r/menards

recently gms have been on us about hitting our 40 hours. does anyone else have this struggle at their store? is there a reason we HAVE to hit 40 hours a week? i've never had a job deduct money from my paycheck for not hitting 40 or making me work 40 hours. especially since we're paid hourly i don't understand the fuss about making sure we hit 40. also it seems kinda shady to be docking my paycheck because i didn't hit the 40 hours.

How many trucks do you guys get per day? We are constantly getting 4-6 trucks every Wednesday Thursday Friday. Is this typical? How do you guys manage all the work effectively? Usually I close with 1 other receiver and a manager and we are regularly at work till 1030 or 11 at a store that closes at 9

Anyone else's stores now have a decal on their unisex bathrooms saying for parents with children only? I feel like they could get in trouble with this with like ADA laws or something. I just think it's kinda weird....

Why don't Menards have AED's?

Is this New Old Stock from 1890?

Why is Menards delivery fee so high? I am building a deck and wanted to get the lumber delivered. Menards is new to my city, and I wanted to compare prices. I have the same items in my cart at HD and Menards, and the total before rebate is very similar. My totals are: HD $2,035.42, and Menards is $2,042.34. The shipping cost is drastic. HD is $79 and Menards is $917. Menards is 16 miles away, while HD is only 5 miles. Those 11 miles are not worth the $838 difference in delivery fees.

This is going to be a bit of a rant cause I feel like I’ve been completely screwed over for no good reason. As of last week I was told by my GM that since they don’t have any carryouts in the morning they will be moving me permanently with no real opportunity to come back to the yard. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement as I got a paycut and moved to one of the worse positions in the store and I’m doing everything on my own (mind you this is a extremely busy store). I haven’t done anything to warrant what to me feels like a punishment just because I’m newer. If you guys have any advice or tips on how I can move on from this would be appreciated.

does anyone know three river store in Missouri closed down for

I am recently into 3D printing, and I created a custom Menard's rebate receipt holder to help me track all of my rebate receipts before sending them in as a batch. The holder perfectly fits the typical Menard's rebate size. Thought I would share with the group in case anyone is interested in making one for themselves!

I just started working here like 3 weeks ago and i just got paid for the first time and i was assuming i would get paid for the all of the hours i work which was 99.55 and i only got paid $504???????? To top it all off hour HR lady left recently so we don’t have one 😭😭 what do i do?

Do y’all ever get tips? I know we technically aren’t allowed to accept them but i genuinely don’t care. I helped a lady put 6 bags of cow shit in her car and she gave me $5 🤗

Current or ex HR or anyone with a similar experience: how exactly would I go about filing a complaint against one of my GMs for retaliation? What does the fallout look like? Is the aware hotline a better option?

This may seem like a weird post, but I've been informed that literally NOBODY likes the carry-outs at my store (not the people but just anyone working the position or the title that it comes with), which I happen to work as. I can see this happening because it's usually younger kids applying then screwing around or maybe when other departments don't have carts, so it's easy to blame us when it's really busy and we're doing our best. Does your store have this bias? Have you heard of it? Looking to see if this is just my store lol.

so i applied to menard's in northern illinois. hoping i get the job. im applied for front end im just wondering what should i expect if i get the job.also this is my first job.

Does every store dislike like their receiving department ? Feels like theirs always something we aren’t doing right or not doing enough. I love what I do but sometimes dealing with departments makes me want to move on.

So I was an assistant manager at Menards for 1.5 nearly two years before that I was just a TM for 1.5 years. I quit because I was getting harassed by DM and my GMS didn’t care at all. They got annoyed because I wasn’t the only one reporting him because he was horrible to guests, horrible to other team members and NEVER did tasks on time. He is incredibly sexist and little homophobic. He was also constantly late. Just in one month he could have been fired 3 times over.

Anyways I still go in because I can get stuff cheaper there and I still have friends there. They are on their second replacement for me and he already wants to leave.
My old DM got another HORRIBLE 9block and even stated he surprised he wasn’t fired

The GMs fired a disabled assistant manager without any writes up because she forgot clock out for break one time but got it corrected.
They are current allowing managers to bully another disabled worker who suddenly became disabled because he suddenly started having seizures for unknown reason.

They have lost people left and right and I know people who have worked there for YEARS are planning to quit because of everything.

I got out and I am thankful I did.

EDIT: it is store 3057 I got a single comment asking the store
