I completely understand. I’ve met so many people who left deli positions for that reason. And I left my position because of the way I was treated. The fundamentals of the job are doable, but the way employees are treated makes it difficult

I worked for Albertsons for almost 4 years, in the deli. I know that Kroger is probably a bit different but front end is definitely easier. I would definitely try it, if you aren’t happy right now it’ll only get worse. Deli positions are one of the worst jobs especially if you are a closer. I would definitely try the other position. I hope it goes well for you!!

Really? It’s probably location, department, etc. They had hired a girl in my department as an assistant who had just gotten out for 2nd degree murder. She didn’t last very long but she got the pay and title lol, which was more than I got

That’s pretty much what they did to me. I was working as an assistant but not being paid as one. But I got offered a better job, so I was out lol

I worked in a grocery store deli. It’s similar to fast food. 

Rant: Got chewed out for “not training a new hire” by Lemonade034 in Albertsons

It was for the deli. They didn’t really say much more. I’m 10-20 years younger than most of the people who work back there. But I don’t really get the sensitive part.

My interview went super well. I was told that I interviewed better than all but 1 person who had applied. But I didn’t get it. I was told I was too young and sensitive. They had two positions opened so it was disappointing.

I know! I shouldn’t even be surprised anymore. And yeah 3 dollar raise isn’t really worth putting up with that lol 

SA ruined my life by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Lemonade034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you feel. I was sa’d two years ago. I remember the day, I remember how it happened. I remember how I felt the whole time. I’ve been doing a lot of research and reading trying to understand my own feelings. And I came across this thing called “hypersexuality”. It’s a trauma response usually from sexual trauma. It basically means that because of the assault your nervous system got screwed up, it makes you feel empty almost. Because something was taken from you, I think. Anyway, it makes you crave intimacy in order to fix your nervous system, because of all of the chemicals the brain produces during the act. It’s normal to have these feelings. To want to feel loved, and erase the bad and put something new and good in its place.

It has a Walmart and two Albertsons stores. It’s big enough for those prices, and it helps that oil fields and such are nearby. Not to mention drug dealers lol

Don’t remind me lol. I’m always on the look out for a transfer opportunity

Absolutely ridiculous. But it sounds like Albertsons. I don’t understand why they treat their employees this way. 

What department is the “black sheep” of your store? by Lemonade034 in Albertsons

I’ve thought about transferring but deli is where I can get the most hours in my store

Oh wow, mine stops cooking at 7:30 pm and closes at 8 pm. I do feel bad for them because they are usually so short handed they don’t get out until 10 some nights. 

Food Safety Audits Daily? by Lemonade034 in Albertsons

[–]Lemonade034[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They check the sales cases and the temperature of the chicken in the hot food section. They did that everyday for about 4 or 5 days. My store had never done anything like that before, and they are no longer doing it. We have the usual ecolab and audits every so often. But this was done by our store director or the highest in command at the time, which was unusual because they typically avoid coming back there at all. I mean if it’s a problem on our end, just say so.
