Everyone at my store other than me ignores change requests it seems.

Whenever I bring change to starbucks or pharmacy they thank me profusely for bringing them it in a timely manner.

You can tell the GSTL you need change and he will forget until you mention it 2-3 times or tell him you need it RIGHT NOW.

I instead hit K3 to check if anyone needs change roughly every 10 minutes or so. Any time I log off a register I check, just become habit, and doesn't take up any time to check, since it's literally 1 keystroke.

One day, we had to give a guest change for a $100, so when the GSTL brought it, I told her I was requesting more NOW & why. It STILL took her over an hour to bring it!

TTOTM:

Today during the truck unload, where time is of the essence, you slowed everyone down by being unreasonable. Yes, I know the pallet that I pulled out of the truck had one item on it marked for Black Friday and that it's not to be pushed onto shelves until then. The pallet also had about 30 boxes on it that were definitely Push for Pets and Market. Yelling at the new TM I'm training to take the whole thing back, especially at that point in time, slowed him down, slowed me down, and slowed down everyone on the line. Yelling over and over at me "you can't set that until black friday, you can't set that yet!", is not only non-productive, but it's also not at all reflective of what I was doing when I took it out to the floor. It was so everything else could be pushed out before the BF box would be taken to the back room. If you would have ceased your screeching and listened and let me do my job we would have been done with the unload sooner and I wouldn't have started my shift off in a bad mood. I know I haven't been here for 20 years, but this ain't my first rodeo. You awful bitch.

To that one TM: You kind of really worry me sometimes.

Why on earth are you pressing "accept anyways" on a buy one free coupon?????? It automatically takes off the max price of 5 dollars and you writing in 3.84 on the coupon does not make it okay. I'm not sure why you tried explaining that it's okay because you're writing in the amount either. Where does that dollar something go then? Free money off to the couponer!

TToAP

You constantly push BOB and LISA on us, even setting us up by coming into our lane and making sure we check the bag you bring up (which is kinda dumb of you to do because no one seemed to think twice about not checking AP when we actually check everything else lmao). You should start making sure we (see: everyone else but me apparently) know how to properly accept coupons. The amount of coupon scammers is unreal and there is only so much a lowly cashier such as myself can do

Thank you for believing in me. I knew I could push 26 carts on my own into the building. Also thank you for asking if I was going to lay down and die after doing it.

TTOETLGE: YOU are the ONLY one who wanted this TM to be GSA. She is useless and you refuse to see it. It's frustrating.

 

[griezmanns]

Maybe start speaking to him/her in Spanish?

I told them *in Spanish* that I speak Spanish. She still gave me a dirty look like she didn't believe me. I've talked to other TMs in Spanish with no issue, she just doesn't seem to like it... but according to others she's been rude to guests also because they don't speak Spanish the same way she does. It's whatever.

There are so many forms of Spanish, to say that one isn't the 'right' Spanish shows serious ignorance on her part.

I did not lend you money for gas so you can give me an excuse every time I ask. That's what I get for being nice apparently.

So you speak *Spanish* and she speaks *Spanglish*?

Corporate has really been coming down on AP hard to get BOB and LISA PMR's and to make sure that all the cashiers are checking BOB and LISA every single time. It's to the point that our APBP has emailed my ETL asking for each of us to get at least one BOB or LISA case every week, which is nigh impossible, as all my cashiers are good at checking BOB and LISA, and few subjects try to walk a cart of stuff through the registers at my store, if they're trying to steal stuff, they tend to try pushing out altogether or concealing in a purse or bag.
As for the coupon policy, that's the GSTL's responsibility to train everyone on. It frustrates me seeing couponers, and if I see/hear something obviously incorrect, I will interject, but I normally get the GSTL's attention, and there is only one who actually stands up to the couponers, the rest, including the etl-ge, all roll over.

You are a socially inept, overdramatic @ssh---. Stop whining about the damn back stock. I KNOW you have too much shit back there, but wtf do you want me to do? It is TRUE back stock. BTW I had already warned two TL's and ETL-Log that it would be high back stock, so they were aware. Talk to the damn D.C. if you have that clout so that I don't waste time trying to push things that have absolutely no way of fitting on the shelf. BTW shelf quantities are true in the system, I don't know why they sent so much stuff, but believe me you won't shoot this messenger. I shoot back.

Don't get on the line 15 minutes after the rest of us and squeeze between myself and another TM. WE DON'T need you in this section. Get your bum over to the other side and bust a sweat just like we do on a daily. A dude handling the stacking on one pallet while we women bust our ass on the heavy shit of four each makes me look at you funny (women's lib, kiss my butt). We ALL should bust our asses equally!

I do this as well. Back up, get done, check drawer, request what is needed. Tell GSTL.

I honestly don't know how the hell you still have a job. You lie and say you're with guests when you get called for backup. The GSA SAW you when she called you for a carry out, and you said you were with a guest. She called you out over the walkie lmao.You grab the smallest CAF cart and spent hours pushing it unless an ETL/TL tells you to take a flat. I don't get why you seem to be a favorite.

I know everyone doesn't really like you. Heck, I even hated your guts when I first started working. I remember when you had to go away for a full month because of family issues, I was really happy you weren't around. Now I've changed my view. Most people don't like you at all, I guess I'm in the minority now. Thanks for everything undisclosed LOD.

My first Spanish teacher was born and raised in Venezuela and I studied with her for two years. Her best friend was my second Spanish teacher and I had her the next two. She's straight up underprivileged white lady with book taught Spanish knowledge even after travelling to several Spanish speaking countries multiple times. The second one spent two years catching her class up to where I was at the end of my second year because they changed books and the new one expected them to have learned more than three verb tenses in two years. She tried to fail me for using the nosotros/vosotros forms of verbs "because nobody in Spain talks like that". Except when we went to Spain...stupid cow. Thankfully the first teacher and the department head intervened and made her stop being dumb.

TTOTM: When you texted me, after your second day back at our lovely store, and told me that you were sick of seeing people making googly eyes at each other, of COURSE I knew who you meant right away. THANK YOU for finally telling her to do her damn job and for calling me and giving me a good laugh about it.

TTOTM(mentioned above): You're dating the guy in electronics. We get it. He's a sweet guy. But you still have to do your job. Every time you're scheduled, they put you in market, and EVERY DAMN TIME you spend your entire shift over in electronics, all the way across the store, standing around and flirting. Be a couple outside of the store. Other TMs do it regularly. No one wants to pick up your slack just because you're dating another TM. Not to mention you're new, and you are easily on the bottom five list of most of management.

 

[mrknownothing]

To that one ETL: If you want anyone in the store to respect you, you might want to consider being respectful to them, even if they're your subordinates. It also helps when you don't accuse people of doing things they didn't do.

TTORLC (The That One Red Lowes Cart)

Stop coming back into my store's parking lot! I know you are the only red Lowes shopping cart and that you live next door. I can only imagine you want a friend, but you have to stay in your own world.

(Also yes that cart isn't a TM, but where else am I supposed to put this?)

Well, since it's not a Target cart, I suppose one could argue that it's a guest.

My store is in a plaza, so we get a lot of "foreign" carts in our lot too. It always makes me laugh when I see a guest walking through the store with a cart from Babies R Us.
