I handed my keys and over ride card in tonite with a note saying I want to "step down" from supervising. It's not really stepping down since you're not getting paid any more to do it but I didn't know how else to put it. Things are out of control, unorganized and just plain crappy for me to do it for even one more day. I can not run the front end with two cashiers at 6pm on a Friday night. One cashier being in the express lane and then a big lane open. I call and call and beg for help to come up and I get ignored. I end up having to put the two baggers I have in check lanes and that leaves me to run around like a mad woman trying to bag groceries, help cashiers, help customers, run the office, clean up spills and on and on and freaking on. I end up running out of carts because my baggers are STILL in lanes. Employees are mad because their breaks are behind. The manager wants to know why I'm not opening any more lanes and to "find someone NOW to open up!" Yet, she offers NO help at all. The FEM is going to hit the roof when she finds out and God help us all if she decides to gripe at me about it.
Sorry, just needed to vent and now that I won't be supervising any more, I could care less about q vision.
good for you oboro! just be sure to hold your ground. they do not need to know why you decided to step down - just tell them for 'personal reasons' and leave it at that. never tell them the truth like you mentioned in your post ( i hope you didnt blab that all over the place - sometimes thats easy to do). be prepared for the fall-out. you did nothing wrong - remember that. you mearly stepped down from a position they offered to you and you prefer to work a position that you once had and that numerous other people do currently so why cant you. repercussions from your decision is not an option and might board on the line of illegalty. do not be intimidated or allow harrassment. get the union steward invloved if necessary. this is YOU and YOUR JOB and YOUR LIFE for YOUR FAMILY. dont get ****ed over by them.
good luck

Thanks Dude! I appreciate that :) No one in that store intimidates me lol but at the time I wrote the note I felt like if the FEM decided she was going to gripe at about me stepping down I probably would have punched her in the throat. Ive calmed down and realize (clearly LOL) that I really dont want to go to jail over this for assault ;) This is just a job and thats ALL it is. ManI feel like Im new person already haha

Have you ever thought about leaving the front end completely? Of course with Que vision once you've worked on the front end you'll probably never get away from it completely unless you go to another store.

Some of you won't like my answer to this and it may sound sexist as hell....but that's because it is....
No. I would not leave the front end because (to me) deli/bakery, produce and Drug GM are just dirty places to work. Not that the departments themselves are dirty, but the work is. I would NEVER EVER go to the meat dept. because it would make me throw up and I consider that boy work right along with stocking. I could transfer to pharmacy but they seem like uppity b*tches so that's a no too.

If you ever had days that seem to drag on and on and you want to move to a department where the day goes by more quickly I suggest you check out the bakery department. Even if you know nothing about baking or decorating cakes there's still plenty for you to do, and you can be taught to do things you never thought you could do.
Of course, you guys all KNEW this was coming, right? When you live your life with no surprises, and you have time and experience on your side, you can never be astonished at the depths people will go to make the most insane ideas presentable. You can dress a pot up all you want, but to me, it's still the same ole crock!
