Ugh, Just got the news tonight that we're supposed to start the warm french bread program on Monday. I've never had to do the morning bake before and have no idea how to do the bread so this will be fun. Also... I don't know how we're supposed to have time do bake bread 3 times when a truck will be there around...

Just curious, but given we all know that cell phone usage by employees while on the clock is prohibited, i'm curious if there are any stories regarding cell phones, either placing calls or texting while on the clock. One of the stores in the area I had heard was confiscating all cell phones from employe...

CAP has go to be be the dumbest and biggest waste of time they've come up with for the bakery department. I barely had time to get my stuff done as it was. It's suppose to magically tell us exactly what we need to bake each day. Well, it doesn't work at all. First of all, we don't bake every day and it does...

In Columbus, OH we were told last week that night stock would be coming in at 11pm instead of 10pm like we have since the 80's. I just wondered if this was "enterprise wide" like our managers have said. Also, they want the processors to come in only 1 hour before the crew. Thoughts? Somethin...

I'm asking for a merit raise how long after the store manager okays it and sends it to HR does the raise show up on your check? Do you get retro pay from the time it was submitted? What happens to the hours you currently have towards your next raise? Do those count towards your raise after the merit incre...

With local 540 contract due to expire, I have taken an unconventional aproach to a particulat article in our contract. Seems that every contract I look into, has 6th day pay for everyone but our local part-timers. If there are any local 540 or Texas employees here, I ask that you contact the local and te...

how low are your store's osats? we're not reaching our goal and not really even close now. how often does your store want shoppers to do surveys? is it only the front end who does that? they want us to ask every shopper every day. it's too much.

So the zone mgr. visited our store and decided to join in the huddle. We had already been standing there for over 20 minutes listening to the co-mgr. rant on about OSAT, Key retailing, overtime, low sales, cao problems, etc. Now the Zone mgr. and the meat dept. mgr get into a long discussion about th...

They actually have plans to put in an elevator to the upstairs breakroom and offices when they do our remodel. I've heard the breakroom is suppose to be really nice. I just hope it's not too nice. People tend to tear things up, especially people on the stock crew.
