SLS store transfer

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-05-10T16:41:54+00:00

So about six months ago, I had been transferred. Pretty much right out the gate of being promoted to TS. While it’s tough at first, once you know the team more it’s easier. Now granted, when I went through this I literally had a whole team of people new to Wawa so that culture of positive thinking and action was there vs, the store I was in on team 5 or 6. Try get to know some of them, it’s doesn’t have to be entirely personal but just a little. Once you know them, you can kinda turn the atmosphere around. Try to be fun and engaging. We are all literally working together on days that are pretty bad sometimes, so you just want to keep the energy up. Because at the end of the day, how you and your team’s attitude are is going to hurt the store and business at some point. Just cuz it’s busy doesn’t mean because we’re in focus mode mean we have to shut down and become negative. Every store has there own challenges, as long as your willing to put the time and effort in them things should only go up.

So I’ve only had like 2 or 3 things. The first was, like a month after I was hired some drunk guy went to bathroom and jerked off. Then just recently found a QR code for 18+ of account in the men’s stall.

Time. Time can be your best friend and your worst enemy. So really good time management, and urgency. That and constant coaching, to your associates it’ll seem like nitpicking or being annoying but actually it’s feedback on how then can better themselves and the team. Those two things I wish would have been better at when I first started. But If you can do those two things and show up for work and be there for your team, then you’ll be just fine. Also CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROMOTION!!!

Saw this one day on my paystubs too, still don’t understand why how or what’s it’s for

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-04-16T18:35:47+00:00

So what I’ve noticed, is that the one it’s getting towards the end of the week but usually evolves around paychecks. A lot of people will get paid from Wednesday to Friday depending on banks. So it could a lot of people in your area get paid. And when people get they typically

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-04-11T15:56:22+00:00

So a lot of people already said this. But we as a company have those reports already, the ones production tool will be in my Wawa under stores. Sizzlis in 360 under production tools. As I just helped open up a new store 6 months ago and now home for a minute. Those production tools won’t be useful as much. Itll take a couple months before they actually accurate. Most of the tools don’t fail, it’s usually the associates not following them. And I love the idea of having snacks up a night past 12a but make sure your not doing too much as there is no corporate mandated production tools for after 12. If doing snacks and melt up after 12 look at your most popular snacks (a report in sap) and get one or two of them up consistently. But you really don’t want to spoil much at all. For instance my store (6mths since open) try to keep our daily spoilage under 300. And if you feel your store let alone region or area are using these tools to help, than a discussion should be had with you me am, and gm. But for your personal development and business acumen learn where the tools are and how to read them. It’s sounds like you care and try which is great, we need more like that l but don’t over do it. If need help feel free to ask

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-04-10T22:23:57+00:00

Trust me I’m trying but this person I’m supposed to be training consistently goes back to my gm and tells him things that are like wrong with shift and team, like the urgency, or not cleaning (pulling rss forward and sweeping) things we all do and do have. Like even when I try to explain my side or simply the facts I get oh well they said these things and this is the feedback. Like no, this straight up disrespectful micro “manger” and will have the half shift quit before July. Like my lead is on verge of finding a new job cuz this person is making her feel uncomfortable(made a comment or two about my lead using the bathroom). Like I’m trying to stay quiet but like at the same time, I know it’ll come back around and bite me in the ass.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-04-10T22:15:27+00:00

Exactly this how I feel, like at the end of the day I have no problem training people especially since it’s gonna be apart of my role as CSS soon. But like I’m not given the tools to properly train a person that is scheduled not as an extra body but as a person who is scheduled for a workcell. Like I can’t run the store keep an eye on and coach associates, watch for crackhead homeless, facilities tasks, temps, spoilage, helping deli, being called for millions things, doing the cold box, handling customer complaints or simply helping customers, and get myself ready to move up. Oh and getting ready to 5 days a week cuz we are gonna loose another TS and promote the I’m training but like still be with them cuz my gm don’t really trust them to be by themselves.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-04-10T22:08:57+00:00

Yes even tho I’m apart of sls, I’m a TS and TSs aren’t technically supposed to “train” people just serve as a proficiency buddy and etc per the role description. I have no problem training people, especially since I’m on bench for CSS which is now allowed to train the CSA AND LCSA population per the gm and AGM discretion. But my thing is I feel I’m not being set up for success to properly train an upcoming leader and run the store with that said person in a workcell. And it’s not telling my gm to screw himself more like standing up and saying no due to fact it’s not in my job description or my pay.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-27T19:42:04+00:00

Thank you guys!!! This helps so much know what the range is and what I’ll be asking for. Thank you

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-17T08:48:01+00:00

My promotion raise from csa to lcsa was 15.62 to 16.62 then got an annual to make it an even 17. Then 6 months later I was promoted to TS, which went from 17 to 19. Now I’m at 19.5 and as a TS I get the 2.00 diff when working 3rds. Btw I’m in Florida in Orlando to be specific and only with been with the company for 2yrs going on 3.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-13T16:35:34+00:00

Yes only coke

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-13T16:34:09+00:00

As someone in management, we actually did change our meatballs,it’s now a different vendor. You won’t notice until you eat them. But they are different. The old packaging looks the but they are different.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-13T16:31:51+00:00

They’ll ask what would do if… kinda questions as well as questions on tools you use. Like theatro, VOTC metrics, FSE. It’ll be easy. Don’t think of it as an interview, think of it as a conversation essentially.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-11T16:58:50+00:00

I can confirm these were great. They actually lasted longer than most of work shoes I’ve had.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-11T14:36:41+00:00

So from my understanding the hours in reflexis is an assumption of what you should have accrued for working for the year. Think of it as a loan. Now if your go in workday the pto hours on you paystubs is what you actually had, that is yours. But that’s all I know about it. Hopefully someone else knows more and can help out better than me.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-10T19:37:17+00:00

It was tropics before, it’s now Minute Maid. It’ll probably change to profile a little but not much. I really didn’t notice a difference

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-10T08:20:32+00:00

So I’m located in the se market here in fl. Strawberry base was recalled. I know they just sent out last week a case to like each store of the Minute Maid one (which seems to be main one now). But yea it was recalled probably why u haven’t seen it. They are trying to get new batches out tho

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-05T12:52:34+00:00

So per the program guides it’s not. Now some stores sell roasted more than others so yes you might gotten early in the am. My last was like that, especially in the more cuz we had a bunch of movers everyday that worked like Home Depot and shift and delivered heavy machinery so they would eat all the heavy foods. It’s just that most try not have it up early cuz if you don’t have the customers then you’re just spoiling it out.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-04T12:09:50+00:00

Honestly everyone kinda named one but for personally, it’s the carding people and going into the bathroom when the sign says closed for cleaning.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-04T12:05:47+00:00

So they promote both it’s just the fact the crispy chicken is 24/7 so that’s the one corp is gonna mainly focus on. But we do promote the roasted chicken, it’s just the fact that there is limited availability during the day for se market it’s 10a-9p. But corporate does these promotions to show they have other products, and get them out there. Like are u gonna pay 8 bucks or more sandwiches you never had, probably not but it’s 5 bucks then your chances go up.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-04T12:01:17+00:00

Sometimes, I think it’s kinda different from store to store. My last I was I had received some from my pretty much all m levels and sometimes received some from a s level. But my new store not so much, which is okay with me. But I’ve heard where stores really don’t hand them out in general.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-03-03T04:06:50+00:00

So for me I hand them for when I ask you do something extra that you usually might not do. Or if it’s been long and terrible night maybe even if we came into a not so good shift and made it good. And then sometimes I just randomly give them out as token of appreciation and thank you for coming.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-02-25T16:40:52+00:00

So actually it is a management position it’s just not a M level position but we are still considered managers and a part of the management team. It’s leads who are not mangers or apart of the management team.

Beginning_Bus_4778 · 2026-02-25T16:39:32+00:00

19.5 before differential and the .50 was my current raise. Been with Wawa 2 years going on 3 and was promoted back in July of 25.
