What being DS was like for me
Id come into work early after closing the night before.
I'd start scanning outs to be interrupted by my ASM handing me a 2 page list of tasks (just bullet points) he says "top priority"
Then ask i start working on my tasks, when I hear my name on the PA System
"SCOTT TO SERVICE DESK" "SCOTT TO PRO DESK" "SCOTT TO RECEIVING"
15 pages per 30 minutes, phone ringing off the hook
Load customers, cover this department, bring in freight, rework the front apron, etc
Asm gives another task: purge pack down ENTIRE d25
Keep in mind I am not allowed to delegate tasks per my store manager. Absolutely refuses to let me get help.
Lunch rolls up an i leave the store because my phone won't shut the fuck up and the paging on overhead are just my name every few minutes
Pull orders, do this do that
Come back from lunch people act like the store caught fire.
ASM do gems top priority
Call comes in from CXM, "need you to do gets for the Department supervisors who are not here"
I tell her "I'm the only ds here"
So she says: okay so do them all
Then when the end of the day comes 2 hours after I'm off i get yelled at for not getting everything done.
Next day rinse and repeat
I was literally looking into an rv to park out front for how little I was home
Thank God the torture is over
