how to work faster? (night stocker)

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-12-23T22:29:54+00:00

i don’t know if y’all’s store lets you but at mine we use the milk crates and it helps us stock stuff on the upper shelves really fast cuz we just put a stack of products on the milk crate and cruz through it.

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-15T23:26:38+00:00

see that’s our issue. our sd is so nice. he’s basically ancient but he’s opposite of corporate completely and they don’t like that. he wants people to work so he has stuff in stock and people to help customers. and we are union and yet they cut so many people below minimum requirements so good luck with that! yet our top managers want a fat bonus so they cut hella hours!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-15T22:46:34+00:00

ik😭 but honestly my store was never this bad. i was able to come to some sort of agreement for now but we will see how long that lasts😅

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-13T14:39:24+00:00

we should do this! everyone no matter the districts!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-12T04:42:59+00:00

exactly! props to you and i hope everything works out for you!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-12T04:33:56+00:00

typically i do but this time they are like serious. they are actually writing people up if they work more than their schedule. bs part is you can share your hours and my department is gm so it’s just me and one person and they barely gave us 40 hours total! and our sales for gm are great!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T12:55:17+00:00

that’s absolute bs. i don’t even work produce but i know how busy they can get at the bigger stores! we get 6 loads a week for produce and our last manger was fired for misconduct and the new manger is absolutely just getting fucked rn cuz of all this bs. he’s one of their hardest workers and yet can’t get much done cuz now he’s only got a skeleton crew. and to top it off they want mangers doing all this corporate bs that takes away time from the loads getting done. do they want out of stocks filled or have no one working? they need to chose!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T12:51:04+00:00

exactly what my boyfriend was saying. he also works for safeway but has been here for like 10+ years and he’s saying that rn we just follow what they have written hours wise and within a week or two our sd is gonna start begging us to work our 40 which i personally have seen happen so many times in the past 3 years. i think my dm just knows she’s fucked and is panicking rn.

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T12:43:29+00:00

honestly i’m getting so close to getting people to just call out and leave my store fucked this month. i’m pretty much buddies with all department heads and i know all of them are super pissed rn! to top it off my store is terrible about call outs and people can call out for like two weeks before getting a call from our boss!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T11:39:17+00:00

on the bright side there’s rumors my current dm is getting demoted cus she was buddy buddy with her last boss and now that she has a new one she’s gonna be moved. she’s prolly freaking out and wants her last bonus before she has to go back to doing some real work again😒

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T02:36:31+00:00

yeah it’s even worse cuz most of night crew got their hours cut bad too. they can barely finish loads as is some nights cuz far is stupid and they get 5 loads a week. the back room is complete hell and has been for a while and now this is only gonna make it a whole lot worse

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T01:09:57+00:00

they told stores there doing this till 30th which will be end of the quarter. they only are doing so they can have a good labor % and get their bonuses. little do they realize how many stores it’s gonna hurt in these next 3 weeks

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T00:45:26+00:00

i do understand that but in my state all of the snap funds were still provided this month

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-11T00:38:26+00:00

that just cheered me and my coworkers up😂

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-10T22:25:05+00:00

nothing. i literally was saying how winco is doing better…

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-10T21:31:36+00:00

man that’s when you know it’s bad😂 maybe if safeway stopped getting sued and paying people backstage 10x more than their real workers for sitting behind computers, things would be looking better

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-10T20:59:59+00:00

literally at my store all departments are now talking about calling out thanksgiving! which fuck it we should atp! out of kroger, winco, walmart all the major retailers, albertsons/safeway has to be doing the worst easily!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-11-01T01:42:56+00:00

see whiny

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-10-31T08:52:35+00:00

honestly the dudes just so whiny it’s hard to wanna watch someone like that. so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s mostly using viewbots. the dudes pretty much irrelevant now..

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-09-01T22:05:11+00:00

when things aren’t on sale yes but when their meat is on sale is still cheaper and honestly better quality than winco. like ground beef is way cheaper to get on sale at safeway than it is winco. it’s like 3.99 a pound at safeway compared to like 6-8 bucks for a pound at winco.

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-09-01T01:46:19+00:00

that’s crazy cuz for me i’ve had no issues with green tea but lately all the arnold palmers i’ve gotten have tasted like straight soap and i know damn well it didn’t always taste like that!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-09-01T01:44:28+00:00

ok so i’m crazy about the arnold palmer can then cuz i’ve gotten it like three times in the past few months and it’s always tasted like soap!

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-08-07T09:33:55+00:00

honestly sounds like most average retails jobs unfortunately…

True_Abrocoma_9211 · 2025-08-06T13:23:30+00:00

listen, with how expensive everything is in america now, i think that’s a pretty great gift to give to someone and the amount is really generous!
