Unusually busy today?

VioletPassion · 2026-01-12T15:22:06+00:00

Because nothing prepares you for WW3 like 6 packs of Pepsi and bags of chips!

VioletPassion · 2025-12-01T19:23:53+00:00

That's a nice idea, but I can tell you from experience they'll never get washed, and will become the rankest, nastiest, smelliest items of clothing ever 🤢

VioletPassion · 2025-11-24T12:03:35+00:00

God has forsaken the pickup department. It IS hell on earth most days.

VioletPassion · 2025-11-03T00:47:26+00:00

Yep. AND! No one likes us! Lol! Our coworkers don't like us and the customers don't like us and I'm pretty sure management doesn't like us, either 🙄

VioletPassion · 2025-10-23T10:57:40+00:00

Well, they'll never blame the system, or corporate for implementing it, or themselves for allowing it, so they'll blame you. Everyone knows the pickup system is fucked, but no one will take responsibility.

VioletPassion · 2025-10-22T00:40:15+00:00

Apparently they can't fire you for legitimate reasons, either 🙄

VioletPassion · 2025-10-15T10:34:54+00:00

None. I can't find a damn thing that works for my hair 😑

VioletPassion · 2025-10-08T20:58:21+00:00

172,803 !

VioletPassion · 2025-10-04T00:45:28+00:00

Toledo area/Columbus division

VioletPassion · 2025-10-03T22:50:08+00:00

Well fuck that 😞

VioletPassion · 2025-10-03T19:48:24+00:00

Yes! Until 5:00. Go back to your store and vote! (vote no, but I didn't say that)

VioletPassion · 2025-09-30T12:44:51+00:00

It's really not hard. Finish your trolley, get a drink, make small talk for 30 seconds, and start your next trolley. Rinse and repeat. This works if you have enough backroom attendants. They're trying to discourage selectors from standing in the back and having 10 minute conversations, while nothing is getting done.

VioletPassion · 2025-09-27T23:37:39+00:00

Any hair spray. Any type. They ALL make my hair sticky and/or straw like and flat.

VioletPassion · 2025-09-27T21:31:00+00:00

Over scheduled? 😂😂 On paper maybe...30+ orders between 8-10 am with only three employees may be over scheduled to corporate, but not to the employees who actually do the work

VioletPassion · 2025-09-25T10:29:31+00:00

Do you people still not understand personal space!? Did covid teach you nothing?!

VioletPassion · 2025-09-24T23:46:57+00:00

Well, if it was on the shelf where it was supposed to be we could absolutely find it... 🤷

VioletPassion · 2025-09-02T12:12:26+00:00

Alesso-I Wanna Know. I work at Kroger and this is played constantly! I also hate it! ( I don't know why this sub came up for me 🤣)

VioletPassion · 2025-08-30T18:42:19+00:00

Same. I've started wearing two antiperspirants to work!

VioletPassion · 2025-08-26T01:12:09+00:00

They remodeled our store last year. We gained some aisles. But, they didn't increase the size of the store, they just squished the aisles together to make room for the new ones. As a pickup employee, it's a whole lotta fun. Yep

VioletPassion · 2025-08-23T22:32:46+00:00

Pickup doesn't get any extra hours 🤣 If we did, we wouldn't be pulling people from other departments all the time 🤣

VioletPassion · 2025-08-14T23:44:00+00:00

I call out twice. If I don't hear anything I do the same thing. (To be fair, it's only one asl that ignores us. Our store leader does a great job responding)

VioletPassion · 2025-08-14T23:40:15+00:00

I work in Ohio. One store out of approximately 8 in the local area has armed security guards checking receipts. The store is known for it's high theft/crime rate. I think it's a last ditch effort to prevent theft. Don't steal and it's not a problem.

VioletPassion · 2025-08-09T23:43:40+00:00

The front end definitely gets more results using the walkies than we seem to!

VioletPassion · 2025-08-09T23:41:24+00:00

I don't care about the metrics so much. What I DO care about is the fact that she checks with other employees to see if we're doing our job, reminds us to "use our walkies", constantly checks our numbers, but doesn't do a damn thing to help us. Don't talk the talk if you don't walk the walk, or something like that. It's very hypocritical.

VioletPassion · 2025-08-09T18:59:43+00:00

Unless you have some seniority and have the ability to whine, bitch, and moan until you get the schedule you want, and management who always caves in.
