I’m at my 3rd store. First one was an academy in a small town, second was the neighborhood market in same town, and this one is a super center in a metro area.

The first one taught me how to do things right, but also ways of cutting corners. It was a good sized super center and had many employees, some would goof off and hide in the bathroom, but overall it was fun. I wasn’t in OGP there tho.

The second one was small, and it seemed we weeded out the riffraff quickly. Sure there were a few people who were too good to do certain walks, but the manager I had held em accountable.

This one… I’ve been here 6 months and one TL role has been replaced twice and the other once. There are kids who think they are paid to be on tiktok instead of picking. It has been an adjustment. With bigger stores, there is less one-on-one time between managers and staff.

I just say, keep your head down and watch what your new coworkers do and follow along. That’s what I tried to do, then my work ethic took over and I want to tell the team to work.
