What do Drug/GM clerks do during the day?
Permalink   


I am working as a drug/gm clerk during the summer, this is my second summer working this job. Until this week I have worked exclusively overnight stocking shifts . Tomorrow. I am working 1pm-8pm. Can anyone here tell me what drug/gm clerks do during day shifts that I wouldn't usually do during night shifts.

Run trucks, scan backstock, condition, and sell lots of patio furniture.

It seems like the most laid back position in the whole store. You fill the shelves and tell customers where their favorite substances are.

Also, I don't know about other stores, but ours is way over-staffed on Drug/GM clerks.

If your store is like ours you will spend alot of your shift up front as a cashier.  Hopefully you never learned to run a register.  I just started working DGM and since I'm a cashier I'm the one they call.  It's alot of stress trying to get your work done while constantly being called to the front.

Think you got it hard? Try being in a small store as the only dairy clerk 2nd shift, who was dumb enough to take it upon himself to get cashier training. Now I'm bitched at because milk and eggs are empty when I'm up front trying to compensate for the lack of balls that all front end managers have for not writing up 40% of their cashiers for failing the painfully easy 95% ELMS goal. What's the point of even having front end managers if they let everything slide and depend on surge checkers like they're supposed to be up front their whole shift?

 You can not be written up/fired for not meeting cashier goals. Besides that FEM, can not write up an employee. They can only recommend to a manager that an employee be written up and if a manager is stupid enough to do it the Union would hopefully be all over them with grievances.

Y'all need to just call up front and tell them you have product out that needs to be put away.  They never call our nutrition lady anymore....she just tells them she has a bunch of frozen food she is putting away and can't leave it.  Same thing with dairy, tell them you have milk out or eggs etc. 

 

DGM - that make-up and shampoo can wait.

Ha!  I was never really "taught" to run a register and am still called constantly.  I've settled for allowing three calls per shift before I quit responding and have instructed others to do the same.  

Shoot, I don't have time to take a piss most days.  I'll be damned if I'm gonna let my realm go to hell so some register jockey can have plenty of smoky-texty.

 True and false. You can certainly be written up for not meeting goals set, but only a member of management can write anybody up.
