I work in a union (UCFW3000) represented store and for the first time in 5.5 years, I caused a loss to the company. Somehow, not sure how, I accidentally typed $320 cash instead of card, and then did their card (supposed to be flipped) and store was shorted $316.25. Suspended pending today. I have never had a loss to the company, even if $50, and have had no large or concerning disciplinary action aside. I am well received and considered reliable in my store. I’ve worked 30 hours a week, never call out sick, never start beef, and don’t make mistakes (until now). My store manager told me the news - but she said “off the record” there is a chance to do a Last Chance Agreement, my 1st...

So I work at a grocery store, and this is the only bedding for non traditional pets that we have! You might be wondering why I’m making such a big deal out of this, and that’s because to many people going to the grocery store for pet supplies might be more convenient and easier than going to the pet store. The reason why pine bedding is so bad for hamsters is because pine releases volatile organic compounds like phenols and aromatic hydrocarbons. These phenols and acidic fumes can damage a hamster’s respiratory system and cause wheezing or sneezing, as well as potentially causing skin irritation or liver damage. While kiln dried pine beddings like this one reduce this risk, it is onl...

A globally renowned self-made entrepreneur, in words of encouragement to young people, said this: "The world is vast, and there is much work to be done." Later, he was wanted by the police for embezzlement, but he traveled around the world, evading arrest. ​A police officer who was unable to arrest him for a long time explained the difficulties of police work to young people, saying this: "The world is vast, and there are many places to hide." ​Hearing this, my mother, a grocery store cashier, said: "Well, 70% of the Earth is ocean, so the land where people can live is not as vast as you might think."

I’ve only been able to drink for the past four years now and I’ve only ever had fruity stuff (ie. margaritas, smirnoff ice and mikes hard lemonade), the only non fruit drink I’ve had is a moscow mule, my go to for when I want a “real” drink, ya know? The only reason I got turned on to them was because I asked the people at the bar next to me what I should get. I am looking for recommendations for my mom and I since neither of us are big drinkers in the first place (she does not like the taste of alcohol at all and I don’t mind it all that much) I want to preface that I cannot have any nut beers but am willing to try others. I should also say that we don’t like wine. I wanna g...

Alright so I got this job in a grocery store about 3 months ago right before I started college. I told them I was flexible at the time so I’ve been working 5 days a week. I have to wake up at 4:30 am and I’m starting to **** this more and more everyday, I thought it would be manageable but it really just ***** balancing this with college and other stuff. On top of that I asked my boss if I could lessen my days the next month and he just said “oh I don’t know we’ll see” with a weird face. I don’t wanna be the guy that quits 3 months in but this job is eating me alive. I could try to stick it out a month or 2 longer but I don’t know my college workload is only going to get more...

Alright, fellow delivery gremlins… what restaurants have spiritually broken you? What places make you close the app, stare into the void, and wonder why you ever signed up for this? Here are my personal hellzones: **Popeyes: Public Enemy #1** I swear Popeyes is powered by a time distortion field. It does not matter if I am in my neighborhood, another city, or accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in Narnia. Every Popeyes is a guaranteed 20 minute wait. Minimum. And the worst part, the tips are always terrible. Why is it always a $2.75 payout for chicken that takes longer to cook than a Thanksgiving turkey? Popeyes is permanently on my No-No List. Instant decline. Be gone. *...

So the new pro-shopper system rolled out recently in my area with stricter criteria of 97% Original Items found. It started out descent worked well ant first and it was excluding items. But lately I am getting a lot of out of stock items that stores remove the item tag so I don’t have an empty shelf and tag to take a pic of. Also if the deli is closed I can’t get it excluded. Plus I had a Sprouts rotisserie chicken that counted against me in both Original and Total items ratings. They were all out. I took a picture of an empty chicken warmer but there wasn't any tag or label so it counted against me. I had a grocery order of like 30 items for Albertsons earlier today. The notes ...

I wanted to get on here and warn you all of something that never crossed my mind until what happened to me 3 months ago. I worked for a fairly big corporate grocery store here in the states, and had been there for roughly a year. I worked the first few months in produce, before having to be switched over to a store clerk after a co-worker came back from maternity leave. I would not say I love the job, but it's definitely the best one I've had so far. Me and my boss are pretty chill, or at least I think so. He's a millennial, and is just trying to be cool. He lets me take smoke breaks, listen to music when we aren't having a rush of customers, and even buy some snacks and ...

So today I went to the grocery store to get myself a treat as ive been working really hard this week. I decided to get a pint of Ben and Jerrys ice cream. After I went to the grocery store I drove around for probably 30 minutes or so listening to music, but I had my heat on so my ice cream melted a bit. I went to eat it a bit ago and I noticed the topping had melted and was kinda clumped together in the middle. So now I'm worried that it melted a lot more than I thought. I ate about half the pint before googling if its okay to eat refrozen ice cream like that and got mixed reviews, but mostly websites reporting its not safe. Now I'm worried it'll make me sick. It felt cold but...

Sorry for the title. I didn’t know how to convey what I’d like to say but I’ll be concise in my needs - I have an almost 2 year toddler. - we rarely driver if it’s just the 3 of us. (I am 10-15 min walk from target, local grocery store chain, Whole Foods etc. Wife takes a 10 min bus to work and I wfh. Toddler in 10 min walk from daycare, even closer is her eventual elementary. Only place I routinely drive is Costco.). Since moving to the Midwest I’ve driven 15k miles in 5 years. Most of it is to O’Hare (120 miles) and longer trips - grandparents from either side visit and spend 3-4 months a year. We drive a lot when they’re here. - current car is a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek with 7...

Hi all! I'm sure it's the story of a lot of people's lives right now but my rent will be increasing in the new year so I'm looking for way to cut costs without lowering my cats' quality of life. I was walking past a local butcher today and saw they had 'pet mince' advertised at like $3 AUD a kilo, which is miles cheaper than buying canned food from a grocery store. I currently feed my cats a mixture of wet and dry Whiskas food. What nutrients, if any, would they be missing out on if I switched their wet Whiskas food to pet mince instead? (Keeping them on dry food at the same time, they wouldn't be moving to a strictly pet mince only diet) My cats a...

Long story cut short… There was this Bengali-Telugu woman who divorced her husband and went to Chennai in 80’s in search of a new life with her daughter. After a lot of struggles being a single mother, she raised her daughter with all pride. This daughter was so innocent that she always bowed her head down while walking to her college or even a grocery store. There was this guy who was hardly 5’7 or something, dusky complexion, usually how Tamil people look. He started wooing her. Stopping her everywhere causing all havoc in her life. He used to follow her, ride the same bus, watch her from the other end, and make sure she was safe and sound. Some days he often wrote her letters in T...

Can say, the taste is fine but my janky apartment doesnt always have the coldest water so i gotta zoot that boot down from room temp at least. Otherwise, i dont recognize any of my previous hassles. I can say that working at a grocery store and from my outdoorsian experiences, water weighs a lot. There is always someone on the other end who has to LUG all them jugs of water. Idk if anything in the store weighs as much as a full pallet of water. And that water needs replenished every coupleeeeeee of hours omgggggg you water homies? You water HOGS

Looking to buy some for pretzels- don’t think I’ll be able to find it at most grocery stores. Thanks in advance!

Personally, I think ESTL just needs major investments to roads, in education, healthcare, and a decent grocery store wouldn't hurt (preferably a Whole Foods).

This isn't a customer complaint, it's more a PSA to hopefully reach the right people! Not sure if anyone else has posted about it yet, but the local Kroger grocery stores (Fry's in Arizona) just got added to Doordash in my area in, I wanna say, the past month or two? So, it looks like Doordash uses the same VIP customer account for all its Dashers so the end-customer gets the discounts. Sure, makes sense. But, that means millions of potential shoppers taking an order at a Kroger/Fry's/Albertson's/etc every day with this account. Law of Averages means that 80-90+% of Kroger's varied shelf stock gets at least one purchased by this VIP account. # Every time one ...

I believe the lie detector has determined that to be a lie. 💁‍♀️

The summer sun was just starting to set by the time Gustavo made it home, the light bursting between the trees as he carried his kill. Crouching as he slowly stepped over the tripwires, the fishing wire shimmering in the orange light. The white-tail he had strapped to his back was much lighter after being gutted, a trick his papá had claimed their ancestors used when they needed to bring their kills home quickly. Though where these ancestors were from was never specified.  Gustavo scanned the area around the cabin with a hand on his hip holster, the tripwires didn’t do much good if he wasn’t around to hear the bells. Though, things seemed safe enough for now. Gustavo and the white-ta...
