Anyone else's store having trouble hiring all of a sudden? Many people leaving, not many joining at mine. Hard to get people to work part-time and minimum wage, it seems. Anyone working more than a year is a dinosaur and everyone gets full time in the first few months if they serve their time. Sign of eco...

Do you ever walk into your store and wonder who everyone is? I swear every week there are new cashiers, new drug/gm employees, new guy in produce. Today I noticed a new courtesy clerk and a new guy in the pharmacy. One girl I can't figure out if she is a cashier or works in bakery. Or has a twin. Who know...
