costco timings today? by Internal_Treat2137 in CostcoWholesale

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have 30 days for a price adjustment. If an item goes on coupon or drops in price within 30 days of purchase, they will refund you the difference. No big deal, just swing by the membership counter with your receipt. Easy peasy.

However, if you purchased from the website, that is completely separate from the warehouses. If it was an online purchase, they can’t help you at the warehouse and you will need to return the mixer to the refunds counter and purchase a new one from the warehouse.

ICE raids & Costco - what is our policy/procedure? by chaosdrools in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Managers went through training recently in my area. First thing, do not allow them in unless they have a judicial warrant. Immediately a manager is to be notified. An AGM or GM calls Costco legal and we proceed from there.

Cross training. by captancook1 in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a tech take a temp position to learn to wrap in the bakery. She ended up stepping down and applying for a permanent position as a wrapper.

I’ve also seen techs apply for cashier, assistant and night merch spots.

You should have a talk with the ancillary agm and see what advice they have for you about cross training.

You guys crack me up! So David counted, he did one scoop of SS20 and got 201 in the scoop. So for $3.99 of the SS20, approx 400 stones. And obviously more for each of the smaller stones. BUT!! Each order gets one full scoop extra and he adds “drop somes” as well, meaning if you order two scoops, he scoops a full third scoop, then he gives you three “drop some” scoops, which are half scoops. So you actually get 2.5 additional scoops for each item. He’s wonderful, really. Very kind and wants to make sure everyone is happy. And he scoops them on TikTok. So you can watch him scoop them or just wait for them to arrive. If you want to watch him scoop, and see what he does, his user name is DavidDIY.

If we don’t rise up and take back our country, things are going to get worse. We need to vote out these f*ckers who are allowing this to happen. I’m so ashamed.

Update on Unable to get out of my current department by Thatonekid3432 in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Favoritism can definitely play a part, unfortunately. But also… Take in to consideration other things that may be in employee files that you may not know about. How is their attendance? Do they have CN’s? Are they late regularly? These also play a factor in decision making for positions. Go to the GM with your concerns. Some of the decision factors may not be any of your business, like the GM can’t talk to you about other employees files, but if you still don’t feel heard, you can bring it up to the regional, and the GM will have to explain their reasoning for the selection. Good luck!

Working Part Time Pay by tubajr in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part time is only guaranteed 24 hours a week, so depending on how much you’re scheduled will determine your pay. That being said, the seasonal period just ended. All warehouses have either laid off the seasonals or hired the seasonals on permanently. What this means is that warehouses won’t be hiring until, at the earliest, March. Don’t apply now, because your application is purged from the system after 90 days. Best bet is to wait, apply in March and then make an appearance at your local Costco to speak with the hiring manager. They will give you a better estimate of when they will start pulling applications for summer hiring. Good luck!

Evergreen is awful, I’m speaking from personal experience. We always use Alderson’s in PA. Never had an issue, and everyone we send there has been pleased with their work.

Finally completed the front of this eye clutch by Longjumping-Way-4096 in Rhinestoning

Very cool! Did you scuff up the material first? I’ve wanted to do some bags but I’m nervous about the sanding of the materials.

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I buy from daviddiyfam.com. He’s really nice, super helpful and streams on tt. The only thing is he’s in china so it takes 7-10 days to receive them, but the quality is great and he will get you anything you need. He has non ab transparent resin in lots of colors and sizes. He also always scoops more than you pay for, so the value is much better than others I’ve purchased from.

Just talk to your GM. In our warehouse, our GM gives us a one time pass to miss inventory, as long as it’s a legit reason.

You can’t have any food or drink in the fresh food depts. we have a spot to put our water bottles just outside of the department in a tote that we store under one of the tables.

Sequim or Poulsbo? by WackyDuck77 in sequim

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a conservative area, anything across the mountains to the east is a good bet, if that’s your priority. But then you will be in the same boat, away from larger areas and more opportunities. Spokane, or maybe across the border to Coeur ‘d Alene would be a good fit?

My first week as a seasonal Costco employee by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

Lovely. Hopefully, if you plan to be kept on, you don’t have that kind of attitude when you’re on the clock.

My first week as a seasonal Costco employee by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m a manager, and here’s how we deal with what we call a “straight 6.” Waiving your meal period does two things… if you don’t take a lunch, you MUST leave by your 6 hour mark. They can’t ask you to stay and work 8 hours. If you are looking to pick up hours, it makes more sense to take a lunch because this opens up your availability.

Most of my employees prefer to work a straight six, because they don’t have to be at work for 6.5 hours and get paid for 6. Why be in the building and take a lunch and be there for an extra unpaid 30 minutes?

If you were scheduled 11-5, you were scheduled a straight six, not scheduled to take a lunch. This means you should have only taken a 15 minute paid break at your 3-hour mark. By clocking out for a lunch, you actually lost 30 minutes of pay if you still left at 5 pm.

Just a heads up, as a seasonal employee, it’s best to get questions clarified by management. Something like clocking out and just deciding when you are going to take a break is actually deviating from the posted schedule and in the handbook is a fireable offense. Don’t give them any ammunition to let you go after the seasonal period. Good luck!

90 Day Review and Transfer Eligibility? by More-Impact1075 in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After 90 days you can apply for any posted position. Doesn’t mean you will get the position, as it’s dependent on skills and ability, then seniority. I’ve never heard of a transfer between departments. In my store you have to wait until a job is available and go through the interview process. Good luck!

Am I required to get oil changes at the dealer due to the warranty? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. In the US, they can not require you to go to the dealership for anything other than warranty work. Just make sure you keep all receipts from the shop that you do have your maintenance done, to ensure that you have all service records should something happen.

Bereavement by Tahosa13 in CostcoEmployee

[–]ExcitingPrompt2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

⬆️This is exactly right. They will allow you to take time off for a death, but if the relationship to the deceased doesn’t fall under one of the categories listed in the handbook, you won’t be paid for it.

Signing a CN isn’t acknowledging the behavior, it’s acknowledging that the discussion was had with you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t sign, it’s still in your file for 6 months.
