Don't buy. They are not good at all. When I try something new, it will fall into one of four categories: 1. I liked it and will probably buy it again. 2. I ate it all but I won't buy it again. 3. I ate a little and threw the rest out. 4. Yuck! couldn't even swallow the first bite. These fell into category 3.

If you have their health insurance, they issue you with a card that has a set amount on it. I am not sure but I think it is around $100. Those people are a PITA to deal with and don't understand why their cards won't cover ALL their groceries. Do you have those cards coming thru your stores too?

So our store has been down three people for the past three damn months! The longer this continues we more irritated we get due to being down a staff member. They all went out for various reasons all randomly around the same damn time. The manager isn't staffing their areas and they're just vacant since t...

Our schedule has been frozen in time since the beginning of 2024 and has been a hard ship on the store. Sales adjust through the year and the schedule writer was just copy and pasting it. She managed to piss off all her coworkers by f'n up the schedule repeatedly, constant issues of shaving off employee h...

Some confusion made us file some stuff against the store. It is confirmed from the union that they can not punish you for a third party service failing the secret shop program. They also can not fire you over the secret shop program as it is a third party vendor. Do not sign any thing they put in front of yo...

I've worked for 11 years, spent my life working for this company. Worked my way up from just being a parcel at $7.25 an hour. 11 years later and now I'm an assistant. My store leader retires soon. But on the way my manager has taken every opportunity to throw me under the bus. While faking a caring attitude...

One sure way to piss off your store is to become the schedule writer and piss everyone off by giving them horrid schedules. Our store's schedule has been frozen in time for almost 1.5 years now and it is not conducive to retail adjusting for sales or growth. Personal schedules change and evolve over tim...

From customers being karens throwing a 2 yr old tantrum to staff. From employees not being well educated and this is probably the best job they'll ever have but their quality of work is hit or miss depending on the individual. From managers being toxic and generating crabby stories against or for you...

For 2 years we've been dealing with his lazy a$$ and we're all sick of him: not pulling his weight, plays disappearing acts, struggles to even to the primary functions of his job, quality of work reflects that, so scatter brained nothing gets done efficiently if at all. Since I've stopped covering his...

I work with 2 in my department that have ghost quit and it's super frustrating. It should not take checks from the office to make sure staff is working to get write ups. It should not take 2 yrs to fire someone who practices this because of union protection. Our floral lead has pretty much given up on her d...

Use your best judgement when voting but I highly urge people to vote no on the contract. Just because they reach a tentative agreement does not mean it is a good contract. I heard they're only giving us a $2 pay raise each year and it's not keeping up with inflation. Despite some additional language in th...
