It says I need flair, so 'Discussions' it is.

My last day is today. I was not keen on DT skincare and make up much before working there, but I was put in HBC because I DID know a lot about actives and ingredients in skincare and higher end products that were easy to spot the 'dupe' of.

Now, I'm going to miss the trucks and the feeling obligated to know what's going to flip quick and make my customers happy over the last two years. I plan to go in at least once per week, likely nights when the cashier I'm helping train up to replace me is working. Note: She is NOT taking over HBC, someone else is.

So the question is, how do you all shop at DT for your needs and not have it take ALL DAY?

I unfortunately do not trust the person who's been tasked with keeping HBC up to do it to the same level I do. I saw it before I was hired when she was doing it, and I've no reason to think she's going to do any differently.

How do you all navigate the section best when it's not easily shoppable?

TIA!

I mostly do dried beans, and today the garbanzos boiled over and the foam dried out before I cleaned it. It was light, like a meringue cookie. I was surprised to say the least.

I'm looking and finding tons of recipes that use the canned bean juice, but I do dried.

How can I accomplish the same consistency and uses as canned bean juice?

TIA.

So I started my new job as SFL at Walgreens on the 7th, overlapping my last two weeks at DT.

I signed up for the version of 'Daily Pay' W uses because I had mention I MIGHT just walk from DT if my SM got combative, and my SM at W taught me how to set up to get my W wages early if needed.

Today, Earnin' updated with my DT wages AND my W wages.

Is that normal? I set up daily pay to avoid last paycheck issues others have had, and now I'm kinda confused.

Anyone experienced this?
Daily Pay is ALSO calculating what I can transfer in wages earned. Earnin' is still 'awaiting bank verification', but says it has my earnings from DT.

So the last three people who resigned, my SM held the paper check and wouldn't send it to them until they came in and talked to her. She keeps them locked up someplace.

I set up Daily Pay right after I accepted the offer at the new job, and my check from the 15th was deposited via Daily Pay.

Will my FINAL check come that way as well?
Do I have to transfer part of it before the time to have the rest come through?

Otherwise I'm going to go in after with my Mister with me when they're visibly busy and she can't corner me or make me go somewhere off camera, because I don't want a mess of screaming and things like when the last ASM quit. I'll just leave, IDGAF if it's a violation of my work agreement with DT.

I would RATHER not have to walk away from my final check, but I will to avoid the interaction with the SM if she's going to behave that way.

Anyone who used DailyPay and then quit? Did you get paid?

TIA.

WHOO HOO, I can see my house from my new job.

Which means even LESS driving. ( I average about 25 miles per week now. I will likely hardly drive anymore...Anyone wanna buy a car? (No, not really, but...))

I have one more parcel to the 435/ 8% tier, and 19 more badges to hit the 15% passport.

I have a habit of buying up my favorite places, and new job is in the same little town I'm Mayor of and live in. I would like to retain that if possible.

The Day I was interviewed, I bought the open space I parked in. Legendary.
The Day I was accepted the offer? The office. Epic.
My First Day? Breakroom. Rare.

There's some emotional motivation to buying up my new workplace.

I ran it though AE Calc, and it really seems like there's NO WAY I'll be able to boost my passport in the next YEAR unless the company decides to lend me out to another location or my Husband and I travel. WE HATE TRAVELING.

I'm leaning towards just get past the tier and settle for the 8% boost, rather than make any attempt to hunt down badges. I can MAYBE get 6 total more IF we make a long road trip to get specialty groceries and hit specialty shops.
We really have no need to, at all. Travel. Gross.

Thoughts?

ONE MORE WEEK!

But I was curious. Tonight while looking up an associates home number (She's been promoted to manager....AND WAS NEVER EVEN TOLD, APPARENTLY! That's a whole OTHER story. ) it dawned on my how much information is on there. SSN, permanent address, birthdate. That's just 'HELLO, STEAL MY IDENTITY!' in the wrong hands

Should just TAKE mine on my last day. I close the store, alone, and intend to leave my keys when I lock up.

The guilt trips and manipulation are in full effect. Soon to be former SM didn't say that verbatim, but it was sure AF implied it was my fault more than a few times yesterday.

No, ma'am, SOMEBODY has to work , because you refuse to work any weekend yourself and the one remaining ASM can be easily bullied into it.

Do I feel bad? Sure. For the other ASM that she fell for your manipulation, not that I'm getting away from your abusive sh*t.

Guess what? My last day is the 20th. Deal with it.

ETA: A LOT of folks saying my SM is on a power trip. I can almost unequivocally say it is not that. She even said 'I didn't see anything, but technically corperate says you're not not allowed to wear it.'

It's not a matter of my SM saying no, it's a matter of me, as a expressive and outgoing person who is taking a new job wanting to know what IS ALLOWED PER CORPERATE! The dress policy is not clear, so I want clarification.

Again; WHAT IS ALLOWED in terms of personal dress deviation from the outlined 'Navy Collared shirt, Black Pants or Knee length skirt, name badge on chest' etc?

I'm going to be a shift lead, and I wore my little Baby Avengers Captain America pin on my collar the first day. I was told that unfortunately it was not allowed, so I put him in my pocket.

I see people with face piercings, rainbow hair, chunky bracelets and necklaces, and big tattoos in the store working.

Why can't I have my pin?
Is it because I'm Shift Lead?
Is it a NEW policy that's only being enforced for new hires?

Now I've concerns about my themed hair clips or jewelry. I was considering cycling in some fun accessories, but now I'm unsure.

What IS allowed? I know it will depend on my store and my SM, but generally, what CAN I wear beyond the uniform?

No spending real money, no traveling, No AMP, it CAN be done. (Minigame, arcade, Rent Boost and survey heavy tasks over here)

Anyone else get it done?

I'm preparing for the potential of a messy exit from Dollar Tree and want to set up Earnin' so I can pull my training hours at Walgreens pay out if I walk today from The Tree and need it.

DT has a long history of never paying you your last check unless you get the State involved and FORCE them to.

Earnin' keeps sending me an e-mail link saying there's an issue, and to download the app, and my laptops AntiMalware (Malwarebytes) and AntiVirus (Avast) are FREAKING OUT when I click it.

Did I use the wrong site? >.>

Kinda don't wanna download this app the e-mail wants me to if my laptop is freaking out.

Advice?

First, why do I even care, my last day is the 20th?
Second, Oh yeah. Cuz I'm showing these Mofos what they're losing.

ANYWAY~

The DM told one of the other ASMs to tell me to do the 'Zone O Grams' last week, to be done by 5/10/2026. Other ASM never told me a GD thing.

Today, I get a follow up VISIT Action Plan e-mail in the store e-mail and see I'm tasked to do them by 5-10.

F*ckin' News to ME!

Anyway, I texted the DM and flat told her I had no idea what they even were, and apologized as the first I was hearing of even being tasked with it was today, from the VISIT e-mail. No reply yet.

What are they?
How are they done?

I searched Zone O Gram in Global Search and NOTHING came up.

Help me, Obi-Wan Reddit, You're my only hope.

I really wanna get this done and done well. Because SPITE~

Is that the right flair, idek?

What it says on the label.

Started my first shift as Shift Lead last night.

I'm overlapping while my last two weeks at Dollar Tree as an ASM.

What do I need to know?
What do you wish YOU knew when you first started with Walgreens?
Any tip, big or small. Shoes to wear, register use hacks, etc.

I'm working about 10 hours a day every day between the two, so easily digestible/retained is appreciated.

TIA.

Edited for clarity and details.

The SM told the three of us that submitted resignations this past week that is we DO NOT stay on at least 4-6 hours per week after our final two weeks, we will be labeled as unrehirable and never able to return to work at any DT or FD ever in the future.

That does not seem like it can possibly be true.

IDGAF about me, but my coworker cashier who needs to leave to focus on her family and health WILL. She's not great at advocating for herself. Nor is the stocker who is leaving.

How should I handle this? Do I need to get my DM involved again?

ETA
______

We all ARE completing (or are planning to at this moment) our last two weeks, even though we're in an at will state. This is after that time period has passed she's threatening us all with. We refuse to 'stay one day' we're labeled unrehirable in the system, she said.

She has already adjusted my schedule from the usual 20 hours a week to almost a full 40. My last week is a partial (last day is a Wednesday the 20th) and she STILL snuck almost 35 in there with the changes. Obviously trying to make it more difficult for me to train at the new job. Jokes on her, They're open a LOT more than us and I could train before or after~ It's almost all office so I don't even have to change my clothes, really. My new boss is already playing hours chess and winning.

Conversely, the stocker was on five more days originally until his last day, now he's been dropped to 1 day for four hours, none during his 'last' week, iirc.
IDK yet about the cashier.

I kinda wanna call my SM on her shit about saying she can only change the schedule in Compass once per week on Fridays.

Since I submitted my resignation at 3pm yesterday, my schedule has changed FIVE TIMES. XD

My new boss at my new job is...amused? Hard to read. Unsurprised, for sure. Kinda ready for her to say. 'Just come in after 9pm or before 9am to do the computer training.'

SM is apparently having a meltdown. Guilt trips, threats, the water works, 'YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!', etc.

Meanwhile, DM is being so sweet, and somehow also dealing with the SMs meltdown.

Meanwhile, meanwhile, myself, the stocker and the cashier who resigned are over here (towards the SM)...

I've been offered and accepted a job I simply can't turn down.

Far more money for basically the same job, closer to home, actual benefits at 35 or more hours, and better working hours.

My SM is away at another store all week. I will be dropping off a formal resignation letter as soon as my BGC comes through this afternoon, but I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to text my SM the information, or if I should go to the DM.

TIA.

ETA2: text of my resignation letter.

I am resigning my position at Dollar Tree effective May 20th, 2026.

I am truly grateful for my time at Dollar Tree, and the experiences it has provided me. I intend to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Sincerely,

ETA: 'Just walk' replies will be ignored, btw. I am honestly NOT looking to burn bridges, though I have every right to do so. I'm not going to stoop to that level. I am giving 14 days notice, and have worked my training at the new position around my current DT schedule. I would like REAL, PRACTICAL opinions. Thanks

Are they purging the DCs or something.? My God the number of full expired case markdowns this week was unbelievable, at least three cases on my little 8 hour shift on Thursday alone. I don't even STOCK groceries, this was just in candy and drinks!

ETA: I went ahead and made a DailyPay Account and did a no fee transfer. We shall see if it works. Ideally this will be a solution.

I have several associates who are concerned about getting their last checks if/when they leave, as the last two associates who left had to jump through ALL THE HOOPS to get paid. One never even got it, six months later. She gave up trying, as far as I know.

Would DailyPay prevent this? Like they opt to withdraw the earnings after their last day of work?

TIA.

So more like let's make a meme.

If you were going to make a Dollar Tree Bingo Card, what things/phrases/ etc would you add to it?

I'm sure we could make SEVERAL cards.
