After hearing feedback, I’ve decided to put in a rule against posting dumplings. I will keep the dumpling flair for any discussion that is about them such as topics about events (golden dumpling event) or stories involving customers and dumplings. The word itself isn’t banned but any post that contains pictures of dumplings you got or asking if a dumpling is real will not be allowed and will result in the post being removed. I will keep up any post that has been posted before this date, but any post after this announcement is made will be deleted. If you have a dumpling you want to show off or ask questions, please post in r/squishydumplings

Thanks so much!

Heya guys! I reached out to the owner of this sub and asked for permission to moderate and make some changes!!

You’ll be seeing some new things here. I’ve added user flairs you can choose from that display if you’re a customer or your position in the company. I’ve also added some post flairs.

So far I haven’t created any rules, but I’m open to suggestions. From here on forward I ask that everyone tries to tag their posts to the best of their ability and if you want a custom flair added please let me know!! You can either comment here or shoot me a DM.

I also decided not to ban dumpling posts, but to add them under a separate flair. If there is a large sum of people who would prefer them to be banned, please comment because I can make that a rule if necessary lol.

This is my first time moderating a sub so it’s all kinda new to me but I’ll try my best. Thanks for taking the time to read!

Adding in an edit: I want to clarify that I am not HR/PR. If you are having issues with anybody in your store, or had a bad experience in a five below location, I am not the one to contact. Please contact the official help lines.

Or maybe even just remove posts asking about their squishy dumplings?!? I’m tired of seeing these things pop up on my feed. Who cares if your dumpling is real or fake they come from the same Chinese sweat shops and break after 2 days of use!!!! And I especially don’t care if you got the “rare” one. It’s all just wasteful bullshit that’s just gonna end up in a landfill (as with most five below items lol)

Hell I volunteer to be a mod for this sub or something lol I just don’t wanna see those posts!!

And it made me realize how bad ACO only stores are!!! Omg!!!
Theft at the registers is basically nonexistent because you have control over everything. At my store I’m CONSTANTLY seeing people skipping items, or just straight running out without paying every day. Our store loses so much in shrinkage that could be entirely prevented if we were allowed to man the registers ourselves.
Asking for emails is so much easier too. With ACOs, people will just straight up ignore you or get real pissy when you talk to them. But with legacy registers, people are obligated to respond since you’re the one checking them out. I also find it a lot more entertaining than just sitting there watching people check out for hours on end.
Also the closing process was so easy!!!! The ACOS make things way too tedious.
Okay that’s my rant over hahaha. If given the opportunity I would totally swap over to a legacy only store.
