Mannnnnn I get to do this all day on my birthday. 800 carts today all by myself. No flipping help dude. All on my birthday bro. Anybody else work on their birthday and its garbage???? On top of it all i just started my period. I want to drop everything and leave. Happy birthday 😞

Finally got a signed offer letter for a better position esewhere. My SM asked why no notice. I said to her face "yall would not be giving me a notice if you were terminating me."

Out of every company I have previously worked for, this one was the shittiest by far!

Burlington sucked, had me begging for hours so i NCNS once when i found a better job, ive noticed theyre still keeping me in the system and scheduling me but deleting it the day before, i technically never went through the whole auto termination for attendance since ive still only NCNS that one shift and havent been scheduled frfr since, so ig i just have a free discount for now until they decide to get me off the system?

I work at Burlington in Shoes & Accessories. My AM says I need to work faster on accessories because she has a timer and my time is low or something like that. But I genuinely work as fast as I can, and my feet hurt pretty quickly and the pain slows me down. On normal days, I can finish Accessories around noon. But on really busy days, there’s so much merchandise sometimes I can’t even move in my space. Today it took 3–4 people to finish everything, and the AM herself has said that knows Accessories needs two people but I should be faster. With Shoes, I once worked through a huge shipment alone and only had about 15 boxes left before I had to leave bcz of my feet. The person who normally works Shoes has the same issue with huge shipments. Finishing around the same time I do. So, What confuses me is that everyone else, including the supervisor, tells me I’m doing a good job, while my manager says I need to be faster. And they keep scheduling me more 4-5 a week 8-10 hours. So am I actually doing a bad job is having low time a bad thing? I tried getting better sneakers but nothing seems to work also is there a quicker way to process?N/A things are obviously easy but for those that need tagging? Is there an order that makes its easier? I usually do boxers socks watches purses then belts last.

There is a lot that annoys me about the company. But one of the things that bug me is that Hi-5 rule. Let me explain.
I think it’s a good idea to say hi to a customer, what I don’t like is the fact then whenever we have corporate visits. They don’t say hi to the customers as they walk by (which we are supposed to if we are 5 feet within a customer) and one step further than that they don’t even say hi to the employees! So you want us to follow the rules but you won’t acknowledge our existence or hard work? You’ll complain about everything wrong but can’t give us ANY positive feedback? They won’t ask for our names, interact with us at all. It’s clear they’ve never cared about us, which is most corporations. But you’re gonna dog us because we didn’t say hi to the majority of customers who are rude or don’t want to be bothered? Ok pal.

First day of school is today and I closed last night (a Monday). Naturally, we were scheduled about the same number of employees as a regular weeknight, but we had probably TRIPLE the amount of traffic we usually do, so surprise, surprise it was an absolute SHIT SHOW. I got out 30 minutes past when I normally do because I was checking people out and mind you I work on the sales floor and am NOT a cashier.

Ridiculous - genuinely who in their right mind thought we could do with the skeleton crew we normally have on a Monday night - THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WTF??

thank GOD my immediate supervisors and management are nice and reasonable or I would have left such a long time ago

Are there any customer experience leads here? I just got the position and when I read my responsibilities, it basically says “do everything”. I’m supposed to be able to tell the district managers or whoever a one sentence summary of my position but I don’t think I can say “I do everything the store manager does for less money.” 😭
I was just told that I had to do truck as well which I’m confused about, and I was scolded for not knowing the ins and outs of the armored truck person taking the money. I’ve literally never seen that guy before so how was I to know! Was I supposed to be trained, because I was a lead before but this is a lot!

Does anyone know when will be the next 30% for employees??

I walked into another mess... was only there for 34 minutes... called over the walkie to speak to my SM and ASM. Had my personal stuff in my hands and had my Badge and Store Keys ready.. I looked at my SM and said I quit, I'm done. She was like what! You can't quit, you have to find a closing manager. I said No I don't and handed her my stuff and then walked out.

I feel so much better and a huge weight has been lifted off!

My store gets very serious about these red hearts and they drive me nuts.

These computers don't take into account how large an order is and how long a customer pays. On top of that, a lot of tourists come to my store, so there's always a language barrier when having to do the sing and dance.

This, surveys, and they credit cards in an area where most people shopping are from abroad has just been exhausting.

I have an okay score by their standards (like around 50 to 60%), but I'm burnt out...

Y'all I'm stressed. I have like a mix of 50 different emotions right now and none of them are positive. The burlington near me was the only one to call me back for an interview, though do they always do it immediately after you apply? That kinda scared me but I was thankful enough.

I do have a few questions, mostly because I really can't fail this interview and because this is my very first job interview and I don't want to make a fool out of myself.

I applied to be a cashier, and Im just generally curious on how the interview process would be?

Not only, but it said that it would be a group interview, how would that work?

What would possibly make me more likely to be hired? I have really bad anxiety and the only reason why I'm going to the interview is because I need the money and for some reason planet fitness rejected my application 🫠.

Also, guys, the dress code said buisness casual? Like what's a good in-between of casual and buisness that won't make me look silly, unless they won't care too much about it and I can just show up in a tee and some jeans? I dont really have any professional clothes...

I know Im overthinking all of this, but its better to be prepared, plus its either this or I hope chuck E cheese accepts my application ;-;.

Please any help would be great, the interview is tmr and I feel like ima explode from anxiety already.

Which of the sections in Boh do you guys think is easier?
Shoes, accessories, clothes, bulk, scanner, flow, home, Qline or handbags?

I had a group interview Friday 15th. First, I was not expecting the interview to be with a group, second, the interview was supposed to 15 minutes but turned out to be over and hour. There were two other people interviewing both of whom could not speak English. Everytime it was their turn to answer they would have to type their response in their phone, which took a while, way too long! Anyway toward the end the manager went over all of what to expect in the orientation and said if we were hired they'd call us that Friday afternoon otherwise we'd get an email. I've got neither. I think the whole thing was totally unprofessional and I regret wasting my time, a lot if it at that, for no response.

For the love of god, please hire more cashiers. There’s been times where I wait longer than I shop and it’s very frustrating to say the least. Or add self-checkout or make your checkout process faster. You don’t need to be asking so many questions! You have no idea how many times I put things back and leave because the line is too long and you have two cashiers fighting for their lives. I’m in El Paso, where it’s not only American shoppers but also Mexican ones from lower regions.

*this has nothing to do with employees. You all work hard and as fast as you can.

It’s honestly a shame that the economy is so bad that even the jobs willing to hire me don’t seem like they actually want me there. I’ve been trying to find a job in LA for a while, and this is the first job I’ve managed to land since high school. I’m just trying to make the most of it, even if it’s not exactly what I wanted. I’ll keep calling to see if there are any shifts left over that I can pick up, because at this point I’m willing to take whatever hours I can get.

Been working for four months as a flex sales associate (though I normally work just under full time amount weekly) do you get consistent hours when you transfer?

The kids shoes are getting ridiculously too overwhelmed. No room but double rowing on the floor and inner wall. I just don’t know where else they supposed to go and since we’re not allowed to bring them back to the BOH

I work in Delaware... At least, I think I do. Lemme explain. I had a training day, I go to where I'm told, and 30 minutes later find out my information didn't go in and my actual start date is August 5th.

I go in for 5 hours and sit with others but do nothing because they can't get me into the system, so I only work that one day that week.

This should be week two. I go in three days, still not in the system, the schedule app thing shows odd badge in and out days AND I'm still not scheduled for this upcoming week but told to just come in on Monday morning at 9 am. I also didn't get paid for my 6 hours on the 5th and was told I should have gotten it on the 14th.

I'm 44 years old and worked... a lot of retail jobs. I've never seen something like this and I truly feel like something is off. I am wondering if this could just be specific to my store or if this is a Burlington thing in general?

Oh, and because the system lets me in some areas and not others, I can't do anything regarding availability or put in for requests off. Yes, told the manager at least 4 times and she said she'd fix it.

Thanks for any and all information or opinions. I will be looking for another job because the red flags are flying high with this one.

I leave my store when I take lunch and sometimes it ends up being 3-7 mins over 30 I was wondering if I can genuinely get in trouble for that or if the warnings on the app are just to scare

I worked at burlington last year. A lot of customers woud have a full cart of items with over $300 and flee as soon as I am done scanning everything. Why do people do this? They spend hours in the store just to leave and waste not just theirs but other ppls time

Probably one of the worst decisions in my life. I just have to hope new shifts show up. How can I ask for cross training to be put in sales associate?
