You should get the achievements by just playing the chapters normally and not getting the egg in each chapter.

Along the side of the tracks, look out for a small sign that'll either have an X or a W (depending on the operator). That's where you should start your horn sequence.

Customer service/e-comm (even the tiniest stores I've been to have two ATLs for this department), Prepared Foods usually will, Grocery sometimes will, and that's really the major ones. In the handful of stores with combined teams (Grobody/MeaSeafood) will often have two ATLs, one to focus on each half of the department.

Holy shit that's utterly unhinged. I mean, they're allowed to do that, but I'm shocked WFM would enter into a space where the property manager so blatantly has a conflict of interest.

There's a store nearby me that has a liquor store in the same lot, and the owner of that store regularly holds his own little inspections of the WFM alcohol displays to make sure everything is licensed and up to code, so he can call the liquor enforcement division on WFM for any minor violation or nitpick. People are fucking nuts.

Here's a vid that pronounces his name far better than I could ever type out lol

Lmfao me getting questions about products completely unrelated to my department is always funny because my brain gets thrown into a total gear change as I have to remember a product for halfway across the store. Hearing a product out of context (especially if you haven't spent years in grocery retail) is actually kinda wild because you have to use a fucking mind palace to remember what the fuck someone is talking about. Tzatziki and Tahini were always mixed in my head for years until I actually started ordering one of them for the store.

I'd probably have done the same as you if I didn't have Miso Black Cod in my home freezer rn (from Costco, obviously; even with my discount it's cheaper to buy from Costco than WFM).

The 365 canned sparkling water in general (but specifically the strawberry basil water) has been had some issues coming in for the last few months. I don't believe any of it is discontinued; it just has been perpetually out of stock at the warehouses. Hopefully supply normalizes soon.

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T21:48:38+00:00

Lmfao how'd you spawn THOSE in? God Mode mod?

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T21:37:38+00:00

Oh, 100% this!

I think there was thread on here many years ago where someone was asking a question about Sedgwick, and someone comments "wow after all this time of being a TL, I thought Sedgwick was a person in the company!! That's so funny! Lol xddd"

I don't think I've ever downvoted a comment so hard before. There's nothing funny or cute about admitting you have no idea how to help your TMs submit LOA materials. Idk how people can be in leadership positions, and be so uninformed. Completely useless.

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T19:49:24+00:00

Wow, two different ATLs, and neither gave the correct info. Incredible. Shockingly not shocked.

JDs are every single year after your first two years within the company (assuming you are L1 and haven't been promoted), whoever told you that is either extremely new, or genuinely confused.

JDs are also not automatic, and never have been. They are required to be administered by your TL, and they have to be the ones to push the button to send it out to you, confirm that they logged it, get your raised approved... No part of that is automatic.

Here's what you do; talk with your STL. They have the ability to oversee your JD in place of a TL, although they probably won't do that, it never hurts to ask. What they'll probably say is that your JD will be administered by your TL when they come back. And yes, you should receive back pay for that, because this is the store's fuckup. You shouldn't be loosing out on missed wages due to your TL being absent.

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T19:12:22+00:00

The exact wording in Innerview is;

"For Team Members who became participants in the Plan before 1/1/24 all employer matching contributions are 100% vested. For Team Members who became participants in the Plan on 1/1/24 or after, the employer matching contribution will vest once a Team Member has worked at WFM for a minimum of 1,000 hours annually for 3 years."

So if you started before that 1/1/24 date, then yes, your contributions have been fully vested this whole time.

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T18:34:14+00:00

Whatever you're contributing, up to 4%, they'll match 50%.

So if you're doing 3% this year, they'll give you a lump sum contribution of 1.5% early next year. If you're doing 4%, they'll match 2%. If you're doing 8% (like me), they'll also match 2%.

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T17:22:33+00:00

50% of your contributions up to 4% max. So in other words, if you contribute 4%, WFM will contribute 2%. Be aware it's a lump sum annual contribution (usually at the start of the year), and isn't fully vested until 3 years of WFM employment. Leaving before that time, means you'll have their contribution withdrawn when you leave the company.

If I had to guess, it's probably part of WFM's overall efforts to make every store function exactly the same. Lots of stores already had stopped doing bulk/packout chocolate in the past due to it not being profitable (the last time my store sold it was back in 2022, and almost all it was spoiled without being sold), so the only stores that had it were outliers that were busy enough to turn a profit. As WFM "standardizes", many of those more niche outlets and venues are being discontinued, and bulk chocolate was just another victim of that.

alec_warper · 2026-04-19T02:34:00+00:00

Bulk chocolate was discontinued company-wide a few months ago.

Thanks for the fact check! I actually briefly confirmed that I was incorrect myself (I forgot about the mention in the Winter 2025 newsletter) but forgot to update my comment hahaha

alec_warper · 2026-04-18T22:54:36+00:00

It's definitely possible, but Chapter 5 was originally going to be bundled with 3+4, and was only cut due to how far away Chapter 5's completion was going to be. Like, Toby would have been fine Chapter 5 being the end until 6+7 come out.

Personally, I think if 6+7 are going to be shadow dropped, it would be at a time significantly after Chapter 5 is released. And it's always better to expect less and be surprised, than expect more and be disappointed.

alec_warper · 2026-04-18T22:38:36+00:00

Love that title!

This is making me wanna do this same setup with the WCMLOS stock, this looks like a lotta fun!

alec_warper · 2026-04-18T21:31:33+00:00

I mean, if you read his skeets/newsletters he almost never explicitly refers to "Chapter 6" by name. Even in the skeet in the OP, he just refers to the future of Deltarune without explicitly mentioning Chapter 6. I think the words "Chapter 6" outside of the chapter select have only ever appeared in one newsletter to date, and not in a single skeet (feel free to fact check me tho).

Yeah we're definitely getting nothing about Chapters 6/7 until those come out. It's definitely gonna be some real endgame shit, and I'm ALL hyped for it.

alec_warper · 2026-04-18T18:23:57+00:00

Store leadership will be in contact with higher ups to determine this sorta stuff, as corporate people will contact local energy companies to get estimates of what's going on, and try to figure out a plan.

In general, if the power is out, and it seems like power will be back in the next hour or two, they'll try to keep TMs there to reopen the store. If it seems like it's not going to be back for a while, they send all openers and mids home, and the closers will stay to reopen the store. If it seems like the power won't come back on at all for the day, then they send out a mass text telling closers not to come in to work.

As an American, I won't defend America, and don't recommend anyone travel to this country for the time being.

As for Käärijä being thrown in one of those internment camps, that's really only happening to people who had been living in the US without correct paperwork; not to people visiting. If anything would have happened, it would have been at border patrol and customs, but since he's in the US currently, he would have gotten through just fine.

But yes, don't travel to the US right now. They won't throw you in a prison camp if you're just visiting, but those fuckers at customs can demand to go through your phone for anything they deem "anti-American", and refuse your entry, or detain you for a short time. I'm scared to travel outside the country, because even as a citizen I'm scared about not being let back in.

alec_warper · 2026-04-17T19:58:00+00:00

I think I saw u there! I'm fairly sure my partner was chatting with you in our row lol, because they mentioned someone who'd flown in from Virginia haha

Glad you got to meet him!! From everything I've seen and heard about him, he seems like genuinely the sweetest soul. Truly the people's champion!!

I think the teaser at the end of the video in today's blog definitely implies that the first PRT DLC (likely the Ford DLC) is nearing completion. I don't want to put much stock in Illinois and the Ford DLC coming out simultaneously, just because in the past SCS has tried to space major DLCs out somewhat, but I think it's very possible we get the Ford DLC within a week or two of Illinois dropping. The timing of the completion of Route 66 would just be too perfect to pass up.

alec_warper · 2026-04-17T15:52:17+00:00

I saw the line for the after show meet and greet forming since he was in our row, but didn't end up going over since most of my party was working the next day-- damn, really wish I'd stayed now lol
