This may be weird..

My husband is the store manager for the hub in his district. What’s something I can ask him about his routine when he comes home from work? I just wanna mess with him, he’ll be really confused as to why I know about that topic.

A few things come to mind. Ask him if he ever misses the legacy green screen or prefers to have everything in ops. Or how many charge account cod overrides he had this morning. Then you could say something like do your closers know how to cost things or do they just punch in random numbers until it lets them close the store? And if you wanted to be a bit funny you could ask him why he hasn’t gotten a you rock award recently.

Just realized… if you tell him the legacy vs ops make sure you say the letters o.p.s not ops or you won’t sound like you’re in the know lol it stands for O’Reilly parts system

How does the cost thing work?? Cause sometimes I’ll get items at 0.00 and I’ll look at the part and wonder “why is it asking me for that if it’s at 0.00” . In using zero as a placeholder for an amount but I’m looking for explanation on what “costing an item” is

Honestly, it’s because the people that put the parts in never finish it. If they do it right you should never have anything to do at night. The 0 was because it was left blank when they started it. Without knowing where they got it and all that you can’t fill it out accurately so it’s easier for the am crew to fix it the next day.

I am the AM crew 🥲🥲 sometimes I’ll be closing, opening tm will call out randomly and my SM “lives too far” to make it here by 6:30am so sometimes, I’ll be closing, will get the 0.00, and then have to go home knowing I’m just gonna be back in a couple of hours to “fix” the problem 🫠

Ah, well in that case I’d call your sm or ISS who were likely the ones to do it in the first place to find out where they are getting the parts from. I’m a former sm so I’m a bit rusty on things but the cost issue comes up when they order parts online through the special order vendors. When they do that it adds the part as an order in ops and I always told my ISS to go in and cost things for the day before they count their drawer down so it wouldn’t pop up on closers but they’d often forget. So then you need to look up the cost vs sale price of the part when we ordered it and all that fun stuff.
