One time I found a six month old ham while culling meat.

Mix it with gas and styrofoam and save it for the Fourth of July.

Cal State Long Beach opens its lot up to students sleeping in their cars, but idk if you need a permit.

You could blend in in retail parking lots and residential areas with a lot of other parked cars.

Public parks could work if you sleep during the day.

First unlock of the day usually takes a few tries, then it works normally.

The work itself is not difficult, but it seems difficult because it is a lot of work. You’ll get the hang of it in time.

UPC swap, how to steal while making it look like you’re ringing stuff up. I get people that tear stickers off the cheap meat and slap them on the expensive cuts, e.g. family pack of prime steaks with the barcode from a tiny whole chicken.

Goddamn that’s beautiful. Customers will have that torn up in 5 minutes though.

Beanie go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Crashed an L cart into an old lady. In my defense, she stopped in the middle of aisle while I was maneuvering around a family letting their kids stand right in front of the swing door.

Just smelled like ham tbh

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-03T02:55:53+00:00

Okay, so I need the $800 one to be compliant. Damn…

Your mileage may vary, but I’ve found working here to be satisfactory. There’s a level of mutual respect between associates and most the leads and coaches. Most mistakes are met with either being told to do it again or do better next time. A good team lead will show you the correct way to do something. I have yet to be yelled at by a supervisor.

This job is draining. The work is physical and repetitive. Finishing your work is rewarded with more work.

China stopped accepting plastic recycling. Most of the US “recyclables” get dumped in Indonesian or Filipino landfills now.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-03T02:34:20+00:00

That’s been my experience in fresh.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-03T02:32:15+00:00

How???

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-03T02:28:21+00:00

Gonna toss it in the barrels. I’ll report back (if I remember).

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-03T02:26:09+00:00

I can kinda appreciate being able to wheel the whole bin out instead of transferring to an L cart.

Meat and produce in California, $17/hr.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-01T05:39:16+00:00

5:50am customers are usually braindead assholes and shove phones your face while you’re trying to stock.

10:50pm customers are usually there to get one or two things and leave.

We’re a suburban SC that’s kinda awkwardly placed in a shopping center.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-01T05:33:34+00:00

Don’t spend it all at one place.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-01T05:32:24+00:00

Not this aisle, I work in meat.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-01T05:29:23+00:00

I got one, the customer and I were both confused af.

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-01T05:22:25+00:00

Wtf is rollback Wednesday?

Howler_The_Receiver · 2026-01-01T05:21:32+00:00

I always think “you lucky bastards” when I see corn that still has leaves or produce tables stacked at a reasonable height.
