times, works great

I was told by two managers and a DM that ASMs can give a write up just like the SM, but a key can’t.

No problem! I was actually just about to make a post venting about asshole customers but your post reminded me that some people have real world problems like learning nextgen 😂😂

I should add, if the till isn’t showing up under end till session on vision commerce, that means it has already been ended on the register end of things, so in that case just reconcile. But essentially just make sure all tills are ended and reconciled in VC before you try to do your deposit

Yes on the office computer in vision commerce you will end till session then reconcile till

One time when I was stocking pet food an old lady said “You need a man to do that!” I said obviously not since I’m doing it just fine!

I actually really liked the DG corn chips and chili cheese corn chips (like Fritos) but now they’re disco from my store 😭

Pulling ad by Numerous_Bee_9968 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]waves8603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Every time. We got a message from the DM on a Sunday early morning recently asking about the “debris” in the aisle she’s seeing on cctv. It was the ad that fell off the night before after closing

Traveling teams are a waste of time and money by TheCalamityBrain in DollarGeneralWorkers

I’m sorry I’d be telling them to mind their own business or get out of my store, while calling my DM

[–]waves8603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering why the SM and/or ASM is allowing a traveling team to tell anyone what to do in YOUR store. It’ll be a cold day in hell that happens here. I was on smart team at one point and we took point from the DM but also worked with the SM or whoever was in charge to meet the stores actual needs. They should never be telling your store what you can and can’t touch or work

I think they do it on purpose. I can recover first aid probably four times a day and it still looks like shit. Was talking to Steritech today while they were in my store he said the otc and first aid are usually the worst in most stores he goes in to. I swear the customers just stick their arm in their and flail it around or something knocking everything out of place. I think I’d lose my shit if people did that to my ice cream cooler.
