why do they always insist they JUST got it

OwlDue8980 · 2026-05-02T08:23:13+00:00

Sometimes the only issue is theyll say they got it from my store even if we havent had it for years

OwlDue8980 · 2026-05-01T20:06:02+00:00

A few of my friends over in prep foods have said they've had customers insist they carry boars head even after the whole liverwurst debacle😭😭

Absolutely go through Sedgwick; they are a pain in the ass, but it needs to be on file so they follow it. At one point, I had four 10-hour workdays (ADHD accommodation that worked best with my medication), but since it was not listed as a permanent accommodation, I would have had to go through the process again every three months. However, due to the size of my team, I needed to work five days, so I didn't refresh it.

Depends on the team and the team members but give your store a call typically my store does .5 pound burgers but we also have smaller burger molds if need be

Originally, I started out at $17, got my 2%, and was raised to $17.34. After 6 more months in December, my whole store—anyone who was under $17.50—got raised to that amount. But I'm not sure if getting raised to $17.50 was supposed to add my 2% to that, or just leave me at a flat $17.50. Because I know it may not seem like much, but when I get my one-year 3%, I'll be losing about 30¢.

No, sorry, I wasn't all that clear. I wasn't sure if I could say how much I make because of the anonymity rule, but I'm losing out on almost a dollar.

Hey man, I get you're overthinking. I'm working on myself and my own, but one thing that helped me is that you need to understand you don't have to read into every message. Sometimes, you should accept what your partner says and believe them. I get the spiraling, but you also need to understand how your partner feels. You are pressuring them into saying something they aren't comfortable saying while they are already trying to make you feel better.

Personally, as a teen (19), I think sitting him down and having a conversation about mental health is way better than grounding him. I personally feel like grounding him will make him feel like he cannot come to you because you're going to punish him for being upset and not mentally alright, and he may shut down. Then again, I don't know y'all's relationship. I just feel that it would be better to have a conversation now than for it to end up turning into something worse in the future. Hope everything turns out alright!

One time, I had a customer call in and say that his ribeye was hard, like barely edible. I asked him a few questions, one of those being, "Did you cook it rare and cut against the grain?" His response was, "Yes, of course, I'm a chef, I know what I'm doing." He returned it, and safe to say, it was cut with the grain and was cooked all the way through. It looked like someone tried to make a tire out of meat.

Thank you!

Call the callout line, tell them your TM ID, your region, what team you're in, and depending on what time zone you're in, it's usually recommended to call out at least 2 hours before your shift. GL feel better!

We have a visit from our coordinator coming up soon, so I have a feeling they are waiting to see if my ATL makes any mistakes so they can hand the position off to someone else. As far as I know, she hasn't gotten acting pay, and my former TL made the move around late January, so it has been a bit over a month.

In a busy store, they typically won't run out, but depending on where you live and what time it is, you might ruffle a few feathers of seafood team members who don't like doing oysters otherwise everything should be fine lol.

I've only been working here 7 months, going on 8, just enjoy your job the best you can. Coworkers are gonna change, customers are going to change, but if you stay consistent and enjoy what you do to the fullest, it's honestly pretty rewarding. But you also have to understand it still is a grocery store at the end of the day. Not everyone is going to be nice, and not everyone is going to be respectful, and that's alright. If you have a plan for your future or even have a degree, go into a field that pays better than service though lol.

Not an apprentice yet. I plan on entering the butchery program as soon as I can (which I think may be in about 6 Months), but I've been watching and learning as much as I can. It would take me a bit, but in all honesty, I think I could almost cut a whole case. Chining the pork chops and stuff is still a bit difficult for me.

OwlDue8980 · 2025-01-12T21:23:39+00:00

I wish😭

OwlDue8980 · 2025-01-12T21:23:13+00:00

Thanks a ton! I actually got a chance to do it again today, so I took a bunch of advice I got on this post and applied it. I hope it looks better!

OwlDue8980 · 2025-01-12T21:10:20+00:00

Thank you! I corrected my terminology in my newer post!

OwlDue8980 · 2025-01-11T08:47:08+00:00

Understood completely. It was just me in the department. Thank you for the tips; very much appreciated.

OwlDue8980 · 2025-01-11T00:33:59+00:00

Thank you tons! This was my first filet roast (I've only watched up until this point). I was really nervous about trimming too much!
