So we just got Rotacarts two weeks ago......I hate them. They do NOT sort anything, it's so bad where I had to park my Rotacart in the middle of the store so it would be in the middle of everything. What are your experiences with them?

Also they just changed our DC to one that's only ONE state away. Explain to me why our trucks have been coming in over 6-13hours late the past two weeks?

Also, the DC doesn't sort the cases or load them safely at all, they are overfilled with the heaviest boxes on top, YET if we load our U-Boats just slightly too high then we get into trouble.....

So we haven't had puppy poop bags for a long time now, over two months. And a woman came up to me who was overall friendly and asked me "Do you have doggy poop bags?" And I said "No, I'm sorry I haven't seen them in months." I even walked her to the pet section and showed her where they would normally be pegged.

Then she started questioning me, which is fine whatever she first does the classic "Are there any in the back?" I simply said "no," then she asked "Are there any end caps?" I said "no, we got rid of our pet endcap a while back," then she asked "are there any markdown bins of them?" 😭 At this point I was trying to be nice but I think my smile slowly started to fade away because there are absolutely no dog poop bags, I work in freight I know what we have/don't have. So I just said "We don't."

Then she asks "Is there anybody else here that would know if you had them?" 😭🤦🏼‍♀️ I straight up told her "You can ask my boss, but he'll tell you that same exact thing I just told you because we do not have them."

At first I thought she would get the hint......SHE ASKS ANOTHER QUESTION 😭😂 asking "How long have you worked here?" And I said "I have been here for about 5 months." She goes "Is that a long time?" I told her "It's not long, but long enough for me to know what I'm doing and to know this store." Finally she says "Oh so you do know what you're doing." Yeahh.....I do......

Like I get I'm a teenager and not only that but a lot of people in general just say "We don't have that" so they don't have to go and get it. But I'm not like that.😭

Overall she was nice, she wasn't mean or anything but so many questions it felt like Jeopardy lol.

This happened yesterday it was definitely one of those more odd customer experiences. I was backup cashier and I had two women in my line. The woman who I was helping was very very nice, and behind her was a homeless crack head who was talking to herself, saying that she was going to k*ll her girlfriend, and all of this crazy stuff.

Before I go on, I really want to say that I do have a pit on my stomach for this woman, I feel bad for her. I hate what drugs can do to people, and knowing the fact that she was not always like this makes me sad, idk her past but it does make me sad for her.

Anyways, babbling about killing her girlfriend, she randomly tells my customer I was helping "You have big b**bs" 😭😭 My customer was very uncomfortable, looked at me and said "oh I do?" 😭 And I was just kinda there. 😅

But, in the end even with how far gone she was she still paid for her Reese's peanut butter cups. I just feel bad for her, and my customer. 😭

Also one other thing while it's on my mind, yesterday I had another homeless customer, and this one I feel REALLY BAD about. I told him "You're total is $3.98 or whatever it was, he wanted ice cream and a soda, and he only spoke Spanish so I misunderstood what he was mumbling, I thought he wanted me to speak up and asked what the total was again so I said "$3.98" and he just walked away.

After I felt bad, because he gave me this look of just sadness, and I should have bought his stuff for him, I just didn't think of it in the moment. Like, he didn't steal or attempt to steal, and he didn't throw a fit he just quietly walked away and it made me feel really sad.

I'll just leave that there...

So they changed our DC for our store to another state, our truck day changed and everything, we are also supposed to be getting rotacarts.

This is the first truck day with this change, mind you our last truck we received with this change was only 1,500 cases and that was 10 days ago.

At first, we were supposed to get our truck today at 5am......it never showed up. Supposedly it's going to now come tomorrow at 5am. But this is also a 3,800 piece truck, we are behind a day now, and our stock team is pretty small, so our SM wants us to stay for 7 days this week and ALSO the normal 5 days next week, so basically working 12 days straight?! Hell no.

I had to buy a Type C Charger (the $1.50 one) as an emergency and while I was at it I found earbuds that look exactly like the apple ones for $1.50. The earbuds aren't a huge deal considering I already have wireless earbuds that work well, but the charger is really what I want to know about.

I have yet to smell a B Pure hand sanitizer that I actually liked........

Also, does anyone know if they have a rose one? I'm a stocker and should know this but I never really paid attention to the scents until recently.

Okay so I am super excited I get to go to summer camp! One of my favorite things is swimming, especially at camp because they have a waterslide in their small lake. It's not really a lake it's more like a big gross pool of water but that's besides the point. 😂

I'm worried, I know I'm going to get my period at camp, I just KNOW. I don't use tampons, never used tampons, not allowed to use tampons, can't get tampons, basically tampons or cups are out of the picture.

I also currently can't get period swimwear unfortunately.

BUT I DONT WANT TO MISS ON THE WATER ACTIVITIES I'll be so sad it's one of the things I'm looking forward too the most.

Thankfully my swimwear is black and my bottoms are like a short short, but would it be weird to swim free perioding it?

I'll be honest the lake thing is already really gross and I knew a girl from last year who went in with nothing in......but I also don't want to be gushing in the water and making a fool of myself.

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.........🤦🏼‍♀️
