Okay do you all have that one coworker that you love but someone that person can really just get on your nerves?

So for example my other coworker is gone for two weeks and I'm taking over her departments (we'll call her Debbie) and Debbie is very picky with who is in her departments and what is done. Debbie and my managers chose me to take over Party, Candy, DTP L&G, and Seasonal while she's gone.

My coworker (the one that annoys me Lauren I'll call her) came up to me this morning KNOWING I'm taking over Debbie's departments says "I really want to do party today i think I will talk to *freight manager* to do that.

Whoaaaa okay listen 😂 nobody has ever told you that you can choose the departments you can stock it's never "oh I want to do this."

Second, that's my department for the next two weeks and I know that me or Debbie would not trust you to be in party.

I just stayed quite and was like "whatever," originally the white board said I was in seasonal when I first went to work then after she talked to my freight manager I was moved to party.......😂😂😂

She saw that and has the audacity to say "awwww I wanted party, want to switch with me?"

Girlllll I don't want to do paper......😂 And I am not switching wth I'm not gonna risk my job for your pleasure lol.

​

I'm so sick of customers bringing their dogs in to DT. I SAY THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE DOG LOVER ANS OWNER OF TWO DOGS I LOVE DOGS ITS NOT THE DOGS FAULT! JUST TO BE CLEAR! 😂

But seriously, "oh my dog is trained" *proceeds to pee all over the floor* and the owner proceeds not to tell anyone and walks away.........🤦🏼‍♀️

16f here and I'm curious is moving out at 18 as hard as it sounds, is it possible? I already work a full time job (and yes I'm homeschooled, it's legal in my state, and in getting my GED) but it doesn't pay nearly enough for me to live on my own.

I do plan to hopefully find another job within the next year that pays more. However, I have unrealistic standards for myself, I don't want roommates and I also want to live in a safe part of town where rent averages out to $1500 a month for a studio apartment. I honestly don't care if I have to work 3 jobs.

I have family issues so I would have no help from them and college is out of the question for now because it's so expensive and I likely won't get any good scholarships.

I guess I just need some encouragement but also be honest and tell me if I'm expecting too much.

I'm going to put a few applications out to jobs that pay more than $13 an hour. Im not sure if I'm making a right/wrong decision because I do love my job and my team, but I have a feeling inside to move on. As much as I love them they do take advantage of me a bit....and that was my fault for working too hard. 😂

But I'm not going to quit unless I get hired somewhere else.

I've learned, I'm 16 and have been working full time, I don't really have too and it's been taking me away from things with my family/friends, and it's been affecting my health where I been working myself past the point of exhaustion and burnout.

Hey!! I don't work for Kroger, but I was thinking about applying. My only question is, do you have stocking/freight jobs that are early morning or during the day? I would work overnight but I am a minor and I refuse to work as a courtesy clerk or a cashier. Thank you!

I was really sick at work today and they were all extremely supportive and basically made me go home (in a nice way) because my health is more important than DT. Shout out to them. 💜

There is a certain person at my work who is a cashier yet acts like my boss and falsely accuses me of things.

I have been telling my managers and thankfully they understand and are on my side, but she just irritates me.

Yesterday was truck, and my other coworker let the driver use the employee bathroom and (we'll call her Jenny) Jenny comes out asking "who's in the bathroom?" I told her it was the driver and she went on this whole rant about how drivers shouldn't be allowed to use the employee bathroom to eventually accusing me of unlocking the door for the driver, even though I was constantly telling her "I have no idea Jenny I understand."

I told my freight manager who is above everyone in the store (except the sm) and he told me that it really doesn't matter because the driver isn't a customer and technically is an employee of dollar tree.

Later Jenny came back saying "Well if it wasn't 'Brianna' who did it I wonder who did it?" And I was like "I don't even know Jenny."

In the end it was my other coworker who is an ASM who is ALSO above Jenny.

(this is the copy and paste message I was sending to my friend so sorry about the terrible English and everything, I just didn't want to type it out again)

So i have this regular customer who comes in often and was always a bit weird but I didn't really care because he's old.

BUT TODAYYYYY I'm peacefully stocking, then he comes and just stands there and stares at me.....which is typical 😅 but it was awkward so I was like "hey" but in a "wtf are you doing" way 😂😂

The first thing he says is "you live across the street don't you?" In my head I was like WTFFFF HOW TF WOULD YOU KNOW?!?!

So I was like "uhhhhhhh" and then he goes "last Friday I saw you walking to work but you were on your phone and you didn't see me. Im always watching, I like watching you"

I was like "okay have a good day"

RAN to my coworkers, management went to talk to him saying "stop harassing her" and blah blah blah.

Later to find out he's weird with EVERYONE, He knows the schedules for everyone and how my boss takes an Uber to work. He's fucking crazy man. Apparently he actually touched my 50 year old freight manager who's a dude 😭

Anyways I ain't talking to that bitch and if he tried any shit I'm not afraid to hurt him......

I just saw a post about PTO and it made me wonder if I had it. I know it's something I should ask my managers (which I will) but I work full time as a stocker, is it likely I have it? If I do, general how much should I have of it? I'm not sure if I'll have it because I'm a minor though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And don't worry I will ask my managers about it, but it just came into my mind.
