I worked at Dollar General Distribution jn Central Florida for 9 years. Gonna be starting a new job at Ben E. Keith Distribution next week.

Their pay structure is unique in that you get paid by the case. I know Sysco is like that as well. I am a pretty hard worker. At DG, we had production and we got incentive pay on top of hourly pay, but as you would guess, it wasn’t really significant unless you were getting 120% and holding that for most of the week. Obviously, getting paid by the case is a little different but I would guess it’s not as bad as it sounds (or maybe it is) I don’t know.

Does anyone have knowledge with this? What are downsides and upsides to it? Do you know of any other companies that do this?

This is the only thing that has me a little hesitant but again, that might be because it’s new. I am currently not working so not trying to be picky. Been looking for jobs for two weeks and no luck (until now). And of course, I got offered a position to work as an Amazon driver. I really wanted to do that, but asking people I know all suggested the warehouse. I know Amazon is less pay and more b.s. (definitely more demanding mentally than physically compared to warehouse, in my opinion). Even if a job is “easier” physically, I don’t automatically gravitate towards it. I enjoy working in a warehouse setting, just didn’t like the b.s. at DG.

But yeah, what is your experience working at a warehouse that js 100% incentive based? Any thoughts? Upside? Downsides? Has anyone heard of Ben E. Keith? The shift is Monday-Thursday and every other Friday is mandatory. Leave when the work is done (but that’s how DG was but we still knew around when we were leaving.

Oh yeah, because state law in Fl requires us they pay us overtime pay, they take whatever we pick per hour and times that by how many hours. So if we average $21 an hour picking, and we work 8 hours overtime, they times 8x21.

Is there a difference between the plastic Wave Pop Filter or a windscreen that you put on top of your mic? The pop filter came unglued a little bit. Thinking about getting another one (found on Elgato website but no button to buy or add to cart) or just going with a windscreen. Any suggestions?!

Outside of convenience, does an air fryer really make food taste better than an oven? Purely on taste and quality, not like clean up and size. I have read that many air fryers are essentially small ovens. I cook almost everything in oven, even stuff that doesn’t have oven directions (thanks google)

First time playing GTA 5 Online and need help [ONLINE RIGHT NOW]

Gamertag on everywhere: djxgam1ng [N/A FLORIDA PC & in my 30s]

Trying to find some people to play with and level up. Not that great at gaming. I dont get a chance to play often. Maybe a couple hours a week at most. Sometimes not even that. Just want to try and earn money to use some of the cooler weapons and try out the newet stuff. I would like to try out the Heist but I dont have no one to run with. I can buy shark cards all day but prefer not because I prefer to use that money spent elsewhere. If you think I should just wait until 6, thats fine. lol . I just dont have very many friends and just trying to experience the game.

I have never played the story other than 1st two missions. Any chance someone could help me ouT? Gamertag is Djxgam1ng. You can delete this message and kick me out the server if this is against the rules. I am just trying to meet people and not having luck
