Our DBIC (district b**** in charge) says no clearance on the front endcaps (even if it's the home location) Price change has to mark all clearance on the salesfloor and push it the same day (with no extra hours) and our STL wants us to go ahead and PTM the aisles we are heavily tearing up while scanning for outs on all the other aisles.. Seriously? Why do we even have instocks/hardlines/softlines if I am doing EVERYTHING for them with zero recognition.. it's more like an expectation. I'm having to do 20hrs of overtime each week just to get it done..

Haha this is much more accurate for Pfrsesh....Never understand how frozen things get moved to not frozen areas or vice versa...one time i found clothing in the freezer..like wtf...

Another time someone actually put an item behind a bunch of other ones and it looked like it actually took some effort...like...why...

The ones that still have coffee in them always get me. If you're spending all that money on a Starbucks beverage, why wouldn't you drink the whole thing and get your money's worth?
