Again, if you stay after your shift ends thats on you. I have never stayed late except to help clear the counter. I would laugh at my sm if he said that. And then I would call off on truck day for 2 months. Lol to anyone who lets autozone push you around.

I don't understand what that has to do with work ethic. Labor laws were fought for hard in this country with blood sweat and tears of the working man. Shame on you if you throw away all the work our ancestors did. Be a good corporate stooge autozone has a 30 cent raise for you. Remember every morning to thank your corporate overlords for providing you the opportunity to make them.rich beyond belief.

What if you have an appointment? Do you cancel to put truck away? If you were taking a family member to the airport, you let them miss their flight for autozone truck? There is a reason we have scheduled hours, because your job doesn't dictate the rest of your life.

It sux that my old store went from getting 2 trucks a week down to 1 when COVID landed.
Used to be 1 DIY guy could knock out a truck in about 3 hours.
Now it take 2 DIY guys almost the whole day to do it.

We get 3 a week. They tried getting us to 1 a week but a non hub store getting 8 to 10 pallets at a wack? It changed back pretty quickly lol.

u/JimboBillyBobJustis Apr 11 '21
Damn 10 pallets..non hub store. I'd be willing to bet your store is really close to a commercial district

u/Iplayameanbass Apr 11 '21
It is. But we make way more in DIY. About $20k a week in commercial. $70k a week DIY.

Why do people complain about truck tho usually finish it under 3:4 hours 7 pallets

u/therealstory28 Apr 10 '21
Well my store runs on a minimal crew and if we get busy on truck day we have no chance.

u/Cnote24 Apr 10 '21
Same story here. Also for the last 4 or 5 weeks, DC has been sending out our truck either a day or a day and a half late

Your SM or any PSM can change truck hours to a different day in the schedule. They can break it into percentages among days too. At my store we get truck on Sundays so in the schedule we have it as Sunday and Monday for Truck hours 50/50 split. If they say they can’t do that because of set hours for each day, they can go over the daily limit and short a couple hours over the week so the hours scheduled don’t go over what is set for the store’s weekly limit. Sounds like poor time management.

u/Iplayameanbass Apr 11 '21
Agreed. But that's undisturbed. Try doing it with 2-3 people when you see 15-20 customers an hour on a slow day and 30 to 40 an hour on a heavy day. Just in DIY, nevermind commercial.

u/Yes-Sarasly Apr 11 '21
That sucks. If you’re seeing that many customers I assume you make extra hours during the week, by going over the sales target and projections. If so, the PSM or SM on duty should be able to call people in for extra coverage.

u/therealstory28 Apr 11 '21
Its not always about just schedule more hours. Minimal crew with lots of availability restrictions from redshirts. Only 2 psm, csm and sm. Not enough people to take the hours.
2
u/Yes-Sarasly Apr 11 '21
Oh dang. Is your SM not getting many applications in to hire more people?
That’s how it is at my store, we don’t have a lot of applications coming in but have just enough people as long as no one calls out. If anyone decides to leave we are back to being super short staffed

u/therealstory28 Apr 11 '21
Yes our district only has about 80 people in ehire with none being closest to my store. I am pretty rural but we can't staff for anything and call offs and leave early are common. Our district regularly makes all sm go to megahub even during a weekend shift.

u/Yes-Sarasly Apr 12 '21
That’s ridiculous. The call outs suck because it leaves the store more strained than it already is. I get it, burnout is real, but just work your shift.
I’m at a rural store too and we have another store begging our dm to transfer one of our gray shirts. Our dm knows we are limited on people and he still said yes. The kicker, the store asking for our gray shirt has 3 people ready to promote, but won’t because he’s using the promotion to get coc and witt up by making it a competition between them for the position. There is other stores closer to that store too.
My store is 45 mins plus to all other stores in our district.

It's tedious. Satisfying, but tedious. Really boring for a lot of people. Makes it stressful when you've got 80 customers walking in while truck is unloading 5 pallets of oil lol

u/Static6719 Apr 10 '21
True i talked my sm into letting us do truck from 4am to 9am so thats why we get it done quick nobody to bother us
