The Clocking In Chronicles: A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure (Except There's Only One Adventure)
Option 1: The Time Traveling Time Clock
You waltz into the store, ready to conquer the day. You approach the time clock, a relic from the Nixon era, and...it asks for a cassette tape? Fear not, intrepid adventurer! It's probably just a dusty sensor. Just blow on it real hard. If a cloud of dust bunnies erupts and a faint dial-up modem sound fills the air, congratulations! You've unlocked the time travel feature. Just don't be surprised if you end up working the graveyard shift during the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Option 2: The App-ocalypse
Dollar General is all about embracing the future, which apparently means relying on an app that holds the key to your paycheck (and your sanity). Downloaded the DG-Awesome app? Great! Now, just enter your super secret employee ID (written on a sticky note haphazardly stuck to the time clock) and a password you can't quite remember. If all goes well, you'll be greeted with a motivational message like "You're Dollar General's MVP... Mostly Valuable Person...probably."
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Option 3: The Manager Menagerie
Sometimes, the most reliable way to clock in is to find Brenda, the assistant manager who runs the store with the iron fist of a teddy bear. She'll likely be wrangling rogue shopping carts or explaining to a customer why the "Everything Must Go!" sale mysteriously excludes everything. Just give Brenda a big smile and a friendly "howdy," and she'll magically make your time card appear.
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
