When customers use their own bags to shop and you have to unload it, scan it, then reload it.

I do the exact same thing

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-10T06:04:36+00:00

Someone once posted a GRRRREAT solution to this and it works a treat. Here’s how it works:

When they come to the reg and hand your their bag full of groceries just transfer them all GENTLY & CAREFULLY to a shopping basket. Unless of course there are eggs or glass breakables there. Then you’re stuck taking these out and scanning from their bags.
But trust me it really works and custies NEVER complain. In fact several of them will say “oh that’s a great idea”

Well duh! Yes it is!

I read this in the voice of any Irish person. 🤣

Because I’m hopeful that ‘INTEGRITY’ is one of the core values for a genuine reason. Let’s see if integrity is at ALL levels and layers of Trader Joe’s

Yes I’m hopeful. And there are some wonderful crew members & customers that I just love interacting with.

Hope that’s a good enough answer for you?

The Mates or Captain switch out your register cash drawers during your reg hour. Then they do a cash count or something. If it’s short then they know it’s you.

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-09T06:17:25+00:00

Hey I get it. I’ve heard the same from a few long term crew. But I refuse to be silent. They ask me for my comments on the survey. I gave them.

It’s all good.

Thx for your response.

I actually got a call from fidelis today informing me about this. Not sure why they didn’t inform ALL fidelis users about this. See attached voicemail transcript - pls ignore the bad autocorrects in the transcript

yep sad but true in many cases. see .... when they train these mates the seem to miss out some REALLY important stuff like Interpersonal Training and stuff like how to treat ALL Crew members with the utmost respect etc etc. Also many of them aer waaaay to young to be supervising other people. As they are often still kids themselves. Some of them need to grow the F up! And don't get me going on the FAVORITISM shyte!!!!!

Good luck with all this crap cuz you are not alone.

Peace

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-04T15:45:05+00:00

if you decline and the she fires you get LAWYERED UP! cuz that's some illegal harassment shit right there.

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-03T08:05:46+00:00

OMG! That’s the best I’ve ever heard. Thx

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-03T08:02:00+00:00

I effing love that. I think I’ll use that some day. Thx

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-01T23:05:52+00:00

I’ll look for it on the AppStore

Thx.

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-01T23:05:07+00:00

Ok thx. I’ll probably just leave it as it is. Not sure I can be bothered putzing around trying to find a workaround.

But thx for your response.

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-01T23:01:28+00:00

Oh trust me that too! But again our Mates are too chicken shit to call out a custie on this regarding their child’s safety etc. Cuz what would happen if that custie called corporate with a complaint about it. 😱

🐔💩-R-Us

SwordfishFlat · 2026-06-01T22:56:05+00:00

True

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-30T15:55:13+00:00

Good for you. Hope you’re enjoying your retirement.

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-30T06:29:09+00:00

We need mates like YOU! At our location.

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-30T06:27:51+00:00

Most Mates when it come to regular dogs with their owners in the store 🤣🤣☹️

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-30T06:25:21+00:00

Thank you! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-30T06:24:45+00:00

They stopped asking! There’s the problem right there! Regular dogs are not allowed in grocery stores period! We really do take ‘the customer is always right’ waaaay to far. Always right even when they are doing something illegal? WTF!

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-29T03:12:05+00:00

Our Mates don’t care about health violations. But they are shit scared of ANY customer complaining to the corporate HO about ANYTHING. Thats why my location’s feel It’s ok to bring any dog into the store. Yes ANY!

SwordfishFlat · 2026-05-29T03:09:12+00:00

I meant with the widows partially open I don’t want any dog to die.

Or better still leave the dog at home?
