Tablets

We have several tables at the desk. Each one has a feature that doesn't work, ranging from the credit card slider not working to not being able to print anything. We're down from three printers to one now. Driver's license and Sam's Club cards won't... — read more

Email only working for BYOD at the moment.

This is such a lame and obvious way of them trying to get people to sign up for byod. What’s funny is they think they’re being clever by making it seem as if it’s an accident. I really hope someone higher up reads this. We’re not as stupid as you... — read more

It all eventually quiets down

See that people have been posting about their displeasure regarding the implementation of block scheduling, but after a week or two it all quieted down. Think that this pattern that I saw on this board is a good representation of how we deal with... — read more

PPTO/KEY EVENT DATES

In my club, every single manager you ask on this topic says a completely different answer. Some say PPTO does not excuse you from Key Event Dates, some say you need triple the PPTO hours to cover your entire shift on a Key Event Day (8 hours per... — read more

Seeing some improvements

I see people complaining their sales are dropping - but our club is actually seeing an increase in foot traffic and sales. Which makes me even madder when they cut positions or hours in the middle of improving results - how exactly do they expect us... — read more 

Sales keep dropping

Is there any indication that our esteemed leadership will try to deal with the issue of dropping sales in any substantial way that might actually change the trend - or is it going to be layoffs, eliminated positions, and cut hours forever and ever... — read more

It's just a job. Why you're taking it so personally?

It's just a job. Why you're taking it so personally? These customers, or members if you must, are shoppers, not our children, family, or friends, (well, not most of them.) They pay to shop here, so we kiss their butts a bit more than they do at other... — read more 

We’ll get used to block scheduling

Not that we have any choice, but this will go down like any new id--tic idea that they have imposed on us. A little revolt on forum pages, some talk about it around the water cooler, and before we know it it is the new reality. Don’t get me wrong... — read more
