Whoever does the stores around here......................................SUCK!


There are 2 local stores around here that I have kept an eye on and so far whoever is doing them is a hack. They dont get touched till mid day at best.

I would like to know who handles the ohio stores.

It's probably not entirely they're fault the way the contract is written
They are not to be touched until the national weather service says
There is more than 2 inches per storm unless the manager calls in an
Work order
Leaves an open end for a lawsuit but Cvs has taken the responsibility
For any slip and falls till 2 inches is reached. Trying to save money by
Gambeling I guess

I was awarded the contracts for 2 CVS'S in Plymouth MA.
After considering the contracts further, I called the management company who was handleing them and gave them over to a buddy of mine.
HE STILL HASNT BEEN PAID!

i agree with grnstripes.
we got paid very quickly, i think once or twice i had a invoice past 30 days, but the AP department said it was misplaced and they sent a check quickly..
with the portal they have that you submit payments, its a little tricky keeping track of which storms you have been paid for on our end...but you just have to have double checking in place, only way i cought those 2 late

Does anyone know who has the CT ones for this season? Hopefully not the same company as last season. They were TERRIBLE!

oh...
Well here is the thing.. If the stores Look horrible.. and they are complaining about payment, it goes hand in hand...
i can assure you, if lipinski isnt getting the service they want, they will can your ass, and that goes for the other management companies as well.
last year, our local rite aids, switches from USM to another company,, hires smucks with pickup trucks and a load of sand in the back, they were sanding the parking lot by hand...
lets just say, they lasted 1 storm. and we got called back by..
sometimes the part timers trying to turn full time are the ones screawing this industry..

CVS also only allows salt once per storm, unless the manager calls it in. So my sites are usually clear, but not always to the pavement.

It might not be as much the management company that handles them as much as the CVS.. we've been told before and even upon dealing with any CVSs, that they're very particular, cough - cheap - cough... so no presalts, only salt upon called in approvals etc.... hey as long as they write that into the contract somehow so that when there is a slip and fall because our truck was out at 5am salting the neighboring sites, CVS calls in at 8am when they open for salt, slip and fall at 830 before we get there... sorry , can't blame us.

Thats what i meant.. so rite aids and walgreens are generally spotless before CVS realizes they need to call in another salt or service. Its like a half ass account, not zero tolerance, almost like your mom and pop little parking lot but theyre a big company.
