I thought we were to get pay raises with this contract starting 3/24 but it says my pay rate is still the same as before. Does anyone know anything about this? Figured I'd ask here before I ask union rep
My shifts are pretty much open-ended and sometimes I have to work late afternoon/early evening. Of course this also means I have to deal with the lazy kids. Well one evening lazy kid comes in and tells me that I only need to worry about the corral furthest away from the lobby. I get there to discover that...

My store continuously schedules us for closing Midnight and opening the next morning at 6 a.m. When we complain, we are treated like there is something wrong with us and it is a big pain in the a__ __ to have to redo the schedule.

It seems like every night at least 6 or 7 times i will try to stock something and find the wrong item where I need to stock something. Does this happen at any other stores. I have talked to the department he...
How many night stockers (non-department heads) write orders? Out of the seven grocery orders that are transmitted at my store the department writes only two. Just wondering if is normal throughout the company. We don't have a qualified backup position in our contract jurisdiction. It seems like...
