I've not been successful in quitting. I don't smoke all day but once night time approaches my brain physically hurts. I literally only have less than half a gram and I'll take that to hit- and it relieves the pain. How can I do this? I like to tell myself "my brain chemistry is slowly adapting to being sober" but I don't know... I can't seem to make it at night without one small toke. I'm about to run out and am happy about it, but my brain genuinely hurts. It's that same feeling you get when you've been studying all night or learning something new. It just physically hurts.

My DG is 4.5 miles away. I make $12 an hr. The job I've been asked to work at is 14miles but the pay is $14. I'm basically making less at the new place because of the cost of gas to get there. I feel there's no escape.

I'm sure ex dg workers understand why I wish to leave this establishment. I know I'd be far happier if I could just plug in headphones, do my job , and be left tf alone. I can't handle rude customers or passive management. It's very hard to ignore in this environment. Don't know what to do 😢

I can't stand being scheduled a morning after closing. I literally go insane from schedules like this. I've told my SM and DM it triggers manic episodes but yet again another week where imt closing and opening next morning. IM LITERALLY JUST A SALES ASSOCIATE TOO. make it make sense. This company is NOT accommodating and doesn't give AF.

I've been on benders and was addicted to opiates and benzos at one point...but I quit successfully. I'm hoping to make it through and stop weed. I've been smoking for 8 years. My main goal of quitting is being able to go finish my GED and college without the awful brain fog, and find better work.

Today I took my first GED tests and failed. I struggled so hard to focus and I know it's linked to the MJ use. I think what kept me so comfortable smoking weed is being legally drugged as a kid on antidepressants, and mild stimulants that 100% gave me a buzz...so getting high just felt normal?

Anyway I almost feel like I will have better success being a sober Sally than not. I notice I push things off so much with weed and continuing to smoke will only delay what I am capable of but have chosen not to do for so long.

One week I'm working a good 23, the next I only get 15 or less. Other coworkers complain about the same issue and it genuinely fucks with me. Sm had told me a week ago they'd give me more hours after I opened up about being the only one paying bills and barely having anything to feed myself. (Obviously a lie) They gave me two weeks of 20-25hrs and bam...once again my hours teetering under 15. It's never consistent.

It's a genuinely 💩 feeling and I find it hard not to burst into tears wondering how the hell I'm going to make ends meet and have my bills paid. SM is more than capable of giving all sales even hours and when I was given 20, everyone else had 20-25 as well. Everyone but the ones who are favorites and given 30+ was happy.

It's been a common theme here where employees are getting the opposite hours they've asked while the SM and ASM work whenever they want getting 35+ hrs. I can't stop staring at my schedule just wondering....why do they hate us so much to do this?

We had invitory and DM walkthrough. The whole time DM was thanking our SM saying what a "good job he did"... We collectively hate our SM despite saying good things about him in terror of retaliation. He has a way of being a dick without directly being one that would get him in trouble-if that makes sense. And don't complain about it either because he will find out and use it against you. It's upsetting knowing us employees did so much work for him to just walk around pointing orders...and SM gets the credit?

When a customer makes a complaint to the store via phone is it recorded or just information overlayed through corp and DM?

My coworkers and I seem to share the same feeling like we can't communicate with SM and ASM. Anything we say to one manager, it gets said to another. There's no privacy. We feel we can't communicate with our SM. Whatever has been going on in their personal lives they take out on us. Never a thank you or recognition for our work, but always criticizing and demanding things for us to do... Which is fine because it's a Job but if a majority of the employees feel they can't efficiently communicate with the SM or ASM privately what's the point? Two have expressed they don't know how he's still a SM but here he stands... Everyone has said they're too scared to file any complaints out of retaliation so we go in with our heads down ready to take on whatever may come at us.

I got fed up. I couldn't take it and reported the store I work. We have this electronic doorbell that sits at the registers that go off everytime a customer is there. It's to ensure the customer doesn't have to wait. We're expected to run back and fourth from the register to whatever else we're having to do that day. We get griped at for "camping at the register" so "we have to have the bell".

Anyway it's annoying as fuck. I feel it's made me psychotic . It's all I hear as I'm trying to fall asleep. I have fucked up my drawer due to it going off whilst checking out a customer (my fault I know) but I have told my manager it's extremely overstimulating while trying to focus on the customer and nothing has been done. Why does it need to ring when the customer IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME?

I expressed my feelings to my key holder today and he YELLED at me that he'd rather hear that then a customer shout "hey". Like whatever happened to a manual bell?! Anyway... I lost my shit and called corporate but fucked up giving them my phone # for call back... I was told my DM was called and they'd call me back... shiiiit. I feel bad because I did this knowing he's had 7 complaints against him the past year but he's also the only one that enforces the stupid ass bell.

That's all I have to say.

I hope I can get approved for a better job. I have put in so many applications just waiting till I can go.

I don't work well under pressure and should have reconsidered this position when my SM said being a cashier is a requirement. I've been at this store about 3 months. Just recently my SM said I have been short by a few dollars multiple times and said he has to fire me if it happens again. I double count everything but obviously I'm messing up somehow. I asked if I could repay what's missing or the key holder tell me what I miss each night and I'll put in my own money to makeup for it. I got a stern NO (but I know damn well my coworkers are doing it to save their own arse)

I'm terrified of being fired and worry if I should just quit. Because what if I miscount AGAIN and get fired? Won't that be on my record forever? I'm freaking the f out right now and don't know what to do. Should I put in my two weeks??

My 5000sqft, 30yo home is a molded disaster. All vents, returns have visible stachy mold coming out of them. If I had to guess without counting I'd say there's 18 vents per floor. There are three floors.

Anyway my HVAC company recommended installing multiple Mitsubishi mini splits to

•save on eletic bill costs

•have better humidity control

•for it's ease of access for cleaning...and no more crawling the attics to make sure a mouse hasn't chewed and 💩 through our ductwork.

I like the sound of this because we do not use all rooms of the house but would still love some dehumidifying properties.

I also love hearing having all previous ductwork thrown out and holes sealed up so we're not constantly breathing in the same nasty air. We've had the ductwork professionally cleaned in the past but mold growth is still obvious and persistent...until our units HVAC electronic system fried and we've been out of AC for two years now.

I keep trying to change my direct deposit and it keeps saying "You have entered invalid information that does not match our records". My manager and I are stumped. I initially started with money network and was able to change my deposit through the Legion App to my cashap. I went to open a savings account with cashapl and it says my direct deposit ISNT linked. TF do I do 😢

I call them coupon Karens but I also know how important that $5 off is. I just can't stand passive aggressive customers. I have to have key holders authorization to price check or void an item a customer didn't want and they often get irritated with me. How do I not loose it or show that I'm ticked off?

My name was highlighted under "TM Basket" $16. What is this? I just saw it next to our work schedule. I asked my coworker and they said "don't worry about it". Now I am worrying about it
