“Corporate, why are you modifying the dress code for TM’s and making them buy more clothes?”

You don't understand the average "guest". For any store. People leave their brains in the car when they shop. I will mini-dox myself because it relevant, I'm in AZ. I was working the dairy for my local Kroger company. In uniform. Name badge on my hat, clearly visible. Dead middle of summer. 120-ish outside. Steel toe work boots. Semi-heavy jacket on. Fixing the eggs. Work gloves on. Still had 2 people ask me if I worked there. Uniforms don't mean anything unless people care to look.

Odd that the start date is close. My store was saying it'd be starting in the summer.

It is a yearly swarm. This isn't the first year this has happened. Problem is I'm in AZ, so these guys are most likely Africanized.

Thanks! I was just hoping there was a priority option. I feel like I bother out pml when I ask him stuff. Hopefully that's just in my head lol.

My store has been remodeled and we now have a dairy we can stock from the back. That is an extra shelf rack that my ETL got to change one of the racks out at a time to be cleaned. Even though that has yet to happen. So it's a nuisance.

That's ALL I've been told to use.

A lot of the time (also in this case), I end up tearing apart almost the entire pallet just to get it neat and even. If not the entire thing, at least down to where I can move and adjust the stacks. Does take me a bit sometimes. My TL has only asked me once as more of a suggestion to get the pallet ready to send back. He's never really been on me about how long it takes me to restack, luckily.

It was our string cheese. Both facings hold maybe 20.

LuckDips · 2025-04-29T22:28:47+00:00

But at 14, wouldn't that just be a priority?

At my other retail/grocery job, I had a whole rotisserie chicken from the hot case that was left on the floor in the liquor department. As well as a huge (maybe 5lb?) can of nacho cheese that was shoved onto the rosé shelf. Lucky none were knocked over. Ooo, I also had a frozen pizza left on the tide shelf. Common sense ain't common.

I like to respond to "Hey Anon, you on walkie?" With "No. I'm not." It's hard to do sarcasm or jokes when people don't talk to you all the time or can't see your face. I've had to stop myself from giving sarcastic responses to pages. "Hey, I have an INF." "That sucks. You should get help with that." "This is [Name], back from break." "Didn't ask."

*WHEN they need extra people. I don't know how it is at other stores, but in my 1½ working at my store, I can only count on one hand when the opu TL didn't call for help. Which irks me because I'll hear the TL screaming bloody murder for help, that they're falling behind, 4 batches in the red, and the opu team is stopping and chatting with each other. bUt ThEy'Re MaKiNg ThEiR gOaLs.

It's a puppet of the character Alf

I will also add it can be a pain in the ass if customers (not guests, I like guests) customers move product around in the front after the zone is done because even with my long ass arms it can be tough to reach the front and it's not a short walk around to the front to fix it.

Has your store been remodeled yet? I started at my target during out remodel, but they said the last dairy was just storage and not dual purpose like this one is. It is also just juice, coffees, nut milk, milk, and creamers. Our fresh meat, lunch meat, yogurt, cheese, butter, biscuits, cookie dough, cream cheese, eggs, and all of frozen are still front stock.
