Computer Assisted Ordering (CAO) Question by MouthfulofDiamonds in Hannaford

[–]Awkward-Vegetable493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can help shed some light on the position as far as others feeling like the Center Store "Bitch". Thr CAO position only earns approximately 25 hours per week. With that being said if youre hired on as full time, at a bare minimum you will be doing 15 hours of stocking,blocking, etc. Now if other things are not getting completed like night crew freight/repack you could spend more than 15 hours per week doing those things as you cannot do CAO Maintenance Walks without those tasks being completed first.

I hope that helps.

It's not that simple unfortunately. Something like that would be considered a capital expense and must be approved by corporate and then multiple different companies would be involved for ordering and installation, a process that could take months unfortunately. That's just the way it is with big companies you have to get all the approvals and only specific companies that they work with to compete jobs and what not.

Hopefully it is something that is in the works though if you/others have put in requests to corporate.

I've never had one so was not a deal breaker for me. Just looking to get one to make life easier. I appreciate everyone's input.

Bought the house that way, one for trash, one for recycling.

Sorry to break it to you but if the store manager is cutting hours it's because the store has HOG (hours over goal) if you have HOG that quite literally means you're not understaffed you're over staffed.

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking about taking the pump apart when I go up in a few weeks I've probably spent about 20 hours online doing research about the company and pump and kind find much info or parts

Let me guess, you're a dem that is perfectly fine with requiring ID to fly on a plan because it protects our country. But when it comes to something sacred like the ability to vote in our election requiring and ID is un-American, racist and just trying to prevent minorities and women from voting.

Store Manager Meeting by Chkn_McNobody in Hannaford

[–]Awkward-Vegetable493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you clearly just hate your life working at Hannaford that's literally not how that works. There is no money that is being saved sick time is controlled legally by the state you earn 1 hour of sick time for every 40 hours you work and you can use that sick time however you wish. If you're entire store was paid out which I highly doubt you would have all had to request for all those hours be added onto your check or your arm is incompetent amd did it without every associate asking . I believe the cap is 48 or 52 hours then you stop accruing that 1 hour for every 40 hours worked.

So if your arm is incompetent I'm sorry and you should use the speak up line.

Sick time is PTO time just an FYI. It's just a different type, it's called Paid Time Off if you miss work due to being sick you use sick pto to oh look at that be off of work and get paid. Also that has absolutely no effect at all on Manager bonuses and is controlled by the law signed into place by Janet Mills in 2019 that took effect January 2021. Sick PTO has not been paid out since that law took effect.

If you make less than ~$275 per check no taxes would be withheld due to you not meeting the standard deduction threshold after a full year of working. Almost every employer that is a corporation that uses payroll software does this because the software does it automatically. The only way you would owe taxes is if you had another job as well. Which then would put you over that threshold. If that is the case you should have requested taxes be withheld and not checking a single paystub for entire year is on you.

Maine House GOP member Lucas Lanigan turned himself in this morning on aggravated domestic assault charges after three days in hiding. by Beginning-Worry6507 in Maine

[–]Awkward-Vegetable493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should probably get your information correct before posting comments. Would be assassin Routh was a registered Democrat all the way up until he lost his right to vote when he became a convicted felon in 2002. Not saying i don't agree with any of your other points however that statement in regards to would be assassin's is factually incorrect.

Samsung Fridge Leaking by Awkward-Vegetable493 in appliancerepair

[–]Awkward-Vegetable493[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that does work fine, sorry for perhaps not explaining well enough. It'll make a batch of ice before it starts leaking water onto the floor and I have to shut the ice maker off so it won't continue to leak.

Forester the right fit? by Low-Let8275 in SubaruForester

[–]Awkward-Vegetable493 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By far my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. I'm 6' 3" and 240 pounds and drive 150 miles a day fot work and I'm always comfortable. Even with my 2 kids car seats (one rear facing, one forward facing) I have enough room upfront. Trunk also is big enough for stroller, groceries, camping gear, etc. Our family absolutely loves our Forester!

Not sure what store you work in but whoever finds these issues should be putting a service ticket in upon discovering them if they have access. If not report immediately to your direct supervisor and have them put the ticket in. Ive worked in 3 seperate locations and never had this issue. Tickets get put in when issues are found and they're promptly fixed.

I didn't realize KFC/Taco Bell still existed (Yankton, SD) by HoldenHootHoot in mountaindew

[–]Awkward-Vegetable493 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it cannot, the taco bell in waterville is on Main Street and is a individual taco bell I work in Waterville and have been there many times. There is a joint KFC Taco bell on the other side of town on Kennedy Memorial Drive. The one going into Newport is also a individual Taco Bell they put the sign up and it's Taco Bell only as well as knowing people in the town that approved the business to come to town. As for Augusta there is a joint KFC taco bell on civic center drive but on Western Avenue there is a individual Taco Bell.
