I'm so confused. My manager never filled me in and I'm a little lost. When do we get paid ?

So I went in for a job. Got the job. Did the drug test which I will pass easy. Now waiting on the background check. How long does it take or would it be easyer to go get it myself and give it to them? Ready to start working.

Okay, drinks and snacks have been banned from the registers. Cashiers absolutely cannot eat or drink at the register. Not water, not anything.

So, I have a manager who, from what I've heard, is three grievances away from getting fired. Everyone knows she'll act up and it'll happen eventually, but most of us are just getting tired of dealing with her constant demeaning attitude and incompetence. Seriously, the store would function so much b...

Has anyone ever been sent home early? Tonight the managers went around and asked if anyone could go home early, I told them I couldn't be done by 8 but I could get out of there by 8:30. I left at like 8:20 leaving one person to close up for the night. I was told sales were down and they needed to cut back on hours...

Here was a situation that happened to me today: After bagging someones order, I started walking to bag another lane because it was in a desperate state. While I was transitioning, this one lady with her re-usable bags asked me to help her with her order. After a little thought, I politely said that I co...
