2002 Buick Lesabre issues

Hello,

I have been trying to get my ac going again but I am not sure what the problem is. When I tried to switch from cold to hot my whole car shut off. Any time I turn the car off with the ac on then it won’t turn back on unless I plug my battery charger up into it. The clutch is spinning when it is on and does not stop, the compressor is charged, the actuator under the glovebox is working fine. I am not sure what I am missing or if this is just the compressor itself. Obviously I don’t need the ac, I can roll down the windows, but I would like to get it fixed because I don’t know what else is affected by it not working.

Also, my fan blades will not spin. I know they work because I unplugged the coolant temperature sensor and they immediately kicked on. It was recently replaced so I have my doubts that’s what the issue is. Not sure what else I can do to get them going.

I’ve done my research into this and I have no idea where to start. The car runs fine other than these issues and I know how to fix the other issues I have but this is where I am stumped. Any help or constructive criticism is appreciated!

Hell on Earth (The Sams Club Cafe)

I try to stay positive about things but I gotta say this somewhere, even if it is to internet strangers. My cafe is has gone so downhill since I started working there in December. I was originally maintenance and was forced to transfer to cafe. Not a big deal in itself but when I started there it was decent. I was training so they were showing me everything and I thought “this isn’t so bad” boy was I wrong.

Come January they stuck me up front and I’m just there for my entire shift. As soon as I get back from my break I’m back up front. It stays like this until the end of march when I tell them “hey if I keep doing this every day I am going to beget mean with not only customers but all of you.” Suddenly I’m covering oven or cleaning when I’m not up front. Things get better for a while. Then in comes someone I will refer to as Holly.

Holly was a previous cafe worker and is the embodiment of loud and knows it. She is also best friends with one of my other coworkers there and their favorite thing to do is be loud together. So much so that if I am cleaning I can hear them over my earbuds. If asked to quiet down they will say they don’t care and start getting louder to make a point.

I decide to let my team lead know that they are being distracting and we can’t work properly. So the team lead comes in and says something and starts helping out. Holly leaves a little later and comes back with a manager who tells the team lead to leave the cafe and stay in HMS for the rest of his shift.

After all of this the only thing Holly does is make pizza and clean. She does make pizzas fast but only when we are running out. She refuses to work upfront or work oven and throws a fit when she is forced to. She will disappear for a while and then come back to a long line and demand we turn stuff off on scan and go. We then have managers coming over and yelling at whoever is upfront (mostly me) to turn them back on. Then she gets mad at us and disappears again.

On top of all this our customers have been on something lately. Nothing seems to be good enough for them. We have been getting people that go and complain to member services and management that we didn’t get them their pizza fast enough or that we leave scan and go to take care of our register. A specific complaint I got recently, which is my favorite so far because of how mad it makes me, was that I did not clear out my entire window so that they could choose from fresh pizzas after I had just refilled it. They got a manager who did that without question and then that customer proceeded to tell them that I’m lazy and that I shouldn’t be working the front if I’m not going to do exactly what they tell me.

I know I’m complaining a lot but I have more. Our management has given us an extra rule. Pizza gets thrown away exactly 30 minutes after it is in there. We cannot use it for window and we are no longer allowed to take it to the break room. We have one manager who comes over and announces that our pizzas are expired if we don’t. We throw away at least 30 pizzas a day because of this. And to top it all off we have an oven out and management will not get it checked out. It has not been taken care of for about 2 weeks now and our frozen yogurt machine has been down for a month now.

I am at my absolute wits end at this point and no matter what is said management seems to find a way to care less every time we bring these issues up. I am actively looking for another job but it is a bit hard to beat the pay.

TL;DR Complaining about how much the cafe sucks.
