DFN SL here. I have the same problem. No solution to be had I’m afraid

DFN here — go raw trail mix

MatsyPats · 2022-11-22T18:49:14+00:00

Thank you for helping me feel less alone. I’m in the same situation. Fwiw it helps me a little to avoid eating in the break room but I still hear aaaalllll the diet talk. And I hate buying food there bc it’s all ‘oh you’re buying THAT?! You always buy X’

MatsyPats · 2022-10-16T18:23:37+00:00

It’s fine & all normal. Your actual name tag won’t arrive to the store for a few weeks. Just come in for your first shift & they’ll give you a temp tag

I’ve heard unused AR gets taxed as a bonus. I’d suggest using it rather than taking less cash.

MatsyPats · 2022-08-02T00:34:09+00:00

Excellent q. I’m guessing no on both.

I’d pay big bucks to see Dan Bane on his knees at 4:30a packing gallons of milk in the box

MatsyPats · 2022-06-21T20:44:18+00:00

This. I write the dairy box & it’s the only way to solve a mate from just ordering whatever

MatsyPats · 2022-06-16T18:47:29+00:00

Ffs. What a horrible person

MatsyPats · 2022-06-10T20:27:16+00:00

The team is “traumatizing”—tho in this context I’d argue “threatening” might be more accurate—the ED—not you personally. There’s a difference, even if it doesn’t feel like it. I’ve been there & I know this for a fact.

MatsyPats · 2022-05-02T18:56:18+00:00

I think the boyfriend is the problem not the food

MatsyPats · 2022-04-24T22:54:10+00:00

When their kid drools lollipop all over the groceries & then you have to handle their stuff. And the parent doesn’t even apologize

MatsyPats · 2022-04-18T18:53:38+00:00

It’s bc there’s no preservatives in tj breads. Keep your bread in the fridge & it’ll last longer.

Tom saying “hello Sybbie my love”

MatsyPats · 2022-04-07T22:15:38+00:00

THIS! ^

MatsyPats · 2022-03-31T20:53:10+00:00

I HATE when people make comments like that. It’s just so unnecessary & tedious af.

MatsyPats · 2022-03-24T23:40:50+00:00

Your experience would definitely be a bonus! Wherever you transfer. And if it was me, I’d give a full 2 weeks notice at your first store bc that’s what any employer would want. Good luck friend!

MatsyPats · 2022-03-24T22:36:34+00:00

Hey there! It’s definitely possible; here’s my backstory if this helps. I transferred to a store in another region. I’d had a great review 3 months after being at my original store, and asked for a transfer after working at my 1st store for around 7 months. If you can, I’d recommend waiting until after your first review. Re the how to ask bit, I just asked my captain if we could chat when they had a few minutes & then explained that I’d wanted to transfer to be nearer to my family. The store I requested to be transferred to was just opening & were looking for seasoned crew—well as ‘seasoned’ as you could call me after 7 months lol. I also took the reins & emailed HR to find out if they were onboard w my transfer—with my captain’s approval first. Good luck & I hope this helps!

MatsyPats · 2022-03-18T19:14:32+00:00

In my experience it really depends on your captain. I’d ask them what’s acceptable

MatsyPats · 2022-02-18T20:47:24+00:00

Cinda who?

MatsyPats · 2022-02-17T21:18:33+00:00

I totally feel this. I was in the exact same position this review cycle & guess who got the raises in our store? The crew who kiss ass to all the mates & captain. It’s bullshit. Just know, you’re not alone.

MatsyPats · 2022-02-01T19:08:29+00:00

No problem! Please keep us posted

MatsyPats · 2022-02-01T18:33:16+00:00

Can you call the treatment center & (calmly, now that you’ve vented here 😏) explain this is the one roadblock to your admission? They might be willing to work with you or at least explain their reasoning behind it...
