My last day was two weeks ago and I am much happier in a higher paying position elsewhere. All I can say is, keep looking - it took 13 interviews and 9 tests before this job opened up for me. Never did I know at this time last year I'd be in a new place; wished for it every day, but didn't...

It's not just pda's in our store... three tier carts and handbaskets are in short supply. When Steritech walks in everyone scrambles to get product out of shopping carts in the backroom. Once daily (at least) guests will ask for handbaskets that no longer exist. Don't get me started on the...

Our entire freezer/dairy team was sent home early because none of the pda's scanned and the mydevice batteries were drained. Fourth quarter will be painful.

This is something I cannot stress enough. Ask them early, and ask often, "Hey - how am I doing?" or "is there something I can do to demonstrate my leadership" etc etc. They will NOT hand it to you.

I get called up at least three times a day for a minimum of a half hour each. Not to mention the huddles (aka doing gobacks) three times a day. That's at least three hours taken away from the department's task list (and that's only one team member). I guess I'm not flexible enough for this...

I was told straight up by my SrTL that there are no hours for training, to just show them the "bare essentials". Alright, pickup a walkie and a myDevice... go! It's definitely sink or swim for the new hires at my store.

Sit in my car and smoke. <~~antisocial

Are you a new team member?

I highly suggest NOT laying on that damn thing. I've seen many new team members get chewed out by our overnight ETL for doing that. If it's cold outside, he'll make you wait ten minutes and then chew you out afterwards. Buzz it once, wait three minutes, then buzz again. They are usually...

Hard lesson learned, myself. QFT.

Our freezer/dairy team runs from 5 - 7 team members. They will spend their entire shift unloading the freezer/dairy truck, pushing those items to the floor, and backstocking any remaining items into the dairy cooler or freezer. It's a tough job and very busy. The plus side is that they are...

Pears, apples, organic bagged apples, pears, organic apples, bagged apples, sliced apples, pears, crunchpak apples, blah blah blah.. We are drowning over here. I don't care what kind of deal the buyers made, we are donating the hell out of this crap. And black grapes.

My store has an aisle of christmas crap in between two aisles of halloween crap. I'm not sure the reasoning on this and I'm probably giving my location away... but, meh.

Oh damn....

Sometimes we'll come across management gems that actually address the problems that they have with you, but most of the time you'll meet inexperienced people who don't have the time or inclination to shape you into the superstar that you can be, or they're just lazy bastards that simply want you...

The cone of shame....

You have no idea how many times I've done this for various reasons in all departments... Guest phone is too crackly to understand... old lady won't stop talking... demanding bakery guest wants too many details for a cake order... accent too thick to comprehend... the list goes on and on.

I had an interview last week where I could NOT stop myself from calling the customer a "guest". I kept getting frustrated with myself and would correct myself out loud, when saying "guest" instead of customer. Interviewer probably thought I was nuts.

You'd think after two years things would have "normalized"... but with the new CEO and current situation they've all accepted this as normal, and don't give us the "credit card hack" excuse anymore. I'm in Cali and the minimum wage has raised to $9 an hour.. but Wally world has already bumped...

No, they like to blame the credit card hack that happened in 2013.
