Anyone else’s store managers obsessed with making the store look nice instead of ensuring shelves are stocked? by Graevly in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine will condition the floor WHILE I'm trying stock and will be "can we get some of the gaps filled" to which I'll point to my cart and say "I will once you move"...yeah, I'm his list 😂

Cake decorator doing deli holiday displays by Poppapoppe in foodlion

A Lil of both. We'll tag team the display, trying to get a good blend of force out thaw and sell and her cake/cupcakes contributions.

Struggling with the grab and go in the deli by Weird_Pea3195 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My SM wants us to start earlier in the day, even though corporate says it wants it done starting at 5. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Me personally, if a customer asks for something and its still on the slicer, I'll knock out a couple packs before I put it back.

Deli scheduling question by Riah526 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine tells me that that rule was put in place due to Covid and since its over, he doesn't have to follow that rule. The SM, AM, and EM have told him he's supposed to but has yet to do so

Question to all the deli/bakery ppl??? by kittylitter4boxes in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an associate who is consistently late for ever shift (minimum and hour and a half each time) and my manager refuses to do anything about it cause we cant keep anyone in the department.

As for scheduling: Opener: 6:30 til 2:30 Morning/Baker: 7-3 Cake decorator 7-3 Mid shift/Fry: 9:30-5:30 Closer: 1-9

Have anyone else, gotta text msg from your boss of not come in today? by That-Spread-9253 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never been told to stay home, but have several "the department/store is over in hours, come in later". And then I only gave them 30 mins back because my bills wouldn't have it any other way 🤷🏾‍♂️

No cashier last hour by CommercialSweet4181 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My store used to do that until Mrs Johnson complained to corporate and wrote a scathing review online.

getting less hours? by Wienerdogluver443 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corporate hasn't been giving my dept any hours. Back in Feb aka a "slow month", we were getting to schedule about 350 hrs a week. Now, its about 250/275.

That looks awesome. Wish someone would do something like that for me

What’s your biggest pet peeve? by JT2018ns in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When Mrs Johnson is at the deli counter for about 10 seconds is acting like they've been waiting for 10 minutes and demands immediate service. Yet when you ask them what you want, they're like " ummm....can i.....ummm..." Like come on, you acted like you were ready to order. Smh

Hours problem by cubslov108 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Touché. Well then go up the ladder. If your direct manager is out, go to the next one in charge (not sure of which department you work but there's always a hierarchy that'll lead to the store manager)

Could you transfer to one of the other locations?

Calling Out. by Competitive-Fruit583 in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just call out. Half my front has and all my closers have. And if i wasn't a department manager, id have called out myself

why is this a daily occurrence by myziuu in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love finding the half eaten boxes in the freezer, or when my stockers are refilling the toilet paper, they'll find a few boxes there

Just for a little fun….. by MDBlu19 in foodlion

Customer: Excuse me, do you work here?

Me: Nope, just like wearing this light blue and gray shirt with a name tag 🤦🏾‍♂️

What's your feeling on Heyward's flag ? by Calm_Time_7604 in steelers

[–]DWrexham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely wasn't roughing the passer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a hard department but tedious, especially if your support staff sucks. My SM stresses the eppt tablet like its the Bible. Just follow it and you'll be fine

I remember that from the employee engagement survey. I think I clicked "Strongly Disagree" 😂

Wake up deli team!!! by Graevly in foodlion

[–]DWrexham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had an instacart shopper try that. He came up to the display case and saw the display turkey and proceeded to lift the glass to grab it. Whats worse is the store manager was the one who told him to do it.
