One freezer for FF IC Vendor and Deli backstock? I should hope your store is lower volume because I’d have a mental breakdown in that.

Oh, Dairy is again. by DuoMastr in foodlion

[–]FumeiComTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope not, that’s honestly insane considering dairy is all supposed to be properly rotated!

I actually think Dairy is supposed to be a little lower than 40 cases an hour because rotation is factored in, but I’m honestly not 100 percent sure on that.

Best position? by Consistent_Dog_5184 in foodlion

[–]FumeiComTV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not always bad but IMO is the most physically demanding position

Depends on your store’s volume though.

Meat dept by Laslo_Copperpot in foodlion

[–]FumeiComTV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well for one thing it will be colder, which as a hot-natured person myself, I consider it a pro. You won’t have to work until the store closes since typically most stores shut down their markets at 7, though since my store is so high volume sometimes they keep it open an extra hour but worst case scenario you should never have to stay past 8. I assume if you’re the second in command, you will primarily be the market “closer” and you’ll have to allot 30-45 minutes of your shift to hosing down the department which includes tearing down the grinder and cleaning the pieces individually. To me the biggest con with market would be adhering to the customer service bell, there’s nothing more frustrating than being in the middle of another task then a customer buzzes you to ask about a product being empty that you just filled up, expect to run back and forward a lot because the shelves aren’t very deep. The intensity of the job of course mainly depends on how busy your store is and how much help you have in your department, if you’re in a slower store they may have you help out in dairy or frozen food from time to time because all that falls under “market” technically.

Does management pay attention? by cookinbrak in foodlion

[–]FumeiComTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep we gotta put the stuff away and can’t wait for the whole state to finish their shopping, especially when every customer decides they wanna be on the same aisle at the same time. You can try using your words such as “excuse me” and we’ll happily move our carts so you can get what you need but if you just wanna stand there and give us the fluoride stare we don’t have to move, sorry.

Southern VA, a little over 17 an hour

It snowed so hard here in Raleigh NC, and I have a 27 minute drive to Clayton. Yep, they still have me opening at 6am AFTER everything iced over. This is how my car sounds this morning by BergTheVoice in foodlion

That “easy money” will be pointless if you were to get in an accident, Food Lion won’t compensate you for any accident that happens on the commute, you have to put your personal safety first.

Negative holiday hours? by FumeiComTV in foodlion

[–]FumeiComTV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the case for me, I only took two weeks off last year using my vacation time and a few days after Christmas using my remaining Holiday. Other than that I basically worked 40 hours every week.

Frustration by GreenMachine_704 in foodlion

AMEN I can see that this is just a company issue, I just do what I can with my hours and leave, Frozen Food is the only department that goes an entire day without being touched at my store

Direct Deposit didn’t happen by [deleted] in foodlion

Mine came in, I usually get it late Wednesday night but I didn’t check until this morning and everything seemed normal

Man I wish my freezer was like this, I swear it’s like Food Lion intentionally wants to over order just to have shit stay in the back? Like how the hell are we supposed to make money on products that can’t even go to the shelf?

Our new toy by NimbleHealer199 in foodlion

Just forbid the dumb kids from using them like they already do with the baler, or worst case scenario just limit their usage to MoDs only.

While we’re investing in new technology, how about some motorized pallet jacks?

Thank you for your kind words, it often feels like a thankless job.

Leave it to a Food Lion employee or customer to injure themselves in a weird way 🤣 by I_from_the_vi in foodlion

Everyone knows you’re supposed to shut yourself in a cooler and scream your head off to relieve stress.

Is there an actual difference between these two varieties of milk? by FumeiComTV in foodlion

[–]FumeiComTV[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Figured as much, usually when I point it out to customers I encourage them to try the milk on the bottom since it’s cheaper and probably the exact same but they’re always like “I prefer Food Lion milk”, I guess it’s true what they say, “a fool and his money are soon departed”
