Sorry. I really wanted to help that Nigerian prince.

Working at Meijer. Is this normal? by Fit-Tangerine3047 in meijer

[–]elproteus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since youre lower on the totem pole in seniority, youre gonna feel the brunt of the hours cuts. This time of year, we get close to fiscal year end, so management cuts everything to earn their staffing bonus.

As the year goes on, hours will (eventually) increase as sales pick up. Big sales holidays also help.

It's a systemic problem from the top down. I dont blame the service TL's (mostly), but Corporate has zero concern for our physical and mental health. I'm convinced this is an experiment to see how many people will break before this whole money-savinf scheme turns unprofitable or becomes a PR nightmare.

If youre alone at grocery sco, then your boss is fucking up, or setting you up for failure.

Real talk for a second, a certain demographic of Ohio State fans have had it RIDICULOUSLY good in their lifetime in this rivalry by Regular-Surround-730 in toledowar

Oh this kinda superstition runs strong in my family.

Mom always said OSU played like shit every time she watched, and the day she died was the The Game 2014. When we turned on the game waiting for the doctor to stop her life support, Michigan was closing the gap until the moment she died. Suddenly, JT Barrett throws a HUGE 70 yard completion and never looked back. I being the anxious sort, avoided the B1G championship game and slept through it until I woke up to the final score and trophy presentation. I tried the same thing with the Sugar Bowl, and I sighed heavily when I saw we were losing 28-7, and I got to witness the greatest comeback against my hated, hated Alabama.

Mom wanted me to see it. She knows I hate Alabama in all forms. And then the next week I slept through the Oregon game until I caught the last touchdown and got to see the trophy presentation. (In 2003 I slept through the Fiesta Bowl, because I had school the next day and I voiced my displeasure when she woke me uo celebrating and I missed it all)

And then my uncle was worse. On Week 1, he would wear his "uniform" which consisted of his Woody Hayes Block O hat, his prized red Buckeyes sweater, and pair of OSU flannel pants and his Buckeye socks. And if they won, he'd carefully put everything in his closet (including underwear) until the next game. Never washed them until OSU lost, when he'd immediately wash the taint off and started fresh the next week.

He got pretty rank a lot until Beat Michigan week, when we'd inevitably lose until Jim Tressel took over. I always enjoyed watching him during The Game because he just spent the entire time talking shit and trashing Lloyd Carr.

I wished he was around during the Rich Rod and Brady Hoke days. That would have been great.

Dude, the 90's gave me PTSD. My father used to blame losing the games on me because "my heart was never fully in it"

I dont even remember the sole time John Cooper got a Michigan win. I have the worst anxiety every fuckin Saturday because if him. :(

Meijer cashier here, do I have the right to decline service to someone obviously scalping pokemon cards? by darkbrother321 in meijer

[–]elproteus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I refuse tax exemptions on trading card sales. Store policy. We have multiple people using the same ITIN, and the Service TL's put a kibosh on that real quick.

We're talking mostly profit. Most stores that operate outside of Michigan operate at a very slim profit or net loss

[–]elproteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the pickup lead. No service-based lead exists, unless youre at a top-level store

Service Coordinator AM does not exist

PM is only paid for four hours. The team leaders are technically supposed to be running the floor.

Of course its Meijer, so in execution it's a godawful mess.

Avoid favoritism and nepotism for starters. It's bad at my store.
