Haven't posted any stories in a while so I thought it would be fun to post some wonderful Dollar Admiral suckiness.
You wouldn't be fishing for a freebie would you?
Guy comes in the other day and buys a bag of charcoal (the instant kind where you just set the bag on fire and you're ready to go). A couple hours later he calls and tells me that the bag he bought is defective and couldn't get to light, most likely due to the fact that the charcoal sits outside and probably got moisture in the bag. But then he delivers the classic SC line 'So what are you going to do for me?'
Ugh
I tell him to bring the bag back and I'll either give him a refund or he can swap it out for one that's been sitting inside. Surprise surprise, he tells me he already has the bag in the grill and had to use lighter fluid to get the bag to light. I tell him I need the bag to do the return so then he just hangs up.
Let's throw a giant fit in the store and get in a dick waving contest
This is from yesterday. My truck is supposed to arrive between 11-3. At 830am my pepsi vendor shows up to deliver. They need to borrow 3 of my u-boats, one for my weekly special order, one for a new display they're given for September, and a third just for help transporting all the pop into my store.
Well, about 9 my truck decides to show up, freaking TWO HOURS EARLY. This is bad. I'm by myself, trying to get pepsi checked in and having to deal with cranky old people who are mad I'm not standing at the register like a mindless sheep.
So I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to clean up my back room and let the truck driver in the back door and give him enough room to put all my new merchandise. Plus get all my cardboard and empty rolltainers out.
So things start to settle down a little, truck gets logged in and he starts unloading so I go back to Pepsi. Well a few minutes later the truck driver comes out and starts screaming at Pepsi because they're using too many u-boats and he needs them. So my vendor screams back at him that they're allowed to have these u-boats per the monthly mag and he shouldn't have been two hours early anyways. That just flustered the truck driver and he slinked away. Pepsi wins.
The sign was 20 feet away, nice try
Our leftover graduation party supplies are currently 90% off. So I condensed everything into a nice little section with a big sign and left plenty of empty space around it so people wouldn't get confused. Silly me.
Lady comes up with some twine and yells at the cashier because it didn't ring up 90% off. Uhhh, the BIG sign says Graduation merchandise 90% off, not only that, but the twine was at the other end of the aisle. The lady seriously thought the ENTIRE aisle was 90% off instead of that one tiny section where all the signs were.
Another company getting bought out apparently means we're getting bought out
In case anybody doesn't know, Kinfolk Dollar might be getting bought out either from my company or Dollar Elm. Well as soon as that news started last month, it's been like a game of operator. I've heard everything from all three dollar stores are merging into one and my personal favorite, Awful-mart is buying us and firing us all. Nevermind the fact that my company isn't the one being bought out.
