I'm fed up with the unfairness at this company. We have two staff out in my department and both are claiming "colds or flues". Good f* I am so fed up with the unfairness at this company. If I have to work sick, you should too. Not only does this show what side of the equation you stand on it shows to your team me...

Anyone know who the genetic retard that made this change? BLACK? So Fing cheap you can see through the new shirts they give you? The stupid apron/SLAVE collar you're "supposed" to wear that is uncomfortable and feels like you're being choked by a really weak midget for hours? Seriously, WTF was that g...

Yesterday I was in a hurry to leave after work because I had somewhere to be; plus i was tired from organizing the backroom to get ready for a SUPER LARGE order that was coming in for today. I was in the line yesterday with a couple items and a 12pk beer I was getting. This woman bitching about moneybin her a...

I usually don't mind being a team player, my coworker says she doesn't lie and her speach says that but her actions also dictate other wise. More than once she's asked to change or alter shifts. I usually don't mind but she's always asking last minute. More than once she's said "I have a major medical app...

It happened before I got there (my shift started at 5PM)-turns out someone p****d her off. She said "I am done." Shut her register off, grabbed her things and walked OUT.

Please show up to work and stop calling out repeatedly. Thank you. When you call out repeatedly it puts the work load on your coworkers and it becomes clear that you dont need the job all that badly. Please quit if you are going to call out for more than 20% of your shifts. That works out to one call out a we...

Our 6PM close went very smoothy. One of our managers was turning away people that wanted to come in literally at the last minute to shop. Announcements were made aprox 45 minutes before closing and every 15 minutes our FES would do a reminder. I swung by Publix when I got off (they closed at 7PM) and I left...

SM I guess handled it and now one of the ASL are now trying to bully me. From what another person told me and another manager Im great with as well. To...

We had an issue last Monday night where I got halfway thru the order then she tells me it's Instacart. Had to void out the whole damm thing. There needs to be a limit of ONE Instacart per order. At my old store we had a FULL TIME employee just doing such orders. These people hold up regular customers some tha...

On the old esced website, the sick pay equation would average 8 hrs for every 40 worked. On this new system it sucks. I average 32 hrs a week and I only gain about 1.25 hrs for every 8 hrs worked. It would take a year of not calling out once to accrue a full damn bank. I did call the union about this when we first s...

Can you file a grievance against a co-manager who is constantly telling your leader and back up leader you're not doing your job even though they both know you are?

Co-manager pulled 13 pallets out of the freezer. Two of them were that day's bakery order, which is actually retrieved and put away every day. The remaining 11 belonged to meat department. It's not holiday stuff like turkeys either. There's hardly any room for anything else. Stuff just keeps...

Finally some success in our store where the old manager began encouraging preferential scheduling. After numerous ethics reports for gender discrimination it was another nock against him and what got him fired in the long run. Unless an individual's restrictions generate a specific schedule, y...

I've repeatedly had to put my foot down about the rules about why we can't modify, change or "make up a price" on items. I've had to repeat crack down on repeat offenders who take advantage of mark downs to the extreme. I don't mind doing this from time to time but each time you come in is getting old and irri...

Ever since they rolled out esced no one at my store has been getting paid vacations and we frequently have to remind them to cash out vacation pay. If this happens again I will move forward with an official grievance. No I am not requesting vacations during black out periods. Yes I am inputting it 2+ mont...

We got Valentine candy in three weeks ago, before we even got through Christmas. Today the bakery got in 50 cases, give or take one or two, of Valentive cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and heart shaped cakes. Valentine's Day is 46 days away. That's nearly seven weeks away. It was so much better when w...
