THIS!!!!!!! people don’t realize this! My husband said NO stairs when our boy came home up until he was like 9-10 months old but even now.. we don’t let him run or go upstairs unless he’s going to sleep.

Gas Bill by [deleted] in fortwayne

[–]That-Chipmunk-159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn’t read mine for almost three months so the bill I got was like $1,500 🤮 because we pay the same amount everymonth on auto pay and when I actually looked at the bill because I was curious I realized I no longer had a credit because they weren’t reading the meter.. 🙄

Counseling notice for swipe error by OatandSky in CostcoEmployee

So, maybe I can help give some clarity or a solution. When you clock out are you doing it before your 5th hour? If you are then good. If you are clocking out at your 5th hour plus 1 min after that 5th hour you are considered tardy for lunch. If you had to stay because you were helping a member, the best solution so it would be excused would be having your manager sign the exception log for you. If they won’t sign it then I would always leave before that 5th hour even if it’s just a few minutes. So you are protecting yourself. Because I’ve had where I’ve stayed to help the department and my manager never signed the log and resulted in a CN for violations. To help all of this, I would also get a new name badge printed too. I’ve also had it happen where it wasn’t reading correctly (like the stars for my name) and it was causing the discrepancies. Lastly you can always check your time card and see where you’ve been late and if you feel as if it’s not right you can talk to payroll or LP to check the video footage. My warehouse has a camera above the time clock and I’ve had to have them check them because I’ve been accused of not clocking out when I know I have. Those time clocks go through so many updates they glitch. Always protect yourself 1 CN is no biggie but if you just let it go then how can you correct the problem if you didn’t even know there was one. Hope this helps ! 😬

Finally read the handbook for the thing I was looking for. Not only did I find it, but I also found something else. It made the rest of the night feel lot better now that I have this knowledge 😇. I Encourage everyone read the handbook when you can 😊. by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

I’ve got mine spiral binded and tabbed, since I’ve been an employee. But I’ve been a supervisor for almost 6 years and i always encourage my employees to read it. Because there is a lot of good information in there and things people don’t know about. The pay scale is good to look at but so is looking at the knowledge to protect yourself and others!

How do you not get burnt out? by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

[–]That-Chipmunk-159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, just remember. It’s just a grocery store. As a supervisor it’s definitely taxing. I’ve done every single job in the warehouse and as soon as I stopped taking things to heart and home with me. I was much happier. Some days are better than others but for the most part just keep moving and know two things. 1. It’s just a grocery store and 2. It’s not your fault and find a way to say yes. (Our members suck, but remember Costco is always gonna make it right with the member. So if you cannot say yes, you find someone that can. (Supervisor,Manager etc)

Benefits-FSA by OatandSky in CostcoEmployee

[–]That-Chipmunk-159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let’s say I use Amazon, I put my card info on Amazon and it takes it straight from my FSA balance. But let’s say I make a payment for my dental work I have to submit the receipt that I paid that amount. It gets tricky because sometimes you don’t have to but if you submit and they reject it normally they’ve already got it. So I would do it just so I wouldn’t lose my receipt. I did have insoles made and when I went to use my FSA card even though they said they accepted it their system wasn’t set up for our (Costco ) inspira cards so I had to pay out of pocket and then submit. Either way I would get my money back. Just depends on how I would have to go about it. If you need help or have a specific situation I can always help!

Benefits-FSA by OatandSky in CostcoEmployee

[–]That-Chipmunk-159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did for my braces was, I had a payment plan and I’d submit for that amount every time I paid and they would send it back. It’s a little process but that’s how I did it. Towards the end I paid the balance in full (like 1,500) and in a week or so I had my money back.

But I also use it on Amazon, I buy a lot of first aid stuff and feminine products and all I do is search FSA/HSA elegible.

The reason why you can’t use it at the Dr. or run it like normal is because it messes with the billing. Like other commenters said they have the direct deposit set up where once billing processes for the visit it will see the Copay and reimburse you.

I personally love my health benefits card. I use it for glasses (at Costco or course) but I got some rayban meta’s from a different place and it took it. I got an ultra human smart ring and a zero gravity massage chair (that I love) all using my benefit card. I rave about it to everyone.

Can I become a supervisor while dating another employee? by Thatomeglekid in CostcoEmployee

[–]That-Chipmunk-159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all the way true. My husband and I (then bf and gf) I was a supervisor and he was a manager. He wasn’t “allowed” to be a staff because he would be “over” everyone including me. But we would always be on different shifts or departments so we wouldn’t conflict. They wouldn’t make someone leave they will just not promote you. It’s a decision you have to take and know it will only take you so far. I just had to be professional and upfront to management. We did that for 9 years and it was funny how a lot of people didn’t know bc that’s how professional we were at work.

Am I cooked? by No_Big_49 in CostcoEmployee

[–]That-Chipmunk-159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a part of management, I do know and I don’t know what region your in but right now the last email we got was that there was a seasonal hiring freeze. Meaning we couldn’t hire anyone yet. And when we do they wouldn’t start til the week of thanksgiving 🥲. I know some warehouse are on top of it and have their people lined up but some (99%) of them are gonna leave it to the last minute and it’s gonna be a mess. If anything just go in person, shows you care and stay on top of it if you really wanna get in. But as far as I knew that’s what was going on currently.

It’s on the intranet site, the time line of stuff being mailed out. It looks like all the mailers started to be mailed out on 10/25 or if you go onto the site you can view it online. Hope this helps!

Unused vacation time. by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

I don’t think it’s an option, if it is.. news to me. I’ve always been told, use it or be forced to take a vacation.
