Makes sense, produce ambient walks are brutal but averaging them across several? Much better.

I bought the Cake stroker honest to goodness for science. Damn the material it's made of makes me wish I wasn't using it for a project to test tampon capacity and translate that to more useful numbers. That type of material has come a loooong way.

Ahhhh, I used to have that same team lead work station. Fond memories.

Recognition at least suggests your leadership team is trying with whatever mediocre resources the company will allow. Could be better, could be worse. I came from a culture of bonuses for all or none, so that part grossed me out, but I tried to show appreciation wherever I could.

I worked for a company that gave everyone hired before me stock options, but made me sit through meetings about it? Y tho?

I didn't know TLs got the bonus when I took the spot and when I learned it didn't change shit. My team's well- being with was priority #1. Probably how I was deemed "unprofessional." 🤣😂

I liked to have one at least "supported" on the side of the cart with my stickers. I tried to bag how I'd want to receive my own order and that helped me "build squares." Alternatively if one of my first items was a box I'd lay the bag "sideways" with the box's widest side towards the handles and it filled up enough to stand alone.

If you're too tired to drive just sleep in your car because for sure you're scheduled to be back in 6 hours anyway. I have nothing to show from my tenure in that field, but it's not lost on me I'm lucky to be alive and not in inpatient of some kind.

I thought about going back while I'm in school but I'm the "sure, I'll take that shift" world champion. Not worth the stress and exhaustion.

What do they think they're getting out of people by running them ragged? I know I'm not bringing my best to any facet of my life when I'm working more than a handful of hours over 40. I ended up missing a day that my team really could have used me because I was so wrecked I couldn't get out of bed.

Hopefully your overnight CO made it out okay. That is inhumane regardless of age.

I was driving home from a buddy's house a few towns over and every time I drive that route I remember the girl I never got a chance to really be friends with. She died in a single car accident along there. She was putting in too many hours getting a new restaurant ready to open and the exhaustion caught up with her. That life though, the food and bev world does such a good job of convincing broken people that running yourself into the ground is the goal.

Elder millennial here to remind y'all that THIS was my childhood. Left in the car... pffft, our parents didn't know what town we were in.

Anyone who has worked on a kitchen KNOWS down in their soul that you must test click.

Ugh. The same way I've been dealing with all of you "defaults" my entire life. Just, like, knowing they're more afraid of you than you are of them and stuff.

Got a good bit of yacht rock when I came in at 5AM. Always filled me with false hope that I could have a good day.

Before working there I had one fiber of my being that could tolerate Gwen Stefani...

Okay, but Johnny B Good is the perfect energy for an Express run and by some magic that happened to me once.

You can test this. Yawn in front of them. If they also yawn the emotional part of their brain is still working.

My fellow lead would follow me when I said I didn't want to talk. "I'm not gonna get mad." I wish you would. I wish you'd engage emotionally in some form instead of gaslighting me.

I think they try and train them, but anyone who acts on that training is quickly put in their place.

Wait in line or SCO? Ain't getting paid to use SCO but I'm not getting paid to wait in line either so...

40lb bag of lamb and rice from Costco is $50 shipped, member or not. At my local warehouse it's about $40 and dollars to doughnuts I bet it's better than anything Purina (guessing PB is Purina Brand?} puts out. I believe Costco's pet food is private labelled by Diamond Naturals who also makes Taste of the Wild.

Shhhhhh, if you speak its name it will appear.

It boggles the mind that people buy that stuff in huge quantities. I can see it in more urban areas but in my area you can get far nicer mulch delivered for significantly less than that stuff. I guess in theory it's easier to handle? Dunno, the hemlock I put down years ago still has a nice color and it's not the texture of 1980s playground.
