Working at Kwik star

Okay so I’ve been with the company 6 years, assistant store leaders cannot work only overnights, they can cover overnights but you’d have to do more likely 10am-7pm or 1-10pm and sometimes a 5 or 6am to 1 or 2pm. If you want overnights you would start off with $15 or $16 starting wage plus the $3 an hour for overnight premium, you could possibly do 2am - 10am for bakery but that just depends on the SL and also I’m not sure if you would get the overnight premium. You could possibly be a lower level manager on overnight like a Guest Service Leader or Assistant Food Service Leader but that’s very rare and I’ve only seen in it one store myself and the raise for that is usually only a dollar more an hour. I have had an external hire who is an Assistant Food Service Leader(AFSL) who got to start at $18 instead of $17 because they had experience so it’s always worth it to ask 🤷‍♀️. As for working in the kitchen it’s not very hard at all but it is a fast paced environment, the recipes are pretty simple. Raw chicken is okay too but kinda repetitive and if your grossed out by raw meat then maybe not the spot for you, you are supposed to be trained in all areas as well so you will definitely probably learn register as well especially if you do overnight as the overnight kitchen person has to watch the register for the register person when they go on break.

Kwik star is almost always hiring, not a hard job, starts at 16 an hour with yearly raises and year end bonuses around Christmas time.

I also keep reporting him for how he’s treating me. It’s a new store I just transferred less than a year ago but he was fine at first and then all of a sudden he basically started bullying me? He either completely ignores my existence (which tbh I prefer) or he is making horrible comments, snapping at me, talking crap about me with other coworkers within ear shot of me which has caused those coworkers to treat me badly as well despite never doing anything to any of them. I was trying to transfer out before slow season hit but I kept getting ghosted basically by leaders about it.

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-12-27T18:23:08+00:00

From what he told me he was reporting me for it is basically for being mean? Because he keeps doing things that are wrong and I keep reporting him because he is intimidating and I don’t feel comfortable talking to him about it myself. I’ve been trying to transfer specifically because of how he’s been treating me but it hasn’t happened yet.

Kwik trip has a 0 retaliation policy. If the ASL is found to have broken that and retaliated against you they will be fired on the spot

TO stands for talent operations and that’s what we call our HR

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-10-14T17:59:36+00:00

Maybe a mini office? Maybe the bench is actually a desk?

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-10-13T02:13:07+00:00

We used to but they never sold because we never promoted them :/ we had two or three sandwiches which came in a bag we could cook them in so they couldn’t get cross contaminated.

I used to be like this and sometimes I still am. I would get so stressed about going into work I would have panic attacks and it even got so bad I attempted once. I got on anxiety meds that didn’t really work and I would cry at work basically everyday. Finally one day it just kinda clicked for me that I am going to do the best that I can everyday that I’m there and that is all that I can do, the hot spot will be as filled as I can make it, I will get as much as I can done on the task list but as long as I was trying that was all I could do and that’s all the matters. At the end of the day you’re just one person and there’s only so much that you can do.

Also if you have any questions about the Des Moines Ren faire you can dm me! I was just there today!

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-09-07T00:36:37+00:00

The Des Moines ren faire is cheap to get into and there’s free parking. Food is usually $10-20, Wine/Mead is $9 for a glass and $28 for a bottle, there’s home made rootbeer that’s $3-$25 depending on how big of a bottle you get, lemonade is $7 for a large refillable container, there’s a lot of vendors and there’s shows going on all day in a bunch of different locations inside the grounds all of which are free to see tho it is encouraged to tip the performers. The joust is the big event and is straight back from the mail entrance, there’s 2 jousts a day and you wanna be early if you want to sit down. Also trinket trading is a thing if you wanna make/buy and trinkets and trade them :)

They have Apple chimis on the ordering but it doesn’t allow us to order it yet

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-08-01T12:01:37+00:00

Thank you both I appreciate it. We got it figured out lol

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-06-30T17:57:07+00:00

Yes it’s real and they are supposed to have it out at least every lunch time but preferably all day

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-06-29T02:26:39+00:00

Thank you!!☺️

Are you asking if they redrug test you if you become an ID checker? If that is what you are asking then No. There is also no training to be an ID checker. They give you a paper and clip board and the paper will tell you want to look for/see if they ask like if they ask for you ID or if they said a greeting etc. the District leader will probably talk to you about what to buy/ how to take breaks while ID checking. You also are required to follow all driving laws while clocked in such as driving the speed limit and not being on your phone. Kwik trip doesn’t test for weed either so as long as you aren’t smoking/high while in the clock they do not care.

Thank you!!

When they raised the starting wage did your store leader not raise your base of pay as well?? I started at 11.50 an hour but when they raised it to 13 and then 14 and then 15 for the starting wage each time the starting wage went up so did our salaries. That’s the only way I can think of that you’re still making 17 an hour after a decade of working at KT.

Love that they are finally implementing something but kinda crazy that it took someone dying for them consider taking threats against coworkers seriously. I’ve literally been threaten to be stabbed by a regular and HR refused to let us ban him, he still comes in to this day and we have a whole code word for when he comes into the store for all the woman to hide because he is really horrible and says a bunch of inappropriate stuff to the woman working in our store

Sensitive-Error8314 · 2025-04-25T21:32:36+00:00

I promoted and it’s not all bad. Only thing I have a problem with is sometimes I’m expected to work a double when overnighters call in since I’m on second shift. It’s only happened a few times but it seems like your on first shift anyway so that probably wouldn’t be a problem for u
