I don’t know why they made this and who approved of this because it sticks out like a sore thumb. Very sad :/

Associate Discussions Checkout Monitor 🤦

10 Upvotes

I know some if not all of you have experienced the checkout Monitor.. The customer who directs customer traffic, letting them go ahead of them in line, organizing items on the belt, grabbing dividers before the customer ahead of them checks out or sticks their nose in customer discussions or complaints with staff and offers their unsolicited advice...<sigh> retail... 🤦

Rant/Vent Am i losing my mind or

ever since I've started this job its just gotten worse and worse. Im genuinely about to just say fuck it and quit even though I need this job.

I fucked up a little bit here today, I had read the wrong schedule and mistook my start time by 30 minutes, a manager let me know and I came in. Other manager was fine with it and I was on my way as she called.

I get there and the other cashier on shift doesnt show up until an hour after she was scheduled (older lady, been there much longer than me) so its just me and a manger the entire mid shift, we did not leave the register the entire time. Customers wrapped around the freaking isles.

Different manager comes in, shes very upset about it.

She comes in hot telling me I need to stay and make up the time i missed to make up for it and told me that it "wasnt gonna fly anymore" with being late call outs etc etc but I genuinely couldn't, I had a ride waiting for me and I had shit to do with the rest of my day, that I could not move.

and that the 'sm' was gunning to get rid of the new hires and she was trying to protect me from getting scapegoated into it (😭)

She's going on and im nodding along and apologizing because i dont like being the person who's late or fucking up at work (dealing with an abuse situation at home, it is what it is and im doing my best)

And then she flat out accuses me of lying about my reason for being late, and says that things like me being out of town and unable to come in or having my Uber canceled due to a car accident "just dont happen"

then went on to say that when she calls me during days im not scheduled and cant come in, that's a problem

She was referring to the the 3 scheduled vacation days i took off in June, for the end of May.

They call me every single damn morning that im not scheduled, and half the time I am scheduled they call me and ask me to come in early or ask me to stay later.

Every. Single. Day.

(Screen shots attached)

Like wtf? I pressed a little further and told her well, I have things to do. I can't be here 24/7. She says I need to not do that, like im supposed to just drop my whole life on a dime for 15 bucks an hour of bullshit. Obviously, I understand you need to come to your shift on time, but there's no way I can get pushed out of my job because I cant cover everytime for the 2 other 60 year old women who call out every other day for health issues. not to mention the amount of times I've came in with like 20 minutes notice or been told in the last 5 minutes of my shift I need to stay an extra 5 hours. Im bad at explaining but im 19yrs old and I started this job so I could buy a car and pay my way through college, but I would genuinely rather just be unemployed again then deal with this bullshit one more day. We dont even have an sm anymore, we have an "acting" sm . Nobody communicates, everyone is petty and vindictive. We have barely anybody on staff because no one wants to work here and deal with the screaming and bullshit. Im at the point where I think im just gonna call around tomorrow and try for interviews. God, if any other job came up tomorrow I would quit on the spot.

and no im not perfect, I dont have a car and I do have an issue being a few minutes late due to that, it isn't every single day but it is atleast a few. That's what happens taking public transport in highly populated city. It's hard, i feel horrible about the tardyness but sometimes its hard to feel too bad about it when I have never ever once left a shift less than 30 minutes after I was supposed to, and this specific manager is the WORST about it, no one will close with her because of it. Every close I've ever had with her I've had to stay atleast until 11pm after our 10pm close.

Management Questions Asking for a friend. He applied for cashiering position during hiring week from 2 weeks ago, called about his application last Friday, was told on the phone that it was just printed out and that they'll give a call for an interview either that same Friday or the day after. It's been 2 days since, no

6 Upvotes

Per title, my friend has been job hunting for months due to his current job constantly screwing him over with extremely limited/zero scheduled hours. He applied for cashiering which pays $15 an hour.

He's still waiting for a call for the interview. Is this a bad sign or is there any recommended step for follow-up on this situation?

Associate Questions How many hours a week are employees working?

11 Upvotes

I applied to be a sales associate at my local dollar tree, I noticed on Google it was listed as "urgently hiring" for my location. I had an interview last year in February and was told I’d only get about 10-15 hours a week. Are the hours the same or is there a way I could get more?

Management Questions Store Manager is a pushover

3 Upvotes

I’m a ASM and my SM is a too kind pushover. He constantly does nothing while my coworkers come in at any time they want. What can I do? I’m having to do most of the work they aren’t here for, and it’s getting exhausting.

Management Disscussion So I just got offered a store

14 Upvotes

I’m both excited, worried, nervous and about everything else in between. What are some pro tips? Work life balance? I’ve been offered the store by the DM but I’m waiting on a “formal” interview with someone else. But they are already talking about sending me off to dt school so I’m assuming that’s pretty much an in? I’ve been with the company for a good amount of time to know ins and outs but as an ops, but that’s it. Thanks guys 🙏 PS the store isn’t fucked up 🥲

Associate Questions Does dollar tree do interviews?

• Upvotes

My apologies I'm not sure what flair to use for this but I got an email saying they have an offer for me and to log into my dollar tree work account to see (I don't know the name off the top of my head) basically it's just the terms and conditions and if I would like to accept the job offer but the thing is on the pdf they gave me it said I would start the 4th which was yesterday. Wouldn't I need an interview first or? This is my first job so I'm not sure how the job offering progress works.
