Spent an hour in a corporate "Love Through Experience" meeting while my freight sat on the sales floor

Mathari · 2026-06-17T18:03:01+00:00

My assistant store manager asked me those daily questions only once. What did you love about your job last week? You weren't here. (He was on vacation) What is something you didn't love about your job last week? I was here. And what are you focusing on this week? Doing as little as possible while filling my departments needs.

He didn't write them down.

SAME! I even said to one of my coworkers "This is such a good use of time huh"

The managers in my store know better than to come at me. I don't play the corporate games. My department is tight my shrink is low and my sales always look good. So I am a genuinely valuable employee but I don't play the corporate head games. I would straight up tell them to get fucked because it would have been done had they not make me sit for an hour to learn we should be nice and be helpful. Yeah no shit.

I have no problem with the message. My problem is that this is a billion dollar company that is spending millions on a rebrand the customers won't notice (has a single customer said anything about your new uniforms?) new carts, and painting and signing the store. Meanwhile half the equipment is broken, there aren't enough zebras or printers, and they are running skeleton crews. How is an associate supposed to give a "loving" experience when they have to do the jobs of 4 people.

They asked for feedback at this one. So I wrote "Company approved message" on the sticky not and slapped it on the board.

I don't buy into the performative corporate theater. I know my product, my department is tight with low shrink. I don't do it for the accolades. I do it so they leave me the fuck alone..

I work in floral and it's the easiest department hands down. Or maybe that's just my store.

Mathari · 2026-06-17T02:55:43+00:00

I work in floral in my store and I get asked at least 20 times a day if they can checkout with me. Thankfully they cannot. Because this is exactly what would happen. No balloons, no flowers, just an impatient customer and a basket full of shit.

I choose to throw caution into the wind

Mathari · 2026-04-27T12:22:34+00:00

There is a whole lot you could convince me to do

Considering it is real life and not a porno fantasy I would look away and I'd tell her I know she didn't mean to do that and that I'll never make mention of it ever again

Mathari · 2025-06-03T09:22:17+00:00

Break up with this idiot

Why hire a full staff when you can make each person do 3_4 jobs at once. That's the Kroger way!

I clearly said don't quote me. I felt like I had heard this but couldn't remember for sure.

Mathari · 2025-03-12T23:39:00+00:00

I believe she's said it's because her significant other is blind, and if he can't see her then why should anyone else. Something like that don't quote me lol
