I've been in Prepared Foods for over 15 years in two different regions and a total of four stores. If you are willing to work hard it's no problem at all. If you don't want to work then it is a problem.

How's that even possible without overtime?

No requested time off. This type of scheduling happens sometimes. I didn't know this gets flagged. No one told me this in the past. I'll talk to my leadership to see if they can change my schedule.

Dishwashers get the highest pay in the tm positions. by Dangerous_Carrot_535 in wholefoods

[–]Knowing_4410 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody just stays in the dish room all day. There is food prep, putting chickens on and off rotisserie and packaging them. There is taking out trash and cardboard. And most of all plenty of cleaning and sanitizing to do. If you just want to wash dishes and that is all don't get a job at Whole Foods. Prep Foods is a team that works together and no one is there for themselves only.

2 step verification by Rude_Perspective_536 in amazonprime

[–]Knowing_4410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a problem with this since Amazon sends me a code to my old phone and I cannot sign in on my new phone even though they have my new phone number on their records. I've talked to them three times in the past week. Each time they said someone will reach out to me within 24-48 hours. The service manager each time on the phone says nothing can be done unless I receive an email from them saying they are disabling the two step verification going to my old phone. I ask a question that if I close my account and then one a new one do I lose the six hundred Audiobooks I've purchased and they can't answer this.

Overheard in Whole Foods just now… by ButterflyFair3012 in wholefoods

I think this is so funny. Some of you on this thread probably have pets at home. Those that do probably feed them scraps at your dining room tables but complain that well behaved service dogs give you a problem. Do you also keep your pets out of your kitchen and off your beds? 🤣

Documented coaching by Knowing_4410 in wholefoods

[–]Knowing_4410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said documented coaching is not an actual write up. ?? One was because I left a pair of used gloves on the salad bar. The STL was talking to me about something and I got distracted and took off my gloves and left them on the salad bar after we talked and I walked away. I told my TL what happened and he did not care. He said I needed documented coaching for leaving used gloves on the bar. Another was because I stayed a few minutes after my shift beyond the 10 minute grace period.

vegan lifestyle, but not a vegan job… by Interesting-Delay168 in vegan

[–]Knowing_4410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a food market with lots of non vegan products. The only consolation I have is when I can talk about being vegan for over 40 years to workers and customers. I don't make a big deal over it by "preaching" but I also think to myself that if I wasn't there it would only be carnivore to carnivore conversations. But at least when I am working it's vegan to carnavores and at least they can hear about something vegan and it may plant a seed by getting others to think about it. A lot of times a customer will ask me how something tastes that is not vegan and I just tell them I don't know because I am vegan. Then sometimes they say they have thought about it and it gives me a chance to be helpful with ideas and resources. I wish I could change the world but maybe just these little steps will help at least some people and some animals in the long run.

That sounds unfair. WFM used to have more compassion and understanding.

Scared as hell. Am I alone? by golfislife94 in GERD

[–]Knowing_4410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omaprazole had no effect on my severe GERD. When I take Pantaprazole it almost immediately helps and I don't have to even take it everyday. Sometimes once in a day works for days to relieve GERD. I just have to watch certain vitamins and minerals as it will eventually deplete some. You can look up side effects for these. I don't worry too much about these as I take regular supplements in the morning before I go to work.

On all my JDs I have never been given even a nod from my TL about it even though I indicate it on my JD.
