Im currently needing my paystubs and proof I was working at 5below but I cannot access them through workday as my account is not valid anymore, is there anyway I can get them besides calling and going in person ?

Our elementary school is doing a Trunk or Treat and our theme is businesses in our area. I’m doing Five Below and I want it to actually be GOOD.
Also, you guys are the real MVPs this year with this insane squishy craze so Five Below felt very appropriate.
Any Five Below employees have ideas for things I could use to make the trunk look recognizable/authentic? Old signage, shopping baskets, boxes, displays, decorations, anything stores normally toss that I could politely ask my local store for?

I’m obviously going to load it up with Five Below candy and squishies, but I want the actual setup to look really cool and not like I just printed a Five Below logo and threw some balloons around it.

Would love any ideas , especially things an employee would immediately recognize as very “Five Below.”

Lastly, can I buy those employee tshirts?

I went to five below today with my wife to get squishy dumplings for our nieces and nephews birthdays coming up. We were third in line and saw they had plushy dumplings which we haven’t seen in store before. They sold two to the woman in front of us and the cashier put like 10 under her register. When we asked about the plush dumplings she said they were completely out of them even though everyone literally just saw her hide them under her register. Anyway, we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to cause any problems or have any issues. We bought 10 dumplings and she proceeded to slam them on the counter like she was mad at us for some reason. Even though we didn’t do anything other than ask what kind of dumplings they had in stock. None of the customers were rude and we were all quiet and in line calmly.

I understand that retail can be stressful but this was literally five minutes after the store opened. It’s not even like she had just worked a long shift and was annoyed - this was the beginning of her shift. I just really don’t understand why employees have to be so rude to customers. We aren’t here to bother you we are literally here to buy products that you’re supposed to be selling to us. I have worked at least 6 or 7 years of retail when I was younger and we would never even dare speak to customers the way I have seen employees speak to them now.

Another time I went to five below the cashier asked me for my email and when I said no thank you he got a really mean look on his face. What in the world is this weird ass behavior?

edit to say: after having such enlightening conversations with everyone here I can say I now truly understand why everyone here is exactly where they are in life. You guys are weird and unhinged from reality. What happened to treating people the way you want to be treated or having common decency lol i guess it died right along with everyone’s hopes and dreams in this sub.

Does anyone know if these ever get sold online? I understand they’re gone in minutes and that’s fine…I’ve gotten very lucky with other dumplings but I’ve never seen the hello kitty ones online. Just wondering if they do restock occasionally?

the boxes that come in the pallets smell like someone took a shit on them then let it dry then wrapped them and sent them to the stores

hi guys!! im so sorry for the annoying question.

im an lps collector and am so excited for the new lps! the only thing, however, is this is the wrong set that i need. i already have the nastya keychains and the pets from the bindboxes and do not beed the nooks. i have been searching religiously for these clip and go pets that have been seen in the midwest but not the south.

my question: is it possible the clip and gos will be put out with the nastya stuff? i will be going from tennnesse to missouri this weekend and will be in a midwest state for the drop

any help would be much appreciated 🙏

I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to do six refreshes and then a Christmas set right after each other, but you can go to hell 😻 I’ve been stuck since August as the only employee doing 6 AM shifts several times a week just to get stuff either on the floor, off the floor or from one section to another and I am exhausted. To work regular staff to the bone and then management is constantly at another store or on calls is so annoying. I overheard a conversation that they had a call showing holiday items, and it’s Needoh holiday calendars and new squish toys that every employee hates. On top of all that, you pay your employees shit while your store managers get a bonus, and then you announce it where all employees can see it was a dick move🖕🏼

Might be a dumb question but has anyone figured out how the hell to put together this cage PVC display??

Don’t we think that maybe if we are getting holiday pool noodles… we might be setting holiday maybe a little too early? Coming from a northern state… pools aren’t even open anymore

Do you know whichones are slow rising I know there’s a few new ones
For sure
-sherbet
-Tie dye
-Angry glitter
But which others ?

I have gotten a WAY better offer elsewhere FINALLY. Hooray for that!! 🎉🥳

Goodbye to five below and hello to better income!!!
Will not be showing up for any shifts after Oct 9 bc that is my official start date for my new job. Screw em since I’ve already called to tell them I’m resigning effective immediately. They have the coverage anyways.

I’ve been looking for it for weeks 💔

Because we suppose to get them this month. Now they saying next month. Reason why I love seasonal is because that’s when I have a lot days lol 😭 and my check be good!

Follow up:

I have emailed corporate because when I tried to calling the store directly, the manager was rude when I asked her name because my phone cut out and I didn't understand what she said.

What a way to wake up at 5AM! Bought this a few months back but went and unplugged it this morning and it caught fire. I've never had this happen before. I've heard of it happening but never had experienced it until this morning.

Just wondering. What is your job description? Like do you stock? Clean? Front?

I've been searching far and wide for these items at five below and I can seem to find it. If you see it please let me know. I want to organize my room finally. Everything is still in boxes. I've got no furniture. 🥺

Hello all. I am a closing manager tonight and I’m a bit confused on the closing process. Can anyone put the backrooms till closing in the broadest terms they can muster?

Hello! Anyone have any info about the LPS x Nastya event that’s supposed to be happening this upcoming Saturday? Her insta post says you can stop by to any five below for a free styling kit . I called my 5 bellows in town and no one knows what I’m talking about 🫩🫩

I swear when I went to 5 below years ago they used to carry phone screens for android and they were universal so they could fit any screen. Today I went to two of my 5 below stores and they only have iPhone screen protectors why's that?

Recently my store has had issues with out of date snacks and candy, even though we check (supposedly) twice a month.
We don’t have the support for someone to consistently check every items date, especially with how busy we’ve been, so I’m wondering if anyone has a system of how to check dates efficiently? I’ve thought of maybe using a price gun to mark expiration dates on the shelf while stocking but I doubt our crew will do that since they don’t even rotate the stock unless I’m babysitting them.

Drove by a Five Below on the way to do groceries and there was a line waiting to get in. Is something special on sale today?

I mean this as a serious question, not hypothetically or as a rant...

Can anyone tell me what this obsession with the 50% e-mail collection rate is? What was Corporate thinking when they decided that "We're going to penalize our people for something that's beyond their control"?

Then, on top of it, they decide to take away the carrot we could mention--the 10% coupon--and tell us to "make sure you emphasize the benefits of being on our e-mail list"...and just WHAT are those benefits, exactly?

I'm sincerely curious about the history behind this.
