hey guys i’m new here, but i hope you’re all doing well.

i signed up for the october LSAT 3 months ago and ended up not studying at all. life threw me a lot of curveballs and this was not on my radar AT ALL. my testing date is in 5 days. i will probably get a really really bad score because even though i consider myself quite sharp, i absolutely do not have what i need to do well. i am now in a position where i will have more time to study in the coming months.
i’m essentially torn between biting the bullet and taking the test despite my complete lack of preparation or canceling my test and taking it another time after adequate preparation.
so, here are my main questions/concerns:

1. how late can i possibly take the test before i would no longer be able to send a score for the upcoming admissions cycle?
2. is it even possible to cancel/reschedule this testing date anymore, or is my money fully down the drain?
3. if i DID take the test, what would you say the pros/cons would be?

apologies if these are questions i could easily figure out myself. to be honest my anxiety is so bad about all this that even thinking about it is killing me. i was completely irresponsible with all of this, and i definitely have a lot of regrets. i just want to know if it’s COMPLETELY over (for this cycle at least) or if this situation is salvageable at all.

it’s been real aldi. yall are some troopers i’ll tell ya. if you stay here for over a year you truly have my respect. same with the warehouse folks on here i know people diss yall a lot but fr i know it’s hard for you guys too. i’m fortunate enough to have found a better job relatively quickly and id like to think aldi helped a bit with that; the job makes you a much harder worker even if it means losing your sanity. @ corporate suck my nuts and fuck you if you’re reading this maybe take some time to actually get your heads out your buttocks and do something to make your workers actually want to show up. having one extra cashier for closers in each store would not instantly decimate your profit margins. please say bye to me old mel gibson.

theoretically if an assistant manager came in to help out your store and decides that the first thing they wanna do is completely ignore the job description of a part time cashier and make them do curbside and throw truck, that manager should face disciplinary action or at the very least be reported to a higher up for not doing their job correctly, right? i’m not losing my mind? because i’m getting a lot of attitude for pointing this out. feels like i’m in a god damn alternate universe where up is down and left is right.

edit: THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME! I AM NOY THE PART TIMER IN QUESTION!!! Please stop with the insults and generally demeaning attitude. I’m just concerned for a coworker who was having a really rough time. He was never trained on any of this before in my academy which is why i’m concerned, especially when other people on schedule were more than capable of doing those tasks. Bad allocation of resources imo.

Can days off that were already approved be removed if you decide to transfer to another store before the days off happen? Does the new store’s manager have to approve them a second time?

i had to open today; pretty standard, two meat pallets, lots of stuff that was about to expire so lots of markdowns that i tried my best to catch. fast forward to store opening, and i was again trying my absolute best to make sure i caught every single markdown at the register (i was main). tell my why these motherfuckers will SEE ME DO THE MARKDOWN ON THE REGISTER—AFTER I THEN VERBALLY CONFIRM TO THEM I HAVE MARKED DOWN THEIR NEVER ANY! BY KIRKWOOD ABF CHICKEN BREASTS BY 50%—NOT ACCEPT THE RECEIPT I OFFER THEM, AND THEN WALK BACK TO MY REGISTER 5 MINUTES LATER CLAIMING I DIDNT MARK DOWN THEIR ITTY BITTY PACKAGE OF RAISED AND SLAUGHTERED CHICKEN APPENDAGES. THEN DEMAND ME TO REPRINT THE RECEIPT WHICH I CANNOT DO, ASK TO SEE MY MANAGER WHO IS RUNNING PRODUCE AND DOING CURBSIDE AT THE SAME TIME, AND GET INSANELY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE WHEN I TELL THEM THAT WILL TAKE A WHILE. THESE PEOPLE ARE CATTLE AND I DESPISE THEM, ALDI NEEDS TO LET ME CALL THESE GUYS IDIOTS OR ELSE IM GONNA EXPLODE ONE OF THESE DAYS

I don’t really have any max level people to do a raid with and I can’t be bothered with learning it all right now, so what is the next-best option for gear excluding packs? Currently I’m running a mix of merciless and aeon gear, clammy monstrous deck, and the barkingham wand. Sitting around 12k health, 170 damage, 70res, 30 acc, 49 pierce, and 100% power pip. Should I just farm the other aeon stuff or is there a better dungeon to farm?

Our store just finished up with a SMT who is now returning to another store to continue their training. Despite their generally good attitude and personality, we personally thought their leadership was subpar (literally gave no directions to anyone on the closing shift for 8 hours forcing our LSA to be a manager while also running curbside all day) and we don’t want our LSAs to catch the blame for what the SMT was responsible for on certain days. As a regular associate is it beyond my means to bring this up with our SM/DM? It pains me to see people getting blamed for a bad day when there’s someone higher ranked than them that should be held accountable.

if i had a genie i would ask it to disappear every single aldi in the us and replace it with a beautiful grassy oasis. just stuff i’m daydreaming about during my 8 hours on the register……

i’m about to finish my 3 month probationary period. first month was great. has only gotten worse from there. the AHEAD rollout has been a complete disaster for our store and multiple ASMs have quit leading to me (someone who has just recently gotten to be as efficient as people here who have been working for over a year) being even more overworked than i previously thought was possible at this company. management works their butts off but still project their dissatisfaction with the higher ups onto us associates every day (especially in the mornings). we are all trying our damn best to keep up but it’s seriously taking a huge toll on everyone mentally and physically. for reference, i complete my zone as quick as anyone else, i can ring 110% with good accuracy and low 1-code and low void %, and still i get shit for being too slow.
issue is i can’t get another job atm so i guess the only solution is to keep trucking through the shitstorm. for the people here that feel the way i do, which seems like everyone judging from what ive read in just an hour or two on this sub, how the hell do you keep your sanity in check? is there any chance that things will improve for my store once the ahead transition is completed? or should we just all start unionizing and force these corporate snobs to actually make the ROI worth it for going through this hell every day? (lmao you don’t have to tell me i know that’s never gonna happen…)
end of rant and also hi everyone, i’m new here and you all seem lovely.
