I worked for a dollar branded store they would monitor the companies Reddit for employees that were being saying something bad.
They’d look thru the account for pictures of the store layout or anything identifiable. Like the weather on certain days were specifically helpful yes.
In more ways than people realize. I’ve got so many heartbreaking stories.
My record for most drugs found in the bathroom was six baggies of crystal. One of my jobs as GM+ was “he’s been in the bathroom for a really long time… and there’s no noise in there”
“Alright I get the narcan from my car (we weren’t allowed to keep it in the building but sometimes you need narcan)”
Another horrible story is the time I spent all day stomping on baby Jesus. Products have to be destroyed so not peasants can take them out of the trash. Surprisingly a lot of people didn’t want to stomp on Jesus Christmas ornaments. So I went around to all the store to stomp on Jesus for them.
Actually the worst part of all is people died at stores. Nothing that was our fault but yeah, I saw people die and didn’t even list that as one of the “sad things” it was just a tuesday
Sorry I thought it was obvious if you think about it.
It was dollar tree. I worked the transition from family dollar-dollar tree- dollar tree plus.
What I can say good about dollar tree is I went from part time cashier on Christmas for extra money to running stores in 6 months. I opened 7 stores, lead the stocking teams, helped out at dozens of stores and was “person you call” when you don’t know who to call. DMs called me. On the other hand i had a mental breakdown (litterly I was hospitalized for close to a month then I moved home with my mother that’s how damaging the work was under that one specific district manager) so dollar tree is a great place to move up but it’s like… Harvey Weinstein…. Yeah he can make you a star but at a cost.
Also on a lighter note, I don’t believe in Nebraska. It’s a myth. I’ve never met a person from Nebraska and neither has anyone one else. I’ve never seen a Nebraskan license plate. Is it Nebraskan? Nebraskanight? Nebraskanought?
Do you guys have austronoughts or something? Or is it just corn?
The next town over from me is having a dispute over repaint the water tower that currently features someone you’ve never heard of and his (music?) career.
Anyway I suspect Nebraska news is that all the time.
To be clear I’ll take my stereotype card. I’m from Texas. Yes I had horses but not everyone from Texas did… yes I rode it to school for special events but it wasn’t a day to day a thing. We had a car.
What does Nebraska have? Elephants? My god do you guy have like mammoths or something. I bet you have a good hockey team. I don’t watch sports but it sounds like a Nebraska thing “Nebraska mammoths”
I know sports teams are normally named after a city but I can’t think of a single city in Nebraska. Nebraska city? My good is the state capital Nebraska city and it has an amazing zoo and a board walk are that’s kinda dangerous after sundown?
I’ve got bad news for you about capitalism in general.
Dollar tree isn’t specifically bad. In fact I recommend working there if you need a lot of experience really quickly. It’s “easy “ in that way. You’ll move up faster than you would at Walmart.
But yeah most stores regardless of brand there is ALOT more going on than you see. Like someone dropping dead in line 10 min before you walked in. If the store manager is running the register at any store something very bad happend s/happening
Sure, but I was talking about general complaints. Things like, “the drivers here are so bad”, “the winters are too cold and the summers are too hot”, “the government sure is poorly run”, “the yellow sports car parked out in front of the fast food place I work looks so stupid”, “I hate my boss and his stupid name, like seriously, who is named Methuselah Honeysuckle”, and “If they don’t give me a raise this time, I’m going to start a union, I’m serious, working a Chipotle sucks”.
You know, the kind of stuff that could never be traced back to me.
Well, guess it’s nice to know I’m not giving away my location when I complain.

Are you willing to name and shame? Which company was it?
Honestly? Dollar stores are all pretty bad.
I’ve only been in one. The food I saw meant for humans, I wouldn’t feed to my pets. Never again

I figure if some place is selling Jesus merch to amass wealth, it’s not intended as a holy item and shouldn’t be treated as one. Stomp away. Lol
That said though, the company demanding damaging product before chucking it is just shit tier behavior.

Tell dollar tree I will never shop at a dollar. Tree.

I totally get that and thought about it. People reading it might think differently and I wanted to warn them. Not specifically you.
Funny story though: my ex wife lived in the same small town as me and she told me “you’re employees were talking shit about you”
“Well yeah… I’m the boss. We all talk shit about our bosses “
“Do you want to know what they said “
“Nope.‘if it’s important they’ll talk me directly “
