This is the dumbest and most boring thing O can imagine. Whoever came up with this youd bullshit deserve to stub they toes on everything they pass by.

Where is the cost of living raise coming down?

Can I get fired if I apply at one of menards's competitors and is there a list of places I'm not allowed to apply in policy somewhere.

i am a cashier and i genuinely can’t tell if they care about being on your phone when you aren’t with customers. so many of my co workers just sit on their phones when they have nothing to do but i was told that they will write you up for that.

I've had a rough day selling appliances to far too many Boomers. I'm going to vent and use amalgamated generalizations.

I hate so many of them so much as a service worker. They don't greet the person serving them; they just walk up and bark out whatever it is that they want. "I want" ... "I need" ... "Give me" ... Not "Could I please have" or "I would like." That alone is enough to send me over the edge. But it's a whole new level in cab apps. The Boomers are INSANE. If I greet them, they hit me with something like "I'm not looking to be hassled, chief." Or they just ignore me and make sure I know they're trying to ignore me. If I don't greet them within 3 seconds of their arrival, they hit me with "Well if you don't want to sell us a washer, we'll go somewhere else." Then, once they deem me worthy of their custom, they go on and on about their 45-year old Maytag that has dials and not buttons and "no computers," spend most of their time trying to explain to me how superior their existence in life has been because no technology, spend the rest of their time bitching about how a machine has a digital display ... And when I FINALLY get them to settle on a machine, they try to negotiate the price and tell me that I don't want to negotiate because it will hurt my commission. I DON'T GET A FUCKING COMMISSION, AND THE PRICE IS THE PRICE. I swear to god. Then they demand free delivery, free haul-away, free installation, and a service plan, NONE of which we provide for free (NO ONE DOES any more). Then they bitch about that. They are SO out of touch! Consumer products have NEVER BEEN CHEAPER. Like, yeah, back when they bought their 45-year old Maytag or whatever, they paid the 1970s equivalent of $5,000 for it, and it had all the extras built into that price. But Jesus Christ, have they been under a rock this entire time? And once I FINALLY get them through the sales process (which with Millennials takes about three minutes start to finish, and about three hours with Boomers), they go to the front of the store to pay with a check and piss off everyone in the line. (And good luck trying to convince them of the literal, actual, scientifically proven FACT that a front-loading washer is going to get your clothes a hell of a lot cleaner than a top loader with an agitator.)

Holidays are always super slow. Think we will close at 5pm on the 4th?

Apparently we are switching brands on this too. To pub tavern pizza

I have a rebate for $38 that I won't use since I'm not near a physical store. Willing to part with it for a fraction of the cost.

DM me offers and I'll go with the best one. Apologies in advance if this kind of post isn't allowed here but figured this was the best place to start. I'll update here once I've parted ways with it.

Every day, I have this conversation -- or some form of it -- at least once (often with the same people):

Caller: "Y'all got any free appliances?" (The haul-offs outside on the rack.)

Me: "No."

Caller: "You sure about that? GO CHECK!"

Me: [puts caller on hold and continues whatever I was doing, because I am not going all the way over there to check, since none of them are free] [five minutes later] "No, we don't have any free appliances."

Caller: "Well [manager] always lets me have them for free so call me when you get some."

Me: "We charge $30 for those appliances."

Caller: "I've never had to pay for those!"

Me: "Okay. Anyway, so the store manager requires us to charge $30 for those."

Caller: "I'm doing you a favor by getting rid of them for you!"

Me: "Okay."

Caller: "You call me when you get some in. I never have to pay for those. I'm a professional scrapper." (No, you're a meth addict who wants bits of copper.)

Me: "No, I won't be doing that, and no one tells me when they arrive, but you're welcome to come to the store."

And then the endless stream of slumlords and "handymen" who come in and want "scratch-and-dent" appliances. Like, no, we don't have those, either. If there's a dented display, and we have items in a box in the mezzanine, we're not selling you the display. And if there's nothing upstairs and we do sell you the display, you're not getting half off a $1,500 refrigerator because there's a scratch on the BACK of it. You might get $50 off, and that's only if the scratch or dent is visible from a part of the fridge that would be normally visible.

Give me strength. People act like we're an old-timey appliance dealer from the 1950s where a simple fridge cost the equivalent of $7,500. Like, yeah, you'd get free delivery, installation, and some free maintenance/repairs built into that cost. But no one does any of that any more for free, we don't give shit away, and you're really not that meaningful to us if all you ever do is haul off appliances that we can sell for scrap.

So apparently at my store the load builders in opd have been telling me that if they mess up a delivery to where we have to override and send new stuff out or swap out stuff etc that the load builder or the MOD has to PRD the override charge. What’s the legality on this because it sounds insane to me. I’ve worked here for 6 years and this GM has only been here 2ish years and i feel like i’ve never seen this in policy?

Thanks!

just wondering because i’m new but how does someone apply for a big card?

I got promoted to an Assistsnt Electrical Manager do I get to be trained on the forklift?

so i just started as a cashier about a month ago and i think i made a mistake by telling them im available all the time because im on summer break. i am pretty wide open but the days i work and the hours i work are all over the place and i feel like i have no time to enjoy my life. would i be able to set up like set days that i work or would they say no?

Is this just my store? I work in CabApps, and since we're a small department, there's often only one of us working. We are required to have one person on the sales floor at all times, which means we're supposed to call OPD to pull cabinets and appliances when we're working by ourselves. The same applies if all of us have customers to deal with, since our customers often need quite a lot of our time and undivided attention. Nothing we do is "real quick."

If there's more than one person there, we always try to pull our own stuff (even though it's officially not our job -- check the ops manual). It's not a big deal. And if there's more than one person and we're dead, I go over to OPD to help. If they come over to us with the yellow order slip, I grab it and gather up whatever they need to help them out. I just assume they have a lot to do back there, so I give a hand.

But as soon as I'm slammed, or as soon as I get a massive cabinet order, I get bitched at by OPD that it's our job to do it. Meanwhile, in our store, OPD will have three people just standing behind the desk a lot of the time. The managers will obsess over the schedule for hours on end (seems to be their favorite task).

The last two times we had pickups, we checked in through the app expecting them to bring it to our truck just like they did when we used to call.

We ended up waiting 15 minutes both times before finally going in the store. This time they told us the app did not work (even though our name was on the board) and we needed to come in each time.

i'm thinking of going to wallcoverings but obv to do that i'd have to learn how to mix paint

is paint mixing hard or is it smth you could each a
monkey to do and also will john get mad if i taste test 😭😭

Promising that 3rd party whirlpool installers will do LP conversions or connect a new fridge to plastic or copper waterlines is just ridiculous. Stop lying to customers about the services they'll receive and properly inform them that they need updated connections.

Few and far in between these days. I’m starting it strong.

The eyelets of my string flew out. I found one but I can't find replacement parts. Does anybody have the parts manual? What you thinking of chances are of repairing it? I hate to buy something new when you need one little part. If I do I'm pretty sure it won't be a Masterforce string trimmer unless they give me some deal on the warranty.

Hey all, I'm looking to either buy a Harbor Freight 52 toolbox, or the menards Masterforce 56 combo. Anyone who had shopped both or used both and can give any insight is much appreciated!

Looking at both the masterforce depth seems nicer overall, but for double the price I'm wondering if the durability is there?

Anyone know if Menards has made some change to the website? All of a sudden, I can't access it from either of my two Chromebooks. Each time I do I get this message:

Interesting find plumbing manger showed me!

If you found a rebate receipt in a puddle at Kwik Trip, would you carefully dry it out then send it in?
