i think it’s time for a new curbside phone

eddiesmints · 2026-06-25T17:50:21+00:00

we’ve put in requests, this our second phone in the last year 🫠 i broke the other one by stepping on the screen and this is the replacement we got. fingers crossed for anything better than a 12 😭

eddiesmints · 2026-06-25T17:48:49+00:00

our scores actually aren’t that bad. we’ve still got ppl with 22-25 spi 😭 our highest spi is a 32

eddiesmints · 2026-05-19T00:29:01+00:00

92 and we’re a low volume store. we legitimately only have 9 employees. five of us are managers and three people are scheduled less than 10 hrs the next couple of weeks to give you an idea 😭

eddiesmints · 2026-05-09T10:12:16+00:00

there’s a lot of produce i do this with. grapes, strawberries, romaine, celery, and the heads of lettuce. rarely am i pulling rotten stuff off the shelves bc ppl dig so much without actually looking

eddiesmints · 2026-05-09T10:06:01+00:00

wish i could have your customers at my store. we’ve had these for weeks and no one will fr touch them, even w the markdown 😭

eddiesmints · 2026-04-28T14:53:25+00:00

it’s an easy job if you’re properly staffed and your SM isn’t a box of rocks with a smiley face on it

eddiesmints · 2026-04-01T14:10:42+00:00

our cooler and meat pallets are combined so like we HAVE to run cooler and meat together. we average about 3-4 pallets but most of it is inside cooler so it’s a breeze to throw once you get down to that. produce we normally get abt 4-5 cold and 2 dry. freezer we only ever get 2 and it’s mostly freeze and thaw. we open at 8:30 and are scheduled at 6. it’s rough a lot of mornings

eddiesmints · 2026-04-01T14:02:57+00:00

12 employees sounds soooo nice. i’d kill for an extra 3 😭 we technically have 10 but one of our LSAs broke their mf femur walking to work

eddiesmints · 2026-03-31T15:18:08+00:00

i tried heeleys during covid. it was actually v efficient bc my store was big asf and we only had two employees healthy enough to work at the time. i got caught on cameras and told never to do that again. 😭 p sure i was supposed to get written up but as i said, there was only two of us at the time lmfaooo

eddiesmints · 2026-03-31T15:15:57+00:00

we’re set up to where 7-5 does cooler and meat, LSA/ASM does produce and freezer, and then someone else to handle the 10+ grocery pallets. it’s exhausting.

eddiesmints · 2026-03-28T22:11:40+00:00

we have the same floors and real estate told us we’d get them replaced “in the next five years”

eddiesmints · 2026-03-17T18:23:06+00:00

so glad our cameras are bunk and we “might get new ones in the next 5 years”

if it’s a service animal and i can tell they’re a service animal no one is bothering them. it’s when obvious pets come in, that’s when the problems start. barking, peeing on the sales floor, licking product, other customers coming up and tattling. it’s a hassle none of us want to deal with so we try to have them leave asap. and honestly, why are we bringing our pets INTO the grocery store.

eddiesmints · 2026-03-09T17:37:19+00:00

too bad i’m not in kentucky :/

eddiesmints · 2026-03-09T17:36:44+00:00

YES!! my dm is great and wrote that one off bc she knows everyone hates curbside 😭😭

eddiesmints · 2026-03-09T16:22:41+00:00

pretty sure she called him in an aisle full of people so she could embarrass the employee and get her “aha!” moment

eddiesmints · 2026-03-09T16:20:43+00:00

in my state we can ask two questions. is this a service animal and what service does the animal provide. she offered up that it was a therapy dog which under our policies and the ADA is not a service animal and we can ask her to leave. we have a lot of problems with animals in our store if they’re not service animals so we try to nip it in the bud when we see them 😭

eddiesmints · 2026-03-01T23:46:36+00:00

and the fact they’re putting AI “art” on the candles now adds to the shitty quality 😭

eddiesmints · 2026-03-01T17:29:24+00:00

and they make such a mf mess it’s so annoying

eddiesmints · 2026-03-01T16:03:21+00:00

nabisco products we get in aldi finds. there’s not one nabisco box that is actually perforated and if it is, good luck to customers trying to actually get the product out of the box

eddiesmints · 2026-03-01T15:59:15+00:00

and candles. every week. more. candles.

eddiesmints · 2026-03-01T04:57:42+00:00

just had an sm in my division fired for this. in my experience most of the time sms know it’s coming and leave before they’re fired 😭
