pharmacy closure

-snipps-
commented

Incorrect. If there is a workplace disruption you are to be paid for the hours your are scheduled, but If you were not on the schedule then you won't receive pay (as in coming in to help off schedule).

We have had to do it multiple time for the front end when it would just be a SFL due to csa callin or when the closing SFL doesn't come in and they are not able to locate coverage for the shift.

Disaster Ahead

-snipps-
replied to chewbrew

I'm a tech trained SFL at a tier 4. Me and my SM have been putting so much time into pharmacy that the front is suffering. It's like an ill trained lifeguard trying to save someone from drowning and then being pulled down by them(no shade, everyone back there is doing the best they can.) We are like a month behind on resets, and truck takes us about 6 days to get thru.

And now we have X-mas coming up. Fucking throwing a gascan into a bonfire.

Shits so fucked.

doing vitamin resetting by myself while my shitty sfl walks around the store looking busy

-snipps-
commented

He's clearly not suited for leadership as it's our responsibility to ensure things are taken care of. Whether that's checking to ensure csa's did said thing or doing it yourself (assuming you have staff to support a service on a given day). Hell, I can't tell you how many times I've cashiered as a SFL to ensure my productive csa's stay happy and sane by working on projects.

You should honestly tell your SM about it. If nothing gets done about it then you've gotta decide if your store is worth staying at if.

Mark Rosewater wants to hear from the community: Aside from the original Lorwyn five, which planeswalker character do you love the most?

The next time we see him he may be Completed. He gave up his Spark to bring Karn back and his body was left on New Phyrexia. With out a spark to protect him, he would be vulnerable to Phyrexian oil.

It could possibly explain how Vorinclex made it to Kaldheim as Vensor was working on a plane shifting vessel prior to being enlisted by Elspeth and Koth and would most likely continue his efforts for Phyrexia once Complete.

Craziest reasons you've heard someone got fired?

-snipps-
commented

Let's see.

A former SM boning an employee on break room table before open.

SFL clocks in, leaves store to purchase booze from liquor store across parking lot and then returning to work.

Overnight CSA sleeping in the paper product shelving above track.

CSA let's friends walk out with shopping cart of local branded sports sweaters.

CSA took around $400 from reg 1 over their first week.

Those are the easiest to recall.

wage increase

Absolutely. I would much prefer they had brought back the Head Photo Tech 10-6, 5 days a week to handle photo/WU/Fed-ex. Would be such a massive improvement to SFL workload.

Yep. The SFL cap will also generously be raised from $18.25 to $18.50. Which will probly still be less than BC cap.

Fucking BC's have a higher cap than SFLs in every zone. Fucking absurd. And I'm having to teach my RXoM how to do the management portion of her job because she's never held one. Fucking Bullshit.

replied to StarlessBlue

Honestly I don't really need to move up. I don't have any debts so the extra pay is nice but not a necessity (plus more responsibility which is meh, I've got my job down perfectly except when corp throws something new into the mix).

Oh I have no problem helping, even being back their all day(I was the only person other than a Pharmacist once at a 24hr from 4-9pm. As a 10+ yrs employee I've seen plenty of shitty patients/customers. That's were the Manager portion of my job is handy. I can politely tell then to fuckoff and ban/trespass them without running it by anyone else due to the respect and trust my SM has in me.

Plus it's pretty fun doing it.

True, but the title gives me the Authority to use that power in the eyes of the company and public we deal with.

But to be honest. I like having the power to kick assholes of out the store. I wish I could keep the SFL title for the power and just work in the pharmacy all the time.

Walgreens becomes newest member of the $15 an hour club

-snipps-
commented

So I'm a SFL. The biggest issue with this other than it taking upto next year is whether or not WAGs will also raise existing employees based on the rate they started at before the $15 min.

For example, $11.50 was the original starting pay for SFL. It was raised to $12.50 a few years later, but at the time those already making more than $12.50 and had started at the $11.50 rate did not see a corresponding increase in pay and had to individually ask for the raise.

As it stands I'm near the current Cap on SFL pay and when this is available I expect to be raised to the new Cap. If not, looks like in updating my resume.

Has anyone even gotten anyone to sign up for the credit card?

-snipps-
commented

I just tell the customer to select the red button. I refuse to promote it on ethical grounds. If a customer actively asks me to sign them up then sure.

But most of the customers can't read pricing correctly, are old as fuck or are low income. So I'm not gonna load them up with more debt.

With how hard it is to hire SFL's and staff in general, I've got job security as long as I don't do something asinine like punching a customer.

Be warned that this probly won't work for you tho.

Showing Off My Merit Raise

-snipps-
replied to IisBaker

If that's true, Wags is still gonna fuck people over by not adjusting anyone that's above the new minimum automatically. I've seen it happen before when the SFL wage was raised from $11.50 to $12.50.

So for everyone still with the company when/if this happens, you should request that your wage be adjusted by the same amount that the starting wage is being adjusted, or if you are at Cap or near just keep the same distance to the new Cap.

replied to veilwalker

If the Farms aren't offering insurance or retirement funds, that $25/hr doesn't mean Jack. It might seam like alot but it's high intensity labor.

There is alot more to factor in that just the hourly wage being offered.

Then your SM is dumb cause wtf are you supposed to do if there is no other coverage. You need a mid shift to cover when you break. If your feeling like being a smart ass, suggest your SM come back in so you can break.

Walgreens in the Twin Cities is now offering a third dose booster of Pfizer/Moderna to walk-in’s whom are immunocompromised.

-snipps-
replied to minnesotamoon

As a employee, their decisions have been pretty shitty the last few years.

But if you should be getting the booster then get it. Its not worth risking your health to give the shaft to Wags.

Just be as polite as possible because the majority of the public doesn't realize just what we have to put up with. Both from customers and our Corporate Overlords.
