Six day work week
Any thoughts from any supervisors out there being required to work 3, six day work weeks, with multiple 10 and 12 hour days required. Doesn’t seem like the best idea in the midst of a pandemic!

Shoplifting
The shoplifting at my store is SO bad, I feel like it would be more efficient if we're just unloaded trucks into the parking lot instead of moving merchandise around 5 times. If I lock up merchandise, that hurts our sales. But if I put everything... — read more
