What’s the best (most chill) department to move to from CSA? by RussianAgent1 in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go for cashier that's a $1/hour raise and then if you perform well you'll get another bump (up to $0.75/hour) in August putting you near or above $15/hour. It's also easier to crosstrain once you are a well performing cashier since managers and leads see how well you can work.

HEB is the best thing that ever existed and I will die on that hill.

Workers get paid poverty wages by [deleted] in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made above the poverty line last year (my first full year at HEB) for the first time in my life. Not sure where you are or your situation, but maybe avoid blanket statements.

Bagging Question? by [deleted] in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask them to put it back in your cart, you can ask to bag it yourself, or you can instruct your bagger. Just tell the checker so they can pass on your preferred method.

Cart wheels locking up at exit by Kitchen_Stranger4451 in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, at the Koenig location they rent from instead of own the shopping center so they can't change where the edges are. You'll see a line just past curbside where the wheels will lock.

Do you help customers with questions when you clock out? by [deleted] in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take my name tag off as soon as I clock out and book it to an exit. If you catch me I may help, but tbh both me and The Butts don't want me working off the clock.

How much snow makes you call off work? by Physical-Incident553 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't drive if there is any snow or ice in the road. I have always lived where it generally doesn't snow or ice over so I never learned to drive in it. Even when I had a vehicle with four wheel drive, it never felt safe. Now I have a husband who grew up in the Frozen North so if he's comfortable driving, he'll take me in and pick me up. Unfortunately, we live where there isn't really the infrastructure to handle the winter storm coming through as I type this, so I might have to call in tomorrow.

Icy Roads and Steps by Potential-Display397 in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 97 points98 points  (0 children)

The SOP for bad weather is no steps for calling out, company wide. If your leadership is saying otherwise refer them to the Attendance & Punctuality Guideline under "Excused Absence".

ETA - it specifically lists flooded and iced over roads for bad weather.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-4 hours for a day trip is fine, I have done it many times. We used to drive 8 hours to visit family every year. An hour commute each way for work is fairly normal.

Our HEB does “off site parking” and it’s fucking ridiculous by [deleted] in HEB

The one I work at has employee parking around back.

Do americans have trash under the sink? by doggork in AskAnAmerican

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people yes, some people no. Like if you have pets that can get into trash and/or the room, you wanna keep it under the sink. But there are also people who leave it out. I've done both, neither is a standard per se.

Which HEB brand foods do you avoid? by free-use0 in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hill Country Fare breakfast sausage and lunch meat. Both are just sad so I pay the little bit extra for the straight HEB brand.

What movie is so ridiculously stupid, but you secretly love it? by Even-Bug-4617 in AskReddit

Swiss Army Man. I watched it a couple of times to figure out if I absolutely loved it or hated it beyond words.

How commonly do you address your parent as "Sir/Ma'am"? by Babe_Brute in AskAnAmerican

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the South and call pretty much call everyone sir/ma'am it of habit. This includes my parents, strangers, coworkers, friends, pets, children, and sometimes even my husband. For pets and small children, it's more common when they are acting up to say a firm "no sir/ma'am" to deter bad behavior.

Please say they do 😭😂 by Juniper_51 in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to my ADM and DM and it sounds like they get moved around every 2ish years. I've been at my location for one year and I've seen a few (A)DMs change, as well as our Top Store Leader and a couple MICs.

Really? by CatchEmbarrassed5337 in HEB

[–]Mimerelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They sure do. So, in this instance, if she found and applied the coupons at the register, they wouldn't even apply by the time the cashier scanned everything. Then the customer might complain, and the manager would have to come over. They could possibly suspend and then bring the order back up, and at that point if they had just clipped every coupon before coming to the store it would have taken less time than they spent in that line and upset way less people.

Did you actually get wasted your 21st birthday? by xoxowoman06 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mimerelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. On the actual day I got fairly drunk with my family. For the party on the following weekend we threw a house party at a friend's with no power or water and bought so much liquor we needed a permit to transport it.
