This just happened a short time ago. . . I had just parked and had made maybe twenty strides to the front door when I hear "Hey---excuse me, pleeeeese?" Across the way is an obese young black female standing next to a brand new Cadilac Escolade. Here's the following dialog: Her: "I am NO...

If management is working fewer people than alotted hours for bonuses, then why can't the attitude of tired and stress workers reflect their bonus, I am sure customers do not like confronting with disgruntal workers.

So I heard this story that one time a third shifter came in for his shift one night and was all mad about something and was yelling at the manager and was pissed the whole night about something. The other workers just let him be the whole night. The mad guy was in charge of stocking all the canned goods and ju...

Came into work today after two days in a row off. When I went to take out the trash the dumpster door was locked. The letter posted on it stated that due to a company wide trash study and shrrink issues trash may only be taken out at certain times. If it needs taken out at different times a member of managem...

I catch the bus to work everyday and my supervisor has been scheduling me to work until closing time at 1:00 am in the morning. The buses stop running at 11:00 so I have been walking home by myself, which is extremely dangerous for woman even if it is a 15 minute walk. Is there anything that can be done about...

I am new to this site but need to voice how disappointing it is to see a company appear to do a good thing by hiring handicapped employees only to see them verbally harass and humiliate them. Shame on them, and shame on you who participate in the harassment or allow it to continue unchecked.

If an employee wants to transfer to another department or another store can management say no? I want to transfer out of the deli but have told I'm too valuable an employee. So in other words, I'm being penalized for being a good worker?

Anyway weve had a new register installed, que-vision, sent people for stupid meeting regarding key retailing that...

We just got a new deli manager after being with the last one for over 20 years. Her name is Jenny. She's only been here a few days and people are already having problems with her. She said we had too much backstock in our cooler and freezer. So she didn't put any orders on for several days. When the bac...

I just finished going through the program to become a bakery manager. I'm waiting to hear which store I am going to be sent to. However, I do have a question pertaining to my pay rate.

After soooo many years of hoping and praying that one of the lazy baggers I've had to put up with would be fired or quit or anything to happen so he wouldn't work at the store anymore, lo and behold! My wish has been finally granted. I couldn't be anymore happier.
