So, folks, to get away from the normal frustrations and tiresome events during your shifts, what do you all normally do during your downtime? I work the afternoon/evening shift at the front end. It's when we have that afternoon rush, but things die down by about 9PM. After that, we just start shoutin...
I was reading the employee handbook, and it says you need management approval to bring cameras in the store. Does this include the parking lot? I have two security cameras built into my car, and I am wondering if need to let management know.

Freezeshop instead of sweatshop? I swear the air condition is on in our store during the winter. Customers complain, say they won't come back. Employees are wearing coats and layers of clothing just to work. Hey execs, turn up or on the heat down in Texas..it gets cold down here too idiots.
So there is this lazy ass cutter that I work with who I obviously cannot name. As anyone who has worked in the meat department would know, when you do trim you have to log it under the grinder log in the wic guns. Before it lets you finish logging your grinds it asks if the grinder was cleaned. To which you ans...
I asked my store manager if I could leave early due to the snow. I do not have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. She said I was "unbelievable" and implied she would write me up on my next shift. Can she do that?

So my manager mentioned something about this new E-Scheduling we're switching over to. Basically a computer sorts our your work hours based on available department hours and your availability.

I work in the front end so would my employer be the floor manager, the store manager, the person who hired me, or who? Because my floor manager is holding off a promotion but I'm not sure if its up to her.
I'm a stocker on the night crew working midnights, and the new store manager wants us to use the scan guns. The manager had a big shot to come in this past week and give us a 2 hour class on CAO training. I'm okay with scanning the BOH on backstock, but I don't know about ordering the Holes, is that really t...
Is it proper or even allowed for an assistant manager to be best buds with an employee? The reason I ask is because this employee may have had influence over the manager in an incident involving a demotion.
