Don't you love the new shirts we got to wear? And now we have signs saying new lower prices, wow fuel points!, and Faster checkout! The prices, that's debatable. Fuel points, nothing new there! But new faster checkout? How! We still don't have the hours and hardly anyone scheduled up front so it...

I work customer service center, 4 - 8hr shifts, and we are never given breaks. Our managers don't seem to think that we deserve them - after all we just stand around all day and do nothing! Of course we are called to give the rest of the front end their 15 - 30 minutes breaks. Somewhere the management, corpo...

Can someone tell me exactly what a "job step" in this company is? I looked on express hr because I noticed I had gotten a raise, and then I saw the job step thing. There are only 4 people in my department. My job step is 20, my next job step is 0030. I don't know what this means.

So yeahhhh, we were told by management today to make sure to put those tacky BoB stickers on *every* item at the bottom of a cart that isn't bagged. We've never done this before, what on Earth is the point even, when not a single customer gives a darn about a sticker of any sort unless they're 5. And this is i...

Wanna know how it goes? We're given a set amount of hours/dep./month to jockey around with. Think about it. If you had over fifty employees who's lives were in your hands and you had to make the call on how much food was going to go in their mouths, would you want that responsibility? So, what happens is I d...

I work with a woman who runs to the union anytime she doesn't approve of the hours I have or the job I'm scheduled to do. A co-worker was scheduled to work in the deli and she got pissed because she wasn't scheduled to work in the deli. So my supervisor accomodated her by scheduling her to work in the deli....

I was told by the end of the month that the Meat Department is going to have to start hanging their own tags in lunchmeat. It seems like they keep adding more and more stuff to our list of things to do, but claim those hours are in our hours. Well, I am going to the union meeting at the end of the month to see what...
