Does your store require management permission to use personal days? I have the flu and I had to get approval to use my personal days.

Our 6PM close went very smoothy. One of our managers was turning away people that wanted to come in literally at the last minute to shop. Announcements were made aprox 45 minutes before closing and every 15 minutes our FES would do a reminder. I swung by Publix when I got off (they closed at 7PM) and I left...

SM I guess handled it and now one of the ASL are now trying to bully me. From what another person told me and another manager Im great with as well. To...

We had an issue last Monday night where I got halfway thru the order then she tells me it's Instacart. Had to void out the whole damm thing. There needs to be a limit of ONE Instacart per order. At my old store we had a FULL TIME employee just doing such orders. These people hold up regular customers some tha...

On the old esced website, the sick pay equation would average 8 hrs for every 40 worked. On this new system it sucks. I average 32 hrs a week and I only gain about 1.25 hrs for every 8 hrs worked. It would take a year of not calling out once to accrue a full damn bank. I did call the union about this when we first s...

Can you file a grievance against a co-manager who is constantly telling your leader and back up leader you're not doing your job even though they both know you are?

Co-manager pulled 13 pallets out of the freezer. Two of them were that day's bakery order, which is actually retrieved and put away every day. The remaining 11 belonged to meat department. It's not holiday stuff like turkeys either. There's hardly any room for anything else. Stuff just keeps...

Finally some success in our store where the old manager began encouraging preferential scheduling. After numerous ethics reports for gender discrimination it was another nock against him and what got him fired in the long run. Unless an individual's restrictions generate a specific schedule, y...

I've repeatedly had to put my foot down about the rules about why we can't modify, change or "make up a price" on items. I've had to repeat crack down on repeat offenders who take advantage of mark downs to the extreme. I don't mind doing this from time to time but each time you come in is getting old and irri...

Ever since they rolled out esced no one at my store has been getting paid vacations and we frequently have to remind them to cash out vacation pay. If this happens again I will move forward with an official grievance. No I am not requesting vacations during black out periods. Yes I am inputting it 2+ mont...

We got Valentine candy in three weeks ago, before we even got through Christmas. Today the bakery got in 50 cases, give or take one or two, of Valentive cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and heart shaped cakes. Valentine's Day is 46 days away. That's nearly seven weeks away. It was so much better when w...

Company will not fire the employee for stealing. There's so much cameras within the store and employee has not been suspended and has not been fired. The older employee whom slap the accusations on an skinny employee for theft when the real theft is an heavy weight employee. Why the manager pretendi...

Our store can be flakey at posting the schedule in a timely manner. I will be calling the union next schedule if they don't get their acts together and publish the damn thing. What do you do in this scenario? A. Show up to work during your normal time frames if you work a repetitive schedule? or B. don't sho...

I'm tired of them taking advantage of me and started telling them no. They want good product at mark down prices because they're well cheap. They have begun to take it a step further and I have had to tell her "Talk to management about it." If it's genuinely mark downable I can do it but i can't give you fres...

All of them are felons by default. IDGAF the reason they want to be here. They've hurt the trucking industry on a huge scale. New to this forum. IDK how to post pictures of if its an option. Almost every time our store gets freight, it's not stacked well but falling over b/c of their sh** driving. I don't le...
