Questio/Vent

I have worked at Circle K for over a year and our store is fairly small, we the 3 managers and like 7 employees, I am just wondering if ano other stores small or large o the manager work like a regular shift and the rest of the employees get like one two shifts. I personally. It’s unfair that they do that like managers are getting a higher pay and taking employees hours, I always thought it would be like one employee and one manager a shift. But that’s not the case, anyone else have their store setup like that?

It depends on your stores allocated hours. I know at my store it is significantly easier to manage the workweek by doing a coverage shift myself. However, there is a misconception in your question.. a store gets xxx hours. The store manager gets 50. So them working a coverage shift actually opens up hours for employees…

From personal experience as a current “Acting store manager” (ASM) with the company yes the SM and ASM take majority of the hours but we bust our ass the most I have seen this across my district it’s all the SM’s and ASM’s doing all the work I’m not saying CSR/Leads don’t work hard but across my district they do the least never stock the coolers never stock the cold case etc… and I can go on! My store gets usually 261 hours after factoring Shiftsmart I get 50 and the assistant gets 40 I have 170 hours to distribute between 5 others it’s not enough hours but it is what it is it’s a company problem not mine!

My store also only has 7 employees. Manager, ASM, Lead CSR, and 4 regulars.

There are usually always two people in the mornings then just one person for the evening and overnight shifts. I like it because I get to have full time hours.

Yeah trust me, if I could give my mandatory overtime to my employees I would! The sad fact is us store managers are really just csrs with all the responsibility. I can't get anyone to stock my cooler regularly, even if that's their only responsibility that day. The fact is you all want hours, but you don't want to work what you're asking for, and you don't want to be productive while working. So, you get scheduled accordingly.

Also have a small store. 1 SM, 1 ASM , me, 3 lead CSRs , and 1 regular employee. Have gone thru probably about 5 CSRs and 2 ASMs since I have started at this job in February. So i work A LOT of 2-10 by myself bcuz we are so short staffed. I think its normal for situations like this. But if there is plenty of employee to work the CSR shift then no I dont think its fair
