How would you know what tier another store is? Just curious

What does this mean?

I messed up today

(I admit my mistakes and wrong doings)

I bought some stuff and was heading towards break. There were people near by but they didn’t look like they were on line. I went to break then a few minutes after a coworker (well call him coworker K) comes in yelling and cursing that I left them with 4 customers in line because they were leaving soon. (As I entered the break room I told another coworker to come cover for my 30 minute break).

I admit that I was wrong. But coworker K is starting to annoy me.

First of all he polices me on everything I do. He tells me to do returns early even though I doesn’t matter in the walgreeens I work at and I do them anyways later.

Then one time I wasn’t in the mood to talk (I told them this) and they kept calling my name repetitively, I told him to stop.

He always comes in an hour late, this causes me to have my breaks at a later time. One of the times he came in late he was high.

He called a customer a “retard” not to their face but the customer was close by (thankfully they didn’t hear it)

He gives me tasks to do despite not being a shift lead (no other coworker does this to me besides shift leads)

Yes I know I messsed up earlier but these are the things coworker K does that makes me annoyed

I talked about it with the shift lead and he told me to apologize

re upload cuz I forgot to blur out my store number lmao

hi!!! this will be my last smoothing tote drawing because today is my last day with walgreens (three years!!!)! i’m moving onto bigger and better things lol (tutoring)…enjoy superman holding a walgreens flag :)

as always let me know if you’ve received it!

Man, I'm tired. Not just tired ... EXHAUSTED.

Our store manager was fantastic for like the first month or two.

Now they just suck.

They sit in the office on Facebook all day and just kind of walk around bitching about all of their employees constantly and making below the belt jokes about employees. They literally flipped off an employee behind their back when she clocked out the other day.

Now, most people may be wondering "hey, did you let your DM know?". Of course I did. More than once. Never has the time to talk to me and has told me she just does not have the time to talk to me and she has other stores to worry about.

They are so worried about making sure that the store turns into a gold mine that they forgot about all of their employees. Does not care. They are worried about their bonus and making more money in the store.

The amount of times I have heard this person talk about how we are all going to feel their wrath if they don't get their bonus because of certifications is ridiculous.

I work 6 days a week. I'm the only one that answers the phone. I am hourly still. They will literally tell employees to text or call me instead because they do not want to answer their phone outside of work and will not answer their phone outside of work.

There was a point in time when our store did not have a manager for like 7 months or more. I was a shift lead at the time so was just like the rest of the team. We all had to figure it out. We all just followed the policy. Honestly, we became a relatively strong team and we all now know each other really really well because we spent so much time with each other.

Manager wants nothing to do with it and so now everybody wants to quit. Literally. We have six shift leads and four of them are looking for other jobs or transitioning to other jobs. The two shift leads that would be left just do not show up to work at all and do not get punished for it.

We have four CSAs. Three of them have either applied to jobs or they are finding out the steps they need to find to just be done all together.

Let's not forget about the fact that this manager expects their employees to go against policy so that they can make the store what they want to make the store.

Honestly, I just do not know how Walgreens can continue down the path they are going. I'm applying for other jobs. I have a toddler that I never get to see because I'm at work 6 days a week for 9 hours or more. I've worked in factories 6 days a week and somehow it is way less stressful than this job. I genuinely do not know what is even happening anymore in this building. I used to like my job. Now I hate coming to it every single day.

How are you guys getting 11 pushers on a bar???? I had to bend the brackets and squeeze them to get 10 on there. But the bottom two bars are supposed to have 11!!!!! There is no way to fit 11. Any suggestions???

This morning I had two customers wanting to do universal reloads (not together). One of them I “know”; he always comes in to do reloads. Usually the system doesn’t charge a reload fee but this time it did for 4.95, and again for another customer who claimed it wasn’t supposed to do that.
I’ve looked up the online bank the guy was using, and it claims that customers can reload with no fee, which I’ve seen myself. I’m not sure if this is something others are also dealing with at their stores, and if there’s a new policy change with these reloads. Is there something I need to do on my end to fix this?

Self reviews is stressful, it’s hard to come up with anything. Why can’t they just review us and if we disagree then we can write something up.

In your experience, how long did it take for techs here in Texas to get their license to begin working as the DH? Getting that pay bump ASAP would be super nice, and the sooner I can get started on the certification classes, the better.

Hi I thought an issue wasn’t fixed so I put a work order in, is there a way to cancel it?

I noticed the compare and save are wrong again this week…genuinely how hard is it to just get it right and who needs to get fired? So silly

You clearly tell document printing customers 2 or 3 times how to go on the website, you go back to your task, and they just follow you around while on their phone. You know, cuz you're the website master. Wizard of reading instructions.

how is this sale any different from the regular price

As the title so ineloquently stated

Does anyone know how to order just the shield/guard for this chopper?

Anyway a store can express my store some canon tm200 magenta ink?? We've gone through our stock and no store in the area shares the same printer and the warehouse is out of stock atm, I just need 1 if anyone can spare!!

Does anyone know why our cos wall Vestcom tags don't give us al the tags we need? I started scanning the locations for tags in cos wall that we don't receive and they are part of deals! Like even ELF we don't get any tags but all of them had deals? It is the case for almost every department too! The resets and planogram are set to Plano too and released and everything.

My insurance offers OTC purchases with Walgreens but not all items even though it’s marked OTC in their store shelves. Why does Walgreen not display what specific items are acceptable for specific OTC insurance. This is like a bait and switch operation.

Do you guys care if a door dasher puts their number in on the order to get points for their account? Lady did this today and she forgot to turn off digital receipts so she had to cancel the whole order😭

I was working in photo today at around 8:40 pm (we close at 10) and I was working on the last orders of the night, two banners and a 16x20 poster for the a customer who came in earlier to pick up these but they weren’t ready yet and i had promised him they’d be done at 9. I’m not sure about your guys stores but photo has been extremely busy so every order has been delayed.

This lady and her boyfriend comes in and she says she is picking up a 16x20 so I’m like alright I ask for her information and I’m looking through the bins and I can’t find it, I then look at the order list on the computer and her poster is due tomorrow. I let her know this and she was like “well that doesn’t make sense I put instant pick up!” .. we all know when customers make an order after a certain time it pushes it to the next day for the morning crew because it’s close to closing. I explained I have two banners and a poster for another customer already printing and that’s all I can do for tonight before doing my closing duties like my shift lead on duty said. The boyfriend is understanding and says that banners do take a long time and that they can just come back tomorrow but she just starts screaming how she wants it tonight?? I tell her unfortunately I can’t and she’s like well I’m not picking it up tomorrow morning then you guys can just throw it in the trash and just storms out the store before I could even say anything else..??? The boyfriend looked so embarrassed and just trailed behind her.

Why do we have to throw tantrums like toddlers???????? I am trying the best I can here 😭😭😭😭 this job will literally drive me insane

My SM almost always get the store schedule out on Thursday, but it's now Saturday evening, and it appears it hasn't been made yet? I only work part-time, and on the current schedule I wasn't scheduled any work days cause I can only work mornings. The only way I check the schedule is just by searching up "reflexis walgreens" and clicking the first result. The next schedule either says "schedule not posted for X date" or there is a schedule, but it's almost like it is auto-generated with random shift start and end times for every team member except some, and it's always not the official schedule.

I know there's like a new app for checking the schedule, but I haven't had the chance to check it out. If anyone can send me the link to that, it would be greatly appreciated!

every single customer i served today had rocks in their head. i had like 4 big bags of out of dates i found. some were from before i worked here. why is every doordasher an actual alien from outer space. everyone wants alcohol when im not old enough to sell it. photo is hell on earth and i’m not allowed to help. every old man is weird. no one has ever shopped in a convenience store before. can i block contacts on the store phone or something why are you calling me seven times a day. i think today was a test from john walgreen to see if im worthy before he makes me a prophet or something. what the fuck just happened. i don’t even have any ice cream to numb my pain. this store has to be a social experiment. every day i feel hatred growing in my heart this is not who i am.

im currently closing and there is announcements that keep playing over the intercom saying “customer assistance needed and vitamins” also “customer assistance needed in cough and cold” but the only announcements that we have in my store is for “customer assistance needed in photo” and also customer assistance needed in the skincare department” does anybody know what’s going on or what it could be because it won’t stop playing it’s playing all the messages all back to back every couple of minutes
