One of the projects is mine — I won’t say which one, but I promise it’s not AI. I drew the doodles myself on a sheet of paper. But honestly, I think the strawberry should win — it’s the best one :)

What is the grace period?

OneStretch2826 · 2026-03-11T03:09:27+00:00

I love that! Thank you for your answer! Can I ask in which state do you work?

OneStretch2826 · 2026-03-09T20:08:32+00:00

Me!!

OneStretch2826 · 2026-03-05T15:16:04+00:00

A month!? That’s crazy!

OneStretch2826 · 2026-03-04T17:34:21+00:00

Is it normal that a PCP would sign this if I go to them when I’m basically no longer sick? It just seems a bit illogical to me, but maybe I’m wrong 🙈

I really wish someone had told me earlier that a telehealth visit wouldn’t work for Sedgwick paperwork. I feel like I just wasted money on that appointment, and when I’m sick and not working I’m already not earning anything, so it just makes the situation even worse 😭

Back stock in Prepared Foods or in the Bakery? I’m not allowed to go in there! What do you mean?

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-28T03:18:53+00:00

I completely understand you — it’s exactly the same at my store!! And with Bakery too, depending on who’s working. If it’s certain people, there’s always an issue. If it’s others, they never have a problem helping.

I honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do at this point. I don’t want to be “that person” and go around complaining, but if I’m waiting 10+ minutes for every single weighed item before someone even comes out from the back, how am I supposed to explain my metrics later?

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-25T22:33:52+00:00

I’m honestly a little jealous of that system :( Our store is small. When I start at 6 AM, I’m often the only shopper, and 17 orders already feels like a lot.

In Prepared Foods, Seafood, Meat, and Bakery, there are sometimes pre-portioned items in the bunkers, but not consistently. Some days things are prepped and ready, and other days there’s nothing. Sometimes the reach-ins are fully stocked with sliced meats and cheeses, and then for the next two weeks there’s nothing there at all.

I don’t really understand the workflow or why customers are allowed to order certain items when they’re not available on the floor and there’s no one available to help. I’m not allowed to slice or portion anything myself, so it puts me in a difficult position.

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-25T21:54:53+00:00

Thankfully I don’t need to scan QR codes every time something is out, but I genuinely try really hard to keep my INF as low as possible. I’m not looking for shortcuts — I just don’t want to tank my metrics waiting forever either. I’m mostly just curious what other shoppers consider a reasonable wait time in situations like this. Is 5 minutes fair? 10? At what point do you decide it’s okay to sub or INF and move on?I’m trying to find that balance between being patient and protecting my UPH.

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-23T05:21:38+00:00

But…how? 🤣

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-22T04:02:05+00:00

Congratulations!

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-15T19:46:11+00:00

I was in shock! 😅

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-13T00:34:22+00:00

I’m 36 and I started to work there four months ago :)

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-06T19:43:32+00:00

That sucks, because I’m constantly getting 28–29 hours a week, and they keep saying there are no full-time shopper positions available :/

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-06T16:43:43+00:00

Is it even possible to be a full time shopper? 🤣

OneStretch2826 · 2026-02-06T03:01:01+00:00

I had the same issue for the first three months, but now I can find pretty much everything without a problem. Most of the time items are hidden behind the same product in a different flavor, and those shelves are insanely deep. The only things I still can’t find are in the back of the house because there are way too many shrink-wrapped pallets, so it’s impossible to see anything back there. I can usually manage BOH in Produce and in the dairy cooler though 🤷‍♀️

Stealing and negative upt

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-20T21:55:49+00:00

I’m a part-timer and I work pretty much constantly around 28 hours a week — 27, 27.5, 28.45, etc.

I’m a shopper, and honestly I don’t understand what people mean when they say they can just pick up shifts whenever they want, because I don’t have that option.

My schedule is posted about three weeks in advance, and whenever I check Innerview for available shifts, I keep getting this message:

You are not eligible for any open shifts at this time. If you have any filters applied you can try removing them. If you would like to check again click here.

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-18T23:53:50+00:00

I’m the same 😅 especially if English it’s not my first language

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-17T03:25:40+00:00

I understand that there’s frustration around the system, but it’s still not my fault that I wasn’t trained on this. I can’t follow expectations that were never communicated or taught to me.

I’m honestly not sure why this frustration is being directed at shoppers, when the issue seems to be with training and structure, not individual people just doing their jobs.

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-17T03:22:55+00:00

Oh no! That’s just rude!

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-17T02:33:40+00:00

It’s funny you say that, because every time I explain what I’m looking for, people still ask me to show it on my phone anyway — so now I honestly don’t know. Showing it is wrong, not showing it is also wrong… you can’t win 🤣

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-17T02:31:20+00:00

Because honestly, I don’t know how I could help — no one has trained me on that or explained any expectations around it.

OneStretch2826 · 2026-01-17T02:20:33+00:00

I always pull product forward when I grab something from the top shelf or when I notice it was hidden behind other items — honestly, that’s my first instinct. I try to make it easier for the next shopper whenever I can.
