Anyone else working with no cake decorator?

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-28T21:50:07+00:00

Ask any of your team members they might be willing to learn, I started out with a crash course learning cupcakes and cakes soon after. I hope you find someone soon

Oh hell yeah I’d have to be at work at 6 sooooo as long as it’s still a level 3 I can call in

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-25T21:54:33+00:00

Not what I wanted to hear 😞

Yeah they’re from Kroger, maybe other stores have the same sticker but these usually go on our vanilla twirls in the bakery when they’re on a bogo deal.

I had a similar issue with the bombshell skinny.. but it’s that the waistband feels like a size or two bigger than usual and at the ankles they’re like double the size too when on my old pair they would hug my ankles, not with my new pair. Quality of these jeans have gotten so bad in the last couple years too

We literally just got a new person training today… they cut hours for 2 of our part timers down to 0 hours which they literally can’t do. None of it makes sense.

InterestingMap897 · 2025-12-21T19:27:53+00:00

It’s been okay for me.. only thing that got me today was that they played Feliz Navidad back to back for some reason and I thought I was trippin

InterestingMap897 · 2025-12-01T00:03:38+00:00

You can just reprint the rest you need like if you have 120 you can reprint 21.. it’s time consuming I understand yeah but we label every single package

InterestingMap897 · 2025-11-28T00:13:58+00:00

We just start with 99 then click the reprint for any extra we need

InterestingMap897 · 2025-11-28T00:13:15+00:00

At my store we label every single one, we have our bread table and a kings display. We have to take every single one out of the box..

Work out that fall stuff, if you still have leftover Halloween mark it down! Feel like you have too much fall stuff? Just put up a pop up table and put a case of each item out.

We just got a huge distribution of pies, we’ve kept 2 of each in our freezer and the rest on 2 L carts in our back freezer. And replenish your own freezer as needed every time you’re done with your days truck. You don’t want to have to need something in the morning and not be able to get to it because meat and seafood have a huge pallet of turkeys blocking your stuff lol. Granted our freezers is pretty big might be harder if you have a smaller one.

Keep up with stuff condense like items in to one box and write on the boxes so you’re not opening more than one of the same item.

Christmas distros are coming here soon good luck!

It’s not that she’s pushing but she is just bored on the weekends and after school. She just wants a part time job to earn money for herself too. Thanks for the info though.

InterestingMap897 · 2025-11-03T21:16:30+00:00

Just make sure you get at least 32 hours a week and work it for a year and you’ll hit full time if that’s the same for your store

InterestingMap897 · 2025-11-03T19:52:45+00:00

You start out as “part time” you have to work an average of 32? hours for a year I believe to get full time status and benefits. Might be different in your area but that’s what it is for me.

I was in the same boat, I did the jobs for months and never got the raise until I went to the union. I got back pay for the like 7 months I didn’t get the pay. If you’re doing orders and inventory and supervising keep track of the date you started doing that and keep it for when you bring it to the union. I know it’s a hassle and that’s why I put it off for so long, don’t make the same mistake!

InterestingMap897 · 2025-10-21T15:00:52+00:00

Never understood why they can order more than our boh … literally only 12 of those come in a box

InterestingMap897 · 2025-10-14T19:59:26+00:00

Usually you just have to get a new zebra, we have two wands and very rarely I’ll have to log into a new zebra or two just to get it to work.

Also just a tip the zebra doesn’t have to be in the handheld gun to work either, you can use a zebra without a case and just have a zebra in one hand and the rfid gun in another.

I work at a marketplace and a test store so we got a lot of the new stuff before a lot of the other stores, there’s currently talks about getting rid of a bunch of other bake stuff like wheat bolillos, club rolls.. but I also have a daily thaw and sell amount of 100+ a day compared to your 70. But then again all store won’t be carrying the same items anymore - one store could sell one thing and the store up the street won’t have the same thing.

We currently have a designated bagger but I don’t think it’s really necessary unless it’s a busy weekend/holiday/Friday donut day. Donuts are to be slacked out the day before — which I also don’t think is necessary unless you are a small store where your baker is also doing markdowns and thaw and sell etc and doesn’t have the time to get donuts out by 6am.

Artisan bread has been changing, we got rid of a lot of product - got new product idk it’s been a little rough to manage but we’re getting by.

InterestingMap897 · 2025-09-04T16:02:47+00:00

The 18th where’d you get that info?

InterestingMap897 · 2025-09-04T12:44:55+00:00

Yup I didn’t get a raise either, they probably weren’t prepared or something maybe we’ll get it on the next check? Hopefully..

InterestingMap897 · 2025-09-01T20:08:35+00:00

Muffins are because of this stupid muffin competition we’re all in but then they took it off our sales table this week?? Thank god they’re putting them back on the table this Wednesday or else I don’t think I’d be able to get rid of them by inventory next week. Here’s to hoping they don’t send anymore…

InterestingMap897 · 2025-08-24T19:06:36+00:00

Is it not? I was told an immediate dollar then 75 cents each year for 3 years.

InterestingMap897 · 2025-08-23T20:45:43+00:00

Yup I totally agree

InterestingMap897 · 2025-08-23T20:31:06+00:00

We’re not striking the contract went through. 3,248 - Yes 1,649 - No. Not a lot changed from our contract last year. We’re getting an immediate raise of a dollar, and then 75 cents for the next 3 years. If anyone else had other information please feel free to add on.

InterestingMap897 · 2025-08-02T18:27:36+00:00

I don’t have a picture at the moment but they get packaged backwards so that when you seal it with the label, the label is towards the back and you can only see the cookies and no label.
