Basically in June of last year I lost my job and couldn't afford the $80 payments for full data. I lost service and switched over to ATT prepaid until I could get enough to pay the $80 off and just use the $30 a month plan from prepaid. Well.. I go back in to pay and now they wanted $200. Then next month, $360 or something like that. It kept going up. I was arrested and put in jail for 7 months over stupid crap I did but I'm not gonna get into that. I get out and the entire account was placed under collections with a Derogatory mark and somehow went from $80 in June of 2025 to $1245. I never even got service but they kept charging me constantly. It's affecting my credit a ton since I don't have much credit history atm. What can I do to get this off my account and/or remove the mark? Paying $1245 for it is something I can't really do since money is tight rn.

My boss told me she upped me from a part time key to a full time key. How long does it take to show up in the legion app? It's been a few days already since she did it

Wasted like 10 mins trying to explain to an older woman that the price she paid was the correct price. Her total was $83 before coupons and discounts and all that. It went down to $45. She then asked me if these discounts came off. I showed her the screen and said every discount you mentioned came off. She paid then asked if it was wrong if she could call corporate to fix it? I told her I don't think they would do anything and I don't think it's wrong. She walks off then about 5 mins later comes up to me with the stickers from the shelf to show me. I told her it shows where it was discounted on the receipt. She was like okay.. I still don't think it's right... She walked off again to her car I guess. She came back with a literal calculator and started adding everything up and somehow got a total like $5 less than what she paid....

I pulled out my phone and told her that the regular prices is what you add then remove the "You saved" part on the receipt. I did it on my phone and it showed the exact amount she paid. She still didn't believe me and didn't understand a single word I was saying about it. Like... Bro it's $5.... Maybe you did the math wrong or something. How do I literally get away from people who do this crap or best and quickest explanation. I told her we don't run the mobile app or anything. When she walked up to me she said "can I talk to you for a second, I don't want to cause an argument"... Like wtf. Bro..

I've been a key for a little bit but we have inventory coming up in June. We HAVE SO MUCH OVERSTOCK. I've gone through every date in food and medicine. Upped literally everything in good OH that needed it, upped pads also since we got so much, toilet paper and paper towels. Need to do medicine and dog food but I was told today by a ASM from another store (who is gonna be our SM soon, great) that we can't up the numbers before inventory. My current SM never heard of it but is stepping down. I got a lot of our overstock under control for a most part. Last truck sent 4 boxes of overstock stuff compared to 2 rolltainers usually

Need to buy a game, usually I bike here for the 10% or 15% off discount on gift cards. Any deals this week on Xbox gift cards?

I have been working full time the entire time I've been a key, I am in the system as a PT key holder. My boss told me today that she upped me in the system as a full time key holder because there wasn't a point in me working the hours without the benefits of time off and everything. Someone told me today that full time makes a bit more than part time which I don't know is true or not. I'm the only key holder here that isn't a SM or ASM. The system still doesn't show me as full time on legion or anything, would this have to be approved and does it boost my pay like 50 cents or however much they do?

I'm 20M, I feel so lost in life due to my stupid decisions that have costed me, what feels like... Everything and has tbh.

Everything was going well in the beginning of 2025 until we hit a massive financial barrier. My mom who was basically the only one providing for the house of 9 we live in has lost her job. I had a job at a burger king in town but I didn't make much of course so we were about to lose everything. My mom's credit is bad, her boyfriend doesn't do crap but she won't leave him. I had a 750 credit so I took out a loan to help me and my family. I forgot to mention that I totaled my car also after my mom lost her job, hit a ditch I didn't know was there and went off road into a tree. I took out $15k and paid every bill that was past due, paid my mom's car off and bought me a cheap car to drive around and paid bills for months on end. I was making payments, sometimes I will be a bit late but I was making much like I said, I was trying to build very strong credit for myself.

Well.. skip those months, I quit BK due to the stress and new management, I went to instacart and was making so much more. Already burned through everything on the loan for food, bills and mortgage. I was doing well until about August of last year. My account completely stopped working. They did an identity check and refused to activate my account. So now here I am, jobless.

I decided while I look for another job to start scraping things I find on the curb or those big construction bins that are on public road. I was making like $100 a week doing this so it was something.. later in August I was checking a construction bin and found a bunch of aluminum from the gutters. Quite a bit also so I started taking them. It's mixed in with a bunch of dry wall and stuff like that and I knew not to touch the ones that only had metal and said metal only. Well... The police didn't like it. One drove by and pulled over and asked what I was doing. I told him I was grabbing some scrap. They then called the contractor of the site and he came over and talked to the police while I stood by the police car. A little bit later I was placed in handcuffs and brought to jail. They took everything in my car that I took and towed it. Apparently.. the dude that had the thing on a public road, ran all the sites. They hit me WITH 5 FELONY THEFT CHARGES OVER $1K. Bro... My bond was $10k and the judge REFUSED TO LOWER IT. I was in jail from August to about last month. I had to get out on a plea deal because my lawyer wasn't doing a good job, prosecutors had all said in the court and I could be facing 25 YEARS the judge said. I have to pay fucking $18k in restitution, they pulled that number out their ass. I barley made crap but apparently it is against the law for taking stuff on a public curb. So.. yeah. They put a police hold on my car and sold it after a few months. The loan went into collections, I still owe like $12k on it and my credit took a MASSIVE HIT. 750 to 526.

My mom got a job as a cleaner for apartments and door dashed on the side to get income. I got a job but every penny is going towards this restitution. I bike to work everyday and learned that my job in the middle of June is moving to a new store... 5 miles away from my house, that's an extra 4 miles to bike.. idk what to do. My mom won't help me out, I feel hated because all anyone talks about Is me and how I went to jail and lost everything. My mom's boyfriend is threatening to kick me out, i can't save up crap for a car or anything. Wtf do I even do here???

I feel like I'm doing a bad job after seeing my metrics. I just became a key like 2 months ago and I have the worst metrics but honestly it's not my fault. My average basket amount is $11 compared to others being $15+. My LV rate is 2.5% but literally everything has a reason. The way I like to run is by putting my drawer on the smaller register, this register doesn't have a turn table and it doesn't even have a scanner. I put the associates on the bigger drawer with the scanner and turn table thing for the bags.

75% of our food aisles are up front where you can directly see the register, same with medicine. I work on stock in the back of the store (pet, cleaning, etc.) and adjust the numbers. I help out on registers when there is a line forming, all the associate gotta do is press the ringer we have and I'll be up there for anything. 90% of the time, people will have literally 1 item and come to me since I have the smaller register. VV$1 stuff, stuff like that. I will have the occasional times where people will come with a bunch of stuff to me and start literally putting items on the scanner. So it ends up scanning and by me even picking it up, I gotta void it since it scanned again. That doesn't even mention me having to void things for the associate because someone didn't want to pay 17 cents because a digital coupon didn't work. (I'm not even joking, they got mad af and told me to cancel everything but one thing). Like am I under performing or something? Should I be running register more to fix these numbers, I wasn't told anything by my SM yet but I know this DM can be very picky on stuff like this. What do I do?!

Ever since I started 3 months ago, every truck has had constant overstock. Not just cat and dog food, of normal food also. I became a key like a month and a half ago and learned that the OH numbers determine alot of what they send us. We been having 900+ unit trucks with so much overstock. 2 weeks ago, we finally got done with the truck before Friday. I decided to go through everything on our shy shelves. So much of it actually came down, I moved stuff to the correct shelves and everything like that. Next day, OHA. I went through 50% of the food and upped the numbers that needed it. Some things said 2 OH when we had 34. Next truck comes, 825 units. Got it done before Friday again. I continue OH, we went through every bit of medicine and I just posted how I went through all the food. Next day, OH on cat and dog food. This week, we got truck. 700 units. I just finished all food OH today. Hopefully next truck is even lower, I need to go through medicine. Anything else to look for in numbers or any tips to get even lower trucks?

Damn, I should have taken a picture but forgot. Some customer came up to me randomly while I was on the floor and asked about a box of trash bags. Now it wasn't a "do you have these in stock or anything" it was asking for a discount. The reason for the discount.... The box was slightly ripped. Like barely ripped. She said how she would take it for 25% off because she didn't know if she was getting every trash bag... She also said how it's the "last one" which... I just literally recovered the trash bags section and upped counts and I knew that unless someone came in and bought 5 of the ones she wanted and ripped one slightly open in the last hour, then her story is bs. I said that I think the only way we will be able to give a discount is if the actual product is damaged. She said well, I worked at Amazon and if you got them in the mail, you would contact us for a refund/discount......

Your telling me, because the box that your going to open.. just because it's slightly ripped and might be missing a single trash bag, you want 1/4 off the original price?
