So I'd like some honest feedback. Yesterday all department managers and lead clerks were summoned to the office for an hour-long lecture about how sorry we all are, how we are not sharing information with our associates, not scoring well on mystery shops, etc. We were basically told we would be writt...

Recently, a family member used these points and now i'm scared of losing my job. I called customer service to cancel the card, but when I logge...

Do you ever walk into your store and wonder who everyone is? I swear every week there are new cashiers, new drug/gm employees, new guy in produce. Today I noticed a new courtesy clerk and a new guy in the pharmacy. One girl I can't figure out if she is a cashier or works in bakery. Or has a twin. Who know...

Me and another guy were hired weeks apart at the same pay rate. I went full time at 2 years and have been full time for 3 years, while he stayed part time for 5 years. He now makes another $1.25 more than me doing less, working less, and less availability. I was penalized for going full time, while he's been t...

Does anyone know what the Legal Fund D is? Also, are there any repercussions of quitting the union? Like, would it be easier for them to fire you? They don't give me enough hours, and I'm tired of paying 9 dollars each check for it.

I know we get 10% and everything, but on average how long does it take for new hires to get it? Its been about three weeks since start date, and it has still remained elusive.
