Made huge mistake filing complaint.

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.

5000sqft home. Finding mold and rat feces everywhere.

This home is ONLY 30 years old and have found many faults.

​

Suspicious holes that have been patched over years, small leaks that have been fixed. Then we discovered this nightmare. Rooms that we don't ever use that we've begun tearing out due to smells that won't go away. The home smells stale and disgusting no matter what.

​

We found rat feces inside the HVAC and ducts, attics, behind huge kitchen cabinets that could never stay clean because they use it as a highway.

At what point do we just light the home on fire? What do I do? I know well this has been the cause for our health issues and EVERYTHING needs to be thrown out. But do the hardwood cabinets need to be thrown out too? I don't even know if I'll be able to afford remediation on this scale as there are over 14 rooms. 😭

We're just tearing out replacing what we can but I don't think it's enough. It feels like a matter of time before more rats infest the place making matters worse. I'm just extremely thankful for no electric fires.

Threatened termination for short drawer.

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??

Going from central HVAC to mini splits

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.

Trying to change direct deposit

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 😢

Cupon Karens

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?

What is an EBR shrink assessment scorecard?

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

Leaks.

Per the title there's a hole in our soil drain pipe from when he was installing an RO system. It's been leaking for god knows how long. The floor is damaged as well as the plates. Mold everywhere. Insurance denied claim.

He filled the hole with plumbers putty but I doubt it'll hold up. Does anyone know a good group to post this in for advice on how to go about fixing the plates and hole so it never leaks again?

When to tell SM about pmdd diagnosis that affects my ability to work fast on some days?

I'm hesitant to tell my SM my diagnosis but she's yelled at me for not going fast enough or "hovering the register" ECT. When I'm not on my period I'm usually very efficient with time. I don't know if they "accommodate" that or even give a damn. I just wondered if showing my SM that diagnosis she would back off a bit for a day or schedule me off that day. Because the first day is the worst.

Regulars.

We have a regular that comes in almost everyday. Well, I see him whenever I'm there at least. A nice overall guy but always says the same stupid remark "I'm sure y'all are rich" or "y'all must get paid well" & "have you made enough for vacation?" I take it as an insult every time.

I'd love to run a full cart into his ankles. It really freaking bugs me when he says that because I have to think about how this is the only company that accepted my application despite having a degree and solid resume. I feel worthless.

Most of my colleges are elder and burnt out

One of my colleagues in particular is elderly, working two jobs to pay bills off and is always in pain. Our SM is extremely inconsiderate and strict with her in particular. She's always in pain having a hard time walking and I asked SM if the sitting policy could be ignored for her sake but was denied by SM. Today she had to do damages which don't require movement and SM wouldn't let her sit. I just feel so terrible for her.

Everyone coworker I've worked with so far has had the same complaints with our SM. She expects us to be moving fast pace, busy the entire time and if you're doing something wrong she will not only let you know, but the whole store because she talks so loud. It's been the same complaint of coworkers feeling overworked like mules. Not being able to stand at the register to catch their breath or buy anything on the clock despite one coworker being diabetic. The days I've worked there and SM isn't there, everyone is visibly happier but when she's there you might as well assume everyone's been threatened with a beating for not keeping the pace.

I shouldn't be expected to confront, watch people, or chase them out of the store when they steal. My manager told me to go out after someone today and it made me extremely uncomfortable. Most of our local thieves come in at night. Its easy to spot them and I could care less because our sm only gives us two people at night with no way to defend ourselves.

Stupidy signed up for money network when filling out new hire paperwork. My sm doesn't know how to fix it but I'd really prefer checks as the transfer fees are fucking ridiculous... Can anyone point me in the right direction?
