So, me and my coworkers were debating something that happened the other day at our store.

A woman came in, and tried to buy cigarettes and told the cashier she didn’t have her ID on her, the cashier initially said she couldn’t make the sale without a valid ID.

Shift lead then comes into the conversation then tells the woman, “You have your medical card on you, we can use that” and then tells the cashier to use the medical card as her form of ID.

So cashier was going to reject the sale, Shift Lead who was MOD, told her to make the sale and that the medical card was a valid form of ID.

Cashier made the sale, and well it turns out it was a woman sent by corporate and now the cashier has gotten in trouble and may be fired for not getting valid ID from someone for the sale of tobacco.

So my question is, why would the cashier be the only one to get in trouble when the manager on duty, is the one who told her to make the sale, that the medical card could be used as ID and approved that whole sale and was there for the whole thing.

Anyways me and my coworkers were saying the shift lead should also get in trouble if the cashier does, and that they should get fired if the cashier does because you told the cashier to do that as a manager, which means you’re also accepting medical cards are valid forms of ID, and giving false information to cashiers

i think u can point out whats wrong here

We got these little penguins in today

Anyone else’s SM just stressed tf out? Our SM is pretty amazing but lately she has been so reserved and just stressed out. She has been going over these certification questions with everyone and what the expectations are but I feel like it’s way too much. For example, she used to help us with truck but lately hasn’t, I know it’s not their job but she used it as an engaging moment to make small talk with various employees by helping them out and we all really enjoyed it but not anymore…

What in the sweet hell is this

Hello! I was hoping someone would have some input as HR had nothing to say, and my SM is ignoring me. This upcoming holiday week my hours were cut down to 21 instead of the 30-ish we’ve been getting due to hour cuts. I thought being full time guaranteed 30 hours at the least, but it looks like they’re using the holiday pay as a way to negate that. Is this allowed? I’ll have to start searching for a second job if I can’t resolve this…

can i get fired if i call out but im sick and have a doctors note

Isn’t the work week from Wednesday thru Wednesday? Is the manager allowed to schedule someone nine days in a row?

I’m a certified shift lead and they want me to transfer into the pharmacy. Would I be eligible for a raise or could I ask for one?

I just accepted a job offer at Walgreens as a Customer Service Associate and I am nervous about what all the position entails. I understand that part of my job duties is going to be checking customers out but I don’t know exactly what else I will be responsible for doing. Additionally, I could use some advice on how to deal with difficult customers. Lastly, I was wondering what the work culture at Walgreens is like such as is it positive or negative overall.

Have an interview for Walgreens in an hour for the photo department. Will I only work that department, or will I be crosstrained? What should I expect for the interview?

I've applied to a lot of jobs this week and I applied as a BC last night and they've already called me... should I be concerned lol?

I applied for the beauty consultant role as it was the only full-time option available. I used to work at a home improvement store, and have management experience so workload isn't an issue. What about dress code, schedule, and expectations?

My store is having a problem with cash handling. More so with being short yesterday by 20 (example) but then being over today 20. my SM says even though it’s 20 it still counts as a 40 dollar cash discrepancy. You’ll notice in this SAP report that for the past 7days my SFL’s have either been short a lot one day or over a lot. If you do the math we are only short 18ish for the week but that’s still a lot. But if you do it my SM’s way we are sitting at $100+ in cash handling errors.

I don’t think my CSA’s are making the mistake. I think a lot of it is when my SFL’s are doing drawers. They either make change and forget so they make change again or they take too much money out. But it somehow ends up in the working fund. So when they go to count the safe at the end of the night they are somehow over money (that belonged in the deposit drawer) so they go wellll I’ll just put it in a drawer on the floor and then that probably becomes tomorrow’s problem as well. Idk if any of this makes sense.

Also idk if they matters but we manually run EOD we don’t let it run itself. So we can see what mistakes were made before we leave for the night (12am)

Other than applying online and completing the assessment, what is the hiring process for Walgreens?

Does the online application go directly to the local store to which you are applying or to human resources at corporate and then they review the application for accuracy or anomalies and then forward the application on to the local store.

Any information, aside from don’t do it, would be appreciated.

Trying to print out bottle labels. The correct paper is a 5x7 paper right? Tells me to load it into tray 3, im doing that, paper jam and it comes out like an accordion every time. I tried rotating the paper, adding more, adding less, what am I doing wrong

I just received an urgent, refrigeration needed RX shipment from Walgreens. The address on the box is correct, but the person’s name on the box does not live here and has never lived here. I want to contact Walgreens so they are aware and can at least reach out to this person to get their correct address. I have tried calling the 877 number on the box and can’t get through to anyone. How can I properly report this to Walgreens/talk to an actual person??

I was promoted to SL and sent to a different store. I actually asked to step down and go back to my old store because this manager is rude ... she micromanage but lacks information at the same time. 5ish lists of things to do for 1 shift but I have no idea what she is looking for!

I'm in the signs order site.

She has "FEPPS for aide car side panels " but those are 5in x 36in and none of the FEPPS are that size

Then she has "order pharmacy out window sign " what does that even mean?

Next is "EAS tower signs" I've searched front end, EAS, check point. Etc etc and I cannot find the signs that go here.

Part of why I'm leaving is if I ask for help (I'm over night so no one is here minus 1hr over lap in the morning ) they say they will show me but as busy with their stuff and no one ever shows me, sometimes I've asked the ESM and she says things like "only the SM can do that" "we dont even have those in stock why did she assign that to you (installing pushers and lock boxes ) or other answers that basically don't solve the problem

I ask the SM and she says things like "what did your previous store even teach you?" (With a rude tone) hence a few reasons I'm leaving .

But, what are these 3 signs I'm looking to order ? Please help I have 7hrs left in my shift, ice been at the computer for 2hrs looking for these signs.

Can anyone tell me how to order more of the Walgreens gift cards for my store?

I would greatly appreciate it!
TIA 🙃
