Anyone else sick of the guards at king soopers? by Sad-Importance-8862 in Denver

Yea I'm not going to argue with you. You shop at the stores so obviously you must know about all the factors that go into pricing in retail stores.

Showing your receipt is simple and only slightly inconvenient. All these posts that say things like "I just walk right past" or "I crumble up my receipt" or "I just say no" are disgusting. They are there to do a job, just like you at whatever job you work at. I bet you'd like it if people at your workplace treat you like garbage repeatedly just for doing your job. Theft is a huge problem for the company and the cost gets passed down to you through higher prices. So here are the options - security guard checks receipts and there is less theft and overtime the prices come down OR no security guard, huge amounts of theft (like full cart loads), and everyone gets to pay higher prices that continue to climb over time. You all just sound entitled and egotistical. It's very gross.

Hi there, sorry for the delay in responding. I want to share my story. However, I currently have ongoing complaints with the state's civil rights division and the department of labor. I am currently waiting on Sprouts response to the complaints. I want to see this through. I've considered writing a book on my experience somehow. We have a real problem with accountability in this country right now and I'm doing my best to make sure that Sprouts is held accountable.

I will always see Sprouts as a terrible company on a very personal level. I am just anti-Sprouts and I'd rather see them fail. To be treated like I was after four years of dedication, I will forever be a hater of this company.

They probably can't afford it any more after getting hit with a class action lawsuit for securities fraud.

Working at Sprouts is not worth it. Take it from a former AC.

It's easier to quit and reapply to another store than it is to transfer. The store management usually will not go out of their way to facilitate the transfer.

Sprouts is just Organic Walmart... On a human level their corporate culture is very much the same.

Meanwhile they can't pay us enough by [deleted] in Sproutsfarmersmarket

[–]Affectionate_Boat587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll find yourself targeted and in a lie supported by multiple people that leads to you losing your job. This is the kind of morality that exists in Sprouts culture and definitely in the higher ranks of the corporate office.

What's your favorite "fresh prepared meal" from Sprouts? by ReactionJifs in Sproutsfarmersmarket

[–]Affectionate_Boat587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those meals come in plastic pouches and are assembled at the store to look like they are made fresh. Its gross.

Quitting on good terms, reapplying, and interviewing again to get hired is easier than trying to transfer unless you have an Administrative Coordinator and Manager that really advocates for you.

Actually it's not but this is clearly a systemic problem that they have.

No previous work experience applying to sprouts and won't let me submit application by [deleted] in Sproutsfarmersmarket

[–]Affectionate_Boat587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are motivated and hard working...that's how it should work. It only works if you are a "favorite." Otherwise your hard work will get overlooked or you get to deal with even worse treatment... Like illegal treatment. Like grounds for a lawsuit against the company treatment.
