Have they made any changes to the ELMS formula? I have noticed in the past year, that it is getting harder to make ELMS, specifically with items that have a large quantities (such as someone having 40 Kool-Aid packets). These orders used to bring my ELMS sky high. Now, I am lucky to get over 100%.

Can management really tell me that i need to cut my hair. I am a male and I wanted to grow my hair out to an average 80's power metal level or axl rose level. Also can they prevent me from growing out my beard to a zach galifinakis level, not a zz top just a zach galifinakis.

So management has cut our hours across the board so they can save labor and get that big Christmas bonus, yet they want everything done as if we had a full staff ? Everything has to look fresh and stocked so the corporate big wigs are impressed and they don't look bad. Then come January 2nd, they will cut...

I work in the front end as a cashier, and recently a lot of the other cashiers also have had our hours cut down from 30ish hours to at most 17 a week.And the worst part is, we have almost no baggers scheduled. Maybe it's the quevision we just started to use? Has this happened at anyone else's store?

Any other stores or divisions having an issue with Salvage (Stacks of Blue Chep Pallets, Cardboard Bales, etc)? Our store can be the last store on the trailer and the driver cannot take salvage because he has to go up north to the Kraft DC or to get a load of turkeys. I know this isn't the driver's fault, bu...
