So we just got Rotacarts two weeks ago......I hate them. They do NOT sort anything, it's so bad where I had to park my Rotacart in the middle of the store so it would be in the middle of everything. What are your experiences with them?

Also they just changed our DC to one that's only ONE state away. Explain to me why our trucks have been coming in over 6-13hours late the past two weeks?

Also, the DC doesn't sort the cases or load them safely at all, they are overfilled with the heaviest boxes on top, YET if we load our U-Boats just slightly too high then we get into trouble.....

We have a PT newer ASM that I found out had to do conference calls & stuff with the DM. I was told something like this is fast tracking management or something along those lines?

Initially was offended because I bust my ass and get 0 recognition not that I really want or need it. This newer ASM does absolutely nothing but show up.

I asked my SM about it and she said it means nothing. She had to pick someone & I didn't need the burden of more tasks/calls.

Can anyone elaborate. Is it truly extra tasks for nothing? Lol

So we haven't had puppy poop bags for a long time now, over two months. And a woman came up to me who was overall friendly and asked me "Do you have doggy poop bags?" And I said "No, I'm sorry I haven't seen them in months." I even walked her to the pet section and showed her where they would normally be pegged.

Then she started questioning me, which is fine whatever she first does the classic "Are there any in the back?" I simply said "no," then she asked "Are there any end caps?" I said "no, we got rid of our pet endcap a while back," then she asked "are there any markdown bins of them?" 😭 At this point I was trying to be nice but I think my smile slowly started to fade away because there are absolutely no dog poop bags, I work in freight I know what we have/don't have. So I just said "We don't."

Then she asks "Is there anybody else here that would know if you had them?" 😭🤦🏼‍♀️ I straight up told her "You can ask my boss, but he'll tell you that same exact thing I just told you because we do not have them."

At first I thought she would get the hint......SHE ASKS ANOTHER QUESTION 😭😂 asking "How long have you worked here?" And I said "I have been here for about 5 months." She goes "Is that a long time?" I told her "It's not long, but long enough for me to know what I'm doing and to know this store." Finally she says "Oh so you do know what you're doing." Yeahh.....I do......

Like I get I'm a teenager and not only that but a lot of people in general just say "We don't have that" so they don't have to go and get it. But I'm not like that.😭

Overall she was nice, she wasn't mean or anything but so many questions it felt like Jeopardy lol.

My first shift was on Tuesday. I was given the compass log in info to see my schedule and apparently I don't work again until July 19th..... The shift on Tuesday wasn't even official because the manager told me they make scheduleds three weeks in advanced and she gave that one to me just to get started. This is just a bummer bc I wanted to at least save up a little money for school. 🫠

I just got told another ASM quit and someone at my store is basically fired. So im working for 6 days straight. I apparently get 0 choice until we can get more managers.

Remember working hard for that 1.50 premium not time and a half

Title.

Hire more people! Every store I have been to in the last few weeks has tons of stock in boxes, nothing on the shelf, and two people working in the store. Yeh, I took some stock out of the boxes myself today and make some of the store look good. Your welcome!

I am being sent all over my district because there isnt enough ASMs for closing. Now Im closing a store after working 6 days straight with 1 day off and I am exhausted, and I have to work my hone store tomorrow night. Fuck me I am TIRED

been at Dollar Tree about 6 months. I work freight and sometimes register. My feet are destroyed by hour 5 every shift.

I've been buying cheap shoes from Walmart because my paycheck is tight. $25-$30 pairs. They feel okay for like 2 weeks and then the foam dies. I've gone through 4 pairs already. That's like $120 on shoes that didn't work.

I don't know if I can drop 200 on shoes. But I also cant keep spending money on stuff that doesn't work. Anyone else in this situation? Is it worth it to just save up and buy something good?

Is this real?

I just had to share that today was the first time ever in my adult life that I visited an ORGANIZED Dollar Tree!!!??? OMG!!! It was like finding a unicorn 🦄 Hahaha!!! I mean it looked like someone with OCD stocked and arranged ALL the shelves! Even the areas by the office and behind the registers were organized. And I mean with PRECISION!! It was the most beautiful thing! Having said that, I've never, in my life, expected a Dollar Tree to ever be organized. Reminds me of that M&M commercial where the old guy says, "They do exist" when referring to the M&M. I was THAT floored! 😂 Way to go Dollar Tree on Veterans Memorial Hwy! 🙌🏾

serious question, i am scheduled as cashier and they make me unload n stock the uboats everytime they make me throw out the trash when im cashier is that right? i dont mind doing it on scheduled days but when im cashier im hardly cashiering and the store traffic is solid its not even slow. my question is is that right?
