So yeah, I just read a lot of the reviews on here and the one thing that popped in my head head was, A.A. Just like in A.A., you all have the same stories, just different ways of saying them. You know what, if you don't like the compnay, leave. Yeah, it is true that we management do not care about you pee-on employees, but no company really does. The company is out there to make money. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. How else will it survive. If you are just reading this blog about the company I can tell you that upper management does some bullshit things. Hmmmm, let's think of the best one to date. Ever since I have worked for the company I have always said, and other managers agreed, that AD items should be on an endcap. This saves time for us managers running back and forth filling a shelf that holds 2-8 items in that little space. It pisses me off that I would stop doing what I was doing to get a fucking $.33 can of tomatoe fucking soup. Everytime time I ask or "suggestion box" this idea it was rejected, why because they didn't want to pay me the money knowing it was a good idea. All of a sudden upper management wants us to have a mandantory endcap with the AD items for that week that WILL sell a lot of. Its like they steal store employees, MGT's, EXA's and store managers ideas for themselves just so the company doesn't have to pay the money for a good suggestion, no they paid this asshole fuck $50.00 for suggesting adding extra trash bags at the bottom on trash cans to save time. <----STUPID IDEA!!!!

The one thing I hate about the company is that they take money from the Assistants, then then they cut hours, finally they say oh by the way here is another ass ramming for you, we are going to fire/lay-off 6000 assistants and give that position to the STL. The STL is the dumbest idea ever. Here you have an employee that has keys, but no authority. Think about how many people are going to figure out that the STL can't tell them what to do. Straighting is going to look like dog shit with these stores. We should be called Wal-greens, Wal-mart's little pig brother. STL, stand for Snitching on The Lessers. Basically if something doesn't get done one night the store manager is going to ask the STL who didn't do their job. Wait a minute here, can a cashier tell a photo tech what to do? No, they can't. So what thinks people will listen to the STL.

I recently visited a Walgreens in Summerlin. The pharmacist was very rude and the MGTs never even acknowledged me. You call that great service? The pharmacy clerks were slow and blamed it on the computer. Yeah sure I believe that.

I want to see how the STL turns out, it should be a complete mess, the store will still look good and all, but all the salary people like EXAs and store managers will be working their butts off, maybe 70 hours a week, due to one mgt down.
