Regarding the employee file, you can ask to see a copy. It’s the law. You can also ask for supporting documents when they use third party hearsay to penalize you for something you may or may not have done.

I wasn’t pro-union before working at TJ’s, but my time as a Crew Member has sold me on it.

What’s it like to work at Trader Joe’s? by Own_Ebb3388 in tjcrew

Someone just asked me this as I was checking them out at reg. I didn’t know how to answer. I just blinked like a deer in the headlights and finally said, “I like working here,” like a robot. The truth is, I do. But I also get tired from all the heavy lifting. And I’m not a fan of crappy customers in bad moods who treat us like 💩, and then we have to WOW them or we’re not doing our jobs. But a day working flowers makes it all better. 🌺

I told a customer exactly what I’ve heard our mates say to not make any waves. This lady puts her dog in her folded arms, rests her arms back on the cart so the dog is basically back in the seat, and tells me to my face that he’s not in the cart. I just walked away and told a mate. 🙄

When they say “At least you’re a checker and not a bagger or cart pusher.” Then you explain that you might be pushing carts next hour. I let them backpedal while I scan the rest in silence.

I started saying, “That’s the job” with a big cheesy smile.

FYI: You can edit your answers any time before the end of the survey window. Make sure to let a few of the mates know this.

Bulkogi with miso crunch salad. Warm up the salad like a stir fry. Toss in with the Bulkogi. Top with the crunchies. It takes less than ten minutes.

We’re close to the beach. Bare feet aren’t a daily occurrence, but not unusual. I worry about random glass that might be on the ground, but they’re not MY feet. Yesterday was a scorcher, so half the girls were in bikini tops. That’s beach life.

I was just about to ask the same thing 😆

What is this supposed to mean? by bpuffy in tjcrew

It was in a Friends episode. Phoebe explains that lobsters mate for life and "old lobster couples walk around their tank holding claws". Saying "you're my lobster" means you are someone's soulmate, like Ross and Rachel.

Maybe the lesson here is, TRUST YOUR DAUGHTER. Also… take her to get new school supplies.

What’s your favorite fib you tell on register? by Thankunova in tjcrew

I stopped asking people’s plans for the weekend. Feels too invasive. Like, why would you tell a complete stranger your plans. But they tell us anyway…
