Locked Out

[SimplyRed]

So I pull in for my 6AM shift and as I step out of the car I hear the manager say dont get out - the locksmith is 20 minutes away! We actually have a manager here and can’t get into work for probably the next half hour, while he did say stay in your cars and stay warm, this is kind of a joke and I wasn’t planning on staying over my shift and quite frankly I’m tempted to leave. Anyone else out there experienced this at their store?

Well, that's a new one! I've only had Leads show up late. Or, not at all.

If you are there on time, they have to pay you from your scheduled start time and they can't keep you past your scheduled end time.

Hang out and get paid for sitting in your car.

 

[SimplyRed]

So do I clock in or wait on HR once we get in assuming

 

[SuperTarget]

Just make a punch correction for that time when you are able to

 

[SimplyRed]

We’re at the hour mark now, still not open locksmith has been here for ablout 10 minutes now and can’t get it, I’m just about to the point of saying screw it, I’m running my car using gas to keep warm

 

[BoxCutter]

You can go home then. The store shouldn't be able to discipline you. In fact, they should still pay you for 4 hours. That's how it is in my state.

 

[Captain Orca]

Relax and hang in there, the locksmith will eventually get it open. Captain had that happen once, no big deal.

 

[Fluttervale]

Stay.

If you choose to leave, they don't have to pay you. If they tell you to go, they might pay you (depending on state and policy.)

If you're concerned about gas, is there a fast food place nearby you can wait at and have them call you?

Can you suggest that maybe the locksmith would have better luck at a different door? Sometimes they don't think to try all the doors.

Stay & you get paid the whole shift

You don’t have to stay over. You do a punch correction and get paid for the tome you waited in your car.

 

[SimplyRed]

Thanks everyone! I stayed the first Locksmith had to call a second Locksmith so after about 70 minutes total, the door was opened snd we got in! Did punch correction before I left; so all was good today!

Wtf, like you can’t ask these questions from your manager, that’s literally right there? Gtfoh

 

[SimplyRed]

No need to be a rudea$$ about it Planosss!! I’m new on here and noodle spot so I was using this site for what it was designed for to get feedback from others and see what they would do in my situation! Maybe I have a reason for not asking the manager did you ever think about that? Thanks for being a jerk

@SimplyRed you are going to find that certain members of the board can, at times, be a bit cranky and rather snarky.
If you find that disquieting, click on their avatar and check off 'ignore'.
They won't get a chance to hurt you again.

Ours didn’t show up for work. He was over a hour late. We all stayed except for one person. That one person that left got a full days pay and an apology.

You could have shitty managers like mine who tried to pull "We will pay you when you got in the building, not when your shift was supposed to start." And multiple hotline calls happened and guess what they had to go around to every single one of us and correct their mistake. Never a bad thing to double check.

Alright, go ahead “live tweet “ your whole day.

This is great! You’re taking charge, and pooping. Not asking for our opinion on whether or not to poop!!!

I have to pee, do you think it would be a good idea to go? Should I hold it? Is there a good time to go? Help!!!!

 

[Tessa120]

If you are wearing earbuds and cannot hear your pee hitting the toilet water, does it truly make a sound?

Pee where you stand, unless ,you need to sit to pee.

 

[buliSBI]

What happened? Did a key carrier not show up? Or did the lock break?

 

[SimplyRed]

Lock broke
