I want to transfer stores because mine is badly understaffed and I can't continue to work 30+ hours a week in a school week. Will they not allow me to transfer because they are already understaffed, or is it the other store's decision? Who do I talk to to begin the process? Thanks for any help!

Who doesn't understand or doesn't give a **** about the equipment in question. Had a customer on Uscan, who had like 5 cases of water and some soda can packs. She didn't feel like lifting them up to scan them and neither did I. So she tells me to scan them using the handheld "thingie." I tell her that I don'...

So they hand me their personal check with their signature but they don't write out the amount and they want me to print the amount on the check. I t...

In one week. That's how much overtime they are attempting to cut down from the Cincinnati/Dayton Division District 2 this week, compared to the previous week. And what did they have to say? "Welcome to the new world." I just want these suits to understand, we use this overtime because YOU need it, not b...

Overall what is a better department to work in?

I keep hearing about the same managers over and over again. Everyone talks about how mean they are. They have a job to do. They are responsible in making sure you do your job. If you don't do your job, then managers pay for it also. If you want them off your back, do your job. You're not getting paid to play Ca...
