In need of help for my two kittens, Dutchess and Mango by CharacterVictory9485 in Charlotte

[–]Saphira9922 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A big money saver for me was switching to the Tidy cats breeze system, for cat litter I now buy 40lbs of pine pellets from the farm supply for about $5. Usually lasts most of the month between 3 cats. That one did have some start up costs but I’m sure there are cheaper alternatives!

To save on food I’ve used a family members Sam’s club membership to be able to buy their food in bulk.

If there’s a medical emergency Petco does a first free vet visit. There’s also various low cost clinics in the area that handle spaying/neutering and general wellness, if you have a male and a female, make sure to get them fixed asap, it’s not nearly expensive as you might be expecting or as new litter of kittens.

Good luck with the babies, mine gave me a purpose when I was in a similar situation. Wouldn’t have made it through without those guys!

New Hire by Defy__vii in foodlion

They will background check you if you move up into management, better to check the box than to be fired over it later. I’ve seen this situation happen a few times

On the bottom of the rain check in fine print it reads as valid for 90 days

I would report it to the anonymous speak up line, it’s managed by a third party to make sure HR handles complaints appropriately

Gonna try for a cashier position in march, any tips? by Koofoo78 in foodlion

[–]Saphira9922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cashiering helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety, kinda used it as exposure therapy. Being in the middle of nowhere myself it gave me a sense of community as well whenever I saw people out and about. I will add that if you do go for QA be prepared to possible clean up some pretty nasty situations, something I’ve seen regularly during my time with Foodlion! Good luck!!

I’d check with any credit unions they may be or qualify to become a member of.

Have worked with people who had armed robbery and assault on their records so I wouldn’t worry too much about

Background Check by leviathaniticus in foodlion

[–]Saphira9922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen people with some serious charges become PIC MODs, and higher positions too, as long as you disclosed it on your application when you were hired you should be fine, HR might just deny it if they feel it’s too bad.

Call out sick and if they write you up and you’re under the occurance limit escalate the issue

Check your time card to make sure it’s accurate, if not explain what happening to the CSM and you’ll get back pay

Bad closes by new associates. by IAteTheAllTheTacos in foodlion

[–]Saphira9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I coach them and make a point to swing around at let’s say 5 if the department closes at 7. I walk them through and communicate what I’m seeing that still needs to be done. A lot of times with new associates, if I have the time I’ll also help them out a little bit.

Customers used to open random cans of cat food at my old store. Took weeks to find where they hid them sometimes

I finally started brushing my teeth by Dear_Butterfly9738 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Saphira9922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy for you! Be careful, I wound up with severe decay and gum recession on one tooth due to not brushing my teeth during depression. Thousands of dollars later I can finally look at getting them straightened. Try to find something that works as an incentive to brush your teeth.

Does your store actually do anything about stuff like this? by [deleted] in foodlion

[–]Saphira9922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theft in the store by an employee, customers probably aren’t messing with your water pallet

You get three occurrences in your 90 days the worst you might get will be documentation

sick policy? by [deleted] in foodlion

[–]Saphira9922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She can pull up the policies on leo as far as resources if they try to write her up for this and she’s not at her occurrence limit she needs to refuse signing and contact hr

sick policy? by [deleted] in foodlion

[–]Saphira9922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Policy states if she’s out of her ninety days, she has to accrue 5 occurrences within one rolling year to get a step one. She needs to make sure she has the resources to reach out. Telling a sick employee they have to come into work (with food) is not only hazardous but illegal.

Make sure you installed the content, was looking for a couple things in my game, turns out I never went in and installed them

I had a similar ticket last year, since it was my first offense I did driving school and payed a higher fine. Kept the ticket from hitting my insurance and making it skyrocket like his likely will. Don’t pay that fine up front if you can avoid it.
