    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.

    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...

    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.' 😁😁😁

    Archived I'm still at Spot after 19 years.

    Hey everyone. This is my first post in a long time, but I'm still hanging on getting 35-40 hours a week in Market. My store just went thru an STL change. So far, NO good. The store is a big mess on the floor and in the backroom. No one zones at night anymore. Just had a software update...no...

    Archived Just passed my 15 year anniversary. Yes everyone, Spikey is still around....

    HI guys. I just passed my 15 year anniversary with Spot. I didn't think I would make it because they put me on a six month corrective action two weeks before my service date, but I survived. Just five more months to go and hopefully I'm off probation. Yeah, some guest complained to the LOD...

    Archived Set a sales record on BF...what do I know?

    After starting a new thread yesterday (Black Friday was a "bust" at my store so far...) moaning about how slow my store was at 4am, we picked up again at 10am and stayed busy until close (that's what I was told when I went in last night). Our store was budgeted to do $730,000 (not the $750,000...

    Archived Black Friday was a "bust" at my store so far...

    So much for the projected sales increase at my store for BF this year. We were busy at midnight, of course, with lines all around the store for about four hours. At 4am the lines were down to nothing and I got to leave one hour early at 4:30am. We were projected to do $750,000 on BF, but...

    Archived Vacation Hours-Can you use them up to your average hours if you are scheduled less?

    O.K. I have been with the company for 12 years. I have opened 5 new stores and worked at two other existing stores. At every other store, except the one I am at now, you could use your accumulated Vacation/Personal Hours to make up the difference if you were scheduled less than your average...

    Archived I wonder if...

    Hey all! I wonder if the original thebreakroom.org is down because of the June 17 union vote coming up in Queens, NY. I hate to be "grouchy" but it wouldn't surprise me if the old site was forced to shut down until the vote is over. Am I being paranoid? Of course! What do you all think...?
