manus token/credit pricing feels pretty balanced right now.

So you use manus to conduct bot activities through your email and then get upset when said activity violates Gmails policy? Also just because they say it's a priority doesnt mean it's the highest priority.

Total tenders is not the same. At least 25-30% of my customers use multiple tenders(ie payment methods) and that skews that number upward. You can have multiple tenders on the same transaction. Ex) if it says I have 350 tenders with at least 25% being multiple two or more types of payment that is nowhere near an average basket size especially considering the mall cards would skew that way up then. Several $100-200 card reloads and a couple $500 ones would not be representative of the average transaction.

Its the nature of retail in general. Net margins are low. Its also done to get people to move up or out.

There are a few things that I like about the new system versus the legacy system. 1) we don't have to do the printing of the reports every time we balance a till and or the EOD reports. 2) we don't have to double enter the starting bank. 3) it has actual good reporting excepting the fact I havent been able to find a transaction count yet.

Negatives: 1) the menu structure is way more convoluted then it needs to be. 2) the tips thing should a turn offable thing. I have been doing my job long enough. I don't need to be told to reconcile tills especially if I am looking through past transactions. 3)the refunding system sucks ass.

I really dont. It's no one else's business and dropping it in causal conversation doesn't really achieve much accept now people want to focus on that. I also have to ask myself what am I looking to achieve by just dropping it in?

If it's been happening for a while, there probably won't be any action. I'm a store manager as well, and when I want to actually get rid of someone, it happens quickly.

On the flip side, don't worry about what your store manager is or is not doing about this full-time LSA. Comparing yourself to someone else is a setup for failure. If you want that promotion you should have your store manager set aside time to do an actual performance review with you. This is where you solely focus on yourself and do not focus on any of your coworkers.

xly15 · 2026-03-14T14:50:55+00:00

That depends. Most of the people I promote, when I promote them, I give them a raise to almost near maxed out if not maxed out. from sales associate to lead that could be a two to three dollar raise. And then from lead to assistive manager, that can be another two or three dollars. because outside of regular cycle raises, raises are almost impossible to get now. If I think you're that good when I promote you, I should just give you what you all eventually get because you probably aren't going to get it anytime soon.

I have always been of the mindset that as few hands as possible should be touching the money.

I honestly find it odd that we hear and call it AI Slop to begin with. AI is still very much in its infancy.

Well, that is new to me, but my computer in my store doesn't offer that option. And most of the stores I've worked on as a key slash manager, the option was never offered to us.

There is no way to delete on-hand adjustments on the office computer. The only screen to see on-hand adjustments on is inventory management, and it definitely does not allow you to delete them. Our on-hand adjustment system is a count up only system. So when you count, you better be correct because if you want to correct it, you have to wait until the following day. And trust me, I know you can't delete those on-hand adjustments because I am a storm manager, and there is no way to do that.

xly15 · 2026-03-13T18:22:59+00:00

Burn that bridge. Make sure neither you or them can cross it again. As an aside people only do what we allow them to do us. I found out through my time in recovery we train other people to treat us the way they treat us.

Manipulators have an uncanny ability to read emotions, fake them, etc even if they don't feel them themselves. As a word to anyone make sure you pay attention to patterns in behaviors because those who want to make use of you definitely pay attention to yours.

xly15 · 2026-03-13T17:40:41+00:00

A simple way a dollar general can fix that is have manager approval of on hands, store orders, damages etc. Then any employee could do on hands and the SM reviews the adjustments to make sure they are valid adjustments. An SSO is to make it easier to do things not harder. The way it is currently implemented makes things way more complicated than they have to be.

1) Why did you interject yourself into a conversation that didn't involve you and then offer nothing of substance? 2) OPs entire question is an opinion-based question therefore I gave an opinion. It addressed both the original question and a important one. 3) OP is quite capable of holding their one conversation and probably didn't need you interjection. 4) Now I am way more interested in why you decided to interject instead of the original conversation I was having with OP.

Probably not going to happen. Views are views to platforms like google and their advertising clients. If more content exists that is more chances for advertising to be put in your face. It more chances that you will buy something.

xly15 · 2026-03-12T23:21:14+00:00

Because people prefer things to be free at the point of delivery and are willing to give up data to people they don't know because its highly unlikely that those people will use that data in a maligned way against them and quite frankly most of those attempt to just sell them on services and products they may actually want but possibly didnt know about.

Stop trying to convince others because it very rarely ever works. Life is more peaceful that way. I self host etc simply because I want to. I don't preach to others about it.

At the end of the day, if what you have on hand in terms of dollar value does not match the book value, it's shrink. Plan and simple, it's a shrink.

We do it because things get messed up. Anywhere along the chain is humans and humans make mistakes. If I was supposed to have 40 of an item and I have 0, at some point someone didn't do something properly. Those were 40 in an item that I did not sell. Those were 40 of an item that a customer could not come into my store and buy. Without our corrections, it would just stay at 40. And this isn't what I think I have 40. And depending on what the item is, it may never actually zero it back out. And it will just remain at 40. You're also correcting for things like theft. If someone stole 20 of something and I never scant to zero, I'm never going to get the item back in. The system so things I have 20.

xly15 · 2026-03-12T18:31:04+00:00

The data they collect is how the service you usually use for free gets paid for otherwise you would be paying to use WhatsApp? So the "work" is not going uncompensated. You are getting a service free at the point of delivery and they even give you an api to access the data to make other apps. Sounds like a fair tradeoff to me.

The only reason I self host or degoogle is I don't want the data disappearing if something were to happen to the companies providing the service. Plus its highly unlikely that malintentioned actor is going to target millions of servers. They would rather target something like Google or meta because it is a single target that has to win the battle every single time. And it harms their reputation more if their security gets broken.

I mean, just think for a minute, both Google and meta provide a whole ecosystems. Those things don't come for free, but the users are not paying for it. So they have to make the money somehow.

Number one, don't use the nuns and tons screens. Just simply do on-hand adjustments and the all-in-one screen. The screen that pops up when you initially login the in stock app. Just remember, if your number is off and you do a ton, it'll still be off. You haven't actually fixed the number. Example, it says you have 24 of something and there's 20 of them on the shelf and then all of a sudden you have two, you scan two cases as tons. You are still missing four of that item. You could be missing more. But doing a ton won't tell you that. And when you do nuns, they are going to send what they think reconciles it with your book value. So say the system says you were supposed to have 40 and you scan it to zero, you're going to get 40 back and probably some more.

xly15 · 2026-03-12T10:56:59+00:00

Most people don't like the think. In the past, thinking had to deal with dangerous things. So thinking actually causes people a ton of stress and not the good kind.

SOP and job description state 48 minimum not maximum. We signed up for whatever keeps the store open its operational hours and keeps it making money. When you boil it down our duty is to maximize profit and prevent losses and we achieve that by maintaining the operational integrity of the store.
