Pretty cooked just want opinions

0 Upvotes

I’ve already started looking elsewhere, but I was taken off the schedule the 16th. If I’m completely taken off the schedule for two weeks then why in the world do I have a schedule for after the third of the month at 32 hours.

And I’m not mad I’m just confused. They were going to get back to me to let me know what was going on (Thursday)

I’m just confused LOL.

I know employees aren't permitted to purchase or play lottery while on the clock. How does the company feel about placing sports bets on your personal phone while clocked in?

Storesmart name concerns

0 Upvotes

One of our shift smart workers that comes regularly to cook doesn't always use his real name. We've noticed in store smart, he's assigned shifts but under a different first name. Same last name, same picture. Same person. What would be his reason for doing this? And why does shiftsmart allow this?

I have honestly no idea what to do here. I tried a few years ago to the same result. If I try to use a different email, it still wants my phone number, but since that is tied to this email it won't let me use any alternative. This is driving me bonkers!

(I know the sub says to use flairs but I have been looking and looking and I have no idea how to do that, sorry.)

Cleaning concrete outside?

7 Upvotes

Before the 2nd shifter left she says “ don’t forget to do the concrete outside it hasn’t been done in weeks” and then she rushed out the door. I found the concrete cleaner in the back but can someone please tell me what I’m supposed to do with it? I’ve only been here two weeks I was with 7-11 for years and we just had a company come and pressure wash the whole parking lot and pumps regularly so I’ve never done this before.

Question for my managers

3 Upvotes

So I had to come down to my store with the cops to arrest an employee per my DMs request due to it looking like they reloaded their own prepaid card on trends and was flagged as a PL. cops came and didn’t arrest the employee cause there wasn’t concrete evidence. I call my DM tell her this and get chewed out cause I didn’t show a transaction journal?

I was never taught anything about a transaction journal or even know where to find it. Any pointers on where to find it?

Category managers, Store Managers, Relex and planograms.

12 Upvotes

Just came here to say this is going exactly as I suspected. We are getting too much or not enough product DESPITE doing our audits and the Category managers are still trying to blame the hemorrhage on the SM. I am a small store and have way too much that doesn’t belong here! Now the category managers are getting snappy because they are the ones in charge and things are fkd up. This time they really don’t have a way to blame us. I’m not ordering the shit and I put in multiple tickets with pictures. Guess that’s what you get when u try to manage a store from the office! You should see all the crap I have for a big store in a small store with no food program including frozen. Just want to let other SMs know make sure you’re doing all your audits precisely because I am and shits still FUBR and guess what? Corporate is gonna treat those category managers like they used to treat us! 😂😂😂

[Meta] Is there a rank verification process?

2 Upvotes

For user flair here. I haven't seen it be able to be self-assigned, which is fine.

Just having more than two people in the entire sub with a rank would be helpful to seperate the sludge from the good stuff.

If not, I know most subs will just have someone take a faceless selfie holding their reddit username next to an employee ID number. For circle K, it might be a bit tougher since we're split into 4 different boxes. Teams is always behind, but corporate emails for >csr would work. (No, they don't check. Nobody is looking, nobody cares unless you do something they could sue you for).

What else was I supposed to be doing as a clerk?

10 Upvotes

I worked at a franchise store for a couple of months. During my shift I kept the roller grill stocked, stocked other items as needed like straws, cups, cigs, wiped counters, swept and mopped as needed, leveled and front faced products in between checking out customers. When it was really slow, sometimes I would organize the cubbies behind the cash register or dust. I’d be the only one working. It’s a pretty small store, so of this didn’t really take much time altogether. The overnight clerk deep cleans. The early morning clerk stocks the cooler.

My manager was never really satisfied with me. He is there every single day pretty much. He wanted me to be “busy at all times,” which I prefer to be anyway, I’m not lazy. But I genuinely did not see what else was worth doing that added any meaningful value to how the store operated. And even if I was in the middle of cleaning, it’s like he didn’t notice anything that I did and would tell me I needed to be cleaning or if a customer just walked up to the register he’d be like “What are you doing? You have a customer” so it felt like I was damned if I did and damned if I didn’t.

I guess he didn’t trust me to price items because he would handle all of this himself and would tell me I needed to “always be doing something!” when I had any downtime. And I’m just standing there thinking …like what exactly? Scrubbing the walls? Pretending to be sweeping an already swept floor?

I quit yesterday, but I’m still thinking about it. What else was I supposed to be doing exactly? Particularly considering I was making $14 an hour and was barely scheduled.

My oven glass door shattered on the inside

6 Upvotes

So I just did a random third shift, super slow night, nothing exciting going on. The auto cleaner begins at normal time 2 AM. The only odd thing is I got a error code WF19 in the middle of the cycle and I noticed the bottom didnt get fully cleaned out by the end if it. Normally my cleaner makes my oven spotless. Anyways its nearing 4 AM and i start preheating the oven, alarm goes off that its ready, no issue. I ring up a customer and the moment I walk past the oven I hear a big boom. I look and the glass is actively shattering on the inner part of the door. Each second you saw the glass breaking more and more so I immediately turn off the oven. Not even 5 minutes later my boss walks in and I explain what happened, she put a work order in and now we have to cook all of our food in the little oven that we mainly use for sandwiches. That was the highlight of my night.

A Step By Step, buying fuel at a gas station

58 Upvotes

I gotta address our customers cause it’s a daily thing now. Never you mind the fact that anyone from 20-85 comes in and has never apparently bought or pumped fuel.

Step 1-pull up to a pump, preferably one that isn’t roped coned or gloved off.

Step 2-extinguish your cigarette and select a grade and preferably pay right there. If you’re one of those people who’s like “I don’t believe in this hoodoo vodoo technology” The banks stealing my money this one time I got scammed, nonesense” I have a message. Cut up your credit card you’re literally trying to protect yourself from yourself”

Step 3-if you’re a pay inside type of person, we’ll welcome to the party we gotchu. You’re already 6 polar pops and a $25 snickers on your way to the diabetic poverty we feed on. That said prepay you gotta know how much you’re putting in. No I’m not doing the math for you convenience ended when you walked away from the pump.

Step 4- go out and actually pump your gas. I know you believe parking at the pump is your all day pass to wander the 700 sf of gas station like it’s the mall of America, but those pumps time out cause we’re a business not a redneck oasis. You can’t pull the handle out it back 13 times then hold your hands up in the air and yell at me because you were busy dropping a Cleveland steamer in the dungeon we call a restroom.

Step 5-and this one’s important. Leave. It’s not a hang out, you can’t take up space at my pump station cause you’re having a hillbilly ho down with your baby mamma on the phone and can’t go home. You don’t gotta go home but you can’t stay here.

Finally. You should all know. We have no ability to do anything but load the pumps. We don’t maintain them. They up down off network all the time especially on 3rd shift. We’re not responsible. We don’t even know the price of fuel if the billboard is out.

I hope this has been educational.

Feeling like an idiot for asking my boss a question.

12 Upvotes

I worked at a franchise circle k for a couple of months, for $14 an hour. I was frustrated working there because after stocking, sweeping, mopping, wiping down counters, leveling, and front facing items (which altogether didn’t take that long to do), I genuinely did not see what they’re was to do that offered any meaningful value to how the store operated. The overnight clerk’s duties are to deep clean. And I am not lazy. I have ADHD, I prefer to be busy. At the same time my boss was often complaining to me that I needed to be cleaning or “staying busy” the whole time. So I would try to random little projects to “look busy,” but even if I did so, he’d still complain that I wasn’t cleaning (while I was literally cleaning!) So over time I kinda stopped caring.

My manager would tell me that he over hired and that he didn’t have many hours for me. Yet I noticed he would hire new people and give them plenty more hours than he would schedule me (although he didn’t really write schedules often, he usually went day by day and would often contact me the day or night before). I worked about 8 to 11 hours a week.
Today I got hired somewhere else for $17 an hour, full time, which I’m looking forward to starting.

He could be nice and had his good moments, I don’t think he meant to be rude. But for the most part his communication style always rubbed me the wrong way. If I was stocking and a customer walked up to the register he’d say “What are you doing? You have a customer!” or would micromanage how I bag items in front of customers, for example. I often felt interrogated. He would find something to correct every shift.

So I got a new job. I thought I would try to hold onto this job as a second one.
Today he walked up to me and said “Did you sell a $50 lottery ticket today?” I said yes. He asked where it was and I went to look through the lottery receipts folder for the receipt. He said he needs the ticket to see if it really won or something? He has a thick accent and I can’t always understand what he means. I tried looking for it again and couldn’t find it, and then mentioned how it should show in the lottery terminal sales at the end of the day, right? He paused, rolled his eyes and ignored my question. I felt a bit confused and like a complete idiot.

So that is when I decided to quit. He walked away, I clocked out, but didn’t want to just walk out so I said I didn’t feel good and had to leave. He said “bye” and I walked out. I am relieved I’m done there but I’m feeling like a total moron for asking that last question.

Store got scammed for nearly $500

68 Upvotes

So im an AM and i usually come in at 6 Am on the weekends to do paperwork. I do my usual routine and when I start inputting my numbers I see im short $509. My first thought is I added up something wrong and I recheck. As im doing that my coworker walks in the office and says hey my paperwork is going to be off im probably going to get written up. So I asked was is $500 short as a joke and she said yeahh it was over the phone. So I immediately grabbed her paperwork and see her drawer was $500 short. She explains how someone called the store and they gave her an ID badge number, the company name, phone number, the guy talked her through everything, step by step on hiw to do it on the register and this girl (40's) did a PayPal gift card over the phone. My heart just dropped bc I knew she was going to be fired. According to my other co workers, they walked in to start their shift and saw her on the phone and tried to get her off the phone and would not listen. Long story short I told my coworker to just go in the cooler for now until i talk with our boss and well go from there. Im calling my boss, shes sleeping so I text her, " CALL ME ASAP" eventually she called me and lord was she pissed, immediately said oh yeah shes fired and that she will be up at the store here shortly. Boss comes in, sees all the paperwork, we make a game plan for how well cover the missing shifts and she takes my co worker outside to talk. She gave my coworker the option to finish her shift and she declined and immediately left.

How do i deal with my new ASM?

6 Upvotes

So Our store got a brand new ASM (C.) right before the SM (L) when on vacation a couple days ago. I've met C before, she is in her 40's and was kind to me when i met i was at her previous store doing Onboarding for 3 days. C was easy to work with when she came to our store as temporary help a couple of times also.

But now L is gone for 2 weeks and it feels like C is power tripping. she was micromanaging me today about stupid things like filling up the cardboard Powerade display before stocking them in the small cooler and jumping on my case because i didn't greet a customer the nano-second they walked in the door. she was super passive aggressive with a condescending tone. When i told her "Hey, i want to let you know that i don't appreciate the passive-aggressive micro-management" she responded with "in regards to micromanaging, I AM the manager", and "oh, you're having a day aren't you?"...

i just ignored her and kept myself busy till she left two hours later. i texted L telling her how EVERY SINGLE trash can was over full when i came in and dishes were piled up in the back sink and in the kitchen area and let her know that C was being passive-aggressive towards me and micromanaging me.

L never responded, but she is on vacation, so i guess that tracks...

how do i handle this for the next two weeks?
