is this happening at other stores or just mine? We get something almost everyday that the mexicans have helped themselves to. This is clearly shrink under the "warehouse damage" that they don't like us to use. One day they'd all eaten slim jims and left the empty wrappers all over the pa...

Just curious, but do department heads recieve bonuses for meeting goals ie Key Retailing, Shrink, Sales etc. or just a little more pay and lots more headaches? Looking at trying to move up and I tell you it doesnt look like a lot of incentive here in Central div. Thanks for any replies =)

Don't ever work in the deli department at L-346. You won't like the manager. Today she was telling different people they couldn't take their vacations because they happened to fall during senior week. You can't eliminate weeks from the vacation schedule just because they happen to be holiday we...

I'm waiting for someone to pick up one of these manager special Durex Pleasure Packs we've had sitting around for a while. I know I coudn't buy them in confidence. But the marked down lube sells like hot cakes!!

Well last night in the deli we only had three people scheduled for the whole day, not counting the chicken person. I come in at 1 and find out that the chicken person had to leave early because she got sick and I had to do chicken for the rest of what would have been the chicken shift. But did they even try t...

We got a year meeting, I don't know if you got one guys. The bottom line was we cost too much. I can't believe my 7.25$/h is too much. That is so sad, cause all the floor supervisor and manager are just taking alof of houres doing nothing but talking to each other, sometime 3 at the same time. They give away to...

Is anyone familiar with the term "limited" and how it used to give hours? Ive worked in the deli for 10yrs at about 30-32 hours a week for most of those years. 3 out of 7 days I am available whenever they need me, the other 4 I am only available for evening hours. All of a sudden now they are throwin...

What time does the seafood counter close at your store? My manager is making me pull it at 8 (instead of 7:30 or 7:45), and I have to leave at 9 (god forbid I stay over an extra 15 minutes ). I don't know how the hell she expects me to pull all the fish, shovel out the ice, dump the ice, shovel in new ice, cover the...

So to make a really long story short, i work in the meat dept. The way we treat eachother could be called locker room banter. Slappin asses, stuff like that. (yea i know, sexual harasment and what not) but thats not the issue. Its a regular thing for us to goof off, none of us ever complain, we have a good tim...

Anyone have these things? Everyone in the store had to go to one of a series of group meetings with the manager. Basically, it was just handing out papers and begging for us to give them better scores on the "Associate 1st Survey."
