I'd log into esced and every day my schedule would be different. It got so bad I followed the first printed paper schedule. I'd log in and find they'd shave off hours or add on hours, or find shifts added/moved or completely different. At first this was infuriatingly frustrating it crossed a line when t...

If you wanted more hours as you so said you wanted -- you needed to get cashier trained for your role. Guess what dumb ass you got what you exactly signed up for.

We recently hired a new bagger on the front end a few months ago and they've been a constant problem ever since. First, some background on this person. They're sixteen. They're home-schooled.

Crazy woman claimed cashier hit "(my) elderly husband." Wrote out a note for (??) stating what (allegedly) happened. Small kids were in the area and witnessed this. At what point do you call the police to remove said customer from the store because they are being a liability to employees and other cus...

1. Customer left a bag of weed in the cart. Turned it in and manager called the cops. 2. Women FORGOT her BABY in the cart and started driving off-she got as far as the urgent center next door before she realized she forgot her child. (What if she drove off and I was left with a baby and mom didn't come back?!?...

Don't you love it when corporate keeps making up policies out of their rear ends, then hras--s staff about it and enforce it to an unethical level? Well...

Why do associates smell worse in the summer time? The heat really intensifies their stench even more. Do you all not wash? Two of the cashiers were literally turning green in the face cause the baggers smelled like rotten eggs fart and BO.
