After 7 years, I quit.
On my 7 year anniversary with Walgreens, an honest coincidence, I submitted my 2 week notice. Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens, it ain’t a secret. They really will hire anybody and slap a manager label on it. 7 years with Walgreens and I never became a senior technician after passing PTCB and becoming immunization certified. I learned Spanish (A1) and American Sign Language (A1) to converse more with patients and I even promoted vaccines, it was always never enough. I was retaliated against after a district manager physically harassed me. I received a final written warning with no prior disciplinary history for something that I did not do. I hated my experience in regard to my last 6 months of employment with Walgreens. Sycamore is setting a piss poor example of what a pharmacy should be and they’re loosing the main objective in regard to patient care. I was threatened by management at my last location for termination of job abandonment and breach of contract, as the two do not apply to me. Godspeed, Walgreens.
Why do crackheads specifically steal this product? I’ve worked at 3 stores and it’s been consistent
This LYSOL air. Every single store I’ve worked at. Stolen by the same kind of people…
what’s the hype around these? They sniffing them?
Does anyone else’s front end and pharmacy have beef or…? 😭
Asking as an IS lol
Can I return things after they've been opened?
I bought a big bag of fun size halloween chocolate for the house, but my kids opened up some and they're all bloomed. They've visibly melted and then solidified again, the texture is bad. It's a 100 piece bag and they opened maybe 5, I don't know what the return policy is though. Maybe I can exchange it for something else, but idk if that will have melted/bloomed too.
Photo manager
When the photo manager is added to a store, does corporate give additional hours to the store, like 32 hours?
Who is even designing these planograms??
Btw, the spot it's sticking out into doesn't even line up, it's intimate wellness with pushers on a completely different notch. Who's idea was this 😭
SL Question
How long does it take you to count the last till when the store closes along with all the safe count, etc? What time do you actually clock out?
Early pay
Did anyone get their direct deposit yet from Wells Fargo? Due to the holiday being on Monday
Ordering for photo question
How do I check to see what has been ordered for photo and how do I order for photo?
We're running out of things due to the banners being viral on tiktok, also these insane promos they keep pushing. I just want to be prepared for the holidays and stock up.
Photo duplex printer
I’m actually so fucking sick and tired of this new duplex printer,all it does is jam and then prints 2 prints then jams again in multiple places.
Paid
did anyone get paid today? i have WF bank & i usually get paid on saturday at 9am when there's a holiday on the upcoming monday ...
Morning + Closing
Recently I had a very scary situation one morning before opening, what is a weird/scary moment you’ve had while opening or closing? Im bored and would love to hear some stories.
Scan outs suck lowkey
Jk they go fine but I hate that EVERY TIME I get to cough/cold I find a billion missing products and opened cough medicine example:photo of twin pack of dxm missing one bottle-why not just take both at that point??? I’ll have to throw it out regardless. And receiving truck is a pain cuz I have to lock up the Benzedrex in those annoying plastic containers only for them to be taken like that entirely. And the awful abreva that just shoots out of its pushers😒
Missed Days for the year
Does anyone know how to see how many days you have missed?
Coupon policy
I just have a question and I know I'm going to get many different answers, lol. I had a very mean customer yesterday who obviously had come I their before realizing, oh hey, I can bitch about the coupons I didn't bother to clip because " I didn't know" and hey I'll just get what I want! I'm constantly being told one thing and the next time something different. Yes, if it is a small price change, I'll do it, a couple dollars, not a big deal. But if you've come in before claiming you didn't know that's how you get the sale, I'm not going to change it! Am I wrong?? Then what's the point of having coupons?! These idiots can't read or they " don't see" what the tag actually says. And then bitch because , we'll I'm Karen the c**t and I spend a lot of money here! I'm just so sick of the entitled customers.
PTO payout
Hey all! Just a question. I'm not at work right now and not really sure where to look to find this, but if/when I quit, does the company have to pay me for all my PTO? Or is there a way they could refuse? Thanks for any help/direction
Banner paper
Have stores been getting banner paper? Anybody have any to spare?
Found money
I just found 100 dollars on the floor and i feel like a dumbass for asking my SM what i should do with it because ofc they told me to put it in the safe. I should have just kept it but I don’t wanna risk my job over 100 dollars. Not in this job market. What’s gonna happen if nobody claims it? If Walgreens just takes it I’m going to be pissed. lol.
