So this has been eating at me and now I need to ask it.

Situation: My folks planned an early birthday trip next week for me, which is also the week of inventory. I'm not going to be there at all for it and I was scheduled for three days that I'll be gone. I had asked off in advance, like a month in advance, and it was still denied for fear of how my district manager would react. My SM wants me to go, or at least she said she really wanted me to go when she had to deny it. This trip is non-refundable and everything has been paid for: plane tickets, events, hotel, etc.

Question: How likely will it be that I get fired?

I don't see there being an actual answer other than "deal with it" here, but figured I'd ask this cause why not.

​

Is there any way you can get around the dress code of plain black shirts? Like wearing a black vest like how Walmart or Weis does? Are most stores strict about it or do some just not care? Mostly curious is all.

So the other day we had someone buy all 12 sets of Pokemon: Ascended Heroes that we had and OPENLY ADMITTED to reselling them. Is there anything we can actually do to stop these kinds of people?

Like I know Target is breaking seals and doing minor damages to deter scalpers, but is there any kind of protocol we can take? I know I tried doing a "One per customer" approach and I got some flack for that (stupidly). I really doubt there's anything I we can do cause stupid rules and DG literally doesn't care as long as they're making money, but figured I'd reach out and ask anyhow for future reference.

Is anyone else having this issue where people put in Digital Coupons and they literally do not take or are not honored or just not taken at all? I've had this happen at least 3 different times today and about the same yesterday and I'm getting real fucking sick of telling customers there's nothing I can do only to have them get shitty with me. Had a line held up because of this one woman bitching about how she was supposed to get $3 off Covergirl makeup, 50¢ of tin foil, and some other thing.

And is there any way I can like directly tell DG to get bent? Cause I'm that close to just...ugh. 🤬
