    We Went Viral on Facebook in a Bad Way 😢

    Open Market

    You know, the past 4 or 5 years, my job at Spot has been a challenge. But, I do everything I can to make my area look good with fresh food and a nice presentation. Today was no different. A few holes, but it looks great...

    No bikes built for over a year at my store.

    These comments are so sad to read. The bike issue is a microcosm of everything else wrong in the stores. I can't believe how bad this once proud company has gone downhill over the past few years. You can't just blame it on covid, either. I'm sure there are good stores out there, but they seem...

    No bikes built for over a year at my store.

    You know, I only post once a year to announce my annual anniversary at Spot. As I posted in December, I just passed my 23rd year. But I need to get this off my chest... We have not sold a bike at my store for over a year. Our bike wall has been empty, gathering dust, trash and debris over that...

    One more year?

    I see you're still around too, redeye. I'm hanging by a thread. New team lead starts on Sunday. I cant count how many I've had in 23 years. Three leads this year alone in my area.

    One more year?

    The biggest changes that I have seen from 1999 to 2022... 1). Online ordering & Fullfillment teams. 2). Eliminating the "closed" Backroom & Backroom team. 3). The unload process and pushing freight off of Uboats all day long. ...among numerous other changes. My biggest complaint would be...

    22 years and still breathing

    Right now, I'm staying for the medical and life insurance, mainly. Although I have Medicare, it's still cheaper working to keep medical insurance on my family right now. I got my $518 monthly Target pension in July, right after I turned 65. I get it the rest of my life. I bought a new car and...

    22 years and still breathing

    I was a team leader for 11 years. Stepped down 11 years ago and have worked in the food area for 8 years. I like working in Open Market. I have some autonomy and no one else can do my job (at least as well as me, IMO, of course.) Retirement is a possibility next year, we'll see.

    I'll pass my 22nd year at Spot at the end of the month. Still averaging 40 hours a week. How long can I go?

    20 Years Down, ?? More To Go

    Just passed my 20 years with Spot. Still averaging 40 hours a week(that's with vacation hours added sometimes) as a F&B TM. I work in Open Market (formerly called pfresh). My new SD said she couldn't guarantee 30 hours a week this year, but I don't see how they can do without this 'legend.' 😁😁😁
