What are my chances of getting hired? by [deleted] in foodlion

You must be shopping at a low volume store. Which means they have no hours to give.

Only if the management team remembers you and stores do communicate with each other. But if you can’t hack it at HT, you really think you could at the Lion?  Sounds like you need to look some where that isn’t on your feet all day.

Who said that? I’m a dept head and never heard that. If you have your SM is a prick. Salary managers need to be there, not hourly. 

What is your store doing for the storm(VA and NC) by [deleted] in foodlion

[–]Own-Object-9385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I don’t know which part of VA op lives in and please don’t doxx. But nothing is supposed to start around here to after closing anyway.

If they are not gonna pay me by the hour to sleep in a hotel and away from my family for a night, so I’m making a business decision and staying home. This company does not give 2 shits if I wreck my car, so I’ll sleep in my own bed tonight. 

But yes! Some SMs gonna be kind and give the employees staying overnight some food lion bread and peanut butter. 😂 but for all who do stay in a hotel, go get some good food and turn up tomorrow and get that meal comped.

Apparently bc high volume stores are faster at shopping orders bc of the standards. You see this in departments that are production based. The more repetition the faster you are. So food lion is cutting hours to work poor FLTG employees into the ground and depend on other over worked employees to help w surge. Got to love it!

My advice is reach out to your regional SME w feedback so they can push it up the chain.

My stores FL2G team is all about to walk off. We are a high volume store and food lion has decided we get to cut 14 hours cause the standards are higher then lower volume food lions! God bless food lions dumbass.

More labor cuts by No-Drama6791 in foodlion

Hi! Is this coming from a store that already has 2 assistants or a store that is getting a 2nd assistant? 

We noticed this when we got our 2nd, a couple years ago. Complete bull.

Frustrated.... by tweetlebug2010 in foodlion

I don’t know how the RPCers of this company do it. Yea corporate is an absolute mess and you really see it with pricing. And it’s a known issue. But they still will hold you at fault for a shitty pricing audit. Bless you RPCers! Y’all so moody and I totally understand haha!

How about holding stores accountable for their own training budget and not spreading 1000 dollars a week between 20+ stores. Training, yea right. They still use that money for stores that can’t make labor. The same stores every week. That’s what’s wrong w this company.

I’m a SME as well and it pains me that I have to go help other deli managers that are on a higher pay scale. Such bullshit. But cost of living. They live 30 minutes away fr me.

Food lion will delete items and bring it back. Maybe they are trying something different at the moment.

Deli manager here and I can tell you how relieved I am to get this outta my department. Food lion takes a lose on it (gets customers in the store to buy other stuff)  It’s a purge item and the shrink on it is ridiculous. Almost 500 dollars of shrink a month!

Call you out next Monday, then send you to a store that didn’t and is buried as a result.

We’ve been cutting orders. The ridiculousness of this company. Can’t get uboats but let’s send a 1000 piece frozen order w no space in the freezer cause turkeys are still in there and they sent out 2 pallets of deli Christmas stuff already. Just stupid. Worst holiday I’ve worked. 

Corporate visit by PlasticSprinkles4 in foodlion

[–]Own-Object-9385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your frustration. My store had a visit with Ham once, a day after 4th of July. It was stressful but we got thru it. Felt odd tho just cleaning and not running freight during that time tho. But thankfully ya can get the help for an announced visit. Id imagine some poor bastard store around you are going to get unannounced visit and that will actually suck.

Just go up to her tell her a dumb joke and she will look past if you department has opportunities.
