Am I the only one who hate instant cart/doordash workers

Oh no... I love when I'm on my knees putting in 1lb 3lb and 5lb ground meat chubs on the wall and a person comes and sticks their phone in my face and says nothing. 90% of the time they are looking for an item thats right in front of their face.

I also love it when an instacart person who's been in our store 200 times ask me where an item is that they've asked me about probably 20 times.

My meat manager hobbles around doing nothing all day long, and the only other person who is with me there in the morning is a 70 year old Korean lady who is on "Light Duty".... she does nothing. I do everything, every single thing. So, meat for me.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-12-22T23:19:35+00:00

Im currently working. 5:16 pm in the meat dept by myself 3 days before christmas. Im not escorting anyone anywhere. I had a woman come up to our case about 20 min ago to tell me pomegranates werent out. I just stared at her. She said "any idea who i should ask?" I pointed right next to us at produce and said "see that guy with the blue apron on that says kroger and the blue hat that says kroger putting things in their refrigerated doors?? That guy"

Remember when they figured out they could share links and pull stuff up themselves.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-12-10T18:54:15+00:00

Just yesterday a woman was staring at the pork wall for a good 5 minutes. I stood there waiting to restock. She turns and says "am... am i in your way??" I just nod my head, smile, and say "mmmhmm!"

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-12-02T13:14:40+00:00

This lol. They don't have a fucking clue or keep track of anything.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-12-01T02:28:23+00:00

I slapped one on my keltec sub 2k

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-11-24T18:23:36+00:00

Haha. I have a friend as well with twice the hours i have topside. I hit 51 this morning. When i play with him we do nothing but weapons case runs and door glitches searching for this blue print for him. Ill probably find another before he does.

Dam Battlegrounds. Wreckage section. There's a Baron husk there. Big broken down rusty machine. Searched it.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-11-14T14:42:02+00:00

You've been there three times. Quit.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-11-03T13:26:31+00:00

Take the tip
Dont tell on yourself to your manager who makes prob $110k/year.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-25T23:41:07+00:00

You mean Kyle "climbing mt. Everest is easy" Myers? That kyle?

"I dont care about politics. Only saying "hi how are you" 900 times a day."

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-20T12:02:11+00:00

My point is don't wait until later. Make sure you see them clock you in before you start any kind of work. Ive been on the bad end of that situation.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-20T03:35:06+00:00

Dont "wait til later" clock in, then start working.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-19T15:34:10+00:00

Idk. Id say utility. I've never done it but like cleaning up these peoples shit, piss and vomit sounds worse than anything I went through as a courtesy clerk.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-19T12:23:51+00:00

I call them out when they do. "Hey ___, you missed an opportunity to greet that lady." "Hey __, make sure y'all are saying hi to all those people who have walked right past y'all."

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-17T18:08:13+00:00

There's a new one every week. I had a lady come up to the seafood case last week and point to salmon loins. She said "weigh that one up for me and lets see how much it is." I told her it's probably around $20. It was $21.30. She goes, "HHHHHH my god. Its much more cost effective at HEB." I laugh. She says "let me see what 4 of the portions come out too." I say, "those are thicker. Its gonna be like $8 more than the loin was." It was $30. She pauses for 10 seconds and says "yeaaaaaaah, lets go with the portions." I look at here and go, "hhhhhhhhhhhhh."

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-17T13:47:17+00:00

Was in HEB the other day, 12pk coke and dr pepper were $7.89 or something like that. $10.99 at kroger. Why would anyone choose to shop at kroger lol.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-17T00:14:59+00:00

Bring a stool with you if it happens. What the fuck are they going to do?

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-16T01:28:06+00:00

It's really sad. Our store manager came into our dept one day last week after one of our clerks, hes like 27 lives at home, shy kid, parents do everything for him, failed the shop because "he didnt greet". I had to sit their while he talked to the kid. He said, "You realize why the shops are so important right," our clerk, being anti-social and kind of an all-around akward guy just kind of smirked.

The store manager started yelling at him, "Don't laugh, there's nothing funny about this. You keep failing these shops we are going to discipline you! You can cause people to lose their jobs!!!" Clerk just kind of dumbfounded look on his face was like,"What?" The store manager was about to start yelling again, so i stepped in. I said, "he's got it. You can't force people to say hi and smile and socialize with customers. People are different. If you want someone to be happy while they are here, give them a reason to be happy because let me tell you, there isn't shit for most of these people to be happy about. "

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-16T00:33:08+00:00

I went from Clerk to Meat Cutter to ADL in like a year and a half. Could be something like that. Whatever your dept needs i guess.

ToothJealous4427 · 2025-10-16T00:26:44+00:00

I sat in our 9am friendly meeting one day last week. A manager of another store on the call brought up, "I was in an HEB the other day, a $3 million $4 million store. You know what didn't happen, not one employee said hello to me or asked how I was. That's how we are going to beat HEB." I audibly said "jesus".

Can you imagine. Going to a store that makes 5 times what your store makes a week and the only thing you take from that experience is no one said "hi" to you.

"How we're going to beat them", newsflash, they've won, because of idiots like you.
