Edit: I don’t know if customers are becoming more scammy or if it’s just my store, but I’ve noticed that there’s been an alarming amount of items that have tags switched. I keep coming across customers that like to buy items on clearance, only to find out that the department numbers on the clearance sticker don’t match the original price or the department number on the clearance tag DOES match with the original tag, but the ulines are different.

Istg I rung up this lady who said she was happy that she found some “good deals” (she found a sweater that was $7.00 on clearance and two pair of Levi’s jeans that were both between $6.00-8.00 on clearance as well), and ALL of the items had yellow tags on them.

I had to show my manager the yellow tags shown on the sweater and the Levi’s pants and he called for a price check on all the items and guess what happened…

The sweater’s ACTUAL price was $24.99 and the Levi’s pants were $29.99, this lady gave me SO much attitude when she found out what the actual prices were. And the funny part about the ticket swaps were that we did an IRL on the clearance tag on one of the Levi’s pants, and the tag popped up as a hair straightener on our system.

The lady was so pissed that she asked the manager if she could see the original prices (not really sure what she needed to see but whatever) and she also told my manager that she was feeling really nervous when he was asking her questions about the tags (this raised my suspicions on her trying to get away with ticket swapping).

Anyways, there’s also another situation where sometimes people genuinely find clearance tags misplaced on items (to which I call for a price check), and I come to find out that the price shown on the clearance tag is correct but that the uline is just wrong, and that confuses me because how are we (associates) supposed to know if someone’s trying to ticket swap or not.

I asked my manager what I should do if I find a misplaced clearance tag with the right department number but has a mismatched uline on an item, and he said to just call for a price check and let him know, but that he’s also going to have a meeting with the district management about it.

I’m planning on buying a Wii U and I’ve looked around at various websites (Facebook Marketplace, EBay, and Amazon) but I’m also looking into GameStop Online to see if that might be a good option. Anyways, what I’m trying to ask is if anyone knows any good websites where they’ve bought any Wii U’s. I’m okay with buying just the entire console itself but I would like to buy the black Wii U console and some games all in one purchase (preferably Nintendo Land, Super Mario 3D World, and Splatoon).

I just realized that MJ’s behavior around kids like Jimmy SafeChuck and Wade Robson kinda reminds me of how Drake treated Millie Bobby Brown.

I mean think about it, Drake hung out with Millie when she was about 12 years old, they exchanged text messages where Drake was talking about boys for the most part (and what Millie should search for in a guy) and he also took her on trips (he took her out on a yacht late at night). That kinda reminds me of when Michael planned to go to a Cirque Du Soleil with Jordan Chandler late at night, but legal documents from June Chandler’s side of the story showed that the event coordinators called Michael’s hotel asking where he was because he wasn’t at the event….only for Michael to come back to the hotel with Jordan at 11 pm.

And the funny part considering these two situations is how Millie was also defending Drake, similarly to how Wade Robson and Brett Barnes also defended Michael during the 1993 case. Yet there were two different results: people thought DRAKE was weird for what he did, and might have been attracted to Millie, yet when it came to MICHAEL people said it’s because he ‘didn’t have a childhood.’

If one were to get to the bottom of these two scenarios, I would be more concerned about Michael’s behavior than Drake’s (not saying that Drake isn’t weird himself). But because it’s not like Drake created an amusement park for children to roam around and stay the night in.

I recently updated my availability at work due to my summer class schedule, changing it to weekends only. My store manager approved it, but I’ve still been scheduled on Fridays multiple times over the past few weeks. I brought it up several times (calls and in person), and was told it would be corrected. Management also mentioned there may have been technical issues with the scheduling system (WorkJam). In some cases, shifts were eventually removed after follow-ups, but the issue kept happening.

I’ve tried calling the store to speak with the manager-on-duty, I’ve spoken to managers directly (during my shifts or on my breaks), and I’ve been able to find coverage when possible, but I’m still not sure why this keeps happening or why I’m still being held responsible for shifts outside my approved availability. Each time I confront management about this issue they always say that “they’ll fix it” or that “they’ll cover it” but I never see any changes on the WorkJam app regarding my schedule, so it’s hard for me to believe them when they try to reassure me.

They scheduled me for this Friday and I can’t show up. I don’t have enough sick hours to call out, and I’m worried about getting penalized if I can’t find coverage. I’ve already tried, but nobody’s available to take it. I really need to keep this job for college expenses, so I’m trying to figure out what my best move is at this point.

P.S; I’m been working at my store for about 10 months right now. I haven’t faced any scheduling issues in the past, I’ve been very consistent with showing up to work (I only ever call out if there’s an emergency), and I do really well in CC sales so typically I get a good amount of hours per week (16-24 hours) while being a part-time employee (even with payroll being low at the moment).

I'm kind pissed cause i documented a change in my availability for June with my admin CEC on paper in the beginning of May and he told me to tell my SM when she would be scheduled the next day. I made sure to change my availability more than two weeks in advance (i gave them a specific date to put in the new availability). A couple days later i tell my SM and she asks me if i changed my availability because of summer classes (i lied and said yes just cause) and she confirmed that she saw my new availability. I didn't think much of it until a couple days later when i realized i was scheduled for next Friday. i called the store to talk to my customer service manager about it and he said something along the lines of: "if you're scheduled for xyz [and you can't come], then it's your job to get it covered." I was a little confused and he told me to come into work tomorrow and talk to him about it since i was scheduled for the next day.

I come into work the next day (which was Saturday so a couple of days ago) and he tells me he talked to the SM and she seemed confused and didn't remember scheduling me for next Friday but that she'll fix it. i then realized after our convo that i miscommunicated next Friday for THIS Friday, which explained her confusion (because I talked to my CS manager about it on Saturday, which was a couple days ago). So two days after my Saturday shift, I opened my shift for next Friday for my coworkers to take and I notice that my shift got cancelled my system admin ten minutes afterwards. I thought that was weird so I went ahead and reopened my shift. An hour after I reopened my shift I called the store again to speak with my General manager and explained to him that I was scheduled outside of my new availability for June for NEXT Friday (the 5th) and he [GM] said something along the lines of “someone probably took your shift off the schedule” and that he would go ahead and check. I ended the call and I haven’t really seen any chances.

This isn’t the first time they’ve cancelled my shift. But I’ve noticed my coworker show me all the open shifts on her WorkJam and mine didn’t pop up when I reopened my shift shortly after it got canceled. I’m not really sure if management is being negligent or if it’s a WorkJam issue but I just want this to get fixed. I don’t really know what to do because I already talked to my managers about this and I was put under the impression that my new availability got approved.
