It wasn't the worst. But I wasn't a big fan of it. I just felt it was obviously to rushed.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe it'll be better in the books.

If and when he ever finishes them. ��
It can't be worse than the show at least. He has more of a reason to make it even better

Good point. I think a lot of people are getting annoyed that he keeps working on other projects. I can't imagine how long it's feeling to those who started reading the books in '96.

Fucking. Finally.

So, the other lead sales associate at my job and I talked tonight and I told her about the shit that was pulled last weekend where I had a full weeks worth of returns left for me and was told if I did finish them by the end of my shift that I'd written up ( two shopping carts piled completely full and 6 shopping baskets piled completely full) Mind you, I work two days a week 10 hours total between the two days AND returns are suppose to be done Every. Damn. Night. Not just on the two days I work. I also run the register. Which last weekend we were super busy because of people shopping for the holidays. So it took me both shifts to get it all done.

This weekend I talked with the lead about it and I told her that this was bullshit and that last weekend was bullshit. If I was to be written up then everyone that worked night shift through out the week should be written up for not doing the returns. And she agreed and also said I would not be written up. And that now, every night, frieght stops at 5:00 and recovery and returns will be started then.

Which means I will have less to do on Saturday and Sunday and I'll actually be able to work the totes and get product out onto the floor.

Glad some of the load's getting taken off of you.

It won't matter much as I am looking for a new job due shitty pay and shitty management at this one. I just can't deal with it anymore. I've been there a year and I'm sick of the place. The write up threat was the last straw for me. I've stuck it out through some total bullshit on the company's part and we have a high turnover rate so they should appreciate the fact that I've stayed as long as I have but they don't and I haven't gotten a single pay raise despite having previous experience. Soooo. I'm finished. 😒

I can only imagine the crap you've had to endure. I'm sure with your experience it's not going to be hard to find a better job. :)

Dollar General is King of Crap when it comes to jobs.

Ye. My sister Lydia is getting me an application for the place she works. $8 raise if I get on there from my current salary.

Oh man, I remember reading some online thing about those dollar stores being shady places to work. I totally thought they were rumors.


I hope you get in. :D

Not rumors. They work you like dogs for very little pay and treat their employees like shite. I have previous retail/grocery experience and they started me at $8.00 a year later and I am still making $8.00 and the new keyholder treats me like I'm an idiot despite her being the stupid one and not knowing basics. 😒

Yep. If you can help it, never work for a company like them. Our district manager is an idiot as well. But that's whole other can of worms.

On another note.. I should be sleeping.. but eh, can't seem to get comfy.
