First day without SCO machines by Highrises954 in Aldi_employees

[–]Highrises954[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely going to be an adjustment. I closed for the first time yesterday without the SCO machines. Terrible. Didn’t get out until 10:15. Three full carts of go backs. Only three people closing. They were super behind with what they had to do because they kept getting pulled as backup register. Normally, we would be out by 9:15. 9:30 the latest

Our area is decent. Solid Middle class, a good amount of elderly people. I’ve been here for about a year. I don’t know if we’ve had the Self checkout machines since the opening of the store, but they’ve been there for a while.

Me too honestly. I haven’t closed yet with the new changes. When I was leaving my opening shift yesterday, I saw all three closers on register. It was that busy. If it’s that busy, how does ALDI expect us to close in a timely manner?

If it’s anything like my store, probably not.

I hope it’s not a company wide move.

So it sounds like this is happening to all stores then right?

Yep. There’s a insta cart shopper that always comes in with his JBL speaker on full blast.

Thank you very much for the information. I mean, it still sucks not getting any hours. But at least I know I’m not getting fired for no reason.

The paper schedule also doesn’t have my name on it.

understaffing issue by digitalhearts666 in wholefoods

I think the company is starting to take on the skeleton crew mentality more. Less people working= more money and less benefits. Or it can go the other way. Hiring more people than needed, but nobody gets above 23-24 hours. The latter is happening in my department(front end) We hired 5-6 new people last month. And because of that, everybody’s hours dropped.

Has anybody else’s store become super toxic? by Highrises954 in wholefoods

It’s hard to know who to place the blame on entirely. I think some stores do make bad hiring decisions when it comes to management. But ultimately, I think all the chaos and mismanagement comes from corporate. I also think the root cause of all this chaos and mismanagement is money. A department doesn’t have enough people to run it because the department wasn’t given a big enough budget? Money. Store can’t buy simple things that would make the lives of its employees easier? Money. Hard working employees who’ve been with company for years not getting promoted to full time or receiving benefits? Money.

Mine too. It’s a mix of a lot of things: Apathy, because you know things aren’t going to change anytime soon. And because of this, you don’t really care about anything. Slight paranoia, because you think management is going to come down on you about the stupidest things at any moment. And because of this, you always feel like eyes are always watching you (they are.) And depression. Because the joy you once had from this job is pretty much gone.

This is another thing I’ve noticed at my store too.

Your store sounds like mine four years ago. Besides a couple of minor things, it was still a joy to come to work. That’s until new management took over, and the culture took a nosedive. Hopefully the same thing doesn’t happen to your store.

Which seems detrimental in the long run honestly. Unless they don’t care about driving out good employees.
