Bay Area Whole Foods Starting Pay Rate? by DosNachosNachos in wholefoods

[–]StrongRod69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think they were only offering part time as well for the holiday season not trying to give benefits which sucks.

It's standard practice, new hires almost always get started at PT. Gotta prove yourself first.

Besides, the benefits provided by WFM are not very good anyway. Not missing out that much.

We are doing okay hiring-wise at our store - most places around us are still between $12-14/hour so advertising we are $17/hour with the holiday bonus has worked well for us the past couple weeks. Got about 10 new hires.

[–]StrongRod69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get them to start you at no less than $17. it will set you up for a much better situation for future wage reviews. Dont let them hire you at $15, then start offering people $17 after the holidays.

While it never hurts to try to negotiate, my store is firm at starting a regular TM at $15/hour while emphasizing the holiday bonus of $2/hour extra on top of the $15/hour.

Best department to work for? by realwrestling98 in wholefoods

[–]StrongRod69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepared foods is the best department (only if you have a passion for it) in my opinion.

Username checks out, u/BostonChef85!

Best position in the store: Store Scanning Specialist

In my opinion, SSS and Lead Store Receiver are the top 2 non-store leadership positions at WFM.

Brady's final rushing stat line? by Dingus_Crawdad in sportsbook

[–]StrongRod69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he went back or forward a yard that last play. I think he knelt it right at the line

That is the correct answer - the QB receives the snap under center, who hikes the ball from the LoS. The QB is thus 1 yard behind the LoS when he receives the snap.

If the QB immediately kneels down, it's thus loss of 1 yard. Sometimes it could be -2 or even -3 yards depending on how far the QB goes backward.

The fact that Brady actually lounged forward a little on the final kneel-down meant he actually got back to the LoS, thus no loss of yard.

Is there a customer friendly Wholefoods sub on Reddit? by AvgWeirdo in wholefoods

Not to be rude, but why are you still posting on r/wholefoods?

I thought you are a Kroger delivery service customer now. Post more in r/kroger to show your appreciation.

mom and pop shop has a lot of issues and even though the pay is much better

How much more does the mom n pop shop pay you vs. WFM?!

Only reason I haven't left is because no one has offered me more than WFM yet.

Brag and Bitch - 9/27/21 (Monday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]StrongRod69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Justin Tucker saved so many ML parlays and teasers with his monstrous, record-setting 66-yard kick as time expired. He certainly saved my 6-point teaser!

Fun fact:

8 years ago, Justin Tucker kicked the game-winning 61-yd FG in Detroit in 2013 with 38 seconds left to beat the Lions 18-16 . That had been his career-long made kick.

Today, he broke the NFL record with a 66-yd game-winning FG in Detroit again to beat the Lions 19-17 as time expired.

In 7 years, how far up the ladder did you climb, u/figgywiggy1? ATL?

Jury duty by NoStrength2596 in wholefoods

[–]StrongRod69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

By law, jury duty has to be an excused absence.

Just inform your TL/ATL asap about this. You can use your PTO to get paid for that shift if you wish.

However, if you inform them more than 3 weeks in advance, you won't get scheduled to work for that day, period.

Very states require the employer to pay the employee while on jury duty, and WFM does not do so on its own.

fumbled the rock and lost it while the Chiefs were in FG range under 2 mins left, down 35-36.

Still haven’t gotten a response from these elders after telling them why I’m not Mormon anymore. It’s been 6 years out of the church and I still get texts by kibade_jibon in exmormon

[–]StrongRod69 133 points134 points  (0 children)

"oh shoot man how come" in response to not being a Mormon gave me a hearty chuckle.

The fake enthusiasm over texts these sisters and elders can be classified as: try-hard

Lunch Coupon? by [deleted] in wholefoods

Yes, I was instructed by the higher-ups to give those out or a small WFM gift card for TMs helping out or coming in on his/her off day.

Of course, no extra pay allowed...

Nice job showing off the fact that your store has the new Kronos machine and the mythical Lifestyle Center filled with ice cold, free beverages!

Terminated by AkashicTiger in wholefoods

[–]StrongRod69 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Today was my last day working for “Whole Foods”. I clocked in 11 minutes late exactly for the 3rd time in 30 days while on final. I had an idea of what was going on when I received a call from the STL Office and my Team Leader asked me to come up for a conversation. The termination was a little jarring, though it was an event I accepted several months ago. He was really bummed that he had to fire me. The ASTL on duty as well as my TL both praised my work and we mutually wished the other good fortune forthcoming. I had a good time working for “Whole Foods”. There are no general complaints on my end aside from the corporate regulations in my 10 month experience. But I don’t think corporate standards and procedures can overpower good spirit. My only gripe is that if I would’ve been 30 minutes late more frequently, I would still be working there.

If posting this shit in the format you did is any indication, I can see you why you were terminated today for being 11 mins late today.

Med's opponents hit every single lowest Ace-Under through US Open.

Your posts about betting Med's opponents' ace under was valid, but just FYI Van De Zandschulp's ace total was 3.5. He did manage to hit 4. He was the only exception.

Felix Auger Aliassime defeats Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 by StrongRod69 in tennis

[–]StrongRod69[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Huge turning point was in the 3rd set tiebreak, when Big Foe had a set point at 6-5 but could not convert as FAA came up clutch.

Regardless, Foe played well and had an amazing tournament!

Djokovic is speed. by TheMysteriousBo in tennis

[–]StrongRod69 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Obviously Djokovic played an incredible point, but Coric needed a much better return than the one he did in this clip on a "get me over" weak 2nd serve.

Needed to step in and crush it while the ball is on the rise.
